Sixers Slimmer Summer Wk 2

Thank you everyone!! I just got back from a very brisk 45 mintue walk now its time to fo my video!!

KEE UP THE AMAZING WORK LADIES!!!

Wow Ladies,

I guess I am really sick. I haven't been sick all year. My throat is so bad today that I cancelled my customers. I have been sleeping all day. I just got up to get something to eat and thought I would check in. Any way I guess there won't be much change in my weight this week:sad: I am so tired I think I am going to go lay back down.

Thanks Pedal, Now since I woke up a little bit ago, I can say I have full blown summer cold happening. I now have the chest congestion along with a tight cough. So night quil here I come. I'll talk to all you lovely ladies some time tomarrow and let you know how I am. I should bounce back prettty quick. I usally don't get sick for long and normally not sick at all.:grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

You WON'T believe that I got down to 147... but ate so much junk in the past 2 days since I got hit by the car... but I'm going to get my act together so I can weigh in next week :-D

I am starting my intensive studying for boards so I will probably only check in occasionally.

I am doing better now, my knee is injured and we can't find the woman who did it. so I sent an email to the news station this afternoon to see if maybe they can put out an alert asking if anyone witnessed the accident. Wish me luck! Thank you all for wishing me well. My knee hurts and I am pretty bummed that I can't workout like I planned because I have a cruise July 12 and I REALLY wanted to reach my goal... But I feel sooo amazed that somehow I didn't get hurt seriously. It was the ONE time I rode without a helmet. and I didn't even hit my head though I got thrown to the hood of her car. I'm really hoping we can find the woman who hit me. She didn't even apologize. :-( :noway:

I hope you all are doing well. I am still doing the Beck diet solution and I just bought the Eat Clean Diet so I am going to read it tonight. :-)

Tiff, I'll think on some meal ideas for you. And I'm SO EXCITED that you bought Tosca's book. Now I won't be the only Eat Clean Book advocate... we can get everyone to read it

More L8R :laugh:

*ugh* ... for whatever reason my supper just hit me like a ton of bricks. I feel like I'm going to BURST!

Tamm, get back on that workout train madam! And I'm also glad you've got the chutzpa to train with him twice a week!!

Tiff, that's BRUTAL that you don't know who hit you!! RIDICULOUS!! So glad you're only minorly injured!

Kel, I have a cold too. I think that's why my body is rejecting my supper :sick: :laugh:

Lauryn, I'm seriously doubting you put an excess of 17,500 calories into your bod this week. And considering the salty $#!+ you've been eating :glasses: it's no wonder you're holding water. Just wait till you clean it up. You won't be able to go back :flowerforyou:

I have a PSA for you ladies that some may know and some may not. When it comes to the food you put in your body, quality is absolutely as important as quantity (to a point, of course). It's the whole reason I so firmly believe in whole, natural, well-balanced foods. Putting food in your body you either use it as energy / building blocks or store it as fat. Basic stuff, right? And when you put in more than you need you know your body is going to store it. So we're playing numbers games with calories to try to avoid that. The fact is, though, that your body will also store it if it gets too much of something it doesn't need. You can't convert a carb into a protein or a protein into a healthy fat and your body can only use so many of each macronutrient. So you may stay within your calorie limit, but if you routinely get a hefty portion of your calories from one macronutrient group (commonly carbohydrates in N. America!) you're still going to pack on fat even if you're staying in your calories. Worse, you'll lose muscle because your body is going to take protein from SOMEWHERE. The same is true for an imbalance in any direction (though I'm picking on too many starchy carbs because not too many in this culture suffer from an over-abundance of protein...) I've seen people on this site before preaching that calories are calories but it just isn't so. Your body is so much more complex than that and if you think you can just add up numbers and get away with it, you'll be in for a sorry surprise down the line.
Now, for the most part our little group seems to be pretty good about at least TRYING to be balanced about nutrition. But sometimes adding a little fire under our feet can help too


So my husband has gone away for a 3 day mountain biking trip and I'm SO BUMMED because, aside from missing him, I won't be getting a decent run in until Sunday. BOO! I can't tell you how much my body has grown to expect a good run! Nice to see but right now... :sad: Hey, there are worse things to cry about

Alright, off to snuggle my babies before bed! I think I'll do a serious weight workout after they're asleep. Gotta feel the burn!

you beauties!

Rhiannon, I ALWAYS eat the same garbage!! LOL It will stop, this coming week. I'm working on it now, planning and scheming on what I need to be eating. And I LOVE your reminder/advice on food balances. It's true -- most of us don't balance out our foods correctly, and like you said, the body has to store carbs if it gets too many. Great reminder/advice!!!! :flowerforyou:

Tiff, what did this woman look like? What car did she drive? I'll come track her *kitten* down!

AmyPyr, YAY!!!!! Now give your body time to adjust to 3.0 but YAY!!! That is awesome. We have this mental block that things will take so long, but I swear our bodies CRAVE exercise.


I'm not going to post my meals for today (Katy, you are SOOOO GOOD at making sure to do that!!! It encourages me to eat better!!!!). They had a going away breakfast for me at work today so you can imagine the calorie-laden junk I've been eating.

I'll get back on track by Monday, probably sooner. Probably Saturday I'll be back to calorie counting. I have too much stress today and tomorrow. Not normal stress, but knowing it is my last day at my job. Why in the WORLD did they make me work this 60 day notice?

See? It's always an insane flurry of conversation in the first week when we get new people joining and then quickly dies down again to something manageable. Just popping in before calling it a day. I MUST find a way to run tomorrow.
