    Today I spent an hour at the pool before work & an hour gardening after work.
    I need to bring healthy snacks to work because there are lots of temptaions there! I did make pretty good choices though & tomorrow I will do even better! :)

    Posting late but Day 1 ( yesterday 12/5/15)
    Drank only water
    Did not workout :(
    Ate 1466 calories. Not less than 1400 but no junk food was included. So that's a plus.

    Must do better. I really need to find and motivation the time to work out.

    Not bad. Within 100 cals is still GREEN. Mercy green, but still green :)

    Personally I try to get up 30min early and do a workout video on YouTube to make sure I get my steps in for the day. I haven't made it a habit, but that is the goal during the next 21 days.

    I went a over the 1200 calories and that is due to junk food. I need carry more fruits and veggies with me. Today I brought banana, apple, orange, soy beans to work so that will be my snack instead of junk food.

    That's a good idea. 1200 cals doesn't sound like a lot, but it can be depending on your food choices. I try to log BEFORE I eat to make sure it "fits" :) Today is a new day!

    I also have found that logging before I eat is the key!
    Tomorrow is a new day!

    I'm heading home from work & will be eating tilapia & veggies for dinner. I drink Shakeology daily for breakfast & lunch was chili & crackers. I did some running with a coworker & learned some things. Like, I don't have to run at a fast speed to be a runner. I felt great afterwards & am looking forward to an upcoming 5k (although not timed) at the end of the month.

    Good evening, friends! I hit my water goal today, but I did not get a workout in. I had a lot of catching up to do at work. I still managed to hit my step goal (11k), so I must have been kicking butt at work! I ate within my calorie range. However, I went way over on sodium. This is a huge problem for me. I have to get it under control, because all this bloating & water weight is tiresome. Oh, and I think the strength training regimen is going to kick in next week. I don't want to start something new this week. I have a half marathon on Sunday.

    Have a great night!

    Great job guys!

    I'm struggling a little bit this first week, but everything will be second nature by the end of this challenge.

    Thanks MzLaLa 29! Lol I will take the mercy green.

    I did better yesterday.
    I ran for 30 mins on the treadmill ( using a couch to 10k app).
    I ate about 1200 calories ( eggs for breakfast, a chicken salad with no dressing for lunch and 2 pieces of fish for dinner.
    And I drank only water
    :smile: So I hit my goals yesterday!
    Hope I keep it up!

    Day 1 - March 13 - posting late :)

    Completed the following:
    Goal #1: Drink only water, with the exception of 1 cup of coffee per day if wanted
    Goal#2: Stay green with food and log every morsel that enters my mouth

    Did not complete:
    Goal #3: Exercise at least 15 times in the 21 days - still on track to complete
    Goal #4: Increase my steps - I moved more but don't know how much more without a tracker... I am just not good at keeping my phone with me at all times
    Goal: Lose 10 pounds- Not complete and the scale seems to be stuck but I believe I can do it!

    Everyone seems to have done a great job with day 1. On to completing the tasks for day two. You still have a few more hours to complete or fail if you are on EST. Let's all plan to complete!
