    Wow I cant believe I have done 3 days of exercising!
    I think I might actually be enjoying the cross trainer its low impact on my knees but burns as many calories as jogging I love it!!

    hello everyone :) haven't posted in a while but I've been logging in. Job ends monday, so after that I'll start participating in exercise challenges. Sounds like things are picking up and everybody is doing well!

    The weather's been super awesome in Vancouver for the past few weeks and all the Vancouverites are definitely soaking it up! I think after my job ends, I'm going to try going jogging in the early morning, since it's always so beautiful around then. I'm lucky to live right next to a park that's great for running and biking in...

    I was wondering if we could start adding a food component to our challenges?

    Hi Everyone Exercise-wise Ive been pretty good this week!!

    Monday - 30mins Jogging
    Tuesday off
    Wednesday - 40mins Cross Trainer
    Thursday - 40mins Cross Trainer
    Friday - 40min cross training
    Saturday - Jillian Michaels
    Sunday - 40min Jogging and Cross Training

    Eating - wise I was a shocker during the weekend! I had a couple of birthday parties and I just couldnt control myself! But I only had 1 glass of wine so I did try very very hard!! But I guess not good enough because my food/calorie intake still went off the radar arrghhhhh!!!!

    Ok Eek thanks for the wake up call on the food department!

    Next weeks challenge - 4 days of exercise! and 6 days of staying within or under your calorie allowance!!! For those of you who already are doing this - THATS AWESOME KEEP IT UP!!! but for me and any others that still struggle with watching our portions

    LETS AIM FOR 6 DAYS OF GOOD EATING

    Ok next weeks challenge is a TOUGH ONE but I think we can all do it!! 4 days of exercise plus 6 days of mindful eating!

    I think it would also be a great idea for us to think about why we are doing this. What is motivating you?

    For me:

    Im tired of lugging around this extra weight - It makes me tired (physically and mentally). I have been thinner before and I had so much energy! I miss that! I want that energy again!
    I dont want to have to buy bigger jeans - I really want to feel comfortable in my jeans again!! Actually it would be fabulous if I could feel comfortable in any of my outfits again! Its aweful having to wear baggy tops just to hide the rolls!
    My wedding dress!!! arggghhh I have a wedding coming up next year (March) I have got to SLIM down for my gown. All eyes are on the bride (i hate attention - why cant they look at the groom instead!).
    My self confidence - Being lighter just gave me so much confidence in myself. I just felt good from the inside out. I miss that... So those are a few of the reasons why Im going to try so hard this time round!!!

    If you want something bad enough you can make it happen!

    Jaymie... YOUR GETTING MARRIED!! YOU WILL FIT IN THAT DRESS! Put that dress in front of you and watch the buff bride show on lifetime or one of those damn channels ROFL Yes all eyes will be on you hun but the most important eyes will be his. If I am correct what matters to him is how happy you are. RIght now you aint so happy. Just imagine how much less stress it will be if you slim down before the final countdown and the only stuff you will have to worry about will be the wedding details and not your butt! :) YOu can do this lady!

    Tough challenge! But I'm in. Should kick my butt to stop being so lazy about eating habits...

    My inspiration, huh...

    To just look better in general and be more confident about my appearance
    Build a better future... to correct bad habits now so I don't have to later
    Be a better athlete and set a good example so the ladies can look up to their captain
    I don't have any guy I'm seeing now but I feel like if I improve my quality of life, the guys I'll attract will be a better quality too. lol, I dunno about that one. But being honest, I think about it sometimes...

    well, there we go. Maybe I should write that down somewhere...

    Thank you for your kind words. Your very supportive! My fiancee is happy with me no matter what size but to alleviate some stress it would be nice not to burst out of my wedding dress LOL!!!

    Wow your hubby is cooking! You gotta give him some credit for that! But I know what you mean when some hubbies cook.. If he is anything like my guy who happens to likes his 'abundant olive oil'!

    Keep up with the spin classes I hear they are tough (never tried myself) but will be well worth it for you!!

    Eek

    Great to have you on board for this weeks challenge. Its a tough one but Im sure you will do fine!

    Yes I think you will attract a very fine guy, especially if you build that self confidence. When your happy with yourself thats when I think you will find Mr Right for you!! Somehow he is always there when you least expect it! For now focus on improving those habits and loving yourself!

    .....You ladies are HOT over there???? Its been averaging about 1-2degress (celcius) during the middle of the night here... I envy you ladies. What Id give to be able to wear a skirt instead of these thermals argghhh

    So Who else would like to join our challenge this week?

    EXERCISE 30mins (any shape or form that requires you to break a sweat) 4 days this week
    EATING (within or slightly under your calorie allowance) 6 days this week

    This is a tough challenge but if you really want to make a change you gotta start somewhere. Remember it takes about 3weeks (21 days) to form a habit so lets just start with this week.... baby steps!!!!

    :wink:

    So, day one of this week's challenge almost over... I'll be under my cals for today for sure... I have like 800 left for dinner :P

    Monday - Biking off and on between 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

    And the weather was beautiful again today! Sunny all day. But honestly I like the winter better... mostly because it's easier to have fun with clothing when there are more layers to play with :P . The novelty of wearing skirts and tee shirts wears out pretty quickly, lol.

    100's not that bad! of course we can't start thinking like that though because then it'll be 200's not too bad and soon everything will be out of control!!

    So, my week's looking ok...

    Monday - Biking for work, under calories
    Tuesday - Biking with friend for an hour, over calories (ack.)
    Wednesday (today) - Golfing, played 13 holes (it was too hot to play by that time), calories looking good, but I'm not gonna jynx it...

    Hope everybody's doing ok with the challenge!
