hoping reading others messages will help me understand how these things are done. I weighed myself late today so will weigh in tomorrow at a more appropriate time. Hopefully I will be able to get the hang of this soon
Am getting about 7 to 8 glasses of water easily each day.:drinker:0 -
Got in a walk today, just under 3km. I use an app called endomondo on my blackberry to gps the walks or jogs. Love the app and there site. They keep track of all your workouts so I can see how many km I have done since I started or by a monthly basis.
Burned a total of 270 cals today - did the walk plus I did Monday's workout on that Daily Workout Plan I found by Back On Pointe. Did 100 jumping jacks, 50 crunches, 20 tricep dips, 15 squats, 10 lunges ea leg, 70 russian twists, 5 pushups, 20 standing calf raises, 30 second plank, and 10 lunge split jacks. Weigh in tomorrow, I actually usually log my weights on Fridays, but will log in tomorrow as well, will take the better weigh in for this group - lol.
Hope everyone is doing well. Can't wait to see the challenges for the week. I completed all 3 challenges for this week.0 -

misticache - No. It's not going to be a group because it is impossible for me to be as good about keeping the spreadsheet up to date when the posts aren't linear all in one place.
I hope no one has big qualms with this, but I've decided I'm going to continue the challenge on the thread.
Good job getting through this week everyone! I'm excited to see the weigh-ins tomorrow, though I'm not sure if I'm excited about my own. haha
Here are you challenges for next week:
- Increase your FRUIT/VEGETABLE intake this week
- Get 30 minutes of CARDIO at least 4 days this week
- Share a RECIPE with the group0 -
First week weigh in.

New activity - My planned new activity for the week is jumping rope. I haven't done that yet, but I did do something that is new to me (running on hills) that wasn't planned. Half check.0 -
Happy Monday everyone!
My results for today:
Water: I actually drank 48 oz of water today! It's the most I have ever drank in a very long time!
New exercise: Nope, just did my Insanity program and went to a kickboxing class with a friend
Calories: I'm under!!! So happy!
I love doing these weekly challenges! I'm always thinking about this thread throughout my day making sure I'm drinking enough water and staying under calories! I did not get to try new exercises every day but I did end up picking up two new things for the week!
Can't wait for the weigh in tomorrow!!! I look forward to seeing everyone's progress so far!

this was one of the first weekends in a really long time that i didnt over indulge and i feel great. i was able to control myself which as many of you know is not an easy thing!! i feel like MFP community as really helped me with this because i know i have to be accountable for what im doing and when i see other people working just as hard i dont want to let anyone down. i finally bought a scale this weekend and im not sure if today is the day we're supposed to weigh in or tomorrow but im so excited to say that i lost 4.3lbs!! woop woop!! though small i will take anything ...26 more lbs to go by august 28th and i feel like i can really do this!! i have definitely been drinking more water..2 34oz bottles a day plus a few more glasses..staying under my calorie goal throughout the week and my new exercise has been starting the c25k

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GOOD FIRST WEEK.NOW ON TO A SUCCESSFUL WEEK 20 -
So i'm going to start today off with my recipe post..its nothing crazy and pretty easy. i made this a few weeks ago one morning with all the stuff i had left in the fridge and was surprised it came out pretty good. i usually have it for breakfast after my workout but i would have it for dinner too because its pretty filling for such few calories...
1c mushrooms diced
4lg egg whites
1/4-1/2c kidney beans
3 mini sweet peppers diced
1/8-1/4c shredded mozzerrella
2tbs salsa
i start by putting literally a drop or 2 ( less than a teaspoon) of EVOO in the pan throw in my peppers let them cook about 2 mins then toss in the mushrooms ( the mushrooms will give off some liquid when they cook which helps everything to steam a little bit) cook for another minute until soft..throw in kidney beans cook until warm throw in your egg whites and cook everything together until eggs are done. throw in a bowl sprinkle with some cheese and salsa and enjoy!! a couple days that i have been super hungry i added some toast to the mix but its usually filling by itself and totals around 300 calories give or take i know it sounds a bit funny..looks even funnier but it really is tasty lol. and it also looks like a lot of food when you are eating...i know that that part helps me because it tricks my mind into thinking im getting a lot!
for my cardio challenge im incorporating the c25k routine with one extra day to take a long walk.
and increasing my fruits and veggie intake is very much welcomed as i have been craving watermelon for the longest time lol not i have an excuse to go get some!!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!0 -
