    Fri 8/5- Thurs 8/11
    Weight: 178 (1lb loss)
    Water: 620 oz (avg of 88oz/day)
    Exercise: 200 min
    Calories Burned: 679

    I'm a single SAHM during the day then a WAHM at night, so opportunities to get a good calorie burn are pretty limited. I decided since I can't always make it to the gym, the gym will come to me! I bought 30DS and will start that tonight. Hoping that once I can finally get in a good workout more than twice a week I can get the scale moving a little faster. :)

    I lost one pound, which I was worried because I gained 2 and thought for sure I wouldn't lose, but low and behold I did. Wasn't the 2 I was hoping for, but it is one more towards my goal. Keep going everyone, you are all doing great!!

    I keep getting kicked off this site!

    I was saying....I failed to weigh myself in my rush to leave this morning. I had to be at the hospital for some tests to prep for my surgery on Tuesday. I will weigh in the am and send to captain. Had a pretty sressful week and I have not been able to go to Y and swim at all. I did eat accordingly and drink massive water as I usualy do. aprox 1/2 gallon a day.

    will check in with weight for this week in am, sleep well all

    Spartans!!!!!!!!!!!!! How are we doing so far in our third week? I've done decently on previous weeks mini-challanges but this one might break me lol

    Wowsers! Staying under on my sodium is gonna be rough. I rely heavily on Lean Cuisine, Smart Ones, etc for my lunches during the week. I did just stock up on chicken, though. Bet I can scare up more than a few meal ideas with that :)

    Speaking of which... Does anyone have any good, quick, 5 or less ingredient recipes they could share? I'm going to start doing a lot more cooking than I have in the past and need some fresh ideas! The only thing I can't do is seafood due to allergies. I'd love anything else you all can throw at me!

    Thanks!

    Well, I have managed, just barely, to stay under sodium for two days so far. I'm doing more praying than promising that I can make it through the week.

    I have a chicken salad recipe that's really quick and easy (also not too bad on sodium too): shredded cooked chicken breast (boiled or pan seared with Mrs. Dash), sliced grapes (I prefer red seedless in the salad), chopped onion, and just enough mayonnaise to keep it all moist. I eat it with bread or make a lettuce roll up, or you can just put it over salad. It's one of my go to lunches for work.

    That sounds yummy. Thanks for sharing!

    I am doing horrible. I am in the middle of doing my 2 weeks of annual training for the navy reserves and being stuck on base all day is hindering my plans for the month. I only have one more week left so hopefully after the 19th I will be able to get back on track.

    LOL Off to a bad start. Yesterday, I didn't even log food...it was my rest day, and I didn't feel like counting calories either. Believe me, I paid for it dearly. I had tummy aches all day long from the crap I ate. Doesn't matter, I'm going to keep up with it and enjoy myself!

    So far so good! Just completed 30day shred day 5 level 1 and then did a 1mile walking video with Leslie Sansone. Just trying to get in my 45mins of workout and boy was I not feeling like it today, wanted to just be LAZY! glad I got up and got my workout in. And drinking my water and also staying under sodium!!

    Hopefully Friday's weigh-in brings me better results this week!

    I am going to be the one who fails on the exercise portion of our challenge this week, I am having a mini surgery on Tuesday. I will not be able to exercise again until the 25th. i can however do a really long decent stretch and strength type workouts when I am up to it.

    However, I will be able to do the sodium and water portion of the challenge...

    Oh god I've been awful for the whole time I was away, couldn't get any exercise in and my sodium pah there's no way I've been under in a million years! Also haven't been able to drink water so my water retention had made me put on tonnes! I'll be suprised if I loose anything this week! Sorry guys.

    I'm so looking forward to today, getting back on track tho!!

    Ugh I've been stuck on the sofa since saturday morning, woke up feeling dreadful - figured I was coming down with the flu or something. Begrudgingly accepted I'd not be running...by 3pm I was in full blown flu mode, terrible sinuses, headaches, aches and running a temperature, dosed up with day nurse and trying to get through to the evening.
    Lost all appetite by 5pm but tried to eat something small in the evening.
    Up at 3am that night to start a whole night of no sleep, passing out and throwing up.
    Spent all day sunday on the sofa, by 1pm I could keep fluids down, managed to keep some clear soup down, and then in the evening tried some plain chicken and some chips.
    Today (monday) I'm still stuck on the sofa, feel dizzy and am running a temperature even just lying down, but thankfully I'm not throwing up any more.
    It's so frustrating though! I want my body to cooperate, let me eat (and drink) without having to be sooooo careful, and I want to get out and do something already...I'm bored out of my mind!!!!

    AAAARGH
    So yeah calories havn't and won't be a problem for a few days, nor will sodium I assume...but water is a bit of an effort (even though I'm REALLY trying to drink lots to stop dehydration...it's just my stomach is so sore that I have to take small sips rather than downing it the way I normally do...
    But yeah exercise aint going to happen til MUCH later this week....

    Having an awful week. :-( Have like zero motivation, and also have no healthy food in and no money to buy any with until Friday so having to just eat what we have like pasta, frozen chips, etc. :-/ Little one is being really fussy this week which makes me feel all BLAH and stressful too.
    Had a swim yesterday and have Zumba tonight so it's not totally awful I suppose!

    I know it's late in the game, but I just joined MFP yesterday and saw the August challenge posted on the newcomer's page. I'm in! I've lost 4 pounds since yesterday (water weight, but I'll take it!) I really feel that if I push myself and have a team goal to work towards as well as my own, that I can lose another 6 by the end of the month. :)
    So glad I found this site and this challenge!
    GO RED TEAM!
