    Day 1/21 complete and a success! A 30 minute eliptical workout and I stayed in my calorie limit! I avoided a snack right before bedtime! Day 2-taking a short break every 2 hours at work to stretch and do 10 lunges, 10 wall push-ups and 10 squats. Strength training while working!!

    Love this idea. I'm going to start doing some today. Gonna close the office door and do 30 pushups, 20 squats, and some wall sits every 2 hours. THANkS!!

    By the end of the day I had in 40 lunges, 40 squats, and 40 push ups! A good little strength workout, and if I do it every day it will add up to lots of squats and lunges for the week in addition to my regular workouts! Happy that you've joined me in this, let me know how you like it.

    I'm doing pretty well with sticking to my diet and keeping under my calories, so here are mine:

    1. No soda whatsoever.
    2. No desserts, even if they're low calorie ~ the sugar isn't worth it.
    3. Practice ballet at home during the week on the days you don't have class, or do some sort of muscle-building workout to improve leg strength.

    My 4th day of 21 was a good day, energy level was good all day, hit all goals but the last 15 mins of Bible or prayer which i do before bed. Hope everyone is having success with their own challenge. Thank you all for the inspiration and some great goal ideas!

    Reporting in:

    Day One: - stuck to my calorie and water goals, exercised for 20 minutes
    Day Two: -under calorie goals, water fell a bit short, no exercise (I think Thurs/Sun need to be days of rest---Thurs way too busy)

    I haven't been hitting my sleep goals---I really have a hard time going to bed before midnight and getting up before 9am. I also think I have sleep apnea, and need to buy health insurance and see a doctor- so I'm going to swap goals and replace the sleep goals with "setting up health insurance and seeing a doctor" in the next 21 days.

    Therapy goals: I found a place I want to go (online!) and just need to schedule appointment (another need-to-find time thing).

    First weigh-in day with my friend tomorrow!

    Tough day for me. Last minute business trip yesterday and today. Ate fast food on the run. Pushed me way over on all food numbers. However, learning experience on just how fast the fat and calories add up. Back on track tomorrow - I'll double walking tomorrow and Saturday.
