Got great workouts in today. Elliptical, weights and sit-ups today. I ate well within my calories today even though hubby is on leave this week! That's hard for me to do, since my hubby isn't eating like me, so I'm glad I was able to stay on track. The bikini I want is still on back-order:grumble: I thought I would post…

Yes it is true.=/ My hubby is military, and when he isn't home I eat better and exercise much more. It becomes much more difficult to maintain when he's around. I have done it though, it just takes alot more dedication and effort. =[ I'm sure you will do great though, since you already are living healthy and are aware of…

Yeah, I'm going to do it every other day. I used to do sit-ups every day and couldn't figure out why my waist seemed to be getting bigger. I was then told that I was actually breaking down any muscles in that area and actually creating more fat in a sense. I did it every other day and saw better results. Thanks for the…

Nope that was a typo.:laugh: It's two hundred a day. =] Also, good job everyone on a bright and early start! :flowerforyou: BL last night was just a great reminder of what "cheat" days can do to you, even though the Black Team when way overboard. Great way to stay motivated by that.

Workouts complete with weight lifting. I also want to start the two sit-ups a day thing. =] Great job everyone :bigsmile:

I'm in =] This sounds like a cool challenge. I have no idea how many I can do so this will be a great test!

I somehow managed to get two rounds of elliptical in today.:noway: Another busy day....I had hw to focus on as well. The weather is sooo pretty here though, so it's hard to stay indoors. The hubby's family is in WY and it was -14 there today. Brrr! I'm so excited for BL tonight!!! Does anyone have a fav team they are…

I love fashion, so I would def love a thread on this topic!:heart:

Mya- all I can say is ":flowerforyou: " I'm ready for a new day of working out. Yesterday was really hectic, but I managed to get my workouts in. Hopefully today is much better. bbl!

I've used this for about a year. LOVE, LOVE it!

If you have to use sugar, honey or any type of unrefined sugar would be best. Most things have some sort of sugar/sweetener source in it...even fruit has a source of "organic" sugar. I have some extra tummy fat, and I want to tone my tummy, so I have to lose that. I just don't want man arms and legs. :tongue: I think you…

Oooh, this sounds so yummy! I assume you can't taste the spinach? =] Thanks for the recipe. Slow start today, super busy, but I'm going to start my workout now. =]

I found some soba noodles here, but they were really high in calories. I thought someone had said they were safe to eat on a diet? I think the calorie content was high.

Yes, honey is good, so is turbinado sugar because they're unrefined, unprocessed sugars. When I use sugar it's all that I use. The calorie count might be higher, but they're a different type of calories, and better for you. ( That's my theory anyways =])

Good morning all =] It's sunny here again! yaay I didn't realize some of the ladies here wanted to get more toned. My arms and legs tend to tone too fast, and I think I look manly.:grumble: I'm small, so it just looks weird on my frame. I'm trying not to get as toned, and just drop some weight this time. I think all of you…

oh my wth happened here? :tongue: Welcome everyone :flowerforyou: I've only had one round with the elliptical today thus far, my hubby and I went out on a date. :heart: Anyways, I still have plenty of time tonight to finish my workout. =]

I forgive you, although there's nothing to forgive really. EVERYONE falls off the wagon whether they'll admit it or not. This is a LIFE change so you're allowed to eat a not so great every so often. Your wedding dress will motivate you to get back on track anyways. :smile: You inspire me as well, I think you overall do a…

Mya- Girl, I totallt understand what you mean It had to go through many frogs to get to my prince. :heart: I'm huge on honesty, and keeping promises too though. That's not even alot to ask for. =] Hang in there, I'm sure it's great motivation for working out too. :flowerforyou: I hope you feel better. Breakfast: is going…

Way to go Georg! :flowerforyou: It's def ok to brag about that. :tongue: I completed my 3 rounds on the elliptical machine, took a long walk with my hubby and our dogs, and I'm about to lift some weights after I post. =] My casserole had zucchini, black beans, corn, reduced fat cheese, corn tortillas, diced tomatoes and…

The chicken dish sounds yummy to me. :smile:

Everyone feel better soon :heart: I had my usual for breakfast today and then my hubby and I went out to lunch at a really cool bar and grill downtown. This place has both Low Calorie meals and Low Carb meals, so I was very impressed, I ended up getting a Turkey Breast sandwich on wheat bread with a side of salad. It was…

Thanks for the recipe. I'm def going to bookmark this recipe for the future! :flowerforyou:

There is no simple way to fix it I don't think. Herbal supplements ( like herbal teas seemed to help me),especially if I'm craving something sweet. If I'm not having super bad cramps, I might munch on little things more ( like nuts, oatmeal, etc) but then I force myself to exercise harder. Hope that helps. =]

4 rounds of elliptical today! :bigsmile: I also did some weight lifting at home tonight. The dinner casserole was soooo yummy! =] It was a veggie casserole, but it tasted better than most chicken casseroles I've prepared. Great job today everyone. M, I'm glad to see you back in full force! :flowerforyou: Georg- That was…

Two Rounds with the elliptical down. Two more to go:noway: My body is starting to get tired, but I have to do this. I want this. Thanks Mya for setting the extra 15 minute challenge today! :flowerforyou: Menu I had Shiratake noodle soup for lunch. Just, noodles, shredded chicken and sweet corn with Mrs. Dash. Calories: 203…

I think I'm going to try this soon. Thanks for the post. =]

:laugh: It's my way of staying busy.

Good job everyone:bigsmile: Mya- All I can say is Wow! That is dedication right there. I know it may not seem like it to you, but that is amazing. I am very encouraged by that post about your workout. Thanks :smile: And I'm with you for the 15 minutes extra during today's workout. M- Atleast you did work out yesterday,…

I'm on Nuva ring, and I never gained weight from that. I had to take other medication ( to regulate another illness) and that made me gain weight. I would recommend Nuva Ring if the hormone levels work for your body. =]
