Ok friends....let's do it again. :flowerforyou:

The weekends are hard...so much fun going on....so many challenges for our healthiness and weight loss.....:grumble: :drinker: :laugh: :happy: :drinker:

Again my goal is to weigh the same monday (or tuesday...we might be going out of town for a night).

So my plan:

Keep the fun scale sabotoging drinks to a minimum.....
No emotional eating this weekend!
Friday---at least 3 miles / BodyPump

Monday 4-5 miles

Check in as you can over the weekend....It was really great to hear about your day and your willpower!

    I'm in again! Tonight the plan is to head to the gym after work for a few miles on the treadmill, Saturday morning is 1 hour of Spinning, and Sunday I'm hoping to go on a nice walk...but that depends on the weather. If not...don't know yet. But yes...I will weight the same, if not LESS on Monday!!!:bigsmile:

    I'm in too...

    Went to a baseball game last night and before going ate a huge helping of tofu chicken salad and blueberries for dessert so that I wasn't even tempted by the hot dugs and hamburgers I was so stuffed (oh yeah, did I mention my husband and I are going vegetarian until our Costa Rica trip?).

    Exercise:
    Friday: not feeling so hot, but have been exercising all week, so may take this as my day off other than walking around the city with my kids on an outing. Love my heart rate monitor. I feel like I'm going something, even if it's small.
    Saturday: Body combat and 30 minutes of running.
    Sunday: Run for half an hour to an hour if I can make it.
    Monday: Cycle class for an hour, then run for 30 minutes.

    Food:
    Keep social drinking to one drink this weekend.
    Reduce fatty foods.
    Keep increasing fruits, vegetables, and water.

    My scale keeps playing around the same three pounds, so I'm hoping to at least keep it at the lower number, but who knows.

    Do well everyone!!!

    Happy Saturday!!!! Yep...another good day so far! Went to a 1 hour Spinning class this morning. Eating minimal calories during the day today because my sister is coming over tonight and we're gonna have a few UV Blue vodkas with Crystal Light Lemonade! Shouldn't be too bad. Plus...drinking extra water throughout the day! I wish you all luck and I'll check back tomorrow!!

    Yay Sunday! So far so good this weekend. Last night I had 2 shots and 1 mixed drink with my sister and still stayed within my calories! Sweet success!!!! Today I'm trying to drink extra water and watch what I eat...no exercise today, but shopping with my mom and sister! So...that means some walking! Anyways...I hope everyone is having a GREAT Sunday and I'll check back tomorrow!!!!!!

    AND...new post, new weight on Tuesday!!!!!!!!!

    Good Morning... The weekend went well! I stayed within calories, drank alot of water, and exercised each day. I have been walking A LOT latey (between 4 and 5 miles) and doing BL power sculpt dvd. I did not lose last week, but I didn't gain either.. so I guess that is good.

    Have a great week! :happy:

    thanks....I know I can get out there and do cardio....but it is really going to be a challenge....the dynamics of the group don't hold much for 'healthy eating" consistently....

    I will just keep moving on the beach...playing or walking!!!!!!
