Aww FF what a good name for today !Super Divas Tuesday !

We have

Bainstorm Ladies !!!!!

Well I lost 2lbs. I was really expecting more but I am sure it has something to do with not taking the laxative yet, also my increased workouts which seem to be adding muscle, I am definitely losing inches my pants are big , I mite possibly need to lay off the ribs(red meat right?) So I will increase my water and decrease my diet pop intake , I probably need to eat more as well. The good thing about the scale is that I guess you can gauge what you are doing and see what works and what really doesnt.

Im still looking for a place. GRRR sickening but My Godsons Godfather is moving so I am going to look at the place in hopes that its decent and he can simply transfer the lease to me. Sounds so easy but I am sure there will be some drama, this whole grown up thing is wack!!! Bills responsiblity !!!!!
then the BF thinks in order to save money we should move in together, granted NYC is expensive but I come from a very strict religious family where you cant "shack up" live together before marriage, I know if my parents come visit me he cant be there with me, I mean they love him like thier own son we have been together 8 years ...but I dunno we do have plans to get married in the future but if we move in now, what is there to look forward to when we get married, ya know. I could even see if we were engaged living together to save for a wedding ....but I dunno. I just dont want him too get comfortable ya know Ladies. Whew thanks for letting me ramble, I appreciate it !


Menu
WO: ellip/treadmil weights( 30 min)
B: Omlette (the whole thing)
WO: Cardio Kick Boxing (45min)
L: tuna/egg salad/ some greens
D: shrimp, ribs maybe I dunno


WE CAN DO IT

Keep it up !!!!

WORKOUT WEDNESDAY!

[jacee]

Hey everybody! I haven't posted since last month and I come back and see everyone's is moving right along so well. Hello to all the ones who have joined since I've been gone. I've been up and down the same 3 or 4 lbs. for the past few weeks, now I'm trying to get serious and get this moving again so I'm back -- again. I've come too far to just stop so I'm hoping to find my motivation.

I've been strict with my eating for the past 5 days and today I'm going to start walking every evening. I'm going to be brave and say I commit myself to a goal of AT LEAST 15 pounds lost in May. You ladies can be my inspiration, okay?
Congrats to all of you who are doing so great!!

Hope everyone had a great day... Sending good vibes Magick ... I had a great day today, eating was great .. Two days for the week cheat free... Have a great evening ladies...

[fancyface]

Hello Everyone!

TOM finally came and I am hoping that will signal a whoosh in a week or so. Still been craving stuff too... Hang tough Magickal. I feel your pain. I did have a sugar free turtle today... Not gonna beat myself up though.. it was delicious and I am hoping it will satisfy the craving monster.

Welcome back Heather. Glad you're back!

Still waiting a few more days before I get back on the scale. Trying to get plenty of water in. Did get a short walk in today -- but no other exercise. Got to do better with that tomorrow.... just a rough tom day. Sorry if tmi, but tom has been pretty severe on this woe. I read somewhere on these boards that as fat cells are broken down and released, stored estrogen is too and can make tom worse. Does that make sense?

Love this thread. Thanks for all of the support and information you guys always share.

[fancyface]

Wow Magickal. 5lbs down for May already! That is great!

Congrats to everyone posting losses! This is going to be the best month yet. We have 31 days to make something positive happen in our lives.

Let's do it!

[cara34]

I think Magic is trying to show us all up, girls!! Just kidding! I'm extremely proud of you, and just a wee bit jealous, but in a good way!!

Good day today - I watched a video about artificial sweetner that will scare your socks off - it's on another thread on the board called Sweet Misery! Definitely affirmed my feeling that I need to lay off the diet cokes!

I need to go to bed! Feeling like I'm getting Pink Eye - that's all I need!! Wonder I haven't gotten it yet w/ both my kids having it!

Good night ladies - let's finish out this work week strong!!

:kicking :

Hey I am super sore from Cardiop kick boxing yesterday before lunch

got on the scale again today see this is why I stay away from it, it says I am up 1lb there must be some problem I dont know is it becuase I havent taken a lax? not drinking enough water or is it the muscle thing or am I just not eating enough ? OK i will be honest i was a lil down this morning, but I am going to go back and see what I was eating when I lost the most, It maybe the ribs I have been eatin? just GRRRRR Ok got that out I am not losing site of the goal !!! 30lbs. in MAY I have to do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

L: greens and tuna
D: rotis. chicken and steamed broc.
S: SF Jello

5 Liters of water - goal for today

[SUNSHINELADY]

Slim,

Perhaps two more snacks in between breakfast and dinner? Just a few veggies to keep you a burning? Otherwise, your menus look great to me. Our bodies go through changes...remember...down 3 lbs, up 3 lbs, down 4 lbs etc. I hate the scale too. I will weigh on the 10th, 20th and May 31st. I too am pumped up to get 15 lbs off this month.

Today is Workout Wed. I plan to go for a walk tonight, stretch and get some leg strengthening exercises in and get a lot done around the house. I'm in the middle of spring cleaning. It's hard when my husband works too many hours to help, and I work full time, but I have a great dent in it.

Today's menu:
Breakfast: 4 sausage links, 1 fried egg
Snack: shaved turkey
Lunch: leftover chicken breast on salad
Snack: rest of shaved turkey...finally gone
Dinner: pork chop, california blend veggies
Snack if needed: fried cheese

Doing better on my water. But not as good as most of you.

HAVE A NICE DAY!
Cindy

Workout Wednesday!!

Whoo hoo!!

I did week2 of my personal running trainer. I also met with the Y director and she set me up on weights for 2 days a week. I didn't finish my complete walk because I had to meet with her so I have 25 minutes to go. I have the night off (I am a stay at home mom with 5 kids and a husband), so I'll go back to the Y to finish my walk.

I've got half my water in already. AND I'm getting my hubby on this WOE... Yea!
