Day 12 _ why do you think you binge? Most of the time it is emotional eating....But sometimes when I am trying to lose weight, I won't eat enough and then, all at once I won't be able to stop myself. I am trying really hard to understand that I have to eat to lose. It's hard to be addicted to a thing like food, because we…

Started to do day 10 of the 30 day shred, got through 10 minutes, but was having pain in my back. So I listened to my body, but still needed to exercise so I got on the elliptical and did 20 minutes! I got a job today and am feeling so so pumped I may just put on some great music and try and do some more!

The hardest thing that I have ever had to do was hold my Mother as she collapsed sobbing when she found out her twin brother and best friend died. He was 52. I had happened to be home for my cousins baby shower, and my Mom and I decided to go out and pick up lunch for my brothers and sisters after the party. We were in the…

I am inspired by my Parents and Grandparents, from whom I have learned so much I am inspired by my Husband, who is the best man I've ever known I am inspired by my Daughter, she has such a beautiful, pure, loving heart I am inspired by…

Day 9 of the 30 day shred! I had (and still am having) a crazy busy day. So I got up extra early and got in workout # 9. Was SOOO tempted to get on the scale and so grateful for this challenge having the no scale rule. I hate when I feel great about how much I'm working and how healthy I am feeling and then not seeing it…

I'm all about finding the sunny side in any given situation....the sunny side of how that picture makes you feel is that it can be a catalyst for you to eat better and move more. Or "more shakin' ....less bacon" : ) I have only been eating mindfully and working out for 8 days and I am already feeling better and looking…

I love that my body looks and feels so much stronger each day that I work at it. I have been working out and eating healthfully for just 8 days and I already feel so much better about myself : ) I may not be where I want to be.....but I am SO THANKFUL that I'm not where I used to be!!!

Are you WISHING for it? or are you WORKING towards it?

I just joined a group where we have all committed to 40 days of a minimum of 20 minutes a day of exercise as well as 40 days with no scale. I hate when I feel like I'm doing great and get on the scale and see something that upsets me. This usually quells my spirit and I feel defeated. So I am so excited to see what happens…

Still can't do photos but....my kids make me smile...I have a 6 year old daughter and a 4 year old son : )

Don't give up! You can do this! When it get's tough, when you feel like quitting, that is the time to grind it out and put one foot in front of the other. I just always tend to give up around week 3. This time I sat down and cut 30 strips of paper and on each one I wrote a different reason that I wanted to be healthier.…

Love this! Thanks so much! My personal favorite inspirational get my butt in gear quote is: Are you wishing for it? Or WORKING TOWARDS IT!

Day 6 of the 30 day shred completed! Wasn't easy...Sunday's are usually "resty, relazy" days, so grateful for this group and for this 40 day challenge! This is going to be the perfect way to welcome spring....new beginnings all around!

Night time is one of my tricky times too....however the worst for me is when I'm alone and upset. My son's 4th birthday party was yesterday and my husband made these really great home-made chocolate cupcakes. I had one at the party, it was so good! Well the point is at night, he had a bowl of ice cream with two cupcakes on…

Thank-you all so much for the support! It has already made a huge difference! Here's to one more day in control! We can do this!
-
Thanks! It felt really really good!

I think the best way to be supportive is to tell her that since you've began on this path to health and wellness you are amazed by how much better you feel physically and emotionally. Tell her that you love her so much and you hate to see her feeling anything but beautiful. Positive reinforcement! Tell her that she does…

I got in another day of the 30 day shred today! I am replacing sore and tired, with energized and strong! Don't give up friends! We can do this....fight for it!
-
My fear food is pretty much anything in my pantry....carbs, carbs, carbs. Crackers, pretzels, chips. Staying strong so far! On a positive note....I have replaced my "fear foods" with almonds and raisins....I can't just remove all temptation...I have to replace with healthier options.
-
I totally understand this! I too am guilty of hitting the snooze as often as I can! On the day's when early morning is my only option...I make it as easy as possible. I set my coffee maker to have coffee ready for me at six, I put all of my workout clothing/shoes on the floor by my bed, so as soon as my feet hit the…

I binge on anything that is readily available. Anything I can get into quickly so I don't get caught.
-
For me binging is when I eat as much as I can eat...almost like a frenzy, and always when I'm alone. I'll get upset if my kids see me doing it. I've watched my husbands car pull out of the garage and make a bee line for the food. It is a compulsion, it feels like I need to eat to make it better. Afterwords the opposing…

Day 4: 30 day shred completed. Have had a very hectic week, still have a lot to do in the next couple of days. Would have been easy to skip the workout today....but I didn't! I fought through the entire time.
-
Great Job! I made it to day 3 too! 30 day shred, day 3......Feeling proud!
-
Day 3 of the 30 day shred completed! Yay!

Maybe you could calculate the extra calories from the luncheon and then the very next time you work out, have that surplus number in your head. When you feel like quitting your workout, remember you've got a calorie debt to pay : )

Ok, so I don't know how to post a pic of myself....looked at the tutorial, I'm sure I could figure it out but I'm pressed for time. I will however share that in my photo....I love my hair and I love how relaxed and at peace I look. My husband was messing around and took a pic of me cozy in bed watching tv. I just look so…
