Hi Divas!

Is anybody out there?  I was wondering if you ladies would be interested in blogging again, with relavent content directed to other moms interested in fitness?

The Diva's Are On Facebook!!

I just created the group on Facebook for us!! If anyone didn't get invited let me know but I think we're all on there. I'm excited to see us all on there and am hoping it will help motivate each of us as we head towards summer!! :)

Workout Divas on Facebook

Hey Divas!!

I just had a thought and I thought I'd run it by you guys. I have a friend on Facebook that just invited me to a private fitness group and I love it. You can get emails when someone posts on there and you can keep it all private or make it for anyone to see. So...what do you think about the Diva's starting a group on Facebook? I know for me I spend more time on FB whereas I forget about the blog and only check maybe once a week.

I just thought I'd throw that out there and get your two cents. Hope you guys are doing well!!!!

Christi: Help Diva's!! I Need Motivation!!

OK I seriously need some motivation!! Help Divas!! LOL

I got the a-OK to start training last Friday. Since then every day I've found excuse after excuse to not work out. It's awful! I've got a membership to a gym and am pretty much flushing that money down the drain right now. It's only two weeks before I'm 30 which you would think would motivate me but its depressing me even more.

What do you do when you have the mental motivation but not the physical strength to JUST DO IT??

Maybe its time for another fitness minutes challenge??

Christi Before/After Pics!!

I heard someone say they wanted some pics so here ya go! I did a post on Spark People a few weeks ago with these pics so I thought I'd post some here too for motivation. Here is picture of me when I was in the 160-170 range...My best friend and me are trying to motivate each other and he talked me into taking a picture of myself in my new size small shorts. I still hate my thighs but I am trying to be more accountable so I took the picture...
I am still amazed at how far I've come! I hate taking full body pictures but I do have to admit that the pictures never lie so I think I'm going to try to start taking pictures every month. Right now I'm trying to get the nerve to take a picture of me in the bikini a Spark friend sent me for my 30th birthday...did I say it was a STRING BIKINI?!!

I know I look better than what I did but to me I still see so much work to be done. I didn't tone at all during my weight loss and I regret that more than anything.

*****************STREAK UPDATE************************

I haven't been awesome at logging all my food this month but this past week up until today I've been doing great! I found a new app on my android that makes logging your food a breeze and its really helping to hold me accountable. I'm still logging on Spark too which helps a lot but in a pinch I always have my phone and even though I do have the Spark app on my phone it lags on me big time and this other app streams really quick so I can log, see where I'm at as far as fat/calories, and that's that.

I am still wanting to start the Crazy Sexy Diet but funds are nil. I had to quit Home Depot and am now jobless. The nutrition job is at a standstill due to insurance issues and there is no telling when I'll start so right now I'm frantically searching for a graveyard shift job to get me through until the nutrition gig is a go. Please keep me in your prayers as far as the job thing.

I will try to get better about checking in here more. I miss you guys so much and definitely need the motivation. :)

JK- Update on the sTrEaKiNg!!

Hello Divas!  I may not be able to finish this post for now...I just wanted to say "hi" and I'm so proud of everyone! 

My streaks have gone pretty well...  I like to look at the glass as half full... Even though my streaks haven't lasted more than a few days yet, even with the interruptions I manged 5 workouts last week and healthy eating -most- of the time!  I'll try to post details soon! 
Thanks for your accountability and support!
