I ran 6 miles today as I am training for a 10 mile race in a few weeks. And, I made it to Crossfit twice this week even though I was exhausted after work!</p> <p>ETA: I just realized that I posted this on the wrong thread. Whoops! Hopping back over to holiday hotties thread now!! Sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics/page/2#post-1238565 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 19:04:07 +0000 cmomma17 1238565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: thanks coach! ;) I squeezed in a few extra minutes of exercise and didn't worry about it! Avoiding the office goodies was a huge victory! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics/page/2#post-1237269 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 18:45:24 +0000 MsLipGloss 1237269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: All good choices count! All I am looking to do is to tip the scales in favor of the good choices!

Enjoy the meal, and your DH *wink*, and then just pick right back up where you left off! No biggie! </p> <p>Oh, and awesome job with the donuts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics/page/2#post-1237077 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 16:40:12 +0000 cmomma17 1237077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I stayed away but now DH wants me to pick up Chipotle for dinner!!!! I can't win :( :( :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics/page/2#post-1237072 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 16:37:28 +0000 blackbird 1237072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>stay away! stay away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics/page/2#post-1236911 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 15:35:47 +0000 cmomma17 1236911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: or maybe don't even think about "starting" and "stopping" just try to be healthy MOST of the time! :) It doesn't have to be so black and white. I know I had the bad habit in the past of saying, "well I had a cookie, I might as well have an unhealthy lunch, and I might as well not work out tonight, and oh there's some cake!" slippery slope! Just eat the cookie and move on! ;)</p> <p>Now can we talk about how I planned out all my healthy food and I'm sitting here hungry at work. My boss brought in glazed donuts, donut holes, AND cinnamon buns this morning and sat them on the table right next to me! CHOOSING to be healthy. Choosing choosing choosing ..... so hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics/page/2#post-1235817 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:34:02 +0000 swurlygurl 1235817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: @MsLipGloss: @blackbird: &lt;3 &lt;3 &lt;3 I'm going to try to remember your encouragement at lunch today! A better diet doesn't have to start at the beginning of a day, it just has to START </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics/page/2#post-1235808 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:31:25 +0000 blackbird 1235808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma, nice job!</p> <p>@swurlygurl, it doesn't have to derail your whole day! </p> <p>@mslipgloss, so true. Both are hard. One just makes you happier in the long run </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics/page/2#post-1235790 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:26:17 +0000 citymouse 1235790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still preggo, but this board is inspiring me!!

Just make a better food choice later in the day . . . all is not lost! No Guilt!! - what's done is done. Just move forward! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics/page/2#post-1235749 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:14:44 +0000 MsLipGloss 1235749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Inorite?! At least he's easy on the eyes! </p> <p>@cmomma17: WOOOT! And yeah, I totally agree about choice . . . losing weight/getting back to being fit is hard, but being unhappy with myself is also hard . . . I just had to pick my *hard.* :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics/page/2#post-1235630 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 09:47:32 +0000 cmomma17 1235630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: doesn't mean the rest of your day can't be healthy! try to pick something good for lunch or dinner! And just work out for ten minutes tonight at home (like walking, jumping jacks, squats, easy basic stuff). That's what I told myself, just 10 minutes a day! If I do more, great! If not, that's okay too. Baby steps :)<br /> You can do it!</p> <p>@petunia354: Thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics/page/2#post-1235626 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 09:45:41 +0000 petunia354 1235626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: That's awesome!!

