    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! =)

    Weigh-in today and I've gained a pound :-( 156lbs this morning. Not entirely unexpected as it's the bank holiday and I've been a bit naughty at 2 parties this weekend. Ready to grab the bull by the horns this week!!

    Challenges -
    New exercise - YES, went to a body combat class for the first time and LOVED it!
    More water - YES, although I dont log water I drank an extra 2 glasses before bed every day this week!
    Under cals - no :-( as I said too many parties!! Was over 3 days out of 7 this week.

    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

    sooo i'll make it official..

    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!!!!!!!!!
