2009 Body Transformation Challenge, Week 2

[Lucy]

this body ain't so bad, I'm actually pretty sexy

You, my lovely, are a goddamn goddess.

If you could bottle up your inate sense of self confidence and sell it, you'd be a squillionairre.

Talking of which, girls, How To Look Good Naked........a show which I adore and love and am addicted to.......I watch the UK one with Gok Wan, but the Aussie one on Channel 10 is really good too. Well worth a watch...you can watch it in full episodes on the internet....it'll make you realise how gorgeous we all are, tall or short, big or slim.........

After I have watched an episode I always make sure I do something for myself to remind myself of how gorgeous I am.......body lotion, plucking, sexy jammies, just SOMETHING, to nurture myself.......

A non-food reward. Usually at home. A bath with scented oils and candles. A shower with heels on (I got that one from Schaz, LOL!). Clean bed sheets and an oil burner. A face pack........a massage perhaps..........

Think about it, and post and let me know what you are going to do for YOURELF as a nurturing treat........

I'd buy a bottle.....I've always been in terribly short supply of it!

Have had a bad day. I had friends over for lunch and made lasagne. Not the best choice of food to cook....Then they brought a decadent chocy cake...yum! And I made banana and blueberry muffins whaich I have eaten 3 of today. So a write off of a day, but tomorrow is another day and I will get right back up on that horse!

mine's not really something i did for myself, but i bought a new dress for the wedding i went to yesterday. I had to leave the function room to go to the ladies, and this guy watched me walk past. He had this look as if to say, damn! She looks good! Which felt awesome! (normally ppl dont look at me at all!) tonight we went to dinner, and some other guy was watching me was past too! Maybe i walk more confident, or feel i look good. But it upped my confidence!
Ladies, don't think you're not hot stuff coz you've got some weight to lose, coz you are! And don't just think it, believe it!
My wagon is back tomorrow, it's going to be hard to get back on, but it'll be worth it in the end!

Oh. My. God.

It was about 7.30pm last night and DH saw a McDonalds ad on the TV. Suddenly he was DYING for a chocolate Sunday. I caved and said "Yeah why not!" The catch was... we had to WALK to McDonalds to get said icecream. It didn't seem that far so I strapped on my pedometer and off we went.

8km's and 2 hours later we were home again!!!!!

It was a great walk and when we eventually got to McDonalds we felt so good about our walk that we didn't even want the icecream! We ended up getting a Nudie Juice instead.

I am absolutely exhausted today - I don't know how I will function but I am so proud of myself!!

I think I burned off that alcohol from Saturday night at least

Hey, girls using calorieking, is there someway that I can enter a recipe and have it calculate the calories for a portion?? I made banana and blueberry muffins and have no idea how to calculate the calorie content.

Hey everyone. i think I am doing really well with my exercise and eating and still feel motivated. But....I am having a really fat day today. Dont you just hate those.

what you are going to do for YOURELF as a nurturing treat

I think I will have a nice, relaxing bath and then lather myself with a yummy body lotion.

Amy - awesome job on the walk! and doubly so for not getting the icecream. YAY

I had a pretty good day yesterday except I had too much softdrink (3 glasses!), but ate well otherwise and got on the Wii Fit for 36 minutes. It's going to be a lot cooler today so will get out for a walk later on today.
