Sisterhood HCP Week 6

Are you talking about the Dreya Rolls? Those are my most hated moves!!! I can't seem to get my feet close enough to my rear end when I try to get back up... I always end up getting stuck!!!

Ariella -- your food choices seem great, I just don't know why you're always under on cals. My only thing would be to change breakfast a little, but that's just cuz I get up way too early and don't get lunch until about 1 in the afternoon. I usually have an egg and some turkey bacon, sometimes with some wheat toast. So by the time I get my coffee (yes with lots of yummy creamer), my breakfast is around 300-350 cals. I've found that it really gives me a jump start (since I am sooooo not a morning person, but my hubby and now the child both are) and I'm not nearly as hungry throughout the day. Just a thought. I think you are an enigma.:laugh: I just don't know what to do with you.:laugh: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

sorry for the late response. adding to breakfast will be a challenge cause i never ate it before im just thrilled i can get the cereal down ( i get such a stomache after so this is an improvment for me baby steps :bigsmile: oh and i dont drink coffee anymore (not since college) im glad u think my food choises are good i know u were worried about that cause im under calories. maybe i am an enigma just dont get rid of me you will figure out what to do with me if not just love me lol :smooched:

Don't give up, Ari... You know that you're fueling your body by giving it good food, but maybe you just need to find some more calorie-dense choices. Peanut butter is a great choice, but what other kinds of protein are you getting in your diet? Also, since you are having a hard time with calories, maybe instead of using fat-free milk when you eat cereal, you should get something a little higher, like 2% or full fat? That would also increase your calorie intake, but you would be having the same exact portion size as usual... I know how much you love your banana nut cheerios!!!

awwww i love you called me ari protein so not my problem :laugh: i eat tons of fish and chicken through out the day usually for lunch and breakfast. and the occasional meat and i eat a lot of morning star farms products which have loads of protein. yeah so besides peanut butter which i never even thought as protein lol i eat chicken fish (salmon tuna lox my favorite food which i dont eat so much sushi, sashimi love all fish) roast chicken grilled chicken so much fish and chicken. i actually gave up cheese this week im only gonna do it for 2 weeks possibly a month but no longer i love cheese i want to see if that makes a difference. but def not for life sushi and cheese are my favs ( i was only eating cheese every 2 days so it wasnt a problem but any salt i eat shows on my face and i think the scale so its an experiment) milk wise i actually am having %1 fat free milk so its not too bad i do love me my banana nut cheerios and its helping me eat breakfast which was a huge struggle for me still is but i am eating it. keep the tips coming so helpful and feel loved.

kacee if my dad heard u talking about cows baby cows all cows he would want one i swear its like he wasnt born a city boy congrats on the calf.

i had such a challenge last night i went out with my girls and it usually consists of drinking and junk food (more of stay in watch movie type thing) this is the first time we have done this since ive started my new way of life (see i didnt say diet :blushing: ) i have one friend who i love but shes very heavy and likes me to be the same u know lets all be in hell together type who unconciously (or conciously) tries to sabotage my diet. Well i am very proud to announce that i did not have any alcohal nothing not even a sip (i have elected friday nights my one night i can have a drink and its one drink with dinner and my mother a former bartender makes it for me but after a long week at a mental health clinic i need it) so no drink and no food i stuck with low cal popcorn and i got them to play wii fit after the movie so we could excercise and for the first time doing it damn that thing is hard (yoga soccer balance oh my)

so that was my weekend avoiding temptation and over a 45 minute walk yesterday and i shall do the same later today but its sun so a little lazy today (oh and its snowing lightly )

hope everyone else doing good.

xoxo

10 hours no talking where is everyone

I'm still here, too!!! I just got home... It's 9:30 where I'm at. I hope you have a great time at the gym, Christine, and Pep, I hope your day went well!!!

Sorry I haven't been talking much. I actually haven't been on at all this weekend. We had to have surgery on the little puppy that I got my wife for Christmas and I haven't left the house all weekend because we just got her back on Friday and I haven't been able to do anything this weekend. On Friday when she first came home I didn't get to sleep until about 3:30 and wound up having to wake up again at 5:45. That's how my whole weekend went. So forgive me for not being a good team member!

Hello all,
Sorry I have been MIA as well. I have been working on this brief for school all weekend and I still havent finished! :noway:

I am scrambling today to get it done but I'll check in later tonight.

Pep I am glad you love the snow! It passed right over us and went to you :happy:

Hellooooo, I'm still here, just been out with my 3 year old and ear infections and my 4 month old who has had RSV for almost a week. No sleep equals no exercise or computer time!! As soon as they start getting better and I know I won't pass out on the gazelle from lack of sleep then I'll start up again.

I thought about you Ari this morning when I saw pics of New York and the massive storm!!
I was also thankful it wasn't us...I live in Colorado and it's going to be 76º here today!! Whoo-hoo.
Great day for a walk!!

Have a great day all!! Happy calfing Kacee!! Give my sweet neice a smooch from me too k?

Congrats....Those kind of accomplishments really make it feel like all the pain and suffering and sacrifice are worth it! Keep it up....I should be starting back to working out tonight, I'm beginning to let you get too big of a lead on me Thompsons and I gotta pick it up! Good luck tomorrow to everyone!
