Sixers Spring Clean Challenge Week 2

Lauryn, your hair looks FABULOUS! I LOVE IT! You are so beautiful! I hate that you are in such a crappy situation at the moment, but to look at your face, you can't tell it, you look gorgeous. My family in TN has the rare white stuff, too. Most of them have school cancelled as well. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Pedal-don't worry, you can kick those couple extra pounds to the curb. You are strong and confident and YOU CAN do it. Great job yesterday! I agree with you on the sleep thing. With hubby gone, my bedtime hours are mixed up and I am not getting a ton of sleep. I think that may have something to do with my eating. I have been trying to adjust it as hubby will be gone for a while yet.

Ok, I will be back later. So good to see lots of people here this morning and last night. Be back soon. Hugs ladies!

Morning Ladies,

Lauren I LOVE the hair!!! Its super cute and very flattering....I know what its like to have hubby troubles...seriously....I've been seperated for 3.5 months now....I'm not going to tell you to give it him another chance, I don't know what the issues are....but I just want you to know that I completely understand and I'm here to rant too if you need it. ::hugs::

Kristin, I wanna see the bump!! :laugh:

Hugs to everyone else...I'm busy at work today so don't have much time to write just yet....I did get to the gym and run/walk 3.06 miles!! Yeah!!

BBL.

Good morning ladies!!!

Today is my last day off, had a 4 day weekend and as Lauryn stated, we got some snow in Va too. So, since its considered the south, most things are closed... or delayed opening. :grumble: Oh well. I am doing some boxes and organizing my soon to be fitness room. I have been using my elliptical but I need to set up a circuit training area/station so I won't have excuses.

Amylou- Glad you enjoyed your trip and be careful traveling back home. Good luck this week w/ school

Lauryn- Your hair cut looks wonderful. Glad you found a way for your hair to bless others. Look at you, always looking out for other people. As for you and your struggles, I know you can make it. Just imagine how many calories that journal is keeping from your body. Don't beat yourself up, as long as you keep communicating with us and keeping one eye on your fitness and health goals, you will survive. I know that you have the power to stand on top of these hard times AND when time passes you will read back some of your entries from the journal and laugh at how it has passed and how much better you feel now. I will continue to think about you!!! Yay, for a happy future!!

Rhiannon- Glad that you are getting back into the swing of things. I'm happy that Leith is adjusting well too, don't forget the gums heal faster than any tissue in the body, so he will be doing better rapidly. Your comment on not beating yourself up about the small gains, was memorable. That is something we can all learn from.

Kristin- glad you and the baby are doing well

Robin- How is the fitness going at the gym?

Katie- hope you are doing better w/ your eating today!!! I know you can do it!

Tudor- Thanks for the next thread, I know who must be ready for week 3! :laugh:

Shanell and Cathy- How are you two doing?

Red/Strawberry- how are things on your end?

Well my breakfast was weird today! I wanted something sweet, thought about pancakes then I decided that my last slice of carrot cake would make me happy. So that was my bfast- I thought oh its like having a muffin. :laugh: Using anything I could think of to make it OK. Then I got a package in the mail from a friend for my Birthday with ..... my favorite. Rice crispies in the shape of a birthday hat. Of course I had that too. Well.... I will do better the rest of the day!!! LOL. Just thought this might show how having a plan can prevent the sweet tooth craving monster from taking over!

Take care!

Tamm

You guys are so lucky to get snow. It didn't even freeze at my house and it was supposed to snow here too.:grumble:

But, because the snow was so bad up in NY, we weren't that heavy in the warehouse because the work comes from our customer service up there and they had a snow day today, so that just means I'm going to get my butt whooped tomorrow. I also go to the dentist tomorrow to hopefully start on my teeth.

Today I realized I didn't really eat a whole lot. But it was higher calorie foods because I did use all my cals, but I was never really hungry either. I did my work out this morning. Went to FitTV and worked out with Bob in Cardiomax and he kicked my booty,:laugh: .

Lauryn I love the new haircut. Both my girls just got their hair cut short like that because they both wanted to donate their hair to Locks for Love. They both chopped off 10".

Well, just wanted to pop in right quite and say what's up. Been busy since I got home. Have a good evening. Talk to ya'll tomorrow. Good luck for weigh in's.

Tamm-can I just say again how good it is to have you hear more often? Lovin' it! Also, didn't do great on my food today. Didn't eat so much food, just that what I ate was not good for me and HIGH in calories. Kiddo was sick today and my aunt and I were feeling a bit squeamish as well, no nausea, just headaches, so I suppose carbs were my medicine today. But, tomorrow is a new day!

Lauryn-be careful, that stuff comes out of nowhere and can do some serious damage.

Rhiannon-how was the petting zoo?

well, I am not ready for weigh-in tomorrow, but I will be honest, whatever the scale says. Have a great night ladies. See you in the new thread tomorrow.

BTW, Tudor, thanks for starting the new thread. I didn't want you to think we were ignoring you. We weigh-in on Tuesdays so that is when we start posting to the new thread. Thanks for getting it ready for us. Hope you are doing well!
