I love that I have a big heart...sometimes too big! :)

Happy Monday! My mini challenge for the week will be to up my workouts a little more. I'm on level 2 of 30DS and have been doing that every day, but ever since I started 30DS I have not been walking as much. So, this week my goal is to walk 10 miles on top of my 30DS.

I love that I'm a dork! It's fun and I love being able to laugh at myself!

Thank you!! :)

Last week wasn't so bad! I did great on my work outs. There was still a few days where I had "too few calories" according to MFP. I really need to work on that so my metabolism does not slow down. I was really worried about last week because of the concert on Friday but I did great staying within my calories. It was a…

I weighed on Friday Wk 3: -1 lb. Total loss so far since starting Halloween challenge: -5.5 lbs. 13.5 more to go before Halloween!

I'm posting this a little late! :) I have two quotes I want to share this week. They both really get me through when I am getting discouraged. "It's not about perfect. It's about effort. And when you bring that effort every single day, that's where transformation happens. That's how change occurs." -Jillian Michaels "You…

Friday!!! Yay!!! Okay, so here is my joke for the week: While proudly showing off his new apartment to friends late one night, the drunk led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong. "What's that big brass gong for?" one of the guests asked. "Why, that's the talking clock" the man replied. "How does it…

I'm loving your positive, upbeat attitude!! That alone makes me smile!! My reason for smiling today is the fact that I am going to be able to wear my old jeans that I haven't been able to wear in a few years this Saturday to the concert!!! They are two sizes smaller than the ones I've been wearing...and I can pull them up…

I love the song Hard by Rihanna! :) My three shares this week are: Ciara ft. Missy Elliott - One, Two Step Fort Minor - Remember The Name Lil Jon ft. Pit Bull - Work It Out

You all are right! I will just let loose and have fun. It's only one day. I do love the sharing idea! My husband will be there so that will work perfect! I'm going to enjoy my day there, but just not over do it. I will stick with small portion sizes of anything bad I have! Thanks for all the tips and support guys!

I'm going to have to give the Banana Pancakes a try! They sound great! I am a pizza fanatic, so I am going to share a recipe for a skinny pizza: 1 Wheat Tortilla 3 Tbsp Pizza Sauce 1/3 cup Fat Free Mozzarella Cheese toppings of your choice - turkey pepperoni, mushrooms, turkey sausage, peppers, onions, etc. Preheat your…

Those are some great tips! Thanks!!

I love this idea!! Wk 1: (-1) Wk 2: (-3.5) <<<I started 30DS the beginning of wk 2 and it this is what happened. A lot of hard work and pain but well worth it!!

Happy Labor Day! :) My mini-challenge for the week is to be extra good on my workouts and eating right. I have a huge all day concert to go to this coming Saturday and I highly doubt there will be any healthy foods served there. I will be using that day as a cheat day so I have to be on my best behavior all week!! I hope…

These 3 always motivate me! Now matter how hard it gets, or how bad it hurts, you have to keep pushing! You have to believe in youself! :) Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever. - Lance Armstrong Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles. - Alex Karras It's the lack of faith that makes people afraid of…

I felt the same way my first day!! I am on Level 1 Day 6. Keep pushing! Don't give up! It gets easier and I am already getting results from it! Good luck! :)

I'm a little late on posting this..... My reason to smile is that I just met my first mini-goal! I had a goal to have 15 pounds lost before September 8th because I am going to a concert that day! Well, I just weighed in and I have lost 15.5 pounds and the concert is still 8 days away!!! And.....I can now fit into an old…

Here are 3 more off my playlist: Ciara ft Missy Elliott - Work Papa Roach - Last Resort Kat Deluna ft Elephant Man - Whine Up

I'm going to have to give that Ranch Dressing a try!! I love ranch but don't eat it near as much now because of the Calories!! Thanks for sharing that! Here is a recipe for a yummy breakfast wrap 1 Flatout Light Flatbread 1 Tbsp reduced fat peanut butter 1 Tbsp sugar-free Jam 2 strawberries, hulled and sliced 1/4 banana,…

I usually get pretty good sleep as of lately. I've been getting right around 8 hours a night. I think my mini-goal for the week will be to make sure I am getting enough nutrition. There have been a few days the past week where my calories were way too low. I find it hard to find time to eat at work so that's what's hurting…

Overall I felt this week went pretty well. A few things I noticed, however, is that there were a couple of days where I ate too few calories. I was very busy those two days and I did not have a lot of time to sit down and eat, so I lacked a lot of nutrition. I definitely want to make sure I watch out for that because I do…

"Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things." -Frank G. Clark I think this one fits great with this group. We are trying to accomplish a mini-goal. I think it is a lot easier when you focus on the small goals, and before you know it, you've reached your main goal!!

HaHa I love your joke! Corny jokes crack me up!!! Here is one of my favorite corny jokes: What did the dentist of the year get?? A little plaque!!!! :) Also, Friday's are my weigh in days. As of today, I have lost another pound! Down 12....18 more before Halloween and 51 more to reach my GW. Happy Friday everyone! Hope you…

The thing that is making me smile today is my hubby! He is such an amazing person and he makes me smile more than anything! He isn't into fitness or anything, but he has been such a big help with my goals. He pushes me when I ask to be pushed and is sensitive when I feel discouraged. I don't think I could make it through…

I mostly listen to rock music, but when it comes to working out, I listen to anything that motivates me. One of my favorites is Poker Face by Lady Gaga. I don't know what it is about that song but it really gets me going!!! :) Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY-vXcmpZIw

My recipe share will be my lighter version of Pizza Burgers: 1 lb extra lean ground beef 1 jar ragu homestyle pizza sauce Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Fat Free) Whole Wheat English Muffins Brown the beef and then drain any grease (with the extra lean there usually isn't any but I still like to pat it down with paper…

Happy Monday!! Water is something I am already doing quite well, so I think my weekly challenge will be to work in more fruits and veggies! I have been doing okay with them, but not getting nearly enough, so that will be my goal for this week!

Hey, I'm Amanda! I've lost 11 pounds so far and my goal is to be down 19 more pounds by Halloween. My CW is 172. I haven't decided on a costume yet, but I'm super excited about this mini challenge!! :)

I'm in! I love mini-goals! It's a lot more motivating than just looking at the big picture! I already have two mini goals (be down 15 pounds by Sept. 8 for a big concert I'm going to; and also be down 35 by new years). I am currently at 11 down now, so I will definitely do this with you! Bring on the challenge!!! :) CW:…
