I like this nice simple ease-in challenge. These go well with my "back to basics" goal for the week. Might stray a little on the scale thing, I have found that when I do that I tend to go astray. Veggies - here I come 0

Ok I am in to :bigsmile:0

I'm in... except I will weigh in twice during the week. I bookend the weekends so I am more "aware" and accountable on Saturday and Sunday.
Love the challenges... great to start with!0 -
Okay, here's my check-in:
I had corn with dinner, so that was my veggie.
I did 45 minutes of strength training at the gym tonight.
And my weigh-in will be on Saturdays 0 -
Good evening everyone!

* Exercises: Elliptical 35 mints; Stationary bike 45 mints. I did about half and hour of strength training.
* Days without smoking: 90
* I had a salad (tomatoe, carrots and lettuce) at lunch.
I usually weigh-in on mondays but I'll change it to fri/sat.0 -
Veggie
lunch: lots and lots and lots of fresh spinach, used it as a base for my cooking light chicken tostada recipe, instead of the tortilla
dinner: sweet potato
exercise: 22 minutes of Gilad circuit training0 -
Just checked in and read the weekly challenge.
Um, I had lettuce on my sandwich for lunch...
I'll weigh in on Friday.
I'll be on my feet running around at my job at Pier 1 Imports tonight from 5:45 to 9. And I spent 7a.m. to 12 p.m. at my daycare internship today chasing the kids around the playground and inside the class.
No work or internship tomorrow, so hopefully I can actually have some time to cook a side veggie with my dinner.

Hello everyone!!
Exercises: Did 15 minutes of Jillian Michaels 6 weekm six-pack and did Bob Harper: Ultimate Cardio Body for 15 minutes. Was trying them both.

I would have checked in yesterday, but, well, there was nothing to check in. Barely ate anything because I was just so nauseous, and obviously I didn't exercise. It's okay though, it was my rest day anyway. Hoping for a better day today! Starting off with my chocolate milk 0
