Happy Friday everyone! Hope your week went well and you are all LOSERS - WILMAS way anyway ;)
Reminder to send me your # and % lost for today and every Friday for 8 weeks!
Don't forget I will be out for Peyton's Promise Walk tomorrow if any one wants to join us. Only a jar of peanut butter for entry fee - which goes toward food pantries.
I know I need to be more disciplined with what I eat and get more exercise! So very hard :/

How is everybody doing? This weather makes me want to make all kinds of comfort food without changing any ingredients ;O The hard part is wanting to make a meal for my family (only 3 of us now) and eating all of it. Or when it comes to meal times, I should be eating even though I may not be hungry. My will power and temptations stink. I like food! Thanks for listening. And it's only the first week - pitty party on me today.

Hello all! I thought I'd give this a try :) Hope everyone's weekend went well!
I think Laura's tip about documenting is a great idea. I too find myself not wanting to document some things I put in my mouth :O
I am using apps on my phone to log both exercise and food. The food app even has a scanner to calculate everything and works great (I just have to use it). They are: MyFitnessPal and MapMyFitness. The weather was great this weekend and I got myself up and went for a jog/walk yesterday.
Renee might be our newest WILMAS. She had a great idea of having a salad day where everyone brings fixings. Hoping she will get us motivated with that ;)
Also, on the top is a link to an event my friends daughter is putting on. I also have a hard copy in this office. It is this Saturday! Hope to see you.
Have a great week!

Hey fellow WILMAS
I decided it might help to keep a food journal as I embark on healthier eating habits. So I will try that and see if it makes me a little more aware of the damage I've been doing. : ) If I tell myself I have to write down everything I eat, I MIGHT pass up the cookies and chips so I don't have "evidence" staring me right in the face.
Here's a quick smoothie recipe in case you're interested:
**frozen strawberries & bananas,
**about 5 oz milk (today I used Silk Coconut milk, I normally use Silk Unsweetened Soy)
**2 tbsp of PB2 powdered peanut butter
PB2 is great as is gives you some protein and extra flavor in the smoothie without all the added fat. http://www.luckyvitamin.com/p-280945-pb2-powdered-peanut-butter-65-oz.
I also like Hemp protein http://www.luckyvitamin.com/p-26580-nutiva-organic-hemp-protein-15g-16-oz which doesn't add any funny protein powder taste, but gives your smoothie a protein boost.

We can do this!!!
Hello Ladies,
I have wanted to lose this "baby fat" ever since my youngest child was born. She just turned 11 last week. I don't think it's baby fat anymore. It's just plain fat. So, it's time. And I am so happy that Jenny and Jodi decided to get the ball rolling with creating the spreadsheet and getting us all motivated to work together towards a healthier lifestyle. I don't know about all of you, but I have no personal discipline when it comes to exercise and eating the way I know I should. I start for a few days, (actually I start every Monday, then by Wednesday I have given up) and slip up, so I just give up all over again. I like the idea of having "accountability" partners. I'll help you if you'll help me. Sometimes all it takes is knowing that someone else is suffering as much as you are. Just knowing that someone else feels your pain gives you the strength to keep going, if not for yourself, then for the other person. You know the ol saying, "misery loves company", well I've always found dieting to be miserable. So let's approach it from a new angle and not consider this a diet. Diet is just die with a t. I prefer to think of it as the beginning of the new me. The me I'm supposed to be. The me I want to be. THE ME I WILL BE! Let's do this. Let's go on this journey together. Let's use this blogsite to rant, rave, check in, share recipes, share tips & ideas, just share. And know that you are not alone. I'm ready. Let's do this!!
