Hey ladies! I hope you didn't all forget about me! I'm trying to get back in the swing of things though! Life has been wicked crazy lately, so I've been very preoccupied! I haven't been able to work out much (maybe 2-3 times a week) but I've been watching what I'm eating and I haven't gone off the wagon too much :) I'm…

Kc - Pshhh, Red Sox all the way baby!! Even though they're losing horribly this year I still love them <3 Plus it was my first actual Red Sox game ever! I've been to the farm league many times (I work near the stadium) but never full MLB!!

Hello hello! Alright, I'm going to try to get to everyone! Ashley - 6 week 6 pack has always interested me, I can't wait to hear how you like it! Adding in the running a few days will definitely be good too, any workout that makes you happy is worth it! What is a Pure Barre class?? the barre part reminds me of ballet which…

Hey lovely ladies! I've been very MIA lately, I'm sorry! I had a vacation last weekend and got back to work and am deep into a project that needs to be done ASAP! I haven't gotten the chance to look over the whole thread, but by a quick glance you guys all seem like you're doing well! I promise I'll catch up soon though!…

Oops, forgot it was a new 2 week challenge... 1. Concentrate on keeping control of my eating/drinking on weekends 2. Work out at least 4 days 3. No night snacks Sun-Thurs (will try for full week, but I'm trying to be reasonable)

Hey everyone! I'm back!! Sorry for being so MIA, I just got back from a week long vacation in Michigan and boy do I need to get back on track. I jumped on the scale one night (bad in the first place, I know) and I am up 20 lbs from November... wtf?! absolutely unacceptable! I need to figure out what I've changed and what…

Honestly, don't worry about it!! I studied there for a semester and fashion was pretty similar! Just pack what you would for a vacation around here. Short, jeans, dresses, etc.. Everyone I met was really nice and if you at least tried to speak some Italian (and don't yell at them like they're deaf, they just speak another…

kc - I love your attitude! Don't let the number on the scale get you down. Your plan sounds great, just make sure you give yourself a rest day! You will do awesome :) Chloe - Congrats on the future pregnancy! I'm sure you will work out a bunch and get back to your prepreg weight just as fast as Ashley :) Beeps - I'm glad…

Welcome Sasx & Gingervegs :) I'll try to read through the article today while I'm working :) My legs are still so sore today!! I have a feeling tonight's CF will be a bit difficult because of it! Tonight we'll be going over what they call the "over head series" so that means: press, push press & push jerk. Sounds like more…

Hello hello! Beeps - congrats on your inches lost!! That is fantastic!! May was definitely good to you!! I agree though, I want to see a gala pic :) Mama - I'm glad you're enjoying the IF!! Have you noticed any changes in your body yet? I'm also glad that you're feeling so great! I think that's the most important thing…

I just learned how to do burpees yesterday!! I am TOATALLY not a fan of them, haha.. The way they taught them at CF was that you go right down to your chest on the ground and then all the way back up with a jump at the end

Beeps - Congrats with almost being done with Phase 5!! That's a great accomplishment to stick with the whole program :) Same question as Amy too, what formula for TDEE do you use?? I'm going to see if the CF guys can do an accurate measure of my bf% because I feel like the online calculators are a bit off. I want to find…

bump! Worth a shot!

Ashley - Don't apologize, I'm so happy for you for losing!! You're doing great and don't let our frustrations keep you from being exciting about your progress!! Beeps - If you want the soda, have it! We need to stop feeling guilty for each little "treat" we give ourselves!! You're doing great with the challenge though,…

Hey all! Everyone seems to be doing really well! I don't have time to write a long post, but I hope everyone is feeling good! Beeps - I hope you feel better, I'm sorry you're going through a tough time :( We all get those feelings, the difference is how we push through them and I know you will get the body you want even if…

my favorite stuffed shells are spinach & broccoli ones :) I use a pkg of frozen chopped spinach and frozen chopped broccoli, a container of ricotta cheese, 1 egg, mozzarella cheese, and any seasonings you want ( I usually go for lots of garlic, italian seasonings, more basil & red pepper flakes) then I fill up the shells…

Ah! I just signed up for something that is going to REALLY challenge me!! I signed up for 10 classes of Crossfit!!! There was a Groupon for 10 CF classes for only $25 when it is normally $205!! The first 6 classes is a intro to it pretty much and they teach you how to do everything and it starts next monday! I will be…

I"m back! I love all the challenges!! I'm totally in!! Now that my bf is all graduated I can finally concentrate and be better on the weekends, especially being closer to the gym! Okay.. my goals will be: I WILL: 1. Exercise at least 4x per week 2. Eat healthy foods for snacks (i.e. Fruit, veggies, nuts) with proper…

bumping the new thread :)

Hey ladies! I hope all of you beautiful mothers out there had a great Mother's Day yesterday :) Solar - Yes, I am in sewing :) I work for a toy company though, so it isn't too competitive for me, it is a lot of fun though! I can't wait til I have kids so I can actually use my discount! Also, I love your tattoo, it's…

Hey lovely ladies! Work has been so busy I feel as if I've been neglecting you :( I'm sorry!! Beeps- I'm sorry your daughter isn't doing well :( That stinks that the doctor can't give her anything either! I really hope she feels better soon <3 Also, your plan sounds good. I think it is a reasonable amount of weight to lose…

I can't catch up with everyone yet, I've been in a rush to finish my projects all week!! The blazer is finished!!! I'll post a picture after I get it pressed :) This weekend I will hopefully start & FINISH the bathing suit so I can be done with that class!! I only got to get in one jazz class and one lifting session so far…

Beeps - I'm sorry about your daughter having insomnia!! My friend has it and she hates it! She had to take any and all electronics out of her room (no tv, no computer, no phone) and that has helped her a little bit because her body has started to realize that her room is just for sleeping (which is hard with kids because…

Hi all! Amy - I'm sorry about the dog :( At least you tried your best <3 And I don't think you look 36 at all either! 114 is pretty good too with upping your calories and stuff, are you noticing a change in measurements at all?? Chloe - I'm glad your weekend went pretty well! Drink up! (with water!!) Ashley - Welcome…

Personally I would go for the sweet potato & goat cheese dish :) But that's only because I don't eat any of the others!! But I agree, eat whatever you'd like!!! They all look good :)

Beeps - Congrats on the 100lbs for lat pull down!!! That is amazing!!!! Amy - I LOVE the graph... it is beyond true! But that's how we should think! Celebrate the losses and brush off the gains knowing we'll lose it again :) Mama - remember that doing all of the reno on your living room is a bit of a work out too!! That…

I'm just starting off!! I would love to find more natural protein sources too, but not easy!

C3nterstage- Just pick yourself back up from the calamari and try again! It was one slip up and we all make them, remember that we will never be perfect. Next time you go out to eat just try to remember! Chloe - Same to you! I'm glad you got to chat with your stepmom with wine, maybe next time just go for one glass and…
