Bikini Babes

awesome job Lisa........KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Thank you!!!

I just have to tell you guys about this.. not too big of a deal, but it is relevant... So, I've been reading all about the pizza thing, and I was realllllly craving some, especially since it's almost my TOM. Well, we went to eat at a pizza buffet, and it put me 650 calories over!:noway: BUT, I got myself back home and worked out for 80 minutes, and burned those off plus some, along with my regular workout today. All together I've burned about 1200 calories today!! (It took me about 2 1/2 hours...) I know it was bad eating that much over to begin with, but I feel very accomplished that I went back even though I'm tired and burned them off. So now I have a whopping 16 calories left. lol

I've also had well over 120 oz of water today, and I ate a pretty good breakfast this morning.:happy:

Thats great! I think its ok to overindulge here and there, I mean its going to happen! but the great thing is now you know to work it off to make yourself feel good. Thats why diets dont work, you always end up eating something you shouldnt and then its all over! Thats why i love entering my food everyday on MFP! It lets you know where you are on your daily intake.

Hi everyone!
I tried to post in earlier today - but looks like it didn't take. I saw someone was asking about the JM 30 day shred... I'm on day 7 (consecutively) of level 2 and am noticing that I'm getting more toned and firm. Before I started the shred, I was running on non-consecutive days and that was the extent of my exercise. Since starting the DVD, I've kicked it up a notch - doing the shred daily, and alternating running days with walking the dog days. It's made a difference, I'm pretty sure.

If you're still curious - check out a couple of threads on here about it.. you may end up enticed!

I failed with the breakfast thing again today - (unless you consider a cup of coffee breakfast)? I had a fruit smoothie after I did my shred / walk.. by that time, it was 11:00 already. So, my goal for tomorrow - is BREAKFAST. Doing good on the water though.

Lisa that is so awesome!! I was so not in the mood to work out tonight, but you totally just motivated me to get my butt to the gym.

Burning over 1200 calories! :drinker: That is so amazing.

Thanks! I'm glad doing that helped someone else out! My legs are sore from jumping on that mini tampoline so much last night though. lol.


Hailey: Yeah, that's what I think about my before photos. I can't wait to see the after!!

I have been taking before pictures in my sports bra and exercise shorts about every 10 lbs (so I have two sets of pictures now, and will be taking more when I get down to 170/169). Hopefully summer will bring a bikini shot though. :laugh:

I've been drinking my water since I started getting serious with MFP about 12 weeks ago. Still, it is good to be reminded. I always get close to my water goal, but sometimes I'm still a glass short.

I always, always eat breakfast. I have issues with low blood sugar. I carry hard candy and protein bars in my purse because I HAVE to eat every few hours. (Although, now that I'm running, I've noticed the blood sugar doesn't drop so dramatically - which is encouraging). So, breakfast challenge is no problem for me. I'm a very cranky girl if I don't have something decent.

Something new I've started: For quick breakfasts - i make several varieties of the South Beach Veggie Quiche cups and freeze them. I also make healthy, whole wheat muffins with fruit and freeze them. So, I just defrost a few in the fridge over night. Portable, delicious, healthy and a nice change from my usual bowl of cereal.:drinker:

I've been having my cereal everyday this week so far,
same old special k though lol,its the only thing I have time to make
in the morning before I rush off to university,
that's why I like weekends,my oatmeal days

Look at you!!!! That is what I call DETERMINATION! :drinker:

BTW: Thanks for the breakfast challenge... I am AWFUL with breakfast, but I know its SO important. I have down well the past two days... and I'm also being more mindful of my water and getting well over the 64 oz... :flowerforyou:
