    Week 1 was a success, so here goes week 2.

    This week I am going to try and workout for 300 minutes (5 hours), including at least 3 days at the gym. As well as staying under my calorie goal EVERYDAY!

    Good luck to everyone, keep up the good work!

    I already know that I will be exceptionally busy this week, so I think that I will be realistic and back my goal down to 150 minutes this week. However, I will try to include two swim sessions in that. Good luck to all!

    The reason why I go for both the exercise and the weight loss goals is because if I don't I'll use exercise as an excuse to eat more. LOL This way I watch my food AND try to get off my butt. It's kinda weird but...so am I! :blushing:

    I'm struggling a bit this week with motivation. I'm wanting to spend my nights crafting rather than exercising! I WILL get up and moving though!

    Dee -

    I'd love to join your challenge. I just got The Biggest Loser Challenge for my Wii and the weekend here in New England looks like it might be nice. My goal is going to be to do 4 - 30 minute workouts (or more) this week to reach 120 minutes of workout. I think I'm going to shoot for 3 workouts with the DVD, then go for a nice long walk or do yardwork on Saturday.

    Good morning everyone! You all are doing fantastic!

    I'm at 75 minutes of exercise so far this week, hoping to keep pushing myself to do more whether I like it or not!

    Goal #2 has been achieved so that's always good! (My weigh-ins are on Wednesdays so when I set that goal for myself it's a Wednesday-Wednesday thing). :D

    Tonight's going to be a challenge, going to Chili's for the roomie's bday to use the gift card I got when I left my previous job. I've already calculated out my day to keep me accountable so we'll see how this works! The sodium content is WAY high but I'm going to ask the restaurant to NOT season the beef so I believe that will help cut that down significantly, but since I won't really know HOW much, I'm not going to alter it any. :)

    I've walked 1.5 of my 6 miles so far this week. Have a date with Leslie Sansone tomorrow as it's to be very rainy so I won't get to walk outside.

    Have you been drinking lots of water? I see a HUGE difference if I don't get my water in, it's insanity! Keep your chin up!

    Don't sweat that!!
    A. Drink water like she said!
    B. Are you losing inches & gaining muscle?
    C. Next week you will see a huge loss!
    D. Sodium??? Processed Foods????
    E. Is it a bad time of the month?

    Many reasons.......

    Keep doing what you are doing!! DON'T be discouraged!! It is all worth it!!

    :-)


    You are all doing so well, I am having real pain and can't do much because my hip & but are thrown out of p[lce or something. I can hardly walk. :-(
