    Wow, a lot has been going around since I've been absent. How's everyone's challenges going? Katie - how sweet it is to be at 120 lbs!! So happy for you, that is definitely a milestone :flowerforyou:

    Things are finally settling down and I hope to get back into the challenge and start completing my food.

    Well, the water only and 1 new exercise challenge was only a week. Let's do a July long challenge, especially since I'm on vacation for two weeks in the middle and need you drill sargeants to keep me in line. :-)

    No headache today! Yay! We made homemade tacos and fresh guacamole today for dinner and it was fantastic. Anyone trying new recipes lately? Have a happy 4th of July tomorrow and enjoy the fireworks while I consider giving my dog a tranquilizer!

    Yo, what's cookin' people??? is it going to be up to me to set this challenge for the next 3 weeks? I'm thinking something from the 10th to the 31st. should we do a calories burned goal? Calories burned contest? number of workouts goal? You have until tomorrow morning to decide or I will implement all 3!!!

    Number of workouts sounds good or calorie goal.

    You didn't really pick two....you kind of just narrowed it down!

    Starting today, no less than 4 workouts/week and 1000 calories/week. Ends 07/28. Game on!

    Ok. So, just to make sure I'm clear on the concept (Haven't participated in challenges like this one), we must burn at least 1000 calories per week in at least 4 workouts? Sounds good to me. I'm gonna start right now. :) Good luck, everyone!

    Walked around Red Deer all day, carrying the little dude or pushing his stroller. Swam. No idea how many calories that was.

    Sunday: 671
    Monday: 182
    Tuesdsay: 400
    Wednesday: 318
    Thursday: 462 (so far)

    Running total for the week: 2033

    That's with taking my dog for walks, cleaning house, and playing Dance Central 2 on Kinect. Sometimes, I count a busy day at work where I'm on my feet all day, running around like a crazy person, and sometimes I don't. Because sometimes work is slow. Monday was a slow day. Today and Sunday were busy days. Friday and Saturday still count for this week too!

    "Starting today, no less than 4 workouts/week and 1000 calories/week. Ends 07/28. Game on!"

    I only really count Dance Central 2 as a "workout," which I did 4 days so far this week, and I've burned over 2000 calories! Success!

    Anyone else want to tally it up like this? I was gonna wait until Saturday to do it, but then I realized that I'm having a really good week, and I feel pretty good about it! :)

    Geez, I guess the rest of you weren't interested in this challenge.

    so my week last week:

    387 + 300 + 240 + 565 + 425 = 1917

    Did great today, went to PF afterwork and got in a nice workout and strength training. Haven't tried the treadmill yet, little scared but I'm hoping to start soon and get my jog on!!!

    Calories burned 338

    Very impressive Bill, it hit 101 here in NY and I was sweating just standing in it and I don't really sweat, I couldn't imagine taking a walk yesterday!

    I've been burning calories this week, but haven't been keeping track of much. It's a busy week. I'm my best friend's maid of honor in her wedding on Saturday-- my motivation for joining MyFitnessPal-- and although I didn't lose the 43 lbs I wanted to lose before the wedding, I did lose 18, and that ain't bad. :) Wish me luck! I still have to finish writing my speech for the reception! Gahh!!

    Another great day at the gym. Warmed up on bike then went on cross trainer from there I did crunches and upper strength workout.

    Yesterday after logging in my workout and closing up for the night I went outside and cleaned the inside of my car (vacuumed and armour all it). I think I burned an additional 150 calories but I didn't count it in my journal.

    Todays total = 343 :happy:

    Nice job Andrea on losing 18 pounds! That's 2 dress sizes!!! Sweet......