Good for you!! Meanwhile, I had a jalapeno cheddar sausage from the gas station this morning... ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics/page/2#post-1235592 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 09:38:57 +0000 cmomma17 1235592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ladies I think you all will be proud of me. </p> <p>Last night I managed to cook up a big batch of quinoa (while washing bottles and pump parts) AND worked out in the living room for 25 minutes after LO went to sleep! And it didn't kill me! ;)</p> <p>This morning I have packed super healthy food for the day and I did 10 minutes of exercise in the am (walking, and day 1 of a 200 squat challenge I found on pinterest).</p> <p>Whoop whoop :)</p> <p>I decided that life is all about CHOICE. So I'm going to choose to be healthy, fit, and positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics/page/2#post-1235488 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 09:10:37 +0000 blackbird 1235488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sean T cracks me up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics#post-1233751 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:21:26 +0000 JoJoGirl 1233751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hehe guys I've done the T25! Not all of them, as I'm trying to hitch a ride with a friend who is doing the 'real' program (and I do them with her when I can). They are hard, but videos are always kind of weird to me.. I used to do TaeBo and Billy Blanks just has that weird style... Sean T is kind of the same way. "I'M GONNA MAKE YOU SWEAT, BECAUSE I'm SEAN T. T! 25". You know. Anyway once I get over that, they are good - he does a lot of complex movements and I couldn't finish the 'total body' DVD the first few times I did it. Hard but not 'I want to die' hard. And I was sore the next day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics#post-1233620 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:47:43 +0000 cmomma17 1233620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: you are not helping my cause AT ALL!!!!!! Spinach is the secret to getting HUGE! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics#post-1233562 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:33:18 +0000 blackbird 1233562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17, lol biceps are not built from big salads. Nice try, though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics#post-1233531 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:24:40 +0000 cmomma17 1233531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I might need to take more of a weekend warrior approach too! Better a weekend warrior than not a warrior at all right? :) DH's extended fam is in TN by the way, Knoxville! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics#post-1233525 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:23:28 +0000 cmomma17 1233525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: yes! Hurry up and review these workouts for the rest of us! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics#post-1233463 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:12:31 +0000 MsLipGloss 1233463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @grizz: In that case, I will make it a priority to add them in as soon as possible. Maybe this is the push I need to start tonight. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics#post-1233454 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:10:36 +0000 Boheme 1233454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: @Smurfette: I would love to know how you like them too! Right now its more feasible for me to do a workout video at home. </p> <p>@cmomma17: Yes, The Abs Diet! I LOVE! We still eat a lot of things from the books, but DH has an awful sweet tooth. He's one of those people who can eat whatever he wants and never gain an ounce. It makes it so hard for me! I live in TN so the weather here is hot some days, cold others... but its always dark when I get off work. Boo :( I'm gonna have to be a weekend warrior as far as doing stuff outside with my LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics#post-1233362 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:55:04 +0000 Smurfette 1233362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Please tell me how you like those videos.....I like the 25 mins of busting it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics#post-1233326 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:51:13 +0000 cmomma17 1233326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: oooh, like the Abs Diet? We have those books and were into that for a while. The one thing from the abs diet that stuck forever was my healthy breakfast of oatmeal with raspberries. Maybe I'll try to flip through that book this evening ...</p> <p>Good for you for avoiding workplace goodies! Temptation in my office is huge! Is it cold where you are? I'd walk with LO but it's already dark both before and after my work hours and it's freakin' COLD here, so I'd feel bad taking LO out. :( </p> <p>Congrats on your weightloss so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics#post-1233270 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:41:07 +0000 Boheme 1233270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm working on it! I used to do fitness competitions and completely lived by these 12 super-foods/clean eating principles from Men's Health/Women's Health mags and Rodale publishing.<br /> Annnnnd then I met my husband. </p> <p>I've been grain free/eating clean again for 9 days now and lost 7 lbs right off the bat. I have just decided i don't have a choice. My postbaby weight isn't a healthy one, so this is my life right now. Somebody brought homemade pumpkin bread with cream cheese icing to a staff meeting today, and I told myself that at the end of the two hour meeting, if I REALLY still felt like I needed to have it, I could... and I didn't. Tiny victories add up! </p> <p>Like you, my gym availability time is a little dicey because my husband works crazy hours. But starting this weekend, even if I have to stick the baby in the stroller and walk 6 miles, that's what's happening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics#post-1233246 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:36:25 +0000 JoJoGirl 1233246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: The only way I can work out after she wakes up is because DH takes her in the am and does daycare drop off. Usually she gets up at 5am and I feed her, put her back down and hope she'll go back to sleep for DH, leave the house between 5:30 and 6 depending what time she gets up, at the gym between 6 and 6:30, work out until 7, shower, at my desk by 7:30 (i'm quick) - then I pump and start my day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clean-eaters-amp-fitness-fanatics#post-1233230 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 14:33:21 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1233230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally used to be buuuuuuuut, once I had DD, I just couldn't get back to the same place I was before. I'm trying to get there, but apparently this baby doesn't like me working out. (Seriously, 10 squats w/ shoulder press and I'm breathing heavy... really??) </p>
