WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE:
10 Water -Working on glass 12!
20 Minutes Resistance Training- Haven't done this yet, but I'm going to do some "quickie" workouts (quickiechick.com)
30 Minutes Cardio-shoveled for a half hour today.
Under cals for the first time in a few days! Whoo. I made up for my last few days of binging by being way under, but I didn't really have the desire to eat anything else today.0 -
I have been MIA since this challenge started. I am recovering from a cold that knocked me down on New Year's Eve, that progressed to bronchitis, and additionally the excess coughing triggered a flair with acid reflux.
I weighed myself today 194 down 2 pounds. I should be happy with a loss, but I know it is due to dehydration and lack of appetite, eating soup, and saltines for about 5 days...very afraid of my weight gain that usually follows after I am sick.
Today was the first day back to eating real food again. Way too many sweets today, way over on calories, though, I still can not resume my cardio workouts without hacking up my left lung. I did some stretching and walking today for 20 minutes. I want to make it up to 30 minutes tommorrow. I have had over 10 cups of fluid today. Tommorrow is a new day. Looks like there has been lots of success already in the challenge. Way to go everyone and keep it up

I am soooooooooooo behind on posting! I am so sorry! I think I have only posted once with my "beginning" weight. If someone could update for me that would be great.
I started the challenge at 145.6 and now I'm at 144.6... so a pound lost since the challenge began... only 9 more to go!0 -
PS... I went from 166 to 146 during Posh's Christmas challenge... from the end of October to Christmas... so 20 lbs in 2 months... Stick with MFP- it works... and is still working for me!!! Good luck everyone!0

Tuesday Challenge: hit all the goals for Tuesday. Yay! Had to go to bed early though to keep from eating in the evening!
WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE:
10 Water -did this already
20 Minutes Resistance Training (weights, pushups, etc...you choose, mix and match if you want)-did a 53 minute cardio sculpt class. It's so fun but can be soooo hard. We do light weights but tons of reps (for example, today we did 100 shoulder raises with 3 lb. weights-my shoulders are crying!) and while we are doing the weights we are doing squats, lunges, and leg lifts. I'm not gonna be able to take the stairs tomorrow. I usually do this class on Mondays and Wednesdays but haven't been in over a month because of my son's surgery and Christmas break.
30 Minutes Cardio-then I went and did a 45 minute spin class!
Under Calories (I hope to be, I burned a ton of caloires and I don't eat all my exercise caloires back, but we are having ribs for dinner)
Posh, thanks for taking care of us!

Ok girl..... That's it... You are officially MY HERO!! I'm tired and SORE just reading all that you did! Whew... ouch.... Going to the restroom is going to hurt tomorrow!! lol.. I always hated trying to sit down on the toilet after such hard workouts. I would almost just fall onto it!
I AM sore today! My legs are good, but boy my butt hurts and my shoulders are killing me. So all good! finished under calories for the day but I'm a starvin' marvin today so it's gonna be tough.
Thursday Challenge:
Water-no where close, need to up this big time (I've had plenty of coffee though-stuck at a meeting for 3 friggin hours!)
45 Minutes Cardio-done, got in 47 minutes before the meeting -30 minutes elliptical and 17 on the stairmaster (the gym was PACKED-it was raining here this morning and all those New Year's resolution folks had to go somewhere thus the stairmaster)
under calories-don't know yet. I have 1689 to play with today but like I said, I'm hungry!
Bonus: not yet, but the only stuff yet is stuff I don't like so even if I don't get to it yet, no worries on that front. Have a good day everybody! And we had to do takeout Tuesday night because of a school meeting so no going out tonight. We'll have grilled chicken and sauteed squash (can you hear my kids whining yet???) and by the time the 15 year old gets home from a 3 hour swim practice, he has zero desire to go anywhere. Maybe we'll play Jeopardy on the wii though.0 -
mark 1:happy: pound off for me please! on my way to better days!0

I confess I haven't been keeping up with the mini daily challenges. i really must up my water intake! So today Thursday, i am going to guzzle away. logged 55 minutes of cardio today! Cookies and candy are all out of the house! The cheese, chips and crackers, slowly but surely are going away. Happy to say, I'm doing very well with them. I know what a serving is now, and I take only half! I know those lays potato chips aren't the best choice for me, but learning to cut my portions down is a very good step in the right way, and I'm staying under my calories!0

I have to confess to Im having a hard time keeping up with the daily challenges myself. But today I have drank about 7 glasses of water so far. This morning I did a thirty min workout on my Wii Jillian Michaels game. And I did a ten min run. So far Im doing fine on my food journal for the day. I did measure today and I have lost 2 1/2 inches in my belly!!! Ive lost two pounds so far, 8 to go so excited to make this challenge. WE CAN ALL DO THIS!!!!!!0

Would it be too late for me to join this now? I just got an account today and I'm planning on weighing in on Mondays, so this would be a perfect way to make me accountable for not sticking to my plan on weekends...

THURSDAY CHALLENGE:
10 Water - Not quite complete. But I'm not going to bed until I finish. I'm at 9 right now.
45 Minutes Cardio - I only got 20 minutes, but oh well.
Under Calories - Yes!
Bonus: I still have candy in the house, but honestly I don't have trouble with cravings of the candy and feel wasteful just throwing it away. I can easily just eat one piece and call it a day. What I did have to do was throw away the spinach dip I got at Safeway the other day. In the last 6 months I haven't had problems controlling any food intake until that spinach dip. I literally ate so much of it the other night it made me sick. It is now in the trash. And I didn't go bowling.. But I did go to the zoo today with my mom, cousin, and my boyfriend. It was a lot of walking
And wow at the spreadsheet! That's awesome!0 -
Ok everyone, we need to thank MrsSeaShell for such an AMAZING job at the spreadsheet!! :drinker:
:flowerforyou: 
As she stated, be kind and remember she is human, so if there is ever a mistake she did not do it on purpose. Just send her a kind message and I know she will do anything she can to fix it for you!
There has been suggestion, by LoveMe, to make MrsSeaShell's life much easier, and I think we should all try our best to do this!!
You can still weigh in ANY DAY YOU CHOOSE, but if we can PLEASE try to POST our weights on MONDAYS I know this would help her so much!
For example:
Say your weigh in day is FRIDAY (tomorrow)... Go ahead and weigh in , but don't post it here until MONDAY, that way MrsSeaShell isn't scrambling around this whole thread trying to find everyone's information!
Does that make sense?? I hope so!! And, I also hope this is a step towards making things even easier for her.. (she is amazing and has never complained, we are just thinking of nice things to do for her!)
Ok, well I'm off to bed for tonight!
Hugs,
Tausha0 -
Wow, MsSeaShell - you rock! That spreadsheet was impressive!
