    Day two started well but ended VERY badly. I did 60 minutes of cardio, leg lifts and crunches. Drank all 64 ounces of water, and planned what I wanted to eat for the day. Big but, I did not take enough food to work to last for my long day. I broke the 4 hour maximum between meals goal. There were more than five hours between lunch and my next meal, and that for me is a curse because once it happens my desire to eat trumps my will power. I tried to stay on course, but it did not happen today. I put it all into the food log.

    Had a pretty good day today, but not great. For exercise, I took my daughter to the park and spent over an hour using my hands and feet to make a huge leaf pile big enough for her and two little boys she met to play in together. It was hard work! I was sweating and it was freezing haha. I ate sweets while doing four hours of math which seems unavoidable today, and impending TOM makes me SUPER HUNGRY! Like a constant urge to eat. But I had 28 calories left at the end of the day so I'm feeling pretty good :) I also drank 8 glasses of water!

    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'm okay with it because I burned almost 1200 calories today!!
    Today I went on my dogwalk after a healthy homemade dinner. (watchout! leftovers tomorrow!!)
    Today I checked in and feel very good about my day. I really do, and I'm determind to move that scale!!
    Today I planned on stopping at the after-dinner walk but I pushed myself to get to the gym!! (I can do so much more when my hsuband's at work & kids have leftovers!!)

    I hope everyone else had a good day today!! Elimay? How'd you do??

    I WILL make November a great month !!!!!!!!!!!
    PS: what an awesome group of people we have this month!!

    Hey Guys

    Day 3 has been much better for me. Fairly close to 1200 cals today and still got my exercise cals that I could use later if I need a snack before bed. (I'm in the UK in case you are wondering why I'm always so quick to check in).
    Cardio - did my 30 mins workout at 7am, really love starting my day like that (I wouldn't have said that a couple of months ago!), I've also done C25K Week 1, Day 3 - looking forward to moving on to Week 2, think I'm ready for it.
    Caffeine - only 2 cups of coffee today, other drinks have been green tea.

    Love reading how the rest of you are doing, Sam x

    Day three went a little bit better, but still i didn't drink enough. Long meeting and full speed at work to make the deadline.
    Got todo better at that one.
    Made myself go for a short walk (and because of that take a break of work) and tried not to snack to much when the chocolates came out at the office.
    Stayed below my calories, so thats fine. Sleeping wont be a problem. Snacking after half 9, no problem because im having a late dinner.
    Enough for today, time to relax!

    Day 3 was productive for me. I have been really well behaved with my food intake and reached for fresh fruit instead of processed junk. :) I also raked leaves for close to 2 hours, which I am counting as my cardio. I had to dump the leaves down over the hill so that meant lugging a wheel barrel up and down, up and down. I could feel the burn! I'm still working on my water but it;s early and I feel I will probably accomplish it!

    Hope everyone is having a good day!

    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).

    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.

    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!

    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??

    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.

    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:

    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!
