    I liked last nights episode, but didnt get to finish it. I stopped at the weigh in and dont know if i want to watch that....I get sad when people get sent home haha

    though maybe i wont care as much yet since its still early in the season and I havent really developed any "favorites" yet

    i didn't like the results of last night's weigh in... i felt very sad afterwards. & can't figure out why people who weigh so much are losing so little weight each week.... it's really kind of interesting. yet, that's just me, maybe?

    My indulgences is chocolate and alcohol. I never logged my alcohol. I stated logging it. Wow, lots if calories Yikes!


    I had peanut M&M - 240 Calories
    Two Margaritas - 608 calories

    Walk at work during lunch - 307 calories

    I am behind in calories, but I didn't want to walk and went anyways. That is a start.

    It amazes me how much of my calories goes to alcohol - have a bad habit of on a weekend (when i ususally hang out with friends) to just stop recording it which is bad

    My vices this week is alcohol and sweets. I actually dont crave sweets all that much, but its something i tend to grab "just becasue" which can totally be eliminated

    Yesterday I had two glasses of rose wine (total of 210 cals)
    two packets of fun size peanut butter m&ms (total of 190)
    thats 400 calories owed

    I did a leslie sansone walk away the pounds video at lunch for 4 miles. according to her website you burn 100-150 per mile, so going with the lesser assumption I worked out 400 cals exactly so i've broken even

    I play in a kickball league on thurday nights so while its not a whole lot of exercise, its still something...and since we drinnk at the games itll hopefully even out. Im going to try to opt for a vodka soda tonight (60 calories) instead of beer. I think ill also start the timer for my fitbit during the game so I can see how many calories i burn during it.

    Good luck this week everyone!

    Two Margaritas - 608 calories


    I love margaritas but damn if they arent full of empty calories. Have you tried a skinny one? I think it drops it down to like 100-150 calories and still tastes pretty good!

    So yesterday I had two vodka sodas (138 cals) and about 100 cals of beer.
    Then I came home and had a sleeve of fun size whoppers which luckly is only 35 calories,but didnt need it so dont knwo why i did it

    Thats 273 calories i owed. We had an hour long game of kickball and according to my fitbit burned ~200 calories during that time

    That give me 73 calories I still owe and will be making up for today during lunchtime workout

    ok, so my internet access is still iffy - thought i had it figured out the other day but no. my vice this week is desserts & candy/sweets and so far, i haven't had any (could be because i way overindulged last week) yet i think it's also that i know i have to work off whatever i eat in those categories so when i think about having something, i ask myself if i really want to work it off & so far the answer has been no.

    what i've found really interesting about this week's challenge is that i know i'm going to a restaurant tomorrow night to celebrate a friend's birthday & figured i'd have a piece of chocolate cake... however i already put it in my diary because i wanted to see how much i'd need to work off (thinking like 500 cals or something like that) and it's over a 1000 cals (!!!!!!) for a slice of their chocolate cake - damn it better be the best choc cake in the world.... and since i don't want to work off 1000 cals, figure i'll either opt not to have it or just have a couple bites of it. what i find interesting is that if i didn't look it up ahead of time, i would've just eaten the entire piece (i'm sure) having no idea how many calories (& empty ones at that) i was putting into my body so know that i know, i can make a more informed choice tomorrow night. thanks, shelly, for the great wake up call! i'm gonna start looking ahead from now on when i know i'm going out to make sure i don't take in too many empty cals....

    how's everyone else's week going?

    Sorry team.
