    I feel really good today. It's my 4th day of going to the gym and I'm feeling so much better.
    I am not feeling hungry. I decided to buy slim fast for those time I feel like I really need to eat. I've had a couple and they really do help make me not hungry.

    So anyways today is a great day and I can't wait to go to the gym tonight.
    For those of you that don't go to the gym get up and clean your house. It burns lots of calories:wink:

    Welcome dbanks80! We're gonna kick that wine and eating out habit in the butt!!!
    I say your goal is to start by ONLY going out one night a week! Have wine that is fine but log what your gonna have before you go. It will open your eyes to if you really want to drink that much : )

    Look forward to helping you stay on track:wink:

    I was gonna make a pork quesadilla for lunch and decided I didn't need the cheese beans or tortilla. So I chopped up pork and onions and green chilies and ate it that way. Saved a ton of fat and cals and it taste just as good : )

    Cleaned alot today, party on Friday, so calories burned there, ran 4 miles. Good food-wise, grapes, egg, and toast for breakfast. Salad w/ LF dressing, yogurt and fruit for lunch. Veggie chili, green pepper and apple for snack after run. BUT THEN, my neighbor :devil: met me at the bus stop and gave me my dips from the election party last night, so I came home and ate some tostitos, 2 servings worth, and the artichoke dip, and a bit of my veggie dip and a few carrots. All in all 500-600 cal. but I had only eaten 700 calories up to that point, so if I STOP! I will be fine, and if I decide to shred or go to yoga tonight, I'll have some veggies, plain.:bigsmile: That's my plan!

    Welcome dbanks....The Stairmaster...my mortal enemy:devil: I have conquered every machine in the gym except that one. I'm working on it though...i've managed to increase the time that I can stay on it to 30 minutes, but I want to get up to 60 minutes like all of the other machines.

    Good luck to you!

    I did ok today. I tried to stay active because I couldn't go to the gym today. I was under my calories so I had some popcorn.
    I felt really good today and my working out has been paying off. I just need to find some healthy foods so I can make a food plan.

    Good Morning Challengers...and Happy Veteran's Day!:flowerforyou:

    I just finished up a 60 minute workout with my trainer. I usually can't workout in the mornings because I have to be at work at 7:00 a.m., but since it's a holiday, I was able to go in early. I burned 953 calories this morning and I'm feeling great:bigsmile: ! I think there may be something to this early working out thing...but there's no way I could drag my butt out of the bed at 4:00 a.m. to workout before I go to work:yawn:

    I will admit to you guys, that I cheated on the challenge this morning...but it was not my fault:embarassed: Because I've been out of town since Thursday, my trainer INSISTED on weighing me this morning to see how much damage I'd done by not working out for 5 days. I was actually a little miffed that he assumed that I'd done damage. I tried to talk him out of it and begged him to let me wait, but it was to no avail. To make matters worse, he weighed me AFTER I'd lifted weight for 60 minutes and consumed 4-16 oz bottles of water:drinker: Hmmmmm...did that even sound like it was going to go well? Well actually....IT DID! We were both surprised that I had lost weight, I won't reveal the amount until our "official" check in date next week, but seeing a loss under those circumstances was definitely motivation.

    Now that I'm home, I'm going to fix breakfast and then clean house while I'm still sweaty.

    Round two at the gym tonight....spinning class at 5:30....maybe:noway:

    Haven't checked it, sorry!

    Well I decided it was time to weigh myself, and I was a smidge under 150, almost 15 lbs. up from June!!!:embarassed: This is why it is so important to pay attention. I ran 2, yest 2 marathons last month, so lots of training up to that point, 18 weeks of it. But I would eat healthfully, then eat crappy on and off all of those weeks and look where that got me!

    So I need to be consistent, in eating and exercising (now that my races are over). I am going to Mexico in a month, so my mini-goal is to do those things until I leave, get to 135 again, and behave on vacation. I always plan on not going crazy, and then I do, and I always regret it, vacation is not about food, it's about family and fun!

    Anyway, I did run M-F last week, and started my 30 day "Making the Cut" by Jillian Michaels workout again yesterday, did it this morning too:bigsmile: , I will run at least 3 miles this afternoon.
