    Happy November Mommies!!

    I think this will be a great month for all of us. Three pounds is a very manageable goal. We are ALL able to use some moderation for Thanksgiving to maintain that loss.

    I am happy to see that you are still with us, Latoya:flowerforyou: My plan is to do better on the weekends this month. When the day starts off rough, we just have to work a little bit harder to get it back on track. A little bit lighter dinner, a little bit heavier workout = successful day:wink:

    I hope everyone made it away from Halloween successfully. I chewed gum the entire trick-or-treating session so I wouldn't be tempted. I did fall prey to one tootsie roll & a couple of Hot Tamales though. It's always nice to see all the kiddos dressed up in their costumes. By the end of the night, I was practically shoveling candy into the poor kids' pails just so I wouldn't be stuck with the temptation of leftovers. We did walk around for a little while before passing out candy so the two-year old could experience "trick-or-treating" = nice workout too!

    Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!

    good weekend advice!

    HAPPY NOVEMBER MOMMIES!!!

    Alright, lets get down to business! As the new unofficial, official team leader (:laugh: ) I do have 2 mini challanges that I want ALL OF US, this includes you too Latoya, to do. Not only do we need to be mindful of what we eat, and get in as much exercise as possible, I would like all of us to keep a close eye on our water and fiber intake. Both water and fiber are VERY key to keeping us full and flushing out all the junk!!! Everyday, Every Mommy, lets get in our work outs and get in as much fiber and water as we can stomach!!! I learned out digestive track can hold onto 11lb of "junk" so lets take the time to up our fiber and flush it out!!! Now go mommies, go! Lets kick November in the rear!!!

    I like the idea of little challenges like this, what do you all think? Does anyone else have any little challenges they would like to throw in????

    Hey hey! I'm Jenna. I'm just going to copy and paste from my "about me."
    --Synopsis:
    I'm blunt. I love Jesus. Don't like it; don't add me. I'm an uber-nerd. Obviously. I use words like "uber" and "synopsis." I can also spell just about anything, and use semicolons correctly. I love my husband and daughter more than anything in this world. I can't imagine life without either of them...they ARE my world. I teach Writing to rowdy, creative fourth graders. I'm a voracious reader, and a zumba fanatic. I like to try new crafty stuff. I paint things. I sew things. I never steal things. You can't scare me; I'm a teacher.

    --Why I'm Here:
    I gained 10 lbs while on fertility meds, then 63 more while pregnant (baby weighed 7 lbs.). I also have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), which makes it hard to maintain a "small" figure, due to hormones being out of whack. I'm wanting to get back where I was at my wedding-- 120 lbs, and STAY. It's gonna be a lifetime fight for me, so I'm in this for good.


    Here's my first weigh-in, since I missed Monday.
    CW: 143.2
    I have another goal to be 141 by this Friday, so my goal will be: 138.

    I'm doing the slimfast thing right now. I'm not usually one for fad diets, but I need a lot of protein to keep me full between meals, and they have 10g, so it's really been helping.

    So...

    Bfast: Slimfast
    [snack]
    Lunch: Slimfast
    [snack]
    Dinner: Pulled pork sandwich w/ 100 cal. pack of Pringles
