My one thing to be held accountable for this week is to walk/jog every other day. If, I do more then that is just an extra plus for me.

Monday-Completed walk/jog
Tuesday-Did 100 Situps

    Ok, my one thing is 5 days a week of at least 1 hr of working out. That is 30 mins cardio and 30 mins strength training. Wednesdays and Sundays off. :)

    Thanks for the info on how to find the group! I'm a step behind! My 1 thing for this week that I need to be more accountable for is logging all my food in my journal. I only decided this yesterday morning (Wednesday 12/7).

    Food Logging: 12/7 -- COMPLETE! Yeah! (Maybe it's the little victories???)

    PS: You have all lost so much weight! Very inspiring!

    My 1 think is that I'm going to weigh myself and post my weight every morning. {I am already at work and there's no scale here so I'll have to do today's weigh in later when I get home}. I know weighing myself daily has pros and cons because weight can shift from water weight. In my case, I have been avoiding looking at the scale because I know I've gained and I haven't wanted to show that on here so I've been waiting. At this point the number on the SCALE = my TRUTH. I need to face it, get over it, and start doing some positive things if I expect to change.

    Welcome Slaw and tish! Slaw I know how you feel about the scale and your are right about owning it and moving on. I weigh everyday cause it teaches me my body and what causes it to fluctuate. I don't get discouraged too too much if I know that I am DOING good regardless of what the scale says. The dumb thing will catch up later!!!

    Tish, I am big on journaling too but I am going through a phase right now that my focus is on working out and I just can't do the journaling thing. Believe me, odd for me! But I will be cheering you on!!! I know how valuable it is.

    Thanks for the encouragement. Since I had already missed my morning weigh in today I decided my 1 thing for today was going to be that I would not eat anything after 8pm because I am at my weakest point in my day when I'm driving home from work hungry or sitting in a class and know I can't make a good meal. Reporting in for today. It's 11:12PM and I did not eat after 8pm and now I'm going to bed.

    Let me just say that the situps were hard as my tummy was still sore from the 1st 100 I did the other day but, I pushed myself and got them done. I felt bad because I had a gain for this week. Then again it was my own fault because instead of cooking I ate out almost every day this week.

    Good job! Every time I read your posts this week I wanted to go shut the conference room door and go do sit-ups. It's in me to get moving...

    I actually, purposefully, did two things yesterday. I weighed and I didn't eat past 8pm.
    Day #1: weighed in at 11pm and I did not eat after 8pm.

    Day #2: weighed in at 7am. My office party begins at 7:30 tonight so I may be eating right AT 8pm but I already know what I'm going to have and not have.

    Today's walk/jog was a little harder for some reason. Probably because I was texting hubby at the same time...haha I got it all done though.
  • Also since Sunday is the last day of the 1st week everyone needs to be thinking about what 1 thing they want to work on for next week.

    FRIDAY

    Cardio 30 mins - Did 45 mins and then I was done. Since I have Fibromyalgia, not using as an excuse, my body told me last night that I was about to do damage from this weeks workout levels. SO I am going to have to rethink what I can do. I am in no way lessoning it as much as working smarter. Today when I awoke, by whole body hurt like a tight rubber band.

    Cardio 30 mins.
