Hey all,

Wow, it's great to read all the blogs. For myself, I was excited and down during the month of Jan., it's like I couldn't get a good rhythm down. I wasn't losing weight and I got frustrated. Well this week I conquered it. I hit the Y on Mon, Wed, Fri (@ 5:15am)and Sat.(today) and this seems to work for my family and me. I had enough time to pray & get my family off for the day. This week was a great break through. Eating is still challenging when I don't plan, so note to self:
Planning is a top priority!

Update

I have been doing good! I had a protein shake for breakfast and lunch yesterday, and fish for dinner. I worked out at the Y, yesterday, too. Today, no exercise but healthy cereal for breakfast for and a shake for lunch. We will have whole wheat pasta spaghetti for dinner and hit the gym again tomorrow! Are any single women going to the Tye Tribbette concert on Saturday? I know the married women will be with their boos :)

Confession: I have not been actively involved in the challenge. Not on purpose though. When I have a lot going on, it is hard for me to stay focused on me. Typical right? We always put ourselves last. But I have to remember that their survival (my children's) depends on my survival. I am still going to win because I am going to kick in full-force and work double time!

Hello

Hello. I hope all is well with everybody. i have been sick for the past two days. So that means now working out. This is very hard for me. i enjoy working out and I hate when i get in the groove and then i get sick or something happens. But i did not gain any weight so I guess that is the point. But other than that I'm doing good. i can see myself winner. How about you guys. i just have to work on the spirtual part. I struggle with that.

Hi All!



Hi All -before I begin: my government is Tonya Brooks



Its nice to have so many sista working together for a purpose...to get Fit 4 Life!

Here's my MO -working out with wii fit, bootcamp & at Gardiner Rec center.
I hadn't worked out since before the holidays -this left me feeling icky: listless, tired and down. I worked out last night and today I am able to hang with the best of them:)! Just a side note to self; once you begin to work your body, it expects it and will not function right w/o it!

Also, don't forget your vitamins. My last physical my doctor did a full blood workup and recommend the ones I needed to bring my levels up. Not going to tell you which ones, because each one of us are different, so check with your doctor to see what you might need. Will say this, I started feeling a lot better.

Lastly, I am part of SparksPeople.com. If you are an online type of person, you will find great tools & tips.

That's my input for the day!

Eating Out ...Too Much

Happy Monday All. I am emailing to tell on myself. I ate at The Cheesecake Factory, Red Lobster and Famous Daves all within the last 7 days. That is NOT good (I know.) I am going to try to limit myself to eating out once a week ( I knew thi swould be my downfall.) I do have plans to go to Applebee’s Tonight. I will try and order from the Healthy Menu and act like I'm in a competition.
