Hi all! Happy Tuesday!! I had a good day yesterday. I stayed right at my calories for the day and did Jillian's 30 Day Shred Level 2. Even though it got cold here and all I wanted to do was curl up in bed. I plan to hit the elliptical after work or do another video...maybe Bob's BL Boot Camp. Hope everyone has a rockin day!

Hello Ladies! I haven't posted in about a week and I missed ya'll!! :tongue: Here's to another motivating Monday, picking back up after the weekend. :drinker: Way to go vrdz on your 5k this weekend!! And DreeDub for working out 10 days straight! It sounds like everyone is doing good and being conscious of your eating and…

Hey Ladies...just checking in. I've been sweet-free Mon-Wed this week! I saw a Snickers last night and remembered the chocolate truffles in my freezer, but I refrained! Keep up the good work ladies..sounds like everyone is doing well!!

I love your motivation vrdz3215! When I started this whole workout thing before the summer, I hung a bikini on a hanger in my room so I would see it every morning when I woke up and every night before I went to bed. It totally helped! And since my fiance and I have such a hard time in the winter with gaining and eating…

Happy Tuesday! And no, not a mini- Friday for me today. :( Gotta work tomorrow. I'm down with a 100 oz water challenge! I have my 32 oz cup filled up ready to go. I'll report back tomorrow. I did well last night....stayed under my calories and didn't stray on anything bad. I went down to the gym at the apts last night to…

I didn't do so well over the weekend....fell off the wagon with one of my fav desserts. Back on track today though doing well so far. Way to go ladies...you are definitely motivation for me to do better!! Have an awesome sweet-free week. :heart:

Hello everyone! Checking in after my too-short of a weekend. I could have slept late just one more day!! I didn't do too bad this weekend. I went to a party Friday night and impressed myself by just having grilled chicken and a salad. AND I even switched to wine instead of beer. :drinker: I ate really well Sat & Sun with…

I did good yesterday and had no sweets! I was eye-balling the Halloween candy, but I kept walking and had cheerios with skim milk instead. I'm trying to stay good today too but I have a party to go to tonight. I already saw 3 people said they would bring dessert. Yikes!! Hopefully it won't be anything chocolate, will be…

I'm still here!! :tongue: I did good yesterday with eating and took the evening off for a break (got my toes done instead!) I had a couple of cheats this week, but hopefully I made up for them with my workouts. I have a party to go to tonight and I'm hoping to be strong! Hoping to steer clear of the alcohol and the…

I went ahead and bought the Yogi Tea to try it out as a cleanse. I bought the Berry Cleanse and it smelled great, tasted great, then all of a sudden tasted funny & left an odd taste in my mouth. :( I'm so disapointed. I'm going to try it cold to see if it's any better. And I don't think I can handle it every…

Good morning everyone! I've done fairly well this week. A few slip-ups with eating bad, but I worked out Sun-Wed doing various things. I did the Boot Camp Level 2 again last night and it kicked my butt, in a good way of course. I'm hoping to keep it up over the weekend! Wish me luck!!

Just blew it.... Went to WHole Foods to pick up some tea and saw this yummy brownie, cookie thing staring me down. I thought it couldn't be too bad since it was Whole Foods, but boy was I wrong. It was ooey gooey, chocolate, caramel, cookie delight! Scrumptious! Have to pay for it tonight with a kick @ss workout and very…

Thanks to reading this post yesterday, I went down to the gym and got on the elliptical for the first time in months...probably before summer! I forgot how much I loved it and the workout it gives you. My goal is to add it into my current routine and get on it at least once a week. Thank you! :flowerforyou:

Good for you for your damage control! I did the same to make up for my fried-everything lunch. I did the eliptical and some crunches/pushups. I ate grilled chicken and veggie soup and after all that managed to stay under my calories (daily + workout calories earned). My goal is to stick to it the rest of the week and no…

Don't feel too bad....I did the same thing today, only I ate fried chicken fingers and fried okra!! I feel so yuck and mad at myself. Thanks for the advice everyone...I'm going to try the chicken & veggies and work out as hard as I can tonight to make up for it. Seems that it happens to all of us! Don't let it get you down.

So, I had an impromptu lunch today with a coworker and totally blew my diet :noway: I ate 3 chicken fingers dipped in ranch, fried okra, black eyed peas, and a roll. Then I came back and had chocolate truffles to top it off. Now I feel bloated and yuck and so mad at myself. I'm trying to tell myself that if I work out…

Oh, it's soooo gooooood...kind of like a cobbler, I guess. Take 2 cans of cherry pie filling and cover the bottom of a baking pan. Pour a box of yellow cake mix on top of the cherries. Melt two sticks of butter and pour on top of the cake mix. Sprinkle a little crushed pecans and shaved coconut on top. Bake at 350 for 50…

How often do you drink a cup of it? Daily?

Happy Monday Ladies! I didn't do too well over the weekend but didn't do horribly bad. I managed to workout Friday night and Sunday afternoon. Drank some beer Friday night, accompanied by some fried pickles/ranch. Halloween candy Saturday night Cherry Dump Cake Sunday :sad: Hopefully I'll have a better week...:drinker:…

You ladies are cracking me up over here! :laugh: I don't feel as bad knowing some of you indulged in the sweets this weekend too. I'm so mad at myself though. :mad: I had 4 servings of Cherry Dump Cake on Sunday...holy cow...talk about a binge!!! And Saturday night I ate halloween candy...too much to even keep track of. My…

Truffles are soooo good. It's like a soft, sweet, ball of chocolate, so soft it starts to melt in your fingers. I ended up having two this afternoon....just to try them out ya know :wink: I put them in my desk so I can have a piece here and there when I can't resist the chocolate craving.

Forgot to mention.... I helped someone out at work and they treated me to two boxes of Organic Truffles from Whole Foods. :devil: One box is chocolate and one is caramel. Yikes!!!! What a temptataion!!! I looked on the box just to check the nurtrition, thinking it couldn't be too bad if it came from Whole Foods,…

Hello all! Seems like everyone is doing so well so far! I had a good day yesterday. I ate well, without cheating with sweets, and didn't go over my calories. :wink: I had a little extra energy yesterday, so I decided to up my workout. My plan was to do Biggest Loser Boot Camp with Bob....usually I just do Level 1, but I…

Checking in today....I did great yesterday and had no sweets at all! I'm hoping to keep it up throughout the weekend, but we'll see once the Halloween candy arrives. Hope you all have a great day!

I try to have a good snack at work before I leave around 4 or 4:30. This usually holds me over until dinner around 7:30 or 8. Luckily, I'm usually busy right when I get home, working out, helping with homework, straightening up, etc so I don't have a whole lot of time to snack anyway. Another trick I've found with bad…

I had 2 pieces of gingerbread last night, thinking it couldn't be too bad. But it was 260 calories! Yikes! I've learned my lesson and will skip it next time. Better luck today!

Hello everyone...checking in. I didn't have too bad of a day yesterday, but it could have been better. :ohwell: I ate well all day and even for dinner, but talked myself into eating two pieces of gingerbread as my dessert. Didn't realize they were going to add up to 260 calories...yikes! And so not worth it. I didn't get a…

No sweets at all yesterday...a great start to the week. Keep it up everyone!

Is it too late to join in? I think it would be helpful for me to have to check in with a group daily...it will help with my motivation.
