Happy New Year HLC

Well its the last day of 2010...I met my goals. It was my free day and gag too much sugar and carbs. I'm looking forward to meeting next week...we are going to rock 2011!

Well the year is coming to a close

Hello Friends! I am excited to say I met my goals today. (that rhymed) Anyway all is well in my life and with my goals. I am excited for a new year and new things. Hope everyone is enjoying success on some level!

Hey

I am so proud of those of you that are sticking to your goals. For those of us that have crashed and burned there is January just around the corner. Heather and Kim you are awesome, maybe some of the rest of you are also but are just not blogging. I am still feeding the 5000, well actually the number has dropped so now it is only the 2000 so I will start when they all go home. Still not sure when some of them are leaving. I think they have to go to work on Monday but had no idea they were staying this long. I plan to send all the junk food home with them.

green canyon hamburger...

So I took the kids to green canyon for some swimming today and I had a hamburger! It was greasy and delish. However it was not my free day today....bad heather! So I did meet my excerise goals today but pretty sure the hamburgerdoesnt work well for body for life. Oh well one day for not meeting nutrition this month....I'm happy with it.

Monday 27th of December

I met my goals today. Good times. Hoping everyone is fairing well with their goals.

Christmas is over....

Well Christmas has come and gone...that's good and bad. Hope everyone had a great day and hope everyone is ready for the goals to come. Its exciting to look back on all my accomplishments this last year. I've lost 86 lbs, I ran a half marathon, I met some wonderful friends who have helped me along the way. I'm even more excited for this coming year and to finish the journey of weight loss and reach my "goal" finally!! I'm even more excited to run in some half marathons and races this year and to be strong and finish in some goal time. Thank you all for your help this last year....I could not have done it without all your help, encouragement, and accountability. I look forward to all we can accomplish in 2011!

Christmas Joy

Merry Merry to everyone. What a fun day. I have way over drinken today...Mt Dew is soooo good and soooo bad for you. I have had 3 cans today and blah I feel so gross. I have not done too bad on eating though...just pop. Today was my free day. I met my goals. I hope everyone has had a blessed day with family.
Kim~ I signed up for the SLC half marathon today so it's official we are registered!! There is still plenty of time to train and sign up ladies! It would be fun for everyone to come and participate. :)

Happy Christmas Eve

I may not be blogging for a few days since I will be feeding the 5000 until about Thursday. I am thinking it will be rough to do low carb so I think I will start over on Dec 30th. I made myself get on the scale today and I am the same weight I was at the start of December. I know some of you valiant ones have lost weight but I am just grateful to not have gained some. I have been exercising pretty faithfully so I guess that works. Happy holidays, keep up the good work. You guys are a great support system and wonderful friends. Merry Christmas.

Christmas is coming!

How's everyone doing? I hope the reason few people are commenting is that we're all just too busy to get to the computer!

We just got back from a fun trip to Salt Lake. I ran on the treadmill at the hotel this morning. It seemed really easy and I couldn't decide if I've gotten stronger or if the treadmill numbers were off. I also met my eating goals despite the fact that my favorite travelling companion brought unhealthy food into the car.

I hope you're all doing well and are ready for the big weekend!

2 days left

Are you ready for the big day?? I think I am.... I met my goals today.

Hard times

I have no idea what is going on with me these past few days but goodness all I want to do is eat....I have not given in and done so (other then my allowed food choices and amounts) but goodness it's all I can do to stay on track. Everything sounds good and looks good. Christmas can not come soon enough...that is my next free day. I did meet my goals today for food and am heading to the gym in 10 minutes to go my stuff. Best of LUCK to everyone...this week is hard on the eating!!

Holly Jolly

I titled this holly jolly because I need some of that. I am tired of shopping and wrapping but apparently not too tired to eat. Congratulations to you strong valiant women that stick to your goals. I will be one of you again.

I'm not counting

Our numbers seem to be a bit slim lately. But, I'm sure everyone still has healthy living on their mind!

I met my goals today despite attending a birthday party and also receiving a plate of brownies. I would be really proud of myself for resisting, but it wasn't hard! I have quite a bit of sewing to do this week, but I've decided that I'm not going to let my exercise slide. I know that when I take the time to exercise and eat healthfully, I actually have more time because I have so much more energy. I hope the rest of you are doing well, but even if you're not, it would be great to hear from everyone!!

7 days to go but who is counting

I have noticed that not everyone is blogging these days including me. In my case that means my goals have flown out the window. I am 11 of 18 for exercise goals and only 8 of 18 for nutrition goals. The good thing is I have done better in December with the HLC than I would have without it. Thanks for your example and your ability to stick to it. This next week will be better for me, no more baking to be done (next year I am rethinking that whole thing). Keep up the good work and I will join you in your success. I have not dared weigh for a week but will do it after a few days of success. Keep up the good work I am joining you again.

