Logging for @tmn2016 (She can't access the thread)
Three things learned from the challenge:
1. Trying new foods
2. Awareness of exercise amount (easier to see on the spreadsheet)
3. Eating better
Two things to do:
1. Improve workout (add variety)
2. Continue exercise target if at least 500 calories per day0 -
3 things learned from this challenge;
1) I enjoy being part of a team..I like the accountability and reaching a goal with like minded individuals.
2) the early week of no white processed food and sugar..had no idea that was what was holding me back..even small amounts. But since doing the challenge I broke through a plateau. Also I'm not as hungry since giving those up.
3) exercise is a need; not a want. It gives me better rest and more energy throughout the day. I also need to listen to myself and recover from time to Tim.
Things I would like to improve;
1) finding more healthy subs for things I crave.
2) water intake...0 -

2. I am better at weighing myself. I use to do it daily and sometimes mess myself up about what it said and now I do it weekly on tuesdays.
3. I am much better at including exercise in my week.
1. I need to improve my water intake. I will do really well one day and the next not so much, it has gotten a lot better, but I still want to make sure I am more consistent with it.
2. I work in a retail enviroment and my whole schedule changes everyday so I need to get better at eating at a semi regular time better. Sometimes I can go wayyy to long without eating something and I'll get a horrible headache and then I'll over do it when I finally get to eat.0 -

Work on:
1. Finding new exercises now that I'm in PT for my knee. I can't run/squat/dance/hike, most likely for the rest of the challenge, so I need to find other options.

I have not really been accountable for my food diary, I do post everything i actually eat, sizes are off, so I am not getting an accurate read on that. That is one thing I need to change, also eating healthier. I know what I need to do I just feel I have no self control, (I see cake, I eat cake.) Which I need to change as well.
1) Ever since starting this challenge I have been at least trying to get some form of exercise on mfp, whether it be walking to the park or actually going to the gym.
2) I have tried to incorporate some healthy meals, granted its not an everyday thing but it is a lot better than before. 3) The third thing that I have learned from this challenge is that I have a support group that can give me motivation, I am not just doing this on my own.0 -
I've been accountable with:
1) Logging in everyday
2) Staying within my calorie allotment

Need to work on:

I have been accountable for:
1) logging in everyday even if I can't log all my food
2) eating heathy even when I can't cook dinner

I have to give most of my success to my trainer, sister and best friend! Without her I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am today! Thanks lupie7770 -

Things I have already gained from this challenge:
1. Making a daily decision to stay active even if I don't feel like it.
2. Eating more fresh vegetables
3. Drinking more water
Two things I would like to achieve by the end of this challenge:

2. Make exercise and eating right part of my lifestyle, instead of something I do for awhile and then eventually stop doing.0 -
Accountable:
1. Consistent logging
2. Being part of team makes me work harder to accomplish my goals

1. Really pay more attention to my macros, protein especially so I hit my targets most days if not everyday
2. Eat more fruits & veggies (yuck) consistently!!!

Iand accountable to myself for...
1 - what I choose to put on my plate and in my mouth because I am going to log it. I cleaned up my cupboards after the sugar challenge and donated a bunch of convenient crappy (but delicious) sugar loaded, empty calorie, good for nothing but thigh rub food (damn I miss my poptarts!!) to the food bank. I get fresh fruit and veggies from work, so I have been carefully choosing my dry goods to keep myself on track.
2 - How much exercise I get and the shape/condition of my body. I just slid into do nothing mode after my ankle/achilles injury. The challenges and dances have made me work muscle groups I haven't moved because of the irritating pain and aches. I can now bend my ankle almost normally again without it freezing in a Charlie horse! I am, still not going as deep as I would like on squats but getting stronger and more flexible everyday. My choice - move it or lose the mobility again.
3 - Prepping and packing food for work. Too much forgetfulness and procrastination makes for bad decisions. I keep "good food/snacks" in my car (Almonds, edamame, walnuts) so if I fail to grab my lunch & dinner when I leave for work I don't just buy junk from the vending machines.
By the end of challenge I would like to...
1- Improve my sleep patterns and improve my water and alkaline balance.
2 - Fit comfortably into my size 10 clothes and donate everything that is too big0 -
Accountable to self:
1- Weighing weekly and posting it
2- More active: longer duration and trying out different exercises
3- Less excuses, and joined a gym
Want to:
1- Consistent and improved logging
2- More weight resistance exercises0
