November challenge !!!!!!!!!!!! : >

I went a little over my calories, but suspect I didn't fully account for the various household things I did today. Today was my potato chip day- measured one serving, then put the rest away. No more until next week. Considering I got very little sleep last night, which usually brings on an urge to eat more food, especially starchy stuff, I did well for the day. I also made sure to add some green peas to dinner, rather than just serve a starch. So far, still on track. Look forward to seeing how everyone else is doing. Keep it up- because if I didn't have to report back at the end of the day, today would have been a totally different day. (Oh, and my post is showing its 5:11 p.m., but its actually 7:11 p.m. CST).0

Day 3:
Today was a so-so day for me. I was hungry for pizza but went with pizza burgers with english muffins instead so a bit better choice but I went over my calories for the day. At least I was honest-and I cooked to boot!
Spin class this morning for 45 minutes and I had circuit training class tonight so plenty of exercise today.
I ended up with 3 liters of water today (even one glass so far tonight).
As for the scale, I stepped on it this morning. But I was good and did not step on the scale during circuit training class.0 -
Day 3 was definitely better for me than Day 2. I remained within my calorie goal and I logged everything. I worked out with my trainer tonight, so I'm maintaining the working out 5 days a week.
Flossed again
I'm debating on whether or not to allow myself to have a "free" meal tomorrow night. I know I can't allow myself a "free" day, but thinking one meal a week may work. We are planning on going to the Burger Bar.
Thanks everyone for posting. Just seeing your daily check-ins helps me!0 -
The rules........
1 . My first couple goals will include staying at 1500 calories or so, drinking 128 oz of water & exercising 2 times a day..
2. 1 Good Habit will be to eat dinner early enough to take a walk afterwards.
3. I will try to check in everyday !!!! good or bad .
4. I haven't mastered taking a day off of exercise yet!
Today I ate about two hundred calories over, which I have to be okay with.
Today I didn't go on a dogwalk after dinner as I was trying to take a "day off" from workouts. (took her this morning though)
Today I checked in and feel very good about my day. I really do, and I'm STILL determind to move that scale!!
Today was my supposed "day off"of exercise.
I hope everyone else had a good day today!! Elimay? How'd you do??
I WILL make November a great month !!!!!!!!!!!0 -
Did okay today I guess.
Didnt eat much, I felt really sick.
Which means I didn't excersize either. But that's alright with me.
Brushed and flossed 3 times.0 -
so sorry you are not feeling well :flowerforyou: Thank you for checking in
Please feel better tommorow :happy: 0 -
We had a great day 3 everyone !!!!!! Yay there is going to be so much less of us next month
I stayed under calories
64 ounces + water
Excersized 40 mins goal 30 Jogged again for 2nd time :bigsmile:
will do my good habit before bed
Goodnight challenge friends :yawn:0 -
Day 3--
Drank lots of water and decaf tea.
Went bike riding with my daughter for 22 minutes.
Only went over calories by 120.
Big success--threw away 3 candy bars and wasn't tempted
avoided the candy bowl at work
looked at a cookie in the lounge, but then walked away
I have a huge sweet tooth, so this is a big deal for me. In the past, it was not uncommon for a parent to give me a pound of M&M's, and I would have polished off within 3 days EASILY.
Best wishes to everyone on Day 4. :happy:0 -
Day 3: This was a much better day. I stayed in the green, did 60 mins cardio, and 100 crunches. Ate on time and stuck to what I had planned. Put everything into the log. I've only drank 48 ounces of water so far, but will try to reach target before I go to sleep. It has been a hooray day!0

I did pretty good today, I got on the treadmill for 20 minutes this morning and then walked my daughter to the park and played with her. I stayed within my calorie goal thanks to my exercise calories. I drank lots of water. Good day 0
-
Nice third day. I exercised for 90 minutes and am under my calories. Drank my green tea and all water. On my way to do my good habit. I did however give in to a monster taco craving but I'm ok with that cuz I worked my butt off (581 calories zapped today). How is everyone doing? I feel so privileged to be going through this with all of you! Y'all are an amazing group. Goodnight all