Friday and only one week left to shop

Hello Ladies! I am happy to report that I met my goals today. I even had a date tonight with my son and he wanted to go to Cafe Rio and Cocoa Bean. SO we went and I had a salad without dressing and no torilla...and NO cupcake for me. He had one and I watched him eat it. To tell you the truth it was not too hard to resist. Happy Friday and here's to a goal met weekend! :)

thursday only 8 days left

Yep...still have to shop. I met my goals today. Today was hard though...I really wanted the homemade toffee and cookies that were surrounding me @ work. But I was able to hold off for my free day on Saturday. Hope everyone else found success today.

Ready for the weekend!

I met my goals today--glad I walked early this morning cuz I'm all out of ambition tonight. We are going to SLC for the weekend and I hope I will be able to stick with it while there, but I do still have a treat day coming for this week. Have a good one ladies!

Starting again

OK. Four days of eating fudge and pumpkin bread. Oops. I passed the goodies along to others so today I start fresh. I felt so much better 4 days ago. Why do we do this? Headed to Utah today to help out my parents, be back tomorrow. Hope to see all of you at the Relief Society meeting tomorrow at 7:00. Congratulations for meeting your goals in December, it is amazing.

11 days til Christmas...

CRAZY how the time if flying!! I still have not made it shopping, why not wait I guess. :) Thanks for all your kind words yesterday, you guys are too kind and give me too much credit. Well I am happy to report that another day of goals has been met on my part. I will head to the gym here in an hour or so and work on legs and abs...always fun! I forgot to report that I lost another 2 lbs this last week...yea!! I feel amazingly stronger then ever. I am starving today however and that is not so fun....but I have managed to just stay on track and try to ignore my stomach rumbling. Hope everyone has had a great goal met day.

12 days and still didnt make it shopping

Happy Monday HLC! I just ate the yummiest dinner~ stir fry! I will head to the gym in 2 hours and will run for 30 minutes and do the elipical for another 30. I have eaten great and met goals.

13 more days

Great Scott where has the month gone...I need to get shopping! I don't know how many of you get the bountiful basket's but if you don't you should! I am finding that I eat many more veggies and fruit then I used to and it's only 15 for a huge amount of produce. I had 2 diffrent kinds of squash for dinner and I met my goals today! Have a fantastic week friends.

Slick Saturday

How's your weekend going? I just got back from Pocatello. We passed lots of slide-offs.

Anyway, I met my goals today. We went out to dinner, but I made good choices and ate small portions. It was actually easy! I'm really sold on the Body for Life program, but I think I've made that clear in previous posts. I hope you're all doing well!

10 days in a row for all of us I think

Day 10. I think we are all doing great. I met my goals again today. I have missed two days of exercise and two days of eating right, since I too have a free day once a week I will have to be careful for the next 4 days. I met my goals today, hope you did too. It is getting harder the closer Christmas gets as I know treats will be arriving more frequently. Dave brought home a big box of chocolates today. Tough stuff. Just say no!

Thanks Heather

I talked to Heather on the phone today. We were both having weak moments and wanted to eat something yummy and unhealthy but she convinced me that she was not going to give in so neither did I. Thanks. I met my goals today. Love the exercise but sure want to eat all the yummy cakes, cookies, candy etc. Tough time of year so watch out.

Wednesday

I got brave this morning and got on the scale today. Down 2 pounds. Since for the last three months I have been going up that is great news for me. Two pounds a week would be a great goal for me. Congratulations to all of you for doing so well in December.

What's your favorite legal treat?

What do you use to get you past that "I'm not really hungry, but want something tasty" time? Mine are Sugar Free Werthers candy (I like all 3 flavors, regular caramel, mint caramel, & cinnamon caramel). I met my goals today. I walked on the treadmill first thing this morning--my day goes much better when I do that rather than try to fit exercise in later in the day. Hope you all had a great Tuesday!

6lbs down

Hip Hip Hooray...first week of Body for Life and I am 6 lbs down. I feel great and have good energy. The most wonderful thing of all though is that I don't feel like I am starving or sacrificing anything on Body for Life!! I am loving it. I can say that I met my goals as I am heading to the gym in about an hour to burn some calories on the elipical while I watch my favorite TV show. Life is good and I hope everyone had a fantastic Monday!!

SUNDAY

Goals Met :0)

Saturday

I decided to go ahead and post since I'm done eating for the day plus I did a step video this morning. So, I met my goals today!

Congratulations Ilene on the 5 lb loss. I also like your point about being one of the few groups of women who will weigh less after Christmas than before. It's always nice to be unique.

I'm still slightly suffering the effects of an overindulgent free day. I learned a good lesson though, and I know my next free day (next Friday) will go much better!

Body For Life

Sounds like the program is working for you girls!! I want in on it...Ilene, can I borrow the book you offered??

I met my goals on Thursday AND we're in escrow for the house on Alayssa!! YEE HAW!

Mornings Are The Best!

I met my goals yesterday...EVERYONE is doing great!!

I think we can ALL do it! We are Women of POWER!! :0)
