Jen's Day 1

Day 1 of Strive for Five is complete. Here's how I did:

2 mi. WATP - Complete

5 servings fruits/veggies - 1 serving (Before the next challenge I'll remember to go to the market!)

Over all day 1 I will count as a success because hell if I didn't want to work out. Omg, Sarah made me do it! I swear people, she knows how to crack a whip. Really....

New changes coming to Skinny Bitches! Stay tuned....

fruit and veggie serving size

Thought you guys might find this helpful when striving for five fruits/veggies a day-

A serving size is:

-One medium-size fruit
-1/2 cup raw, cooked, frozen or canned fruits (in 100% juice) or vegetables
-3/4 cup (6 oz.) 100% fruit or vegetable juice
-1/2 cup cooked, canned or frozen legumes (beans and peas)
-1 cup raw, leafy vegetables
-1/4 cup dried fruit

The start of Strive for Five

Are you ready ladies!?
Buy your fruit, buy your veggies and get your workout clothes out, it's time to Rock August!

Hm, you know, we should have included water in the challenge. On well, don't want to overwhelm ourselves, maybe next challenge :) But, do try to get lots of water in!

We can do this! Go us!

Met my first week's goal

I completed 5 days of working out this week. I did 4 days in a row straight. Took the night off, then got right back up and did my 5th night tonight. Thanks to Sarah for motivating me!! I probably would of used the cramp in my calf as an excuse. I've had it all day long but once I started working out, it just worked itself out. I think warming the muscle up helped or something. Maybe more stretching even though I have been trying to stretch it all day!

To those who have commented. Thank you! Your encouragement means the world to us and I know that it helps so much. It isn't easy to put something very personal, very emotional as weight and the walk we are taking to lose it on such a public forum. Having encouragment makes sometimes the hardest days seem bearable and the easy days (are there any??) even easier.

Thanks so much!!

Oh and another little tid bit sort of related to weight loss (hee!) that I've been meaning to write about is that the water where I live stinks. Litterally. It has an odor to it. I'm used to rich mountain spring water back home and this stuff tastes like potting soil! I hate it. I had a water purifier on my tap at my former apartment but when we moved here the sink is completely different and the spout is too low to put a purifier on it. I finally just got smart (and financial able) and bought a Brita Dispenser. Oh man! What a world of difference it makes! The water is tasteless! Just like it should be. I've been drinking water by the gallons I know it. I haven't had a hard time meeting my water requirements this week!

Strive for Five, Bitch!

Our August motto is Strive for Five.

Our goals are to work out 5 days a week doing either Walk Away The Pounds or Sweatin to the Oldies.

We will also be striving to eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies (3 of one, 2 of the other) a day.

Our weeks will start on Friday.

There is no set date for Weigh In's, when to weigh is a totally individual decision.

Starting July 29th let the games begin!

Welcome the new Bitch!

Welcome to the newest Skinny Bitch to be- Ashley! :)

Just for kicks

I've worked out 2 days in a row. Just wanted to document that. Hee!

4 mile goal - week 3

Completed.
