    I feel proud of myself. I busted out a workout disc i bought at target forever ago (and never used), and did it! I'm sweaty, tired, and probably stinky, but it's worth it! i hope i can keep up this motivation i have right now!

    and the nearest store is 30 miles away??? wow. i live in a small town but we at least have two little stores! but anything else we have to go at least 20-30 miles.

    Welcome insaneness!

    lol now im going to go to target and buy one of those work out videos...

    yep 30 miles away. I live in a pretty rural area. It has it perks sometimes. No restaurants to temp me.

    Welcome Insaneness,and tofuheart!

    Keep up the great work everyone!

    First challenge is pretty simple. I drink lots of water, but I need to reduce the diet pop consumption. Have a great day everybody... Make good healthy food choices and DRINK YOUR WATER!!!!

    Ooh, i am feeling sooooo sluggish today. i just woke up, completely sleeping through all 5 (yes 5) alarms. i am also feeling that workout video i did last night! so i am trying to get the strength and motivation to do it all again!

    nevermorex--good luck on that final! (and not peeing for 3 whole hours :laugh: )

    welcome tofuheart!

    andrea--you are lucky there are no restaurants around! we have a small chinese buffet that i looooove, but now must avoid! i have to keep thinking about the phrase "Nothing tastes as good as fit feels!", except i have to alter it to fit me right now, so i say "Nothing tastes as good as fit WILL feel!"

    Good luck, everyone, on facing ALL the challenges life will throw out there today!!

    **Might I add that 9:54 am is NOT my time! It is almost 12 for me!

  • All I drink is water and milk. Though I can only drink a glass of milk a day >.> which sucks cause I really like milk.

    But yeah the first challege is quit easy for me, but then I think the first challege is suppose to be easy. (Like school, you start taking the classes and they're easy, then the next thing you know you're dealing with vector calc).

    Keep up the good work guys
  • Hi, do you guys mind if I join in?

    I'd like to join... I need some help with support. I've been losing weight, but I am having trouble staying interested with working out. I'm a stay at home mom with no time to go to the gym, so I work out in my apartment with exercise videos. Any ideas of how to jazz it up to keep me interested week to week??

    I weigh 220lbs.

    i understand i am at home all the time too.. (i dont understand why i choose to do online classes again) but a cheap way to work out is to use the big cans and use them as weights or water jugs... or u can always change videos... and always change ur food... dont always eat the same thing every day... even though i enjoy my smoothie in the morning... but the most important thing in a diet is to have a goal... i have a picture of a bathing suit that if i lose my goal weight im going to treat myself and buy...

    well i am not usually up for breakfast...i am a night owl...i also go to school at night. but i want to start getting up earlier. Maybe even taking morning walks. it's going to be hard, because i am not a morning person! but i finally got off my butt today and did something! i just did the second disc of the one i did yesterday and it kicked my butt more than the other one did. i think i'm going to eat a snack and do the other one. since i have a day today that i don't have to do anything, i want to try to take advantage and get as much working out done as i can! lol.

    what are some good breakfast ideas? i don't do cereal. if i have cereal in the morning it makes me sick, don't ask me why. lol. i like shakes/smoothies...any good recipes?

    thats great! im the same way im up till 3 but dont wake up till like 11 12... need to start changing it up so i can work out in the morning instead of the afternoon...

    i have a smoothie every morning and it hasnt gotten boring because i can always change it up... what i usually put in my smoothie is...

    1 pouch of carnation protein pack which is chocolate flavor...
    5 strawberries
    1 banana or pineapple... whatever i feel like
    half cup of non fat milk... or yogurt...
    and a cup of ice...

    just mix in ur favorite fruits milk or yogurt and maybe some protein and ur set... its really good any way u decide...
  • Usually for breakfast I would have a 1/2 cup (before it was cooked) of oatmeal with some brown sugar and a banana. Today, I switched it up and had a 2 hard boiled eggs, some toast and watermelon. It is very filling. Oh and I also have some FRS low cal orange drink too!

    FRS is an antioxidant drink that is promoted as "healthy energy" some people use it to replace red bulls or rockstars in their diets. I use the concentrate version that is only 20 cal per serving. I really like it,because it has helped to make me not as tired in the middle of the day. It was recommend by hungry girl (www.hungry-girl.com). You can find out more from FRS' website (www.frs.com) but be careful if you sign up for their free trial....they will start sending you monthly shipments and charging your credit card!!

    You guys are making me hungry! lol! :bigsmile:

    My breakfast today was one of those mini bagels,light yogurt and a banana.
    That smoothie sounds really good. I might have to try that. I had hard boiled egg yesterday as I was running out the door. That darn egg keep me going in my meeting until about 10 and I ate it at 6:45.

    I have been off of pop since December and let me tell you the craving does not get any easier!
