I think it would be wonderful to have a daily check-in thread. We all have very specific deadlines for our events so staying on track is very important (to me at least).
Yesterday I worked out: Strength Training (Total Gym) & Treadmill
I ate clean almost all day until dinner. Yesterday was my daughter's (the bride) birthday. We had a BBQ. I blew it.
I was down a tiny bit on the scale today so it wasn't a total loss, but I really didn't like the way I felt after eating that much food.
My goal is to make better choices, and when I allow myself a treat, to not stuff myself.
I'm going for a clean eating day today.
I want to lose 9 lbs by July 15th. Loss to date: .2lbs (not much but right now I'm building muscle and things are really toning up.)

I really need this. Yesterday I had a full bottle of wine and then a piece of Key lime pie. Oops So for at least 60 days I want to be wine free. God I hope I can do it!
Also call me insane cause I decided to start the Insanity Program. Today was day 1 and I was panting during the warm up. haha
I can't wait to try tomorows workout to see how I do.
My eating today has been good and clean. I know I can keep it going until I it the pillow.0 -
Today I'm going to they gym AND I'm going to take some much needed me time and read. LOL sad that the second one is such a huge goal!0

Not a good start today,... i worked out this morning.. but then i gave into some M&Ms this afternoon!! Yikes!
Ready to get back on the ball after 2 weeks of slacking!0 -
Yesterday was much better. I worked out - Cardio. I ate mostly clean. I made one bad choice yesterday not including the chocolate cake I had for dessert. I actually don't ever want to deprive myself of a treat once in a while or I will give up. The cake was a small piece and I really enjoyed it. I ate something earlier that I wish I had said no to but all in all it was a good day.
I'm now down 1.2 lbs. ~ 8.2 lbs. to go.
79 days until we leave for Hawaii.0 -
I did pretty well yesterday as well, I was under my calorie goal. The worst thing i ate was probably the oatmeal raisin cookie that my fiance's mom made for us (torture, I'm telling you)
Did day 10 of P90X.
Was feeling great!
Then I went to Banana Republic and tried on some clothes. None of which fit. Boo.
I'll be anxious when the lbs start to drop.. if ever.0 -
This morning I did 25 minutes of DVD 2 of Insanity Program. It was insane. Definitely more for someone already in shape. But I won't stop. I'll give it my all and eventully I will be able to keep up.
My eating is perfect so far. For dinner I'll probably have chicken, brown rice and veggies.
Good job ladies and keep at it!0 -
Yesterday was a good day. I did cardio on my treadmill. I followed my eating plan. I even included a treat after a small dinner. I felt completely satisfied all day and enjoyed dessert.
Today will be a little bit harder because we have lunch provided by the company for Administrative Assistant's Week and my husband is home for dinner today. We often have a date night and go to dinner when he is home. Oh well. This is something I have to live with the rest of my life. I will make good choices as often as I can. I will exercise as often as I can and I will allow special treats and date nights and try to make good choices and watch serving sizes. I think this is doable!
I fear being skinny fat so I am really working on strength training 3 days per week. I would rather weigh a few more pounds and be solid and strong rather than be little and soft.
I'm down 1.4 lbs. ~ 8 lbs. to go.

Great job diddyh!
My day yesterday was again awesome. I did a good workout and my diet was perfect. I when to bed even earlier then usual and had a great sleep.
Today soo far is going the same way. I did a workout, not as good as usual because I really need a rest day. I didn't want to workout but I still pushed myself to do one. I did 10 minutes of Insanity DVD 3 and 20 minutes bicycle. Tomorow is going to be a rest day or some weights.0 -
I'm liking this accountability thread... had to get in on it!
recap of my week -
Food: have been just at or a little below 1200 net each day... I have to exercise because I love to eat!
Exercise:
Monday - 60 min bootcamp including running, burpees, wall balls, bicep dips, lunges, jumping, sprints, planks & abs.
Tuesday - 60 min zumba class (only my second time going, oh so fun!!!)
Wednesday - 25 mins cardio on the treadmill, 10 mins of pushups, situps and crunches!
Thursday - bootcamp again including sprints, star jump squats, crab crawls, jump rope, box jumps, tons of pushups and burpees.... lots of sweat
Friday - bootcamp again tonight (anything's possible! don't know what the workout will be until it happens!)
I don't have a plan yet for tomorrow's workout - might go for a run early in the morning depending on the weather.
What is everyone else doing for workout's this weekend?0 -
What is everyone else doing for workout's this weekend?
It's hard to say. We are going out of town Saturday morning and returning Sunday evening. I will probably do some strength training on my Total Gym and spend a few minutes on my treadmill before we leave. I'm not sure if our hotel has a fitness center or not. If not, I may walk out side the motel for some exercise. Or I may do some walking in the swimming pool.
I'll just have to be creative and find a way. I guess this is what this life-style change is all about. Finding ways of keeping in shape and eating well while life happens.

This has not been a great week..potluck and farewell cake for a coworker. I didn't completely pig out, but still did some damage. Hard core metabolic resistance workout tonight. Planning to join a friend for another one tomorrow...and do some hardcore cleaning!0

Yesterday was not good for me. We had a lunch brought in to our office for Administrative Assistant's Week. I would have been fine, but a second piece of cake and a bag of chips that I wasn't hungry for called my name. I only had a few bites of sweets for dinner but I felt horrible after eating well for a week or so now. By horrible I felt bloated and stuffed and I don't like that feeling.
I did do my treadmill workout.
I had planned to do my full strength training workout and a few minutes on my treadmill this morning before we head out of town today, but we have company sleeping in that room. I'm a little bit discouraged as I usually misbehave out of town anyway by overeating. Oh well. I'll figure it out.
Down 1.4 lbs. ~ 8 lbs to go.

Yesterday I went over my calories, but only by 100, I ended up eating a little over 1500 yesterday...but today was my first weigh in in about a week and I lost 2 pounds!!! YES! Only about 18 more to go before I get to the weight I was when I get married

Woo hoo! Good job! My weekly weigh in is Sunday morning and, although I'm only logging my changes weekly, I weigh daily and I'm hoping to log a 2lb loss as well after 4 weeks on MFP. We'll see...those water fluctuations can be pretty wild.0 -
I was out of town for a couple of days and didn't check in. In the two days I only managed one 30 minute walk. I did that outside the motel. My eating was more than I usually do at home, but not too bad considering we were out of town. Before, being out of town was like a free pass to stuff myself eating out at all the places we love. I really concentrated on good choices and portion sizes.
The scale is up this morning. I know it's water because we had chinese yesterday and it was loaded with sodium. I'll pay for that for a few days. Ugh. Oh well. Back on track this morning.

Yesterday was a good day. I did my strengh training workout with a few minutes on the treadmill. My eating yesterday was clean. I planned out meals and snacks all day. I had a smoothie for dinner. It was fairly low calorie and was very satisfying. I drank a lot of water to counter the sodium from the weekend.
The scale was almost back down to Friday's weigh in. The salt/water gain is about gone. I'll have to remember that the next time I decide that Chinese food for lunch is a good idea.

It's a good thing we haven't gone to any games, I'd go nuts on all that food lol0 -
I've been going strong the last several days. Ran on Sunday, got in a hardcore MRT workout last night, and I'm on target with calories. Scale was down to exactly where I was last Tuesday (before creeping back up before my weigh in Sunday. Hopefully, that won't happen again this week.0
