hello to all my beautiful girlies!!!
i am ssssoooo excited about this challenge, as LZ said, the previous one was a time of trial for me...to see where my strengths and weaknesses were...to learn how to eat in moderation, how to get back on the wagon when i fall!!!
so since this is a 6 week goal i am going to make a goal of a six pound loss...which would be 142. ooohhh, sooo close to the 130s!!! gonna try to kick it up to get there! need to get in the scat and LZ club!! i also will be shortly leaving pa to go to wa right after this challenge ends, and i hate to say it, but want to be more down in wt b4 i see my ex sil...i know she'll say something, she can't help herself.
and i think that CD should be the one with the motivational messages several times a week!! she is great at that. i get some sometimes from a yahoo group i am on, so if they pertain i will put them here.
as to me:
i am a 32 y/o traveling nurse, currently in nw pa, going to wa in april and alaska in july. my bf and all my children, dog and fish come with me. the kids are homeschooled, sort of!! we started traveling last sept...i lost my eldest son, Brock, in june of last year-hence why we started traveling, to kinda get away. it was the day before his 8th bday. no, we don't know what happened, autopsy neg, went to wake him up and he was dead. i have 3 living children...who are wild heathens. yes, we took them all to the cardiologists...they did a ton of testing, can't find anything wrong with any of them, dang it. so i am doing the nurse thing and shoving it all deep down inside where i put all the other bad things that i have seen and done-like coding babies. ick ick ick.
i am not on phen, but am taking cla and lean system 7...not sure how the last is working though. i know cla helps with muscle toning and stuff, so i will probably keep taking it, and will finish the LS7-then maybe switch to something else. i have been trying to get down into the 130s since i started having kids about 9 years ago!
goals for this challenge for me are kinda a continuation of the previous ones that i didn't quite accomplish:
cals-under 1300
fat -<46
sat fat <14
choles <300
na <2400
fiber > 20
protein >50
along with getting 3 serv of fruits and veggies everyday. i really need to work on my water intake too!!! hope we have a weekly challenge for that (wink wink LZ). right now i just want to be healthy, and if that wt is more than i want then that's ok...as long as i am healthy!! i have had high choles since i was 8 y/o, no matter what diet and exercise i did...i also think that i have hypothyroidism, just had labs drawn and gonna talk to the weird doc i saw in NY (long story for those who didn't already read about it!!). i also have chest pain too, occasionally-but u didn't hear me say it!
oh, and when i get to wa state i am gonna start doing bellydancing again!!! more drive to have a firmer body for that!! i soooo love to do it!
welcome oldies and newbies, and remember ladies, we are stronger together than apart.
