RED HIGH HEELS GROUP (WEEK ONE)

JoyousMaximus

Ya'll must be on the east coast. It's barely 9a here. I'm contemplating my morning snack.

:laugh: Yep, it's noon, sunny, clear and a breezy 80 degrees here in Ohio and I get off early today so I get to leave in 1.5 hours. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I am going to cry. We work from 7a-430p so I still have 7hours left. :sad: :sad: :sad:

Good morning, or afternoon depending on where you are :happy:

I was suprised to see that we were still working off of week one thread but then realised it is still week one for the challenge as it starts on Thursdays. Just coz it's Monday doesn't mean it's week 2I was confused. Silly Nikky, LOL, doesn't take much apparantly.

Do we know what today's challenge is?

I've had a Source yogourt, 2 coffees and a All-Bran granola bar at 263cals. My lunch consists of left over garden salad with approximately a 1/4 cup of left over chicken served with balsamic vinaigrette, a babybel cheese and WATER. 210 cals. I also have a Granny Smith apple for afternoon break.

I should tell you, I step on the scale every morning and discovered that I am down 1 more today but I won't record until Thursday in case I'm down more. Yay me! (I sure cheer myself on a lot on this board - LOL- That's not to say you gals aren't, Just that I'm feeling a bit self-centered I guess). I guess that's how I've been feeling lately, self-centered. Everything seems to revolve around my diet, my exercise, me, me, me it seems. It affects everything because there aren't enough hours in a day. So I am sacrifising a lot of things that require my attention to focuse on getting healthy. I love to sew and have very little time to do so because my exercising gets in the way. Then housework and laundry come next which again affects everything else. I know that once I reach my goal weight I will taper off of 7 days a week regimented workouts and prob will go down to 3-5 depending on the circumstances or at least cut down to a half hour as opposed to an hour but right now I feel it's important to establish a routine that focuses on weight loss. Anybody else feel that way?

I did awful this weekend! I am so mad at myself!

Today is a new day, but I don't feel so hot!

I don't think there is a challenge today. Jess hasn't checked in yet. Let's make up our own.. maybe burn an extra 50 cals during cardio? suggestions?

BuffJess said she would start a new thread today titled "RED HIGH HEELS GROUP WEEK 1/2" but I haven't seen it yet...I suppose we could pick the challenge today, maybe she's busy or her computer is down-that always happens to me when I need the computer most! :laugh: How about we all add 5-10 minutes to our normal workout today? And if BuffJess tells us a different challenge, we could do that one too-or one or the other

Good point about being busy or the comp being down. Not all of us sit at a comp ALL day!

I think at least 10 mins more. 5 doesn't seem like enough of a change. What do you all think?

JoyousMaximus

I think I can do it. I'll add 10 min of cycling intervals to my 20 min of elliptical intervals... My legs will have serious revenge tomorrow.

10 is good. I already did my workout early this morning (guy is hopefully coming to recaulk the bathtub and i wanted to make sure i got a shower today since we can't use it for 24 hours after) but we still gotta walk the puppy tonight so we'll go 10 minutes longer than usual

Kityngirl

I was planning on doing 20 mins of intervals on the elliptical and arms and abs on weights...so I will try to do 30 on the elliptical....haven't been to the gym in 3 weeks so this should really kick my boot-tay.

Hello Ladies!
I did meh this weekend. Calorie-wise I went over Sat but made up for it Sun by going under. I did not drink nearly enough water and did not work out once! I went for a walk but that's it. Despite that, and to my surprise the scale was very nice to me this morning. I'm not sure I'm going to believe it just yet...but I'm down 4lbs since when I began with you ladies! And if this is true, I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight! Hopefully it'll stay that way...
Heres to a new week! :drinker:
