Day 19: Saturday, 10-11-14

Hello again,

I hope everyone enjoyed their Friday. Day 19 is the start of a 3-day weekend for a lot of us, and we're only one day away from the next milestone weigh-in. If you haven't already responded, we have an event up for the weigh-in. One of the best ways to stay accountable is to make a shared commitment!

If you haven't already shared, how was Day 18 for you? What's on your plate for Day 19, and how are you plan to reach your goals?

For Day 19 I intend to keep my calories within limit and walk at least 120 minutes. I missed my calories limit goal on Day 18.

I'm gonna post earlier than usual because I have a busy morning tomorrow and won't be able to get on until late afternoon. Since tomorrow poses some challenges, I'd like to plan ahead.

So far for Day 17 I'm on track to meet my goals, just need to drink some more water. Also need to get in some stretching of some sort, because I know it will help tomorrow. I'll be laying in a chair unable to move my arms for two hours tomorrow, and my elbows get really stiff.

I'll have to eat earlier than usual tomorrow, so I'll probably do some greek yogurt with toast. I prefer to eat later, but I feel better after donating if I've had a decent meal before. I also need to remember to pack a snack to bring with me because I'd rather not be eating cookies and chips. Activity-wise I'm going to take it easy...maybe could do the yoga I borrowed DVDs for, or take a walk around the mall, as I'm still pretty sore. Yesterday really kicked my *kitten* as far as fatigue goes. I'd like to continue with my good trend of cooking at home. Just checked with my husband and he's down for chicken sandwiches with our farm-fresh corn on the cob and roasted sweet potatoes. Having something to look forward to definitely helps with keeping my sights on the goal. As usual, generally sticking to calories/sodium/water intake would be ideal. Good luck everyone, I hope you have a great start to the weekend!

Good morning everyone!!
Day 18 was a success and I'm looking forward to see the results on the scale tomorrow.

Goals for day 19:
-First thing I want to start adding some exercise as I haven't been active for the last 10 days. Maybe spinning or just walking! I'm taking it step by step.
-Second is to stay within calorie limits and less than 25g carb.
-Lastly drinking more water and less coffee.

Have a great weekend

Hey everyone. Today will be another treadmill jog for the day. We have rain in the forecast all day so I'll do another run. Shouldn't be a problem for food today since I know what I need to eat. I'll be up and around all day so I'm constantly moving. Enjoy your weekend!!!

Today was supposed to be soccer practice before we take the team upstate for the games. Looks like that's a wash out.
So I'm regrouping and figuring out another plan of action.

Lunch with my Grammie today, so i need to choose wisely.

My new fitbit is awesome it will be a big help in keeping track of all my steps and calorie burn!!!!

Day ,20 I'm ready for you!

I ate a lot of salty foods yesterday, so today I need to drink lots of water and watch my sodium while staying within my calories.

Yesterday was such a happy day, ended up going out fot family date night and kinda went over my calories ... So like everyone said already, today I must flush my system with lots of water and be ready for tomorrow. My daughter might feel like hiking today so a 6 mile is on the horizon
Exited about tomorrow's milestone and can't wait to see what the group total ends up being.
Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Yesterday, got in my Couch 2 5k and some of my highest treadmill speeds yet (redoing it to up my pace). Finished off with some core, then did 75 minutes of hot yoga and almost DIED. Glad I did it though.

Today going to see a dietitian. Not expecting too much, but can't hurt. Then get in my Stronglifts (Squats, Bench, Row) and a ride.

I was way over on my calories yesterday, but today is a new day! I am dog-sitting for a friend who lives in the country today, so I'm planning to go jogging while I'm there (I'm not quite to the point where I feel comfortable jogging outdoors where people can actually see me.) This is also my cooking weekend, so I'm planning to make 5 healthy meals to freeze and have as dinners for the month.

Day 18 was a bust! Came home and was falling asleep on the couch, never did my work out, only made around 4200 steps and not enough water.

I'll try to make yesterdays goals today.

Day 18 was a total success! Stayed under my calories, was a little more active than I anticipated. We had Carnitas for dinner and everyone was happy and full. I got plenty of rest and am ready to tackle day 19 with a new vigor.
Today's goals are to get my work out in, avoid those Oreo cookies I just bought for my kiddos, and decorate the crap out of my house in all that is spooky! We are getting in the spirit over here... oh yeah and stay within my calorie budget. Today is going to be a fun and great day!

Day 18 was good. Just made my 10,000 steps and I got all my water in. Was under my calorie goal.
Day 19 try and get in at least 45 active min. get all my water in and 10,000 steps and stay under my calories.

Hit the gym with my DD this morning for 45 grueling minutes. She's a slave driver for sure! I loved it! We'll be walking with Bean a little later. I'll have my steps after that.

Didn't reach water and exercise goal yesterday, but was able to stay under calorie goal.

Goals for Day 19

- Drink 80-90 oz of water
- Stay under calorie goal
- Strength training (since didn't do it yesterday) and light cardio (walking about 3.5 miles)

Looking forward to the second milestone weigh-in tomorrow.

Attended my Great Aunt's funeral today. So not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in.

I was close to my day 19 goal. Ready for 2nd milestone on Day 20.

I was feeling pretty upset earlier that I haven't lost any weight since I started this thing. Yesterday, I weighed myself and I actually seemed to have gained half a pound! I've been logging everyday and I should have lost some weight according to my tracking but I haven't lost anything. So, thats why today I got a good heart rate monitor and a food scale to track more accurately. I had to burn some cash on them, but hopefully it will be worth it in the end and make a huge difference.

I've just joined this group (a little late!) but been slowly losing for the last month.
Had a bit of a rough week having had my wisdom teeth out on Monday and struggling to exercise and eat the way I should be but managed to do a 4 mile run yesterday which felt really good! Back on track I hope!
