    Good morning, TEAM FIT!

    Okay, I'm starting out very bummed...! I gained a pound! GRRRR! :grumble:

    I'm eating under my calories (well, except yesterday when I had popcorn at the game). Maybe my being home with my son those two days has stumped the loss for this weigh-in. ??? I thought I made up for it with strength training and total body workout that Thursday - 1-1/2hrs then a Friday morning AND a Saturday workout. What am I doing wrong???

    Should I increase protein? Add more cardio?
    If anyone has any suggestions...I'm willing to listen!

    Monday blues....:sad:

    Down Sizin - are you making sure to eat enough calories. I always eat at least my 1200 plus about 1/2 my exercise calories. If I don't do that I notice no weight loss. Also, have you not done strength training in a while or did you change your workout. According to Chalene Johnson if you start a new strength trianing workout you may experience a slight weight gain for the first 2 weeks before your muscles are sore and swollen so water is retained to heal the muscles.

    Don't give up. Keep going and you will see progress. Remember this is a lifestyle not temporary.

    This weekend I did not keep track of my water, sure I did not hit my 8 glasses because I had an Icee both days (oops). I went for a 45 min bike ride Saturday and nothing on Sunday.

    Monday - 45 min workout this morning.

    Thanks, Kimberly. I looked back at my food log, and I'm not eating 1200 on some days, and not eating the full exercise calories. Yes, I added strength training this past week. It makes sense about adding new workout. I have been extremely sore in my biceps, quads, glutes, etc., so that makes sense. Okay, I'm going to ignore the scale today and next week and concentrate on eating more cals and staying with the ex program. THANKS, K! I appreciate the advice and encouragement. I feel better ! :happy:

    My goal for this week is to make my 1200 daily cals + 1/2 of extra (thanks, Kimberly!), UP the water consumption and continue with aerobics & strength training. I'm stayin strong this week!

    DownSizin - you can do it. Try it for a week and see if that makes the difference with your weight.

    I do believe this is the last week of this challenge.

    Monday - 65 min workout and 12 glasses water
    Tuesday 25 min workout

    So tomorrow is my birthday so we have a babysitter for my son and we are going to dinner and a show. Hope I don't overdo my calories too much. I have not had a drink in 3 months and I plan to have at least some wine tonight. Not sure where my husband has plans to take me for dinner but I am hoping I can contain myself and not over indulge. I am taking off of work tomorrow so if I don't check in tomorrow I will let everyone know how bad I was on Thursday.

    Good news is that I hit my goal weight for the month (before tonight hopefully I don't gain) and I am now in a size 8 that is almost a little too big - YEAH :happy:

    Everyone hang in there. The month is almost ended and we will need to be even stronger for November and December.

    Wednesday total: 3 glasses of water, 45 mins cardio.

    I don't think I'm going to lose any weight this week. Hopefully I don't gain any either though. :indifferent: I've gone over my calories almost every day this week, even with exercise... so we'll see what tomorrow's weigh-in brings.

    Wednesday - 8 cups of water - 0 exercise. I went over my calories today by about 400, but I'm still positive about the week overall. I've been doing pretty well - exercising and not eating all of my exercise calories, so I don't think *hope* this one day will hurt me for Friday's weigh in. We'll see!

    good morning team! :flowerforyou:
    i hear ya about being scared to see if you lost any weight. Last night my boyfriend brought me Pei Wei..... thank god I only ate half of my plate though! Just half of the plate is 450 calories and 21 grams of fat!!!!!! I was soo pissed at myself! But I never eat stuff like that so I'm hoping it wont screw me up this week. I've done good the rest of the week, so I'll find out on Sunday!!:ohwell: :indifferent:

    Only two days left, so lets make them good!! Keep it up team! We're almost there!!!:glasses: :bigsmile: :smile: :tongue: :flowerforyou: :drinker:
