Emotional Challenge: Hhmmmm... this one requires some thought to get this right! I'll be back!

Just finished my workout today, wasnt very motivated through the entire 2 hours. I kept telling myself, "maybe I'll just cut out steps today, or maybe I'll just stop after I do yoga". But I kept pushing through and finished everything burned 785 calories today. Pretty proud of myself because a month ago I would have just quit instead of finishing. I also weighed today and FINALLY I got past that 244 mark, its taken me 3 weeks to do it, but man does it feel good!

WOW, way to make it happen! I love your determination and your recognition of the change present in your life; congrats!

Today I worked out like crazy! I decided to create an awesome homemade sidewalk off our back deck. I harvested rocks from a mountain near our house. That was alot of up and down the mnt with heavy rocks, then I brought them home unloaded them and got busy digging a trench to put in some boarder bricks I had purchased. I then dug out and arranged the different rocks. I thought I would get alot further but it is about 1/4 of the way done! So I will be back at it probably Monday.

1606 calories burned today!! Oh Ya!! I am beat!

That's wonderful! Sounds like a good day! And I bet when all is said and done you'll have a beautiful walkway too!

What has this challenge meant to you? How has it helped you? Anyone that stands out on your team?

This challenge has meant a lot to me. More than I can articulate without first putting significant thought into it. This is not my answer, merely my place holder until I formulate the words.

*** I hope it is okay with everyone that I am not commiting to a specific number for my calorie burn goal. I just don't want to set the bar too high and feel like I failed, or too low to the point where it is embarrassing. I'm more than a little bummed about the expected 2 week recovery time for my stupid twisted ankle, but I don't want to drop out of the last week of the challenge because then I know I'll be even more depressed. I'm tryng to focus on doing the best I can with exercise and being very careful with portions and calorie intake. ***

Lynda,
Please allow yourself to be challenged- failure is the only way a person can move forward/ learn; the "greats" in this world all come to be after many, many failures. There is NO embarrassment here: I admire you for even being a part of this forum and personally, if anyone gives you reason to feel embarrassed, then they need to do some work on themselves. Start low, achieve that, celebrate, then set the bar higher. You'll be amazed at what you can do!

I truly believe that you can do it; the key is that you have to believe it too!

I don't want to sound too preachy or like self-help book but I truly know where you are; I've been there and I still go there from time to time. Maybe that's why I want so badly for you to face the challenge AND succeed.

Amy,
excellent point. I was and am feeling rather discouraged and I was afraid to do anything half-a$$ed, but I think you are right. It is better to set a goal and look at is as something i will strive to achieve then to not set a goal and risk complacency. that being said, I will try to make it a realistic goal so i don't get blown out of the water. thank you for the kind words of encouragement. they were very much so needed :flowerforyou:

My Calorie Burn goal for the Week: 2000 calories. I figure that commits me to walking daily as well as some yoga and calisthenics that I can do without straining my ankle.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! My husband is home today and we are going to run some errons so I better get my workout in this morning, some weekends it is hard for me to fit it in. What do you all do on the weekends? Do you workout first thing in the morning or in the afternoon/evening? It is nice sometimes for me to workout in the evening, I go on a walk or jog while my hubby stays with our son. It seems some days if I wait until the evening then I lose my motivation. I am just trying to get into a routine before returning to work. I am so nervous about that!
Anyway have a fab day!

I try really hard to keep my morning routine going on the weekends. Only thing is I don't wake up at 530 to do it, I'll sleep until i wake up naturally which is usually about 630ish. I find if I wait til later then it doesn't get done. The only exception is the saturdays that my huby works. When he isnt' home I can usually get my workout done when my son naps, altho i prefer to get er done int he morning and then do a second workout while he naps. My hubby doens't mean to sabotage but he tends to get in the way of a good workout!

don't worry too much about how the routine change will go. the first few days/weeks are hard and your focus should be on getting yourself and your family adjusted to it. workout when you can, try for every day, but do't beat yourself up if you miss one. you'll have to experiment to see what works for you. and before you know it, you'll be in a routine that you and your family are all good with and it'll be running smoothly

Hi ladies,
I am so excited about something. My sisters and I are going to be walking in The Light The Night walk in Colorado Springs for Lukemia. I have 5 sisters so we are going to have a great little mini vaca. My brother Kehley was diagnosed with Lukemia when he was 3 and passed when he was 7. We are doing this in his honor. We made t-shirts and put a big picture of him on the back, he looks so cute in it, he was about 4. I am somewhat emotional about this but I know it is a great way to remember his beautiful spirit.
I have the link for you all to come check out our little team page if you would like.

Since I've been stuck at the same weight for 3 weeks now, so I started looking at what I could be doing differently. Well, I noticed that there are a lot of days that my calories were falling under 1200, somedays under 1000 ( not good I know!!!), not that I don't eat, I do, it just that most of the foods I eat are low carb which also usually means low cal. So, I went to the librar last week and got a couple good books, "The new rules of lifting for women", " Losing fat over forty", and a couple others. Anyways the one thing I read in all of them is I should be eating a LOT more calories, so Saturday I upped my calorie intake to 1500. I met it on Saturday, a little low on Sunday, and I should make it today. I haven't gotten on the scale since I did this, I'm waiting til our Wed weigh-in. I'm kinda freaked out!!! (and very full).

Just remember, it might take your body a bit to catch up with the new plan too.. like, a couple weeks! Give it time, and you'll be fine. :flowerforyou:

Hope this works for you. I know because you are smaller it takes longer to lose weigh too. Let me know because some days I know I should be upping mine too.

I have found that on the days that I eat between 1350-1500 calories that I lose the weight faster. MFP set my calorie goal to 1500 and most days I have a hard time getting there, but when I do it is totally worth it on the scale.

I have a question how do you up your calories. I tried and it didn't work for me. I know I did something wrong but I just don't know what. Can someone help? Do I need to change where it says my weight loss goal or something( ie. lose 1lb a week)? I need to change my calorie intake. Thanks in advance.
