    ok, I got lost in the vastness of that beast called the internet and joined the GAIN 5 pounds a month club! ouch... well, it's just time to get back on track (for the 10th time this month)... I did start C25K, and the 100/200 crunches/pushups/squats challenge and just really have to commit to posting EVERYTHING I put in my mouth, its so easy for me to lie to myself, eat what I know I shouldn't and just leave it off the list... SO, here goes to getting back under 180 for April

    4/12/11 182 :(
    4/30/11 GW 179 AND logging every bite every day.

    Whoops! My apologies for not having BMK up yesterday, still trying to pull my old info off the old laptop.. Anywho... this weeks challenges are:

    ***Start, continue, or if you have graduated, pick a week, of Couch to 5k (plan found here: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml ) and do the 3 days for that week. I've graduated it, and it made a huge difference. Check my blog on here for my experience with it.

    ***Have a 'fun' day..the weather is getting nicer almost everywhere, go enjoy it, play catch, go for a hike, go swimming if it's hot enough, just do something fun that you wouldn't normally consider exercise.

    ***Drink a minimum of 10glasses of water 3x this week, I know many of us drink more, but at the same time, many don't.. so let's get our drink on ;)

    Ok Weighed in this morning. A day late but hey at least I remembered :laugh: !! I am delighted with the results. Started back with my step aerobics last night after two weeks off thanks to my crazy work schedule. And OMG I could tell I didn't work out for two weeks. Plus I managed to be outside washing cars for three hours today. It felt good to be out in the sun after being locked indoors all day at work and to get off of work to see the sun setting. Got a little sun burn on my arms and chest but it will probably be gone by tomorrow!


    CSW- 274.9

    4-7-11- 272.6

    4-12-11- 271.6

    YAY 3.3 lbs down. I am on track this month!! SOOOO EXCITED:happy:

    If you are struggling and you think you are eating better and exercising more but the scale is not moving make sure you are using portion control. Read the labels of the foods you are eating. Don't guess what half a cup of something looks like get out the measuring cups. If you have never done this you may be surprised. If you have been guessing chances are you have been getting bigger portions and thus more calories than you think. If you can go out and buy an kitchen scale. I have one that resets to zero after you put your plate on so then you can add each part of your meal and reset it so you know you are only getting a serving of meat and one of veggies or whatever you are putting on your plate. Hope that helps you out a little bit.

    Yor are so right about this! I decided today to make this my mini goal for the week. I'm using measuring tools and logging everything (even tiny stuff like gum!) so no risk of being off. Hopefully this week will be a good week for everyone!

    I am so good with the advice but I know this is where I fall down all the time. With the home daycare I barely have time to make my lunches let a lone weigh and measure. I know that during the course of the day my problem is not with exercise but with how many calories I put in my body.

    I AM A HEALTHY EATER IN TRAINING!

    Keep trying,

    Terri
