kayleystar, thank you so much for that website, it is awesome! my fruit/veggie needs were way different than I had thought it was really helpful

Can somebody take care of tomorrow and Sunday's challenge - things are wound up.

Have a great weekend!

Exercise for me...that seems to be one of my core issues.

Don't forget everyone, Sundays are "take a moment or some time for yourself" or "do something nice for yourself"...

Going to do my Taebo today... woo ..of course I have a TON of food prep to do today...UGH! lol

hi ladies Im here.
Lets see thursday I looked into the alley by my house and thought wow its raining hard. THe water was just running down the alley like a river...then I realised it wasnt raining hard at all. We had a break in the water line and my basement is flooded. THe guys couldnt find the shutoff to the mainline in the alley so they had to let it continue to run till they got it fixed. Needless to say I had standing water in my basement.GRR
Then as a few of you know we got a new roof a few months back. Well I went into my living room and water was running down my wall. I called the roofer and he came over and thinks it was from my bay window roof.
He thinks he has it fixed. Guess we will have to wait till another hard rain to find out for sure.
I ate horrible on thursday. I wont be able to go down to lift weights for a few more days. THe carpet is still soaking wet. I have fans and a dehumidifier going.
Just wanted to check in today...IM going to do something nice for myself today...going to get my eyes checked.I know I need glasses.

I got my workout in, I can barely keep up with it, and did well throughout the day then I was so tired and blah blah I overate at night and not the best foods. I feel like I've gained weight, maybe a pound or two, but it is hard for me to tell as I'm all sore and bloated and depending too much on cooked foods. So, I'm today focusing on other things, banning myself from the scale. Getting a bit to fussy. I'm going to push myself all week, so the scale is going to bug the HECK out of me lol. I think it is going to be high until it levels off. Pretty much I want to be like not bloated all day haha.

I struggle, I am not like one of those people who lose like a gazillion pounds in a year lol...I'm one of those people who loses a bit, possibly gain back some, lose that, then continue slowly or in spurts. lol. Yeah so NO more scale weighing for me for awhile. Too much, that is ONE thing I can do for myself today! Totally positive. Going to focus on other things.

Im here I did get my veggies and fruits in yesterday. I also got alot of walking in.
I did eat a few things I shouldnt have but my calories were still in my range.
Im going to church today..that is something that I do nice for myself. My week just isnt right without it!
After church its laundry time and I may even try to work on painting my daughters room.
So what is tommorows challenge?

Let's go forward this week with the following challenges:

Sunday - something nice for ME
Monday - kick it up a notch
Tuesday - weigh, measure and record every bite
Wednesday - try something new - either food wise like a recipe, exercise based or some different behavior (example - put your fork down between each bite)
Thursday - get all fruits/veggies/water in!
Friday - report on an NSV or get "back to basics" with the health side of this - it's always good to make a list of all the things you can do now that you couldn't before as well as a list of things you look forward to doing
Saturday - call your own challenge - whatever is difficult for you (Saturday my personal challenge will be no eating out)

Can't wait to hear how everyone does this week!

OK - possibly not the best choice - but my ME thing today was to take the day off from exercise. I was beat after last nights festivities - BTW my nieces wedding was beautiful - a perfect midwest day for an outdoor ceremony. A deer watched the whole thing from the meadow. Back to basics for me!

On to tomorrow where I will "kick it up a notch" - thanks Kayley.

Well it was a good good day for me. I had some craving issues, I always do when I feel like I'm eating too many carbs and opt for the raw foods, and I ended up having some oatmeal tonight to just satisfy me. It worked lol. I didn't overeat, I was really light all day. Made an incredible salad today, woo!

The thing I did for myself today was get those raw foods into my tummy! From a green smoothie to a cool salad, yay!

I also took a day off from exercise, I'm super sore from the Taebo thing...I'm gonna do it tomorrow though. Going to try to get all the way through it!

I took the day off from exercise as well. I am having trouble adjusting to having to wear glasses. I even had to get bifocals. I am dizzy and light headed with a constant headache. The dr said it should be better in a few days. I also took a long afternoon nap. My youngest even cooked dinner tonight and cleaned it all up.I felt very spoiled!

Hey girls,

Sat. tried another new recipe, Horseradish hamburgers with thick cut spicy chili oven fries. Both recipes were outstanding. Hey I love spicy, what can I say.

Yesterday, my me mine, was just enjoying my family, all of them.

As for today, I kicked it up a notch my boosting my productivity.

Have a great evening ladies.

Ags - I wanna hear about those horseradish burgers - that may be my something new this week! Great job.
