    So I am really glad TODAY is wednesday because I had it in my head that yesteray was and I blew the challenge yesterday. Got the water in, didn't snack after dinner but when my best friend's teenager totalled her car on the 405 Freeway that kind of blew any exercise plans for the evening....

    At least today I get to do a DO OVER and actually can make it today. FYI - the teenager is OK, just a very bruised up knee and slight chemical burns from the airbag deploying on her arms. She will be fine with a few days rest.

    Good luck all
    Dawn

    I'm pretty sure I'm gonna come in far too low in terms of calories today with all that exercise! I still have 1117 cals left with only dinner left :S any suggestions are welcome! I don't wanna create too big a deficit! I'll just binge tomorrow if I do!

    Hello everyone! I did NOT want to get up early this morning, however I did just so I could get my bellydancing in before I had to get ready for work! I did a walk on my morning break & also walked on my lunch break. I have 8 (8 oz) glasses of water in already.

    I'm planning to do another walk on my 3pm break, but it is SO HUMID out today! I'll still do it. Tonight is my Zumba class & then I'm either going to go for a bike ride after that or do C25K. It all really depends on how hot it still is outside!

    I also have to do my crunches & squats today! However my abdominal muscles are killing me! I sneezed earlier & thought I was going to hurl! :noway: :laugh: :noway: :laugh: :noway:

    30 min of Pilates
    27 min of cardio
    30 oz of water so far and getting ready to chug another 20oz.
    I will be going walking for about 30 min tonight after church, and then I will try to squeeze 15-20 min more pilates in.

    Did a 2 mile walk this morning and have had 88 ounces of water so far. Going to be doing a 4 or 5 mile walking video soon (haven't decided which one yet!) There will be more water to drink, too. Good food choices so far today.

    Hello hello :) Checking in early just in case the power goes out again.

    I'm on my 3rd 28oz bottle of water so far. Calories and sodium are in check. I have done 100crunches, 75squats, and my w8d2 c25k so far. But bad lightening storms cause me to stay inside but the power keeps going off, so not sure how long it will be flickering on and off...trying to get this 5mile video in and it's not working out so well... Hope your day is going better than mine. XoxoxoX Bru

    Oh, and I took a sneak peak at the scale...hope it stays close to that number (or lower :wink: )

    :happy: It is looking like a pretty Skinny Wed by all! Great job on the outstanding workouts! I am jealous! With a bum foot all I can do is pilates and weights. Oh well....I will have two great hoofs soon! I see that most of you tried to squeeze an AM workout in right off the bat. That is a great idea! Don't you find you have more energy the rest of the day when you do this? I think it is totally worth the effort....it does get tricky if you are working to try to get that in before work. I like how some of you get a walk in at lunch during work. There is no crime in shutting your office door and hitting the floor for a few minutes of exercise during your breaks. I bet you will feel more productive as a result.

    :bigsmile: I had a pretty good Skinny Wed. I doubled my exercise and my water (still chugging) and was careful on my cals and logging everything in. I skipped the snacks which are my greatest challenge. :blushing: All in all, feeling pretty good about today! Glad we got over the "hump" together! Hope to see you at the Skinny Sat. Challenge. There will be a new thread posted on Friday night. Any mini goals for this week? My minigoal is to keep the snacks to a minimum! :wink:

    Well I burned over 1100 calories today & had 16 (8 oz) of Water! Woohoo! :bigsmile:

    I started my day with my belly dancing before work, then 3 short walks on my breaks at work, then it was off to Zumba class at the gym, then I did my C25K wk2 around my neighborhood, then came home and finished it off with 50 crunches & 25 squats! Wow I smell! Gonna go hit the shower! :laugh:

    See you all for Skinny Saturday! Saturday is the Bix 7 (7 mile run) I'm doing it with my 13 year old neice! Its a very hilly course & its been humid as can be here in the midwest. So its always a hot one for this race! So for the rest of this week I'm going to continue doing C25K. That's my only goals at this point.

    Hello All,

    Thanks for the challenge. I didn't fail miserably but things got complicated as I tried to complete everything. So here goes..


    Goals:

    Get in 2 - 45 minute cardio workouts! - DONE! I wanted to do my second workout when I got home from work, but my son would not let me work out...he kept trying to run into my legs and head butt me...so I got angry and quit. I put him to sleep after his bath, but I ended up passing out at that time. BUT I did wake up at 2am this morning and I got er dun! LOL. I couldn't do full intensity though since it was 2am and I live on the middle level of an apartment. :(

    Drink 2 Liters of water! (I drank 1 yesterday so I am doubling it) - I only got to drink 1.5 Liters and 33.8oz (I actually left my water bottle at work so it was hard for me to determine my intake after work)

    Log all of my food intake! - DONE and I was under my calorie goal!! YAY!

    Get at least 6 hours of sleep - I got about 4 hours of sleep considering I woke up at 2am and decided to get in my missed workout.

    Over all I did well yesterday. Did the 5 Mile walking video and stayed under my calories a bit--wanted it to be a bit more left over but that's ok.
    My mini-goal is to not blow the whole week at the baseball game Friday night! (Skinny Saturday wll be a GREAT motivator!)

    Whooo Hooo I am so excited this AM. This was the first time I did any of the one day challenges and boy am I glad I did. I got all my water in and stayed high on the motivation to not snack after dinner (which is a big problem for me). I was only able to get my normal workout in of 45 min due to my knee feeling off and didn't want to push it and hurt myself but it all paid off. I stepped on the scale this AM and hit ONEderland..... Whoop Whoop :happy: :flowerforyou: :tongue: :happy:

    Great job to all!!!
