Leading ladies group (closed group)! Second weigh in!

Hello my beautiful, sexy leading ladies!

A few things to address before we get started:

1.) Name change is official!! Instead of having a name that belongs on a glue bottle we now sound like the amazing group we are. So from now on we are known as the leading ladies! Also, I posted my profile pic of the leading ladies of Hollywood to symbolize our group! I am so proud of each and every one of you and I wanna show us off! :-)

2.) I stated that we are a closed group, however, I decided to make this an all female group because no males have signed up. If your a female and have not participated and your interested you can still join!

3.) I apologize for not having been able to respond to the previous week. This has been a week from hell personally but I am gonna pick myself up and move on! This week you will all receive feedback. Also, I highly encourage all of you to respond to one another, especially if you have any tips or advice for the members. What you have to say is soo important! Don't hesitate to share :-)

4.) Lets get started! :-)

I hope that you all had an amazing week and that we all worked hard on our goals.

Today's assignments will require deep reflection and examining the good and the bad. I heard a few quotes during the week and one really hit close to home. I want all of us to reflect together and support one another. Also, as posted last week, I want us to work on a goal and see how well we do!

Assignment 1: weigh in

I weighed in at 209.0 from 211.6 last time. I lost 2.6 lbs for a total of 16.2 lbs. I feel very happy for the success so far but I have mixed feelings. Although this is a great start I still have so much more to do. My weight hasn't changed in the past 3 days and I'm praying hard that I am not hitting the plateau yet. I'm taking today off from exercise and I'm gonna change a few eating and exercise habits to see if I can make a change! :-)


Assignment 2: Quote of the day

"If you really put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price." - Author Unknown

All I can say is damn... Simply put how can I expect the world to treat me as a gorgeous leading lady when I can't even consider the thought. We radiate what we feel inside towards the world. If we walk around with a bad attitude, hating our bodies and not wanting anyone to see us then how can we expect the world to take a loving approach? I think this is an area thats safe to assume we need to be selfish. Don't be afraid to own who you are and show it off! Love your curves, your beauty, your abilities and make the world see why it can't spin without u! Start loving who u are now and as you loose weight and transform yourself make the love you have for yourself stronger.


Assignment 3: Deep reflection

I love watching What Not To Wear because they help women who usually have self-esteem issues. One woman I saw this week reminded me soo much of me. She loved who she was on the inside but hated who she was on the outside. She loved her personality but couldn't look at herself in the mirror. Can you honestly say you love who you are on the inside and outside?

My answer to this is no. I don't love the outside as I do the inside. And it makes me upset to say this. I hate thinking that I could love only a part of myself, not all of myself. I go through so many emotions thinking about it. I hate that my weight robbed me of my early 20's. I hate that I let it rob me of my early 20's. I get angry thinking my weight took away people's right assumptions of me and made them think "I'm just some random chick". I feel slightly hopeless cause obviously I can't go back and do something about it then but I do feel happy that I am doing something about it now. However, I do feel that loving who I am on the outside is going to be harder than loosing the weight. Loosing the weight is putting in the work and not only you but also the world seeing the results being produced. In working on the inside your on your own with how you interpret the results. Only you can deem if your loving yourself enough or not. But once you get to a point where u can honestly say you love yourself on the inside and outside you will truly transform everything you touch!


Assignment 4: Nutrition goal summary and exercise goal for next week:

My nutritional goal was to eat no more than 2 times per week. I ate three times :-(. No excuses for me but in between commuting for school and making it on time it is usually earlier to grab a sandwich than make it at home. However, I am happy that when I did eat out I didn't go over my calories and I made sure I worked out!

Exercise goal: I know how important incorporating weights into your routine is. I have been doing strength training every other day with weights and have worked on my arms and shoulders. However, I want to go a step further with the weights and add it with cardio. What I want to do for this week is every other day I want to walk with weights in my hands for about 5 to 10 minutes. I want to use it as a warm up and really bring the heart rate up to get the burning going!

All right leading ladies its time to reflect, post and go work on our dreams! Also, if you have any questions, comments or concerns to post for the group do not hesitate to do so!!!
