    Hey all.
    I'm in again. Love Miss Dee and the weekly challenge :)
    So my week will start tomorrow. I am going to finish up last last week strong :)

    This weeks goals:
    1. Week 7 P90x - missed two workouts last week. Nine of that this week!
    2. 3-4 non P90x workouts - try to get out and use my bike.
    3. Pack afternoon snacks for work - seem to be underestimating my snacks during the week and find myself with no afternoon snacks. Which leads to more trips to the treat cube at work which usually has candy and though tasty is not always the best option.
    4. Better control over the weekend. Watch my "trying" from others plates. Small tastes

    Welcome to all the new faces and returning faces!:heart:

    I continue to be inspired by each and everyone of you! I went over calories (4) one day because of an impromptu lunch invite with a special friend. Once upon a time I would have freaked out and berate myself for days. Didn't do that because I KNOW it was just one day. I kicked up the exercise the next day and DID NOT get on the scale : )

    Goal for the week of July 24-31, 2011

    1. Zumba class- 4 times
    2. Kickboxing class-2 times
    3. Drink 10-12 glasses of water

    Everyone, keep up the great work!:glasses:

    Daily Report for Sunday

    I really did Strive for Five Today!!

    I kept ALL my numbers within, but it sure was a struggle and doubt I can do this daily. SUGAR is just not enough!! I eat too much natural sugars. I am sad that I didn't have ice cream, honey or my Bing Cherries. I HAVE to eat a Banana daily because of the potassium and I get leg cramps if I don't.

    Butttttttttt Prelogging my Menu & Activity seems to be the way to do it.


    1. Keep 5/6 Food Diary # ✔ 6/6
    2. No Nighttime Nuts ✔ so far so good
    3. 30 min walking/exercise) ✔ 30 min Stability Ball
    4. 25 Crunches on ball or bed (my way) ✔ Bed ~immediately when I woke up
    5. Daily Check-in ✔ Numerous Times


    OK I am off to get on the Ball & take a shower before my wonderful friend Skypes me!! :-)


    PS Taking Hubby to Pittsburgh Mon, Tues & Thursday this week, soooooo another challenge will be the daily 4 hours driving & Waiting 5 hours. :-( Although Thursday will only be a doc appointment so no 5 hr wait! LOL BUT ya never know!! Any & All prayers appreciated. Thank You!


    I will check back before bedtime............

    I've been really terrible about keeping up with everyone this weekend and I deeply apologize! If I'd actually been busy I would just say, "you understand"! I can't lie. I've simply been lazy. Sitting around playing stupid FB games and watching TV!!

    Oooh, love games.

    Sorry, off task. Checking in. Met my sodium goals and only went 12 g over on sugar which is good for me. Took a rest day, legs are still hurting, but no more sharp pain now. Just going to do pilates tomorrow.

    Hi everyone - checking in before I get my shower and go to bed.

    My goals are:
    1. Eat only one "treat" after dinner 150 calories or less (only if cals available) - Yes had a skinny cow after my walk.
    2. Stay at or below 1400 net calories all seven days. - Yes, I ate 1410 but my net was 759.
    3. Drink at least 6 8oz glasses of water a day. - Yes got 8 8oz glasses in today!

    Dee- Yes, I find it hard to keep my sugar that low when I eat a few fruits in the day. Great job on making your goals today!

    I hope everyone else had a great day as well!

    Love short term goals, they're so empowering!

    1. Go to 2 zumba classes (my 2nd and 3rd class ever) Mon/Thurs
    2. Go on hike on Friday in Payson (it's cooler there than Phoenix)
    3. Get enough sleep every night

    I agree 20 glasses of water really isn't a lot. My daugther has been practicing outside with the flag/gaurd team here in phoenix about 6 hours a day...it's about 95-110 the whole time they're outside...she drinks over a gallon of water a day. They are required to have a 1/2 gallon minimum insulated jug that they refill at practice.

    Dee- Yes, I find it hard to keep my sugar that low when I eat a few fruits in the day. Great job on making your goals today!
    Shapes to come,
    Are u able to do it? I don't eat a lot of carbs and most my sugar comes from Fresh Fruits & Veggies. I think the numbers are too low. I think I will have a Fruit withdraw if I try to keep this up.



    I am gonna plug tomorrows menu in tonight (what I can anyway) But I may have to change that goal to no more then 5 or 10 over.

    How do the rest of you deal with the Sugar Numbers? I am gonna have to look deeper into your Diaries. :-) LOL



    Also, TO LET YOU KNOW I DID DO MY 30 MIN ON THE BALL!! :bigsmile:

    Pinky swearing seems to work for me. :-) Probably cus I don't really swear. LOL


    ok gonna look into tomorrows meny & go to bed. Early drive to Pittsburgh tomorrow.





    Oma & LadyG
    I LOVE FACEBOOK GAMES TOO!! :-) Will probably be one of my goals when I go back to work. LOL
