Why is it we have a weigh in, I log my weight, the next day i drop 2 pounds???? UGH! Oh well.. if I keep this off for this next weigh in I will be happy, happy, happy!
I am sooo glad you are back kris! Keep working on getting healthier and stronger! When I have Chinese I always go for pure protein and veggies. Nothing fried, and no carbs, rice, noodles, wontons, etc....
I just started back at being more consistent with my workouts so I am adding to the fitness sheet. I am not doing anything crazy, just nice easy paces. And I lost 3 pounds of water in 2 days... I'm taking it. LOL
Keep on Moving!0 -
Ha, I know. It's so exciting to drop the weight, but WHY is the timing always that way?
Thank you! I'm feeling worse today. Boo. Ah, well, vitamins and as much rest and good food as possible. Thanks for the advice. I was just sitting here concerned about that Chinese food. Rice and noodles are desperately my weakness... But in the end, it's just food, right?
I'm focusing on meat and broccoli and whatever other veggies I can find!
Good job with the fitness! Yep, doesn't always matter how intense. In the long run, we just need to move. Way to go on those 3 pounds!!0 -
Good Monday Morning everyone! I hope everyone did well over the weekend! I find by logging in on the weekends I am more conscious of what I am eating. I always used to blow off counting my calories on Sat/Sun... well now that I am logging every day no matter what day it is, it keeps me honest!
A new challenge week has begun.... if you can remember 1 mile per every 15 minutes.. let's see how many miles we can clock on challenge 3!
Have a great week everyone!0 -
Yes, weekends can be tough! Good job logging! Even if I end up eating a higher amount of calories but log it, I still feel better knowing I was accountable.
Our weekend away was good. I didn't do too badly with the restaurant foods! I didn't lose any weight, but I didn't gain any, either. I did hit my head while we were away. (Always scary.) And the next day, guess what I did? Hit my head on the other side! So if you see a funny looking gal with matching bruises, that's me! I think I really need to slow down this week and just focus on rest and good nutrition.
After being sick and then being out of town, I'm sooooo looking forward to getting back to exercising! I was going to workout in the hotel gym, but I didn't want to leave our pups in the hotel room alone. I did some basic exercise in the hotel room. It wasn't majorly intense, but I'm glad I got something in.
Let's finish round 3 STRONG!0 -
I have also started logging my foods on the weekends. It does seem to help. I just really, really have to do a better job of remembering to exercise during the day. I guess that's my new focus.0
-
I'm looking forward to posting better numbers on the weigh-in spreadsheet next time. Just have to get moving!0

Kris: At least you got some kind of work out in! Anything is better than Nothing! I am laughing at the visual of your matching bruises. lol You sound like you just need to relax and no mindless munching!
Julia: keep on moving! I like the saying... no matter how slow you go, you are still lapping the person sitting on the couch! Sometimes I feel like a walking bumper sticker. LOL
I have been pretty darn proud of myself... well until last night... I have to admit... Bugles are NOT considered "clean eating" food. *face palm*
But other than the one Binge Ho attack, I have been seriously nailing my calories!! Sweet!
I am sooooo hoping to post a loss this week.. and I mean at least 2 pounds! And not the next day either.
I have 3 days of biking in and I am going for 4 tonight! Toot toot! Who knows I might just go for 5 tomorrow! I know I am enjoying having the work out center all to myself after work. No one can hear or see me chuggin and puffin on the spinners! hee hee hee
Keep on Moving Team! let's take the blue ribbon this week!

Yippee! Had a much better week. Back on target and planned ahead for when I was out and about. Continuing to work on getting the exercise in.0
-
Melissa: Great exercising! Hope your numbers are more to your liking this week.
Kris: Hope you are continuing feel all better this week.0 -
Well... I blew the weigh in .... again. UGH! My scale goes up and down a matter of 2 pounds over night... so I know it is sodium issue related, but it is making me nuts! I am going to get more miles logged in this week! My miles look pretty good but they aren't good enough when I keep going up and down on the scale like this.
Still not giving up! Just going to have to really pay attention to my salt intake! Last night with superbowl food was not as good as it could have been! I still don't understand what is so wrong about chicken wings!!! I don't like them breaded and I only go for the medium heat... but my neighbor says it is the skin on them that makes the wings so bad for us. I keep thinking, "Well it is white meat!". Um. No. I need to stop fooling myself and make better choices to get that scale to move down and keep moving down!0 -
I love hot wings! The spicier the better. So hard to eat just one...or two...
For Super Bowl, I tried to be good by planning ahead. It may look a little weird on the weigh-in chart, but my weight went down 1/2 pound between the Jan 31 weight and the Feb 1st weight. That was my pregame prep. This morning, my weight has returned to the Jan 31st number and I'm ecstatic that it wasn't more than that. I enjoyed every morsel of pizza that I logged along with a really cold organic root beer and couple glasses of wine during the day. All completely worth todays water retention from the excess sodium!0 -
Thank you! I'm doing better most days.
Good job not giving up, Ladies, and good job planning ahead!
I'm not making much progress so far...I feel like I've been ill for most of the challenge. January flew by. I don't want more time to pass without making progress.
Keep going, Ladies!0 -
I feel the same way kris. I have improved my habits as far as exercise . planning ahead , and forgiving myself! I feel like I should have better numbers because I have been getting work outs in but I also know I have made some bad choices with eating out. Arrgghhhh0
-
Yeah, I think the restaurant food is my biggest hurdle. Even with "healthier" choices, the food is still higher cal than at home.0
-
I was down to 170 when I weight in this morning! Yes! I have learned to accept a lot of the pitfalls but this group keeps me determined to keep going! I keep trying every day to better than the last one!0
-
I feel like a winner if I simply stay the course and finish the challenge. One of my personal challenges this year is seeing things through and not quitting. I am so grateful to the Challenge leaders and participants that make this Challenge interaction possible! Thank you.0

