  • Just weighing in for yesterday. I lost about .6 lbs for week 3, so my current weight is now 200.4. Considering last weekend, I'm happy with that.

    As for walking, today I did 30 minutes with Leslie Sansone's 2 mile Walk & Tone.

    I only did 30 minutes for yesterday 2/21 and hopefully I will get more in today, renovating my house and it is taking up most of my time!!:grumble:

  • For anyone who likes to snack at the movie theater . . .

    My kids and I are headed to the movies this afternoon, and since I can never say "no" to popcorn, I've eaten pretty light today and did some research online in hopes of justifying this tasty treat. Here's what I found out about calorie counts for favorite movie theater snacks. I've inserted a few comments in [ ]. Maybe I'll forgo the pop corn this time! :sad:

    From Fitsugar.com:
    Large Buttered Popcorn (20 cups): 1500 calories, 116g fat, 90g carbs
    :smile: [this actually works out to75 calories & 5.8 g of fat & 4.5 carbs per cup - not too bad] :smile:

    [I almost got one of these at the ice rink last night! Whew, glad I didn't!]
    Cotton Candy (2.5 oz): 300 calories, 0g fat, 74g carbs
    Junior Mints (3 oz): 320 calories, 5g fat, 68g carbs

    Awestfall is inspiring. You are, too, Pegm! I don't know that I can keep up with that, but I've got 30 minutes of walking plus strength training (that really gets my heart rate going) planned for later on today. Woo hoo!

    I was travelling today, which actually made walking easy! I was walking all over the airport. And I even skipped the moving walkway and walked the whole way by myself! Not sure how much I will be on this week since I am away from home, but I will check in when I can.

    Have a great week everyone.
  • Just checking in. Yesterday (Sunday), I walked for 30 minutes and then did a hour of cardio strength training.

    Have a great day, everybody!

    Airports are a great place to get in lots of walking and, if you're trying to make a tight connection, it's a great place to get your heart rate up! Good for you for skipping the moving walkway! It's good choices like that that will help you reach your goal. Have a great trip!

    Woo hoo you are all doing SO fabulous with this challenge! I did a lot of walking this weekend but I seriously don't know exactly how many minutes so I will just round it to 30 ( which I probably did more) but I don't want to give myself too much credit! hahaha

    I am excited that we are already at week 4! This week we will definately reassess where we are and I want your suggestions on what types of challenges you would like to see. All suggestions are welcome!

    Anyone do something great this weekend! I saw that awestfall was super excited and kicked but with the challenge! I kept it low key this weekend...
