Hey Veggie Vixens
Great job! Does anybody know whatever happened to JackieRN? I haven't seen
any of her posts for a while? Hmmmm?! Well guys, good job and being on the Veggie Vixens is such a motivator!
Thanks guys
Good job Z.B.B & S.S

yeah there are a couple missing team mates i noticed! :P

So today was a good day. Last week I went to the gym 6 times, and today I still felt excited and motivated to go. At the gym, I ran for 6 km on the treadmill (the farthest I have ever gone before was 5) and at the end, the only reason why I stopped was because all the machines were taken and there was a lady waiting (there is a half hour max on the equipment)...at the end I felt like I could go forever. It was amazing. I lost a pound of sweat in that hour (hot, huh?)
So, tomorrow I am so excited to go. I have a goal of being able to run 10km and weighing 190 by mid may, and right now for the first time I actually feel like that attainable.
I think Ive just discovered that having an honest faith in myself is the best motivator I have ever had. For all the reasons to succeed, not wanting to disappoint myself is the best ever.

WOW ErinMagill!!! that is amazing! Great job!

Great job Erin!!

Good morning dieters! Hope you all are having a great week

i had a cup of my moms mcdougall chili omg soo good!!

tommorrow is my surgery EEEEEEKKKK!!!!!

what happened to everyone? 2 people of my team are MIA.

Erin-that's awesome!!

Haley-Can you post the chili recipe? Also, good luck with your surgery!


We've been having really nice weather lately, so Jill and I went hiking Sunday (I'm guessing it was between 3 and 4 miles) and yesterday I went on a 4 mile hike with my husband. I am loving this weather! Looks like we'll be back into winter by Saturday, though, so I'm going to try to get out a few more times before then.

Have a great day, everyone!!

I don't think it's very spicy so if you like it hot add more of the spicy seasonings

Darby1-Thanks for wishing me luck...I imagine it will be uncomfortable to swallow so maybe it will help my weigh in lol

erinmagill - you're amazing! the words you post really caused me to do some reflection. thanks!

haley - good luck with your surgery! everything will turn out just fine!
