    Yesterday I met all my goals. It took some extra effort to get in 5000 steps at work because things kept coming up, but I still managed to meet my goal. Today will be a little harder to reach my 10000 because it is going to rain this afternoon and evening and I'm lifting today so I will not running as much as I do on a cardio day, but I'm going to try.

    Day 10 Goals:
    Walk 10000 steps (5000 while at work)
    Drink 5 large glasses of water while at work
    Stay within my calories

    So this week has been tough. I have been sick for the first time since starting my weight loss journey and it took its toll. I have decided not to beat myself up about it. I haven't worked out and am using this week as a reset week. I am going to hit the gym and get back in the swing of things next week.

    No weight loss this posting.

    I've resisted weighing before today and was pleased to see a 2.4 lb loss. Yay! I'll record that on the spreadsheet today.

    It's been easy for me to stick to my caloric goals because I don't have any chances to snack or graze all day. My schedule just got even worse, and my days are spent either teaching labs or working in labs (usually a mix of both), where food and drink are not an option. It does make water intake very challenging...and also I'm still struggling to get any exercise that's supplemental over what I do in a day for work. Luckily I'm fairly active, but I still need a way to do a little more. I have some ideas though, so hopefully that will change soon.

    Keep up the great work, everyone!

    The weigh in went very well despite despite my cake days.
    Also, the initial weight on the log was a little old so the loss isn't really from the last 10 days; all in all, things are going good.
    Yesterday I clocked over 5.5 miles hiking but next week I should be back in the gym hitting those barbels so I can reach my other goal of squating my bodyweight!
    Congratulations to everyone for your awesome efforts, for loging and tracking and just moving.
    We rule the scale and not the other way around, keep going and don't ever look back.
    Word of advice, make small changes that you can maintain for the rest of life. Workout in such a fashion that allows for recovery and balance!
    Big hugs to you all!!

    I didn't budge the scale, but that is Ok with me. I was a little of a late starter and have confidence that I can reach my goal weight at the end of the 100 days.

    10-2 Goals
    1) cut down to one cup of over creamed coffee in the morning
    2)Get outside to get some more steps in, it is too beautiful to be inside today
    3) stay under my calorie goal
    4) let my muscles recover from the grueling work out yesterday.
    5) eat at least one more fruit or veggie today, yesterday I had 0 fruit.

    Looking at the totals logged so far, I am so proud of everyone in this group. We are all doing an amazing job on our journey to the new 2015 version of us. I am excited to see what the 20% progress looks like.

    What happens with logging if you gain weight :-( (I got an injury)

    focus on your calorie intake, if you cant workout.

    if you stay under calories you should still loose, without working out

    Had a hard time finding my name to log my weight today. The last time I was there I was at the bottom and not in order. Glad I found it, will be easier next time. Yesterday was a good day. Hit every goal. Goal for today are about the same. I did change on my Fibit goal for steps. Went from 10,000 to 15,000 as my daily step. Water continues to be a problem for me. I find myself drinking way to late in the evenings to get a good night sleep.

    I completely forgot. Woke up late and showered and got ready in 20 min lol Not looking my best today. I will enter my weight in the morning. But I have been doing good on my goal for the week. We have this huge festival in town and I am working out there periodically so It has been really had to keep under my calories. But yesterday was a success!!! Hoping today will be too. Doesn't hurt that I am walking for hours. Slow pace but steady.

    Day 10 - weigh in.

    I'm back to the same weight from 10 days ago. I thought I had it downa nd was losing - but, I think I may have had a few heavy salt meals, and between retaining water and ? ... the weight that had been creeping downward, has returned. 5 days to lose, 1 day to regain. Crazy how quick that happens.

    It's not helping that I'm eating French Onion Soup for lunch. The sodium is just going to keep on effecting me, I'm sure. But I'm so sick of salad this week, that I'm releaved that I'm not chewing on more spinach, cauliflower and dried chicken breast (BLAH!) ...

    Being low carb and using a tiny cafe for lunch options, isn't the most optimal for choices.

    Other than that, it's a light day for me. I have my 40 minutes walk, and consider my body in recovery from yesterday's weight training session. My shoulders are sore, my butt and hips are sore - I know I worked them. Love SL 5x5

    Day 10(2):
    Didn't get a chance to weigh this morning, so I will try tonight and tomorrow morning and see where that gets me! Haven't weighed myself in about two weeks, so hopefully looking forward to the scale moving down!

    Haven't had much of a chance to work out this week with longer days than normal at my day job and a part time job 3 nights a week. When I have off nights I barely want to move let alone go to the gym. I'm trying to get into a morning work out that I can turn into an easy habit. My boyfriend and I both downloaded C25K - hoping to start that tomorrow morning with him as support to get me out of bed.

    Goals from yesterday:
    Log everything -- check
    Stay under calories -- check (but too low, could've used another snack on the way to job#2)
    Work out video - nope :-( didn't feel up to it at 10:30pm.

    Goals for today:
    Log everything
    Stay under calories
    Not go over carb macro
    Have everything ready to go for tomorrow morning so I don't have any excuses when I wake up!
    More water, less coffee. Had a caffeine headache this morning already. One Aleve, then water for the rest of the day!

    Day 10 - 10% of the way thru this challenge!

    I weight in with my original short term goal at 18.6% of my of the weight I wanted to lose by the end of the year off my body. So i adjusted my goal slightly and added another 5 pounds to my short term weight loss goal! Now I'm at 15%. So i'm still ahead of the curve so YAY!

    I have added a step challenge to my goals daily 10K which i did yesterday when i took a 30 minute training C25K run/walk.
    I have adjusted my triple 100 challenge to be more challenging on my non-training days. so besides 100 push-ups and sit-ups day is 100 squats! The extra changes since there are tons of things i could add.

    I need to stay in my calorie goal and avoid chocolate.
    drink 16 to 18 cups of water

    I'm proud of you all we made it this far!
