Christmas Countdown Challenge (Closed) - Week #9

cw: 185

will try to summit measurement later tonight when i get off of work

I hate my arms and found the best work out is boxing. If you have access to a WII golds gym cardio is perfect!!!

Thanks! I actually just found a gym near home that offers a boxing class on Saturday mornings. I'm hoping to take Friday off from work so if I don't work that day I'll go check them out and see how much it is. And I think boxing would be a good way for me to get out all my work-related stress!

Happy Monday CCC!!! :bigsmile: Welcome back to some missing friends and our vacationers!!! Sorry to say it's time to get back to the healthy life style with NO GUILT!!!! The healthy life style is not so bad.....with Moderation you can have what ever you might want. I am still not sure who I am these days!!!!!!!!!!!! I really feel like I have the mind of a close to skinny person

Saturday I had to go to a Baby Shower. I went to spin in the morning and then came home and put on my NEW running shoes and took them out for a test run walk 30 mins!!!! At the shower I got compliments on my new jeans and more toned self. I looked at the food and :noway: Ate in moderation, cuccumber and egg salad finger sandwiches, LOTS of fruit, alittle salad, some Almonds on the table and NO cakeballs dipped in chocolate, brownies and other goodies!!!!!

I also only enjoyed wine on friday :drinker: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However today I feel like I have a hangover since I am lacking sleep. I stayed up waiting for my son to come home from a concert. Then had to get him up and to school by 6:30 for football. Now my MFP timer is about to go off and I should get to work :frown:

Something I have heard is a good thing to do and I am going to focus on is light dinners!!! I hear a bigger lunch then a small dinner is the way to go. So my Quote for that is.....IF YOU WISH TO GROW THINNER DIMISH YOU DINNER :flowerforyou:

Enjoy your day

Sorry for being so late AGAIN for the millionth time. I went on a little trip to see my boyfriends family so I was away from the computer all weekend. I hope I did okay with the eating but I was great with the exercise. We went hiking, played in the park and I was up and moving with the kids all weekend. I had a blast. I will update my weight, and measurements when I come home from the gym tonight. Sorry again.
