    Did a Body Pump class last night...sore today, but it feels good. The class is an hour and then the kids and I took the dog for a 45 minute walk, so exercise was good yesterday.

    Didn't do so well on the water and fruit/veggies.

    This morning had a fruit smoothie for breakast, so have 1 serving of fruits in for today. 3 glasses of water done as well.

    lobster888 & shannahrose- my wedding is Sept. 18th! We just went and ordered the cake last night!!! So exciting! It coming up quickly for sure! These next couple of months are going to fly!!

    I am on glass # 3 right now. I am going to subway for lunch and I am going to load up on the veggies!! Also, a lady I work with brought in a whole bag of fresh peaches! So I am sure I will get all my fruits & veggies in today! :bigsmile: Going to a hour long body tone class tonight.

    Just my moment for the day - the doctors scale weighed me the same as my home scale!!! Before my new scale - the doctor's scale was the bad scale ( always two to three pounds more! )....wonder if this means that my scale is the bad scale now....haha!! I know it is just an accurate reading!!!!!

    Hope everyone has a happy healthy day!!!!!

    My new food this week is scapes. It's the shoot and flower of growing garlic. Last night i chopped it up and put it into a roasting pan with zucchini, baby sunburst squash, and eggplant, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and italian herbs then roasted at 425 for 20 min. SO good! The scapes gave off a light garlicky flavour that was amazing with the other vegetables. YUM!

    i say our next challenge should be "absolutely no calories consumed thru drinks"!
    i gave up artificial sugars and lately ive been putting honey on my tea and sugar in my coffee..... i just wanna end those calories all together!! id rather eat something!

    this means:
    no alcohol, fruit juice, sodas, frappes, lattes, chai... etc.

    just water!

    what do u losers think???

    OK, I promise to weigh in this Friday. I couldnt do it last week bc we were on vacation in NY... and it would have been super discouraging, as we ate tooonnnnss and also drank, which I normally dont do.
    OK RECAP OF GOALS:
    8 glasses of water
    5 fruits veggies
    40 min workout a day
    ...and try something new? I have tried EVERYTHING! I dont know if I could participate with that!!!!

    any advice?

    Thanks, Shanna- you rock!!

    I'm not sure what our goal should be this week... just throwing an idea out there- what about trying a new healthy food that you haven't tried before? If anyone has better ideas, that's cool too :flowerforyou:

    Good luck this week, losers :tongue:

    I saw this thread and was inspired! My hubby and I have been talking for months about trying turnips as a potato substitute and this challenge gave me just what I needed to finally go and try them! We had them tonight with a grilled pork chop and spinach salad and it was great! Boiled, mashed and added just a little reduced fat sour cream and some chives. I highly recommend this for those of you trying to reduce your carbs!

    I feel like I am slipping...after last weekend with my girlfriends, I just haven't made the best choices. Maybe it's because I am frustrated since I was working so hard at working out and then I go an gained 3 lbs last week. Today is a new day (I say that every day) and I am going to Shred tonight and run on the treadmill.

    Still working on getting my water in...and still haven't tried a new item.

    stay strong!! i slipped up a bit myself last weekend with visiting family and going to a wedding shower. but starting monday i just hopped right back on the wagon. just remember how much better your body feels when you eat the right things! sometimes that alone is enough to get me to resist temptation. hang in there!

    I am currently doing Level 3 of the 30DS and actually think it's easier than Level 2---it's a great workout!

    I shredded last night and walked 2 miles, so got an hour of exercise in. Weighed myself this morning, still up the 3 lbs that I gained :explode: but I am not giving up....

    Shanna, I was going to tell you level three was tough tough tough, but that you would love it when you finished. You will feel strong and it is great workout!!!!!

    But, Cooper thinks it was easier than level two! So maybe you shouldn't listen to me!!! Anyway it is a great workout!!!!
