Last night at the gym (Life Time Fitness) I signed up for their 90 Day Challenge. There are two categories; Weight Loss and Transformation. Four people will win $10,000 and six runners-up will win $1,000!
It doesn't start until February 7th and naturally I'm whining, "But what about the 14 pounds I've lost already in 2015??? That should count!!!!"
I know that just by participating I'm already winning, but I want CASH baby!
Tonight is my complimentary session with a trainer. I'll update y'all on how it goes.
first wtg for signing up for that. I wish my gym did that because I'd so be in it. plus the money would also make me really do my best lol
Matt I am now pre logging my food because my husband and his friend and wife asked us to go out to the cheesecake factory for dinner and I don't want to mess up what I have done this week. so I looked there menu and I am getting the Lemon-garlic shrimp which is Sauteed Shrimp, Basil, Tomato and Lemon-Garlic Sauce. Served with Asparagus and Angel Hair Pasta and I also added 2 slices of the brown bread and I posted it all on MFP and it shows 648 for dinner. some times I forget to pre log and it goes out the window and its a free for all food haha.

I love challenges like that Flora! I'm sure you will find it motivating despite the 14 lbs. you can't count yet.
Eating out is so tricky; I check online as well then when faced with the choice in the restaurant and with the social triggers for certain foods like appetizers, it is not so easy to follow through with the healthier choice. Ugh.
I got over 10,000 steps in yesterday and I am currently just under 9,000 today to I am starting the Leslie Sansone dvd after I log off. I need the stress relief after a challenging day at work.
Congrats everyone on reaching goals this week, early too!0 -
My goal for this week is to eat 5 fruits and vegetables every day. So far, so good.0

Today is a new day! That is what I am telling myself.....
I had a great day yesterday and a horrible evening! I went to work for a couple hours, walked a lot of laps there, then headed to the gym, walked more there, did my weights and then headed to the DR, which went ok.....after that I got to pick up my laptop (so glad to have it back)......so here is where it went all downhill
Got home at 5pm, had a 7pm meeting.....I had to cook dinner, have a shower, gather and put in my laundry, and clean my degu's cage.....I literally was throwing in my laundry on my way into the meeting. I never got to eat dinner and ate very little during the day. The meeting went over double the amount of time I thought it would. It was literally 10pm and I was putting my clothes in the dryer and was starving.....soooooooo
I came upstairs and ate everything in sight, again....tired, hungry and overwhelmed.....my week was way too insane and I did not have enough time to do everything I NEEDED to do, never mind what I wanted to do.....so, note to self, when I am having a naturally busy week (like the first week of Feb), do not add things like going to the movies Wednesday night on top of it
I weighed myself this morning and did not seem to gain anything from it....anyone have any idea how long that would take to show up on the scale, lol
Michelle - that is awesome! Most teenagers would not want their parent anywhere near their date lol
Skittles - no, she isn't being mean, although I might be getting on her nerves a bit lol
You are a machine with those classes! Are you thinking about switching to the Y?
Matt - I agree, I prefer to decide to cheat too, and not with eggs lol
I try and look online before I go out to eat, but it does not always mean I stick to it
Flora - I would be all over that contest too!! I hope you win that money! We are all here to cheer you on!
shballa - welcome!
jltheis - I am a sucker for apps too! Its hard! Good for you for walking to burn stress!! Not always the easy choice!

I was super lazy today and do not regret it at all, lol, I so needed a day to just stay at home and relax.....tomorrow it is back to the grind, I work early and am gonna walk as many laps as I can between customers.....
I find when I am walking and exercising a lot, my appetite decreases.....but today, I sat around a lot of the day and was hungry....strange.....
Hope everyone has a good weekend!0 -
I did join the Ymca, I need a change of things. so I'm sore from the boxing class, my abs that you can't see with all this fat around it lol anyways they are really sore, so I just did two aqua classes, ( another new class which was nice and aqua zumba) I didn't work as hard at them just, but I enjoyed being in the pool. I also upped my cals because I had it at 1400 but after adding more gym classes in I felt hungry more so I don't want to stave my self, so I'm at 1800. we will see after about a month to a month a half how things work out. because this week I gained some weight. my husband thinks its just because of new classes and my muscles holding in water. idk but I'm not going to worry about it.0

Great weather today for a run. I missed it after 2 days of bad weather. Yall don't know how weird that is. I hate running. Or at least I did. I'm not so sure any more. Onward to a great active weekend!0
-
I wish there was good weather here, its still cold ( no snow today lol ) but cold. I did zumba this morning and my husband and I are going to try a dance class tonight. We are going to learn the cha cha. its an hour long and they have a class once a month so it should be fun. ( i hope)0
-
It is cold here too! And slippery.....I do all my walking inside....
I worked all day, so I walked laps off and on until I hit my 10K steps around 3pm....everything else is gravy now.....gonna have dinner and then hit another walk....my insulin sensitivity is already changing with all this walking.....which over all is a good thing, because the type of insulin I take packs on the weight, however, it is a pain in the *kitten* right now having 3-4 lows a day!

Well this week my goals have not been meet like I wanted them. But I have logged everyday and I have been watching my calorie intake. I just have not felt like working out at the gym. I have been doing pretty good with my daily steps. I have lost a pound since the last time I posted my weight. So, next week I need to step it up. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.0
-
Well I ended the week great.....I went to the gym today (gasp, on a SUNDAY).....but with the craziness of the week that only made it the second time....feeling good though!0

How to sum up this week, started with a bang, but ended with a whimper. Ran 4x this week, good. Met my calorie s 5x this week, less good. Only did my alt workouts, boxing/bodyweight stuff 1x, even less good. But I was active when I had the chances, and0

I know what I need to improve on. I didn't take excuses when I could and when I cheated, I had my eyes open about it.0
