    It's actually been very good for me to be in this challenge. I'm working out more than I would have, and much more consistently. For instance, yesterday was planned to be a rest day, but when I saw how my totals added up for the day I figured I'd better at least get in 20 mins on the cycle to knock it down some. After all, I've worked really hard this week and didn't want to screw up my progress. There was only 30 minutes left in the day. I would have just accepted defeat before. When I finished with the 20 mins I added 5 more, then kept adding "just 5 more minutes". Before I was done, I'd done 45 minutes :happy: and felt so good about myself for truly putting forth the extra effort.
    It seems like I have so far to go to reach my fitness level, yet logically I know 35 lbs isn't that bad. It doesn't fall off as easily as it used to. My "get-up-and-go" is more like "climbing uphill." It's a struggle. Sometimes it's hard to muster the energy to work out after a long day at work. If I've had a busy day, that means I've been standing all day and my legs and feet ache from the waist down. But when it's a slow day at work, then I've been sitting all day and have lost practically all my energy. Yet when I'm at work, sitting, I wish I could go for a vigorous walk! I am definately working longer hours now that I work for someone else and am trying to build up a clientelle.
    It'll get better. As I get in shape, I'll get more energy. As I make even healthier changes in my diet, I'll get more optimistic and energetic.

    I bought reeboks new running shoes.... I think they're called their fit shoes. OMG I use them on the treadmill and they kill my knees. Wouldn't reccommend them to anyone. I need to get a new pair for my treadmill but I will do this barefoot if I have to. LOL GO MIDWEST!!!!!!!

    Hey hey, here are my stats for Week 3, as I'll be out for most of tomorrow and can't access the forums properly from my phone (luckily I can still get to my diary so I can keep up with that):

    Starting weight: 179.5lbs
    Week 1 weight: 177.5lbs
    Week 2 weight: 176lbs
    Week 3 goal: 175lbs
    Week 3 weigh: 175lbs (woo!)

    On the mile challenge, I've walked/jogged 10.1 miles this week (well, I will do once I've done my walk for this evening; I will let you know if I don't do it and adjust my results accordingly).

    Looking forward to Week 4; I've decided to be a bit adventurous and set my target weight for next week at 173lbs. Eep!
