I haven't really done any of this but I suppose I'll join this week.

What was your biggest motivation last week? After knowing I ate so much over Thanksgiving, I knew I needed to work out more!

If you did any workouts, what did you do? I ran and did insanity (they're insane, for real)

What was your favorite healthy meal of the week? I'm proud to say that I'm having salad for lunch for the 2nd day in row- spianch, mariana oranges, pomegranate, walnuts, mozzarella cheese, and balsamic vinagerette.

Any motivational tips? quotes, pics, sayings, etc. you would like to share? I've always loved this- "Focus on the Result!". I usually think of this when I'm suffering through a workout.

What is your goal for next week? I would like to eat healthier and not whine so much when I need to work out.

Any receipes you would like to share? Try the salad I mentioned above. Yum!

Meki--
What's your secret for pomegranates?  I've done the soaking of them and all that, but still find it's a pain to get all the seeds.  Any tricks?

Actually this is no secret- I found an awesome container with all of the pomegranate seeds in it!! I found it in the salad/fruit area in the cold section. I was SO excited when I found it- it even comes with a spoon so I can just scoop out the seeds from the cup. I think it says "POW" in the front with the O being heart-like. Clear cup.

On a side note, I pulled out a suit I purchased last year for job interviews (I got an interview this Thursday!) and when I went to try it on, it's really big on me!  That was pretty exciting because the scale has been doing nothing but going up for me these past few months.

I don't have time to answer everything, but the past week has been good for me.  I've been upping my fruits and veggies and when we do have to eat out, I am making very conscious choices.  Bonus of the week, FI has started doing the 30 day shred with me!
