    Am feeling empowered. Ate out tonight and chose steak & new potatoes. Might not sound like a big deal but for me this is all about making the right choices. No complicated diet plans,just good old fashioned cal counting and a tad of common sense. I'm done with messing up my metabolism with crash diets - will be happy with 1lb a week once my system has settled. Very motivating to see my name on the board. Thank u for taking the trouble to do that :flowerforyou:


    Padkat - I love your post. Way to go! I am in 100% agreement with your philosophy. I am doing the same. I am tired of fad diets. I am taking this one meal at a time and 1 lb at a time.

    Keep it up!

    SO today I worked it out. I hit the treadmill and instead of watching the clock for the whole time I paid attention to my distance and just ran. Normally when I hit the 5 min mark because I'm watching the time my mind plays tricks on my and I psych myself into thinking I can't go any longer. This time when I wasn't watching the clock I ran for 15 min and did a mile and then some! I was so proud of myself!!!!

    I downloaded a new running app, Nike+GPS. It's awesome. You can post your run on FB and get real time cheers when you friends either like it or make comments. It's super cool!!

    Water water water for me this week!!!

    I ordered 30 Day Shred and Dance Central yesterday. Thought I would switch each day. Can't wait for them to get here.

    I ordered 30 Day Shred and Dance Central yesterday. Thought I would switch each day. Can't wait for them to get here.

    Just an FYI shred is meant to be done 30 days straight for the best results. I know many people switch off though. My first full week of shred I lost 5lbs ( withmy regular 5 day gym/cardio) the gym cardio i usually do, the most i lost was 1.5-2lbs

    I stopped shred on day3 level just because i didnt have time when i got home, but i started again.

    I am on to level 2 of IFIT for my elliptical, and I think that I will try to add 5 min a day using a jump rope.

    **THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE:

    Push yourself to try something new or do something different to mix up your workout routine. If you normally run, then try a workout video. If you normally do all cardio, try adding some weights. If you normally walk at a slow pace on the treadmill, try speeding up or increasing the incline. Do something different.

    If you continue to do the same old thing every day, your body will get used to it and will stop changing. Challenge yourself to do something new. Let us know how it goes.

    For this week's challenge I am going to add some strength training to my workout routine. I have learned to love my elliptical since this challenge started but I do need to start mixing other things into my weekly routine.

    Followup on last weeks challenge: Did not do my "start" which was waking up early to exercise (need to move that pesky alarm clock so the snooze isn't so conveniently close) but did do my "stop" which was eating when I get home from my retail job late at night! It felt good to go to bed and not feel guilty about a late night snack, and its much healthier.

    I'm hoping to incorporate my strength training from this week's challenge and getting up early from last week's challenge into a new productive habit.... :happy:

    Oh dear. All I wanted to do was create a quote and now I have posts all over the place :blushing: SPARKLE thank you for your support. My thoughts are that my extra weight didn't arrive overnight so it isn't realistic of me to expect it to just melt away overnight (nice as that would be:wink: ). Good luck in getting to goal. :flowerforyou:

    is it crazy that i like it that the week flies by just because I want to weigh in? lol I think what makes it more exciting is the fact that I've been consistently losing..little by little, but consistently. yay for weigh-ins!
