My day began with a migraine so I stayed home from work. After resting a bit and taking some Excedrin, I felt better and started cleaning my daughter's jungle of a bedroom. I took out every article of clothing that was on the floor and it made 5 loads (f-i-v-e). Ugg! So in between loads of laundry I did some painting on my wall art that I've had every intention of doing for the past six months. It's going to be finished this weekend!
I walked for 45 minutes this afternoon.
I did Pygmy exercises.
I did 400 crunches making a total of 500 for the week (Bonus!!!)
Water over
Calories under
Weigh-in 159.0.
So thrilled to have moved past the brief plateau and get into the 150's on the scales. I had been totally discouraged and was in a bit of a funk for lack of a better word.
Before this afternoon's walk, I did not feel like going. Then I remembered something my daughter told me about how the devil is just trying to keep me from working out. She's right. I want to lose weight the healthy way and to be a role model for others. The devil doesn't want for any of us to succeed in meeting our fitness goals. So I got dressed in t-shirt, shorts & sneakers and headed out. I figured I'd walk for 20 mins & be done, but kept going to 45 mins!!!
Just in the past few days, a verse came to me and it is Psalm 37:5 ~ King James Bible "Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."
I had given thanks to Jesus for my successful losses over the past few months, but had not really asked Him to help me with the journey. Then I said "duh" ... it makes perfect sense to ask God to help me as I go and to help me to stick with it.

Good evening from "slacker-ville".... LOL.
Ran out of time this evening, ate a lotta stuff today, didn't drink enough water.
Tomorrow, however, I am doubling up on challenges to do today's & tomorrow's as well as getting in a minimum 2-mile walk/jog and other exercises. My goal for Saturday workout is 90 minutes total exercise (then maybe I'll feel better for falling off the wagon today... so to speak).
Good night.0 -

Good morning TNT Crew. Yesterday was a slacker of a day for me, but I'm getting back on track today. We only have two weeks left in the September challenge. Two weeks... that's all.
Today I would like for you to re-evaluate and ask yourself if you're on track for your goals.
Also, please think about missed challenge days and check your schedule to see if you can work in a few exercises today to make up for any lost days. They will still count! If you do any make-up exercises (like I will be doing this morning), just post here so that you'll earn credit.
One other thing:

I didn't realize you could make up days...phew that makes me feel so much better about taking Wednesday off. I'm going to make up for it this afternoon.
Yesterday my husband took me out to dinner and I totally blew it with my calories! I couldn't resist the fondue and the potato pancakes and the blackberry margaritas. Oh well today is a new day!0 -
i didn't know we could make up day, either!!
i know i've missed a lot of workout days so i will definitely work some of those back in over the next 2 weeks.
today is my rest day but i'm still going to do my 30DS and probably work on those 500 crunches!
and in other exciting news.... i set a goal for myself to get to 168lbs by the end of september and i'm 1.6lbs away!!
happy saturday everyone!!0 -

That is so fantastic that you are just 1.6lbs away! Way to go lady!0 -
Sorry I hadn't mentioned making up lost days. It's something my captain allowed last month and seems right since we all have lives that keep us busy. MFP & challenges aren't the only things we do. :-) (Although, sometimes it would be nice to just work out and focus on eating right all the time.)0

Today's report:
500 crunches (oops) had written situps by mistake!
Completed Days 5 & 6 of challenge exercises.
My goal for workout today was 90 minutes, I completed 74 this morning and 18 tonight for a total of 92, but I really want to be able to do 90 minutes in one workout session so I’ll keep at it.

HAPPY MONDAY!
I'm still waiting for Week 4 Challenge Info. Thanks for reports & posts! We don't have much longer for this September Challenge so hang in there!!!
I'm not sure we could get any bonus points for this, but here's something we could each take on as a personal challenge and gain the satisfaction of just doing it:
I have a homework assignment for our team (and anyone is welcome to participate) and we can call it our challenge within a challenge if you like. *** EATING CLEAN *** Review the guidelines for clean eating, look through your pantry, fridge & freezer and plan on doing this ONE day. Plan ahead, create your menu & see if you can follow this for ONE (just 1) day. A person that eats clean generally practices the following: Eliminates refined sugar Cooks healthy meals Packs healthy meals Makes healthy choices when dining out Drinks a lot of water Eats 5-6 small meals per day Eliminates alcoholic beverages (or significantly limits it) Always eats breakfast *** I'm doing some googling for additional information in hopes of posting more later ***
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/fitnhealthyccthatsme/view/eating-clean-links-to-info-149295
Please post weigh-in info today or send message if you don't want to post.
*** Will begin a "Week 4 & 5 forum when I get the new challenges ***0 -