Eating out tonight with a bunch of friends. I've tried to look at the menu on-line before going to the restaurant and pick out what will work best for me. We will see how I hold up after getting there. This is like it's own personal challenge for me this weekend.0

Survived the dinner out last night at an amazing Italian restaurant. Instead of ordering a meal that comes with tons of pasta, I ordered a small side salad and added grilled salmon to that and then ordered a side of their sautéed vegetables. The waiter was kind enough to serve the salmon with the vegetable side. I left feeling satisfied and super full. I even had some leftovers for lunch today. 0

Good Job J!!!! Eating is the worse but it can be done with less damage! :-)0

Hello guys wanted to say Hi and I will revisit eating clean. I have been a slacker this past few months and I really have to refocus again. You guys are doing well. Take care0
-
Hi Christine! Glad to hear from you! We have all had our ups and downs... at least you have recognized it and you are right.... time to refocus, get your head in the game, and make it happen! I know you can do it! 0
-
Hello ladies we are doing the next challenge this March and we need volunteers to help with the fitness and recording of winners. If you wish to help please send me a message. Thanks0
-
Yes, seeing things through is a challenge in itself, but not quitting is such a good goal. That alone has to bring progress!
0 -
Glad to see you, Christine!
I've been sick for most of this challenge!
How does that happen? Winter, I guess.
There are so many people in this group who have shown themselves to be great leaders!! What a good bunch.
(Let me know if you don't get volunteers. We will be in the middle of moving, but I am always willing to help. Hopefully without being ill this time. )

I can help... not sure what you need me to do.. I like being a co-leader and helping with whatever I can! Just let me know!0

So I have been getting my buns to the gym this week... and i am actually going to try a virtual spin class today. I have been doing some really neat interactive rides on the stationary bike,,, but I have been eyeballing the spin cycles. Wish me luck!0
-
That sounds like a lot of fun!!0

I am down another pound this morning! I have officially broken into the 160s and am sitting firmly at 168.5. YAY! Gonna keep up with my spinning… it is making that scale move down!
I don’t have to worry too much about V Day. My hubby works so I won’t even see him. I even picked up the Saturday shift at my PT job. Will get home about 3:30 and plan to grab my mom around 4 for an early dinner. Her choice. My veggie tonight is broccoli… sure hope I can order just broccoli somewhere! Lol I can only imagine the looks. I am hoping to get her to dinner and back before I do the teenager run. My youngest (15 yr) has a “date” with his GF. They are going to Buca’s and have a 6:00 reservation. I need to get mom fed and back if possible, otherwise, they teens are just going to have to deal with me dropping them off in the handicap van…. I like to call it the Scooby Doo mobile. It looks just like the Mystery Machine, but with windows, no flowers. (darn it!) But the exact same style and color. LOL My son is horrified when I drive him around in it. Plus I wouldn’t mind dropping off mom, getting her settled in, then get the teens, take them to Buca’s… while they eat, perhaps drink a glass of vino in the bar while waiting. :-)
I am probably going to look like a giant loser, but I don’t care. LOL
What is everyone else doing this weekend?

I'm working hard to meet you in the 160's. Hopefully, another month and I'll be knocking on the door!

Ha, you need to get some flowers on that thing.
Way to go on the 160s!!!
You'll look confident and unafraid to boldly celebrate your glass of wine. People will envy you.
I wanted to go away this weekend, but we usually decide to avoid the V Day crowds and wait until everyone is back to their normal lives.
Happy Valentine's Day, All!0
