Daily Challenge Day 10: Incorporate something into you routine that increases your self-esteem... wear make-up... do your hair... or just take a minute to breathe and relax
I took the time today to feel feminine today... hair... make-up... The past couple of months have been pretty stressful and I noticed I stop taking the time to feel pretty. Having my feminine routine for me is just one more piece of the healthy lifestyle that I love so much. What's one of your missing pieces that you haven't made time for lately?0 -
Having been heavy throughout my whole relationship with my boyfriend, I used to make more of an effort. Now that it's been almost 5 years, I've noticed I've let the little things go by the wayside so before he got here this weekend I washed my hair and blew it dry and straightened it. I put on a skirt and a nice shirt and the necklace that he bought me and just a touch of lip gloss. It made me feel beautiful before he even got there and he confirmed it when he saw me. Nice challenge!0

How did everyone do over the weekend? I didnt' get a chance to workout (we had 20 family friends here Thursday-Sunday!!), but it was a great weekend. Today the weather is creeping back close to the nineties, so maybe a treadmill run will be in order tonight.
Have fun this week!0 -
Day 12 Daily Challenge. Quit a bad habit. If only for one day. Me and a friend are having a contest to see who will give in first - he gave up cigs I gave up diet drinks. 48 hours in, I am crashing hard with super withdrawals! Hopefully I can just wait it out and it will get easier!
My weekend was awesome! It was a scorcher. Now back to the seventies/sixties. I even started my day off with a morning run 0 -
Daily Challenge Day 13: What is something you have been procrastinating on? That job application? Getting student loans? What's the next step? Do it! You'll be amazed at how you feel afterwards. This is your time to move forward with YOUR life.
I've lost some weight, I'm drinking lots of water, I've quit diet coke (day 3!), I'm exercising, feeling more feminine, I sent out job applications last night and re-did my resume... Things are headed in the right direction ever so slowly!0 -
Things to improve: tracking food consumption! I would lose more if I were more consistent about tracking calories 0

Chedeco - that's awesome! Keep it up. How you dress and what clothes you where affects your entire outlook on yourself.0 -
Hey everyone!! I weighed myself this morning and am down to 221.4!! Woot! Guess I've lost about 8 pounds since I started. My big problem I guess is that now I've started this health journey I just want the weight to fall off and let my inner skinny girl out!!! I guess 8 pounds in about a month is a good start, but I'm going to kick it up a couple notches so I can get 8 more pounds off by the end of September!
Goals for this week:
1) Make that new recipe!! It's gotta involve chicken, green beans and goat cheese, because that's about all I have in the house!
2) Incorporate more strength training into my workouts -- I'm becoming a bit of a cardio junkie.
3) Start putting together the outfit I'm going to buy when I get under 200!!
4) Financial: get a working budget going now that I'm paying more in rent (not exciting, but necessary).
@chedeco -- I totally understand how you feel!! The way I get my water in is by filling up two of the 32 oz. Nalgene bottles and making myself finish both. I don't let myself drink anything else (ok, except coffee lol) until I'm done with those. Maybe that will help? Also, did you say you were from MA? I'm from NH, so hey fellow New Englander!!!
you all!! Hope you are all having days as lovely as yourselves!!!
Congrats on the weight loss that is fabulous! How has your week been going? Your goals? It's motivating to be near weight barriers. I'm stoked to get back into the 140's by golly being overweight is not fun.0 -

Exactly!! This past week has been interesting to say the least! I haven't had a chance yet to weigh myself, but I've been doing pretty well with eating the right foods and getting my exercise in, so hopefully I'll be seeing good things tonight!0 -
