We've been motivated

Well were were motivated to move our asses. Now, now, don't have a heart attack. It was just a move of this site. We're going to start SB over at Word Press. Why? Well I forget.

Maybe the change of scenery will help jump start us on our journey again.

cliché

It may be cliché but we'll be back in the start of the new year. New year, new beginning.

I'm going to the beach in July I have too lose some weight! I need a new freaking bathing suit!

off the wagon

Sorry SB, fell off the wagon.

You're not abandoned though.

Give me a week and we'll work something out.

rough going

It's been very rough going over here the past week. I haven't worked out since Tuesday. Last week was frustrating as well workout wise, every time I got into my WATP something happened to interrupt and I never got my full 3 miles in, hell I was lucky to get 1 mile done a couple days.

Food? Oh food. I've been getting fruits and veggies in, but loads of bad crap as well. Loads. Bad Crap. Yummy.

I've gained, even though I wasn't going to weigh till before my trip I weighed and it's not pretty, also not "official" so I wont share.

Really going to try and get back on the "wagon", once I find it again.

Mood Booster Challenge

We here at Skinny Bitches have decided that one of the key motivations to try and lose weight and look better is that we want to feel better. To feel better in our own skin, and with ourselves. So what we now are calling the "Mood Booster" Challenge, we're going to try and spend sometime boosting our mood. Hence, the witty and cleaver name.

Now, everyone's mood is boosted by different things so if there's always room to pick your own mood boosting routine for the month. Or you can do ours, which will probably be mostly femine, girly and hygeine related. Sometimes not though as we fly by the seat of our pants here at SB.

So this month the SB Mood Booster is to start a daily facial routine. This doesn't involve expensive products, however if you want to go buy them and pamper yourself by all means! (Send us some too!).

So cleanse your face daily and moisturize. Keyword people! Moisturize. That sun is so drying and our faces are just thirsty for moisture especially in the summer. If you can afford it, get a faical moisturizer with sunscreen. No reason, in this day and age, to subject yourself to the horrific effects of the sun.

Drink your water (H20 is the way to go!) because that in itself will work wonders for skin too. Most of all, just have fun with this!

Stole it from Sarah. Hey, a good idea is a good idea!

wrong five

I guess I should have specified to my body that the whole Strive for Five challenge didn’t involve gaining 5 pounds.

Sarah- Strive for Five in review

The challenge was 5 weeks long. There were a total of 35 days to eat 5 servings of fruits/veggies and a total of 25 days to exercise.

I got 27 out of 35 days worth of fruits/veggies in, of the days I missed I was close more often than not!

I got 24 out of 25 days of exercise, just one day shy! There were a couple weeks I didn't get 5 days done but I guess I made up for it by doing 6 days a few other weeks.

So all in all, not too shabby! Hopefully I do better with this next challenge.

I weigh in the morning... not looking forward to it. I know its a gain. I guess I have to suck it up and move on.

upping my walk next month

My motto is slow and steady. I don't like to do too many things at once and overwhelm myself, it just leads to frustration and failure. I also know my body needs to build up how much exercise it can handle.

Since I started exercising again I've been upping my WATP workout by 1/2 a mile each month. September I was supposed to go up to 2.5 miles but I've decided to go ahead with 3 miles. I'm getting board of the first mile and I think knowing that I'll be doing the whole video will help to get me through the rut of the first mile.
Of course, if after 2.5 miles I'm done for I wont be pushing myself, no good making myself miserable and coming to actually hate the workout. I think I can do 3 miles though.

I'll start off slow with the weights, do as much as I can handle, and when I think I can go longer with them I will. I think by the end of the month I'll be able to do the entire 3 mile walk, weights included. At least I hope so, those little 2 pound weights are heavy little fuckers ;)

WATP

Since it was asked, WATP is an in-home walking program created by Leslie Sansone. I have a DVD of 1 and 2 miles and I think Sarah has a DVD of 3 miles. More information can be found here. You can also look up WATP and/or Leslie Sansone on Amazon.com.

Hope that clears that up!

We will continue on with the Strive for Five goals of
-working out 5 days a week &
- 5 servings of fruits and veggies (preferably 3 of one, 2 of the other) a day
but we will be adding in
-drinking 64 oz of water a day.

Our weeks will still start on Friday, but this challenge will be 4 weeks long from September 2nd to September 29th.

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

Buy your water girls, we start on September 2nd!

"Spam" Comments

Well if someone is going to send unsolicited comments at least they are nice about it and tell us what a fantastic blog we have. Other than that, this new wave of bombardment from "spam" type comments is annoying the heck out of me.

Sickness trumps exercise

Well I have a horrid cold. Coughing, congestion, sore throat, miserable little thing I am. I'm not going to be working out until probably Friday. I'm giving myself this week to recoup and recover. I want to start the week out fresh. Stupid cold is going to keep me from my 5 week goal for August. *sniff*
