To join in for some super amazing support, head on over to Amber's to link up!!! She is adorable, and so sweet, what a great way to help each other out, thanks Amber!!!

What kind of week have I had?

Well....I'd like to say I was perfect, that I exercised every day, that I ate the best ever, but.....ya know...that isn't quite true. I've not been feeling very well, and had company, and yep I slacked....again! But....I DID NOT gain!!! So I am grateful for that!

This weeks question:

"We're all here at EM:ME because we're unhappy with our bodies, or our health; there are things that we are trying to change.

But today you must share one thing with everybody that you absolutely love about yourself"

Holy Smokes...are ya kidding me?!?! I am absolutely one of the most critical "on myself" people in the world. With that said...I have thought about this.....and I know that a positive attitude is sooo healthy! So first off....my biggest goal for next week is to be positive(to myself, and for me). And second, something I love about me is........

my smile...

I feel like a smile can go so far, whether in a store passing a mother who is going crazy with her kids, to a grumpy man. " I like to smile...smilings my favorite"( the movie..Elf) it's hard to be grumpy if you are always tryin' to smile! So there you have it, I don't like to talk about myself, so I am done now! But thanks ladies for making us have to find something we "love" about ourselves!

Have a wonderful day!!!!

p.s. it's gorgeous outside, and the birds are singing! I love today!!!

Today's Question....

Share some of the music that you work out to. What helps you rock it!? What gets your blood pumpin?

Well, this is a hard one...actually anything with a fun, and fast beat! I was a drill team and a cheer coach for a few years and I love the music we used. If you can do a cheer comp routine to it, it definitely has a great beat! I can't think of anything specific except NKOTB...sorry folks I listen to them all the time!:) It's Xazmin's fault!!!! IF by some miracle my knees and feet can handle the elliptical, I watch t.v. (too many years of dancing and cheering ruined them both!) Maybe I am just old!

NOW....I am down a pound and a half....not too shabby!! Which is amazing because I am STARVING!!!! Not because I'm not eating well, or getting a good amount of calories...it's just one time a month I seem to be more ravenous than others......

My fridge seems to pull me in too! Shoot I don't have metal fillings though! BUT...the yummy,and healthy fruit will soon be coming in season, and I love me some cantaloupe!!!! I cut it all up into chunks, and put in the fridge. If I get a craving and it's not cut already...chances are....I won't take the time to cut it...and I'll eat ice cream instead.:-)

Last week...

*didn't exercise like I had hoped

*ate pretty good

*drank lots of water

*Crunches(not the chocolate ones) daily

*water galore

Extreme Makeover-Me Edition!!!

If you are looking for some gettin' healthy and feelin' good support...head on over to Amber's for Extreme Makeover Me Edition!

It has been a pretty good week!!! I am actually down a couple more pounds which is AWESOME!!!! I just need to take more "me" time to exercise! It drives me crazy when my hubby comes and watches T.V. with me at night after the kiddos have gone to bed... with his HUGE symphony bar!! What's up with that? Or brings in the EXTRA large Costco bag of peanut M&M's. But that's o.k.!!! If I am craving something like that...I just eat it! Just kiddin'. Seriously popcorn gets me through!!!

This week's question: What are some methods you use to stave off temptation and/or keep from overeating??

Like I mentioned last week if I have a meal plan for the day including snacks. That is very helpful. I am a list person(obsessive list person) so I stick to my lists.-usually- Also water, water, and more water!!! I LOVE milk, but if I avoid it with my dinner, and drink lots of water I don't overeat. It is hard!! But I am enjoying all this support!!!!

Have a great day!