Ok, Days 4, 5 and 6!!!! I am going away in a couple of hours time for a weekend by the sea with my family and my sisters family to celebrate my sisters 50th birthday. Apart from the cardio I did this morning and a good hours walk, the rest of my weekend will be focused around eating and drinking :drinker: I will try my hardest to make smart food choices but this kind of celebration doesn;t come around too often.
Look forward to seeing how you are all doing when I log back on on Monday.
Take care and enjoy your weekends,
Sam x0 -

Have an awesome day challenge friends :bigsmile: I will check in this evening with my days goals .
I remembered this morning that I forgot my good habbit I headed to do it and got side tracked :grumble: oh well that is why I need to make it a habbit. 0 -
Welcome JayJam c:
Glad to have you here with us!0 -
Nice to see, that for the most part everybody is doing well.
For me day 4, again not enough drinking. Stayed in the green, so thats okay.
Going to bed soon, so the sleeping should go well and no snacking that's good.
Last night i slept really bad, but i guess that was just processing the busy week.
Tomorrow we're eating out with the parents in law :ohwell: , so it's going to be hard to stay in the green.
We will see!
Good night everyone and a good weekend!0 -
Dinner is done. If my husband hadn't pulled out the bottle of wine, I would have been within my daily calories. I stuck to just one glass (not that I could handle much more than that anyways). I got in 30 minutes of cardio this morning. Everyone else's goals are rubbing off. I'm trying to drink more water or non-caloric beverages during the day, especially when I start getting hungry. As you all know, this weekend will be the challenge. My husband took the day off of work today, and while he ate chips, I abstained. So, if I can just stick to it during the rest of the weekend, I'll be ok. Trying to avoid temptation while feeling hungry is going to be the challenge. Celery sticks and water here I come. Ok, I can do better than that- healthy, interesting snacks will be had.0

Day 4 was less than stellar. Family is here for the football game tomorrow so the junk food is everywhere (and will be tomorrow as well). So needless to say I went over my calories and did not cook. I didn't get on the bike today but put in 45 minutes on the elliptical and spent about 2 hours raking leaves. I drank 4 bottles of water.0
-
I had a pretty decent day, although I didn't eat often enough or have time for vigorous exercise. I did walk with my daughter to the library, about 6 blocks each way. I stayed within my calorie goal and got a ton of homework done. 0

Elleebell, What a good mama you are I love that your little girl is incorporated in your work outs :happy: Good job!!!!
Hawkeye sounds like you did pretty good to me , Hang in there for the weekend thats tough
Good job amsw!!!!! glad everyone is rubbing off and encouraging :happy: A glass of wine sounds good
There are alot of healthy snacks good for you not eating the chips, I know if I eat one its all it takes:grumble: Hang in there for the weekend they are a bit more rough .
Good job Raven !!!!!! have a good time with family
Hope the rest of the evening is good for everyone :happy: Im still working on everything good so far :bigsmile:0 -
Day 4: I met all my goals today - 60 mins cardio, strength training, logging what I ate, and staying within the four hour maximum between meals. I drank all 64 ounces of water. Today I attended an all-day workshop, and will be there again tomorrow and Sun. The days are long, 9 - 7, but I packed two snacks today and that prevented me from going more than four hours without eating. Thinking about checking in kept me from eating more after dinner which was around 8 this evening. All of you have kept me on track, so thank you!0

Day 4--I didn't get to workout, and I did go over my calories today. But I am going to celebrate the successes...today I received 4 miniature candy bars from students, and at the end of the day I tossed them. It's funny, but I've never received so many candy bars from my kids in one week than I have since this challenge started. LOL
We had a dessert night at church tonight, and I allowed myself 2 treats instead of loading up the plate.0 -
Meh. Today was kinda bad.
Ate a bit too much, and only walked around a lot.
Tomorrow will be better (:
Habit is done

Checking in for Day 4....I probably went over in calories since i had a "free" dinner last night. Went to the Burger Bar and had a veggie burger, no bun, sweet potato fries, and our waitress gave us free dessert which wasn't bad. To hear me say that the dessert wasn't bad, and I totally love sweets is kind of amazing. I don't even feel like I need to eat dessert there again. We got home so late last night, I went straight to bed. Overall I feel like Day 4 was a success.0
