cw: 203
down a pound
Challenges:
crunches - completed
$5 - done
Sleep - tried, but brain/body did not cooperate - the days I tried to go to sleep early I ended up waking up earlier & the day I gave myself time to sleep in didn't work for me either.:ohwell: It is what it is - I guess "two out of three ain't bad"

Glad to see lots of losses!! Small or large, either way, a loss is wonderful!! And to those with some gains...we all have those weeks--just stay on the wagon and things will turn around!!
I did well with the crunches this week, and I stuck my $5 back, but I didn't always get my sleep in. I'm hoping that in the next few weeks I can get my daily schedule straightened out, which will help me get my sleep schedule somewhat normalized.
Hope all of you are enjoying the weekend and I'm looking forward to seeing what Jenn has in store for us!!0 -

Sleeping challenge = fail. I came to terms with my chronic insomnia years ago, but it's still frustrating because I like to complete all challenges.
And, thus, because I was feeling frustrated and a failure, I didn't complete ANY of my crossovers, and really don't have any motivation to do them today.
Hey hey hey!! You seem to be in a slump and I DON'T LIKE IT! Don't consider yourself a failure! And don't you dare give up on those crunches! Don't think you can do all 60 today, me either! But I know you can do SOMETHING! Squeeze in 10, maybe 20! Do NOT give up! 0 -

Congrats to all for sticking with it another week.:flowerforyou:0 -
CW: 257.4!
I had a weirdly emotional/busy week, and I didn't do the challenges. I'm mad at myself for making excuses, but there's nothing to do about it now but do better
I did try to get to bed a little earlier and that's helped, tho!
Great job everyone!0 -
Hey there CCC's I made yramesor33 - Zucchini Lasagna last night...I can never leave a recipe alone..so I added some fresh basil and fresh tomatoes to it. My husband had seconds!! The kids liked it too. The recipe is on the first weeks thread.
I have gained and lost during this month.....giving me a VERY small loss over all. But so what it's the right direction! I think inches have been lost - bright side! I want to share some snacks and goodies with you :flowerforyou: We all life in different parts of the world so I'm sorry if you don't have these stores in your town...but maybe you can find this stuff someplace else.
Big Lot's - Underway drinks. Yummy... I was on the smart for life cookie diet a couple years ago.. I lost 25# (gained it back:grumble: ) they were selling these drinks for $1.50 each! Got them at BL for $2.00 for a 4 pack! They surpress your appetite with vitiamins and fiber, 20 calories per bottle. Also they had Jillian Michaels shakes 180 lots of protein $3.00/ 4pk!
Costco hummus individual packs - 140 cal each...great to keep on hand. most important keep us eating the right size portion! I also bought their yummy mini sweet pepper, I used them to dip in the hummus. One more thing I got at Cost Co, Turkey Jerky. I know the sodium is high but lean protein. I have already made up 5 portions in ziplock bags 80 cal each. I am going to keep them in the car, since I am on the road all the time. Things like this will keep me from getting hungry and making bad choices!
I'm in this to win it!!!!!!! Thanks for listening/ reading :happy:0 -

Alright - I got the sleep in... though not in a consecutive run. I have a six month old and 2 year old. So there were a couple interuptions each night lol. As for the crunches.... not successfull, but I'm gonna keep on doing them today.
Now as for the water, I used to be really good at drinking alot of water. Just a couple weeks ago we moved to a new city, and I can't stand the taste of the water here. Can anyone suggest a good water filter? or Should I just start buying water... (not very enviro friendly though...) I've been trying a brita filter, but it really is not cutting it for me. I've also tried crystal light flavors... not crazy about them either. Ugh...
Now for my weight.... It's not good. I'm up another lb. I'm not sure what is going on with me... but I keep sabotaging myself. I need to just get my butt in gear and make it happen. Just under a month till my birthday, and I want to see some kind of results for then. And only 16??? weeks till Christmas!!

CW 211.8
Up 4 lbs. TOM and salt not a good combo. I am determined this week to get out of this rut. I am going swimming with the family tomorrow and I will get in a ton of exercise.
As for he challenges, I have caught up on my sleep and this week I will get back into my routine. $5, check. Water, some good days, some bad. Crunches - work in progress.
Here's to a great week and great results.0 -

Thanks Jenn. Not wanting to disappoint, I got in 12 crunches for today. I'll do the rest of them next week on top of the new challenge. I punished myself by going on bike ride and swimming today. I know I need to keep working for that scale to keep going down!0 -
CW-166
No loss this week but I'm ok with that since it wasn't a gain and AF was here. I didn't make the best food choices.
kicked butt with crunches adn all my other workouts. Only missed on run in my Half marathon training this week BUT it's only because I woke up very sick today. Sinus stuff is killing me.0 -
CW: 185
Down 1 pound! Hurrah!
Sleep has been absolutely awful this week. I can't sleep for more than 3 hours and I've been feeling really tired and miserable as a result but I will hopefully get more of a chance to relax this week.
Down to 20 crunches left and will get them finished up tomorrow morning, plus I love putting away the £5 each week, I'm excited to buy something beautiful for Christmas.
Keep up the great efforts ladies, just think how much better we'll look.... but also really importantly, feel about ourselves at Christmas!0 -
Checking in for the week!! Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

Sorry I'm not more active on the threads during the week. My internet's been acting up lately and I have to fight with it just to send in my weight each week. :grumble: Anyways, this weeks weight was 142.2! I'm so close to the 130's! Hopefully I can reach them by next weeks weigh in. :happy:0
