Internet has been wonky, so I'm going to post while I have a chance...
8/6- Weekly Challenge: 1 cup strawberries, no veggies; Exercise: Incomplete, due to no internet access!
8/7- Weekly Challenge: 2 cups strawberries, 1/2 cup raspberries, no veggies; Exercise: Complete
Been REALLY bad this week about eating, but being on vacation is making it difficult to be good! I'm going to see if I can get a hold of some veggies this week. Also, started 30DS yesterday, and continued it today! I think I'm going to start doubling it up, though, since I'm not really feeling the workouts after they're finished (during, of course, I can definitely feel my muscles working!). I'm heading home Saturday, but flying out on Sunday for a week of research in Philadelphia, so I'm hoping that being kept busy will help me stop going after the ice cream!
Welcome, Jen! It is incredibly inspiring to see you've lost so much weight already! I hope you're able to continue your successes while on the team!
I hope everybody else is doing great, too! I can't guarantee internet, apparently, but I'll be on when I can be!0 -
Goooooood Morning Ladies!! SOrry I didnt get back here last night to report....

8/8 I didn't complete the exercise yesterday but I will do both today. I didnt get all my fruit/veggies in yesterday. I went to have a filling done yesterday but my lovely dentists decided that after they started doing the work I will need a crown in the next year! Booo! So I was in a little bit of pain yesterday and just needed a day to not stress. I am back at it today! Hope you all are having a great week!0

Hey guys. Thanks for continuing to post. Sorry, been a crappy coach and team mate. Been juggling work and 2 sick boys (sure I'm next), and then one moved to his Dad's, so in funk. Been doing some stuff, promise to post details by Sunday.
Keep up the good work.0 -

Way to go Olympians! I don't really have any tips to share. I think I must have started the week retaining water since it was that time of the month. I also started a new job delievering papers on the weekend which is a great way to burn some extra calories. Actually I did bump up my calories up last week, 1200 was just too few. I found myself always being hungry. I now have a net goal of around 1500 and have found several nights were I have had to eat more to get enough calories in.
Keep up the good work ladies so we can keep our lead!0 -
8/9 Complete exercise and fruits...
1 cup watermelon
1 cup grapes
1/2 cup of blackberries
To be completely honest, today was a little ruff day. I have been kind of depressed about my progress. I know that what I have been doing this week has not be the greatest but I honestly did not expect to gain weight or see no progress in losing inches. My husband's birthday was Sunday and we just finished up his cake Tuesday night. I have been over in calories (about 150) but I have not been logging in all my exercise so I thought I have been doing okay. I was just upset with how I looked in the mirror today. But today is over so I am hoping I do not feel this way tomorrow too.0 -

I can't begin to tell you how hard this "vacation" was for me. Between having no Internet, to finding by chance the best ice cream place I've ever been to, to stressing out about my research trip this week (I just arrived in Philly where there is Internet!), I have been incredibly short of temper and everything kind of overwhelmed me last night at 1 in the morning. Part of the reason is that there wasn't much of a chance to exercise (though I have been keeping up with 30DS), and part of the problem is that I'm so ready to go back to school.
I am really, really sorry about my horrid eating behavior and the fact that I wasn't able to get on here to cheer you ladies on and be held accountable. After a pep talk from my mom last night (like I said, 1 in the morning, bless her), I'm more grimly determined than ever to go the distance. I promise you that I'm going to keep fighting, and fully intend to shed the added weight and more before the end of the month.0 -
8/11 Exercise complete.
2 Cups of lettuce
1 cup of carrots
1/2 cup red pepper
