4 oz. of white wine is only 80 calories...a very safe option for happy hour!

If you all don't mind, I've love to join! I have 330 minutes of exercise already in for this week, as I read that was the week's challenge, but I'll officially join on Monday, July 5th! However, I'd like to go ahead and add myself to the list and such...

Welcome johnjely!

So far I have 225 mins of exercise and the week is not over! I have also carried over last weeks challenge, 100 crunches, and 8 glasses of water, at least. I'm excited to say I've been able to keep up.

Thought I would share an exercise I learned last week, it kicks my butt everytime I do it and I feel like my tummy is a little tighter. I like to do these right after I'm done stretching and warming up for whatever exercise I have in mind for that day. I was told this was a core/ab exercise but I can also feel it in my arms. Anyway, you get in a push position and you bring your right leg to your chest and then extend it back. Repeat on the same leg 12 times and then switch to your left leg. No rest in between. Then you come down to a plank position and repeat- leg to chest, extend back, and switch legs. Now, you can rest. Do three sets, the following being 10 times, and the last set being 8 times. I hope this is not confusing, I've never described an exercise before. I

Good luck to everyone for the July 4th weekend!!!!

Ha, thanks! I'm definitely going to need it. I'm going up to a lake in N. Indiana with my boyfriend's family, and they ALWAYS have great food -- and lots of it!

I'm gonna be gone from Sat-Tues for 4th of July weekend. I'll be in the Poconos in PA with my family, so I'll be fed too much food and drink and won't have a scale til wednesday morning. Whooo... haha. I'm gonna work hard to keep moving all weekend and not eat too much. I'll post my weigh in when I get back from the trip. Crossing my fingers it goes down and not up

My way too saying good bye to all of the excuses and self sabotaging......I rewarded myself with a hair cut these last pass 6mnths have been rough but I am over that it's time to make these next 6 all about improving and getting better!! I promise to stop looking at all the negative factors in my life and start building on the positive ones no matter how big or small they may be!!

On to bigger and better things to come!!

I'm really looking forward to this weekend! My husband and I work almost every weekend, but we decided to take this weekend off so that we could just relax and spend time together. I'm starting Medical School in less than 3 weeks, so this will be our last chance to fully relax and just be together!

We don't have any big cookouts or parties planned, so making good decisions won't be nearly as hard for me, thankfully! And I don't think I'll be craving bad food any time soon. Last night I had like 600 extra calories left from my intense workout with Abbey, so we went to Five Guys and just got some french fries for a small indulgence. Well, 310 calories later, those fries didn't taste nearly as good as I remembered them tasting! They weren't really worth it! It's funny how my brain tricks me into thinking something is going to taste like heaven and it just doesn't....

Hope everyone makes good choices this weekend! I'm 232 out of 180 minutes, hoping to get to 360!! I'm only 3.6 pounds from reaching my first mini goal and I set the due date for July 8th! Got to work hard and hit that goal or at least get as close as I can!

Good morning everyone,

I'm just coming in here to stay accountable over the weekend and not over do it I did great yesterday I didn't track my food but it was a good day breakfast was kind of high but I curved the rest of the day to fit!! I actually haven't logged food or exercise for the last 3 days so I am going to be back on track with that today

Have a happy Saturday everyone!!

whittrusty

How's everyone doing this weekend??

I'm at 293 minutes this week! One more workout tomorrow and I'll meet my goal of 360 minutes!

I'm down another 1.8 lbs today; only 1.8 lbs left until I meet my first mini-goal of 15 lbs!

Happy 4th of July!

johnjely

I'm away from my house and equipment, so I feel like I'll be swimming pretty hard in the lake tonight. Lots of walking, and lounging. I'm also without a scale up here at the lake, so I hope that'll keep my accountable and keep me behaving, knowing that when I get home I'll have to weigh in and won't have any time to try to fix my errors while I"m on vacation

Everyone have a great fourth!

AND -- great job! Only 1.8 to go, and you'll be there in no time!

Well everyone I will settle for 2 out of the3 days yesterday wasn't so great I don't really feel like I went over board as far as eating but I had a few drinks which I haven't done in a long while but hey this weekend has been way better than the last 2 by far so I am very proud of that.

Another goal for myself is if I can't figure how to track it then I can't eat it I wont miss another day tracking this month!!

Still up on weight but I weighed in this morning and my measurments are down and the funny thing is I didn't feel bloated during TOM but now that it is going away I'm bloated is that crazy or what so anyway that leaves great promise for next week may mean even more inches!! Oh and also I put on and closed my size 8 jean skirt Woooooooohoooooooo!!! I was totally stoked by that!!

Have a great week everyone we survived the 4th!!!!
