    went for a rollerblade yesterday morning before getting in my car to drive home to visit my family. On my way.. my car broke down on the highway!! So it was a 2 hour detour while CAA came and took my car to a shop, luckily, it was a quick and cheap fix. By the time I got home I scarfed down a homemade burger and hit the mall with my mom to go shopping for a graduation dress to go under my gown. I have to admit we found TONS that we liked :) I was size 12 (snug) and now I bought two 10's. I also fit into size 8's!!! a lil snug - not something I want to wear to sit in for hours but it was a nice surprise. Than my mom and I went to see Sex and the City 2 - loved it!!!! and I didnt eat ANY popcorn :) went to visit a friend who is expecting.. and ended up having ice cream with her and a mars boy. Ohhh boy - way to ruin the day!!! I had a very busy day so I didnt manage to do our challenge, but that means today its double the push ups, lunges, and crunches. I did drink my 8 glasses of water yesterday, and had two servings of fruit.

    ohh and Good News - I GOT A JOB!!!!!!! Just for the month of July - but its better than nothing!

    Thanks for that website. I checked it out and it says to drink 5.1 liters of water a day or 171 ounces. So, I am right on target for my weight and exercise and the amount of water I drink. :)
    Ok, so yesterday I did 50 pushups, could not do the situps because my back was hurting so I did extra pushups. And I got 16 lunges in when my knees decided to protest. Hopefully today I can get more in. I may have to work up to the 50. I drank 16 cups of water and got in 5 servings of fruits and veggies.

    I have been told that I drink way too much water, is that really possible?

    Hope your knee feels better it is possible to drink too much water here is a site to caculate it for you http://nutrition.about.com/library/blwatercalculator.htm

    Good morning all. Well yesterday I got all my challenges in however my eating wasn't real good. I was so busy at work, didn't really take a lunch break....ate manderin oranges and a jello moose thingy. Then after work I had to meet my mom and brother to work on my son's costume for the summer play....when we were done we bought wal-mart chicken and potato salad for dinner. So I don't know if that is eating out or not, kind of is. Didn't make it to curves or get my walk in. RATS!!!!

    Today is anew day and I have a board meeting. WE are serving pie......I will do my best to stay away from it but may need to have just a wee bit!!!!

    Have a great day everyone!

    Went home for Tues till this afternoon so I was very busy visiting people and such. Did manage to get in 30 min of exercise each day, but I didn’t get to the challenge part on Tues or Wed. So, today I forced myself to do the ones I didn’t get to. It took me awhile, and I had to spread it out in commercials... but I managed to do it. Don’t want to miss another day. I’m really struggling with the 5 servings of f&v. I’d like to reach the full 5 servings! Tomorrow I will really push for it.


    Everyone else is doing so well! :) Great Job


    raindancer - Very proud of you and avoiding the sweet tea, and wohooo for the clothes feeling looser

    tigermom79 - Hope your day went well! Hopfully you managed to stay away from the pie, or only allowed yourself a little peice. You can do it!!

    kizzym - Good Job:)

    krklstephie - Way to keep pushing through even though that knee was bugging you. Every other day is a good idea! Especially, if you have a sore knee!

    ashnichole 10 - Wow, you did 50 lunges each leg? do you do that everyday?

    mommie of 2 - Great job for getting back into it, and completing the challenge for Wednesday! Hope you managed to get it done for today.

    Cnbethea – as always you are kicking butt :) I barely eat veggies because I don’t like many. The odd times I do I count a cup as a serving.
  • Hey everyone, today I did good on the working out part, but I'm still struggling with the fruits/ veggies and I also ate out for the 2nd time already! I knew those 2 were gonna be tough for me. We ate at KFC and I still was under my calories for the day, I had the grilled chicken breast at least if that makes a difference. Also I just found out today that my boyfriend and I will be going with some of our friends on vacation next month to Hilton Head!! So going to the beach for a week definitely has given me some extra motivation to keep pushing myself!

    sundinsgurl- lol I started doing 50 each because at first I thought that's how many we were supposed to do. so now I just decided to keep doing that many =) congrats on the job!

    Great Job on the workouts you are killing those crunches/lunges and making great choices while eating out ordering the grill chicken is a great choice!!! It is always exciting when we have something to look foward to and a vacation is a wonderful reward for your hard work and you sure are putting it in!!!!! Keep it up:drinker:

    Ahhh it's been one heck of a week. I was good on water, okay on food, bad on exercises. Unfortunately, I developed a blocked sweat gland and it is painful to move my left arm because of where it is located. Dr put me on antibiotics so hopefully soon, I can pick up on the situps and pushups. Yesterday I did 25 lunges and tried to do situps and pushups but it hurt too bad.
