    I am getting there slowly. I'm scared that since I had a big loss last week, this week I will bomb. Eeeek. I will just keep doing the challenges and my other workout and hope it all shows at the end of the week.

    Monday- no workout
    Tuesday- 50 push-ups, 50 crunches

    you will do just fine just keep pushing through and getting the workouts in and I am sure things will show up as they did last week for all your hard work!!! There are other ways to measure your success other than the scale also how good you feel knowing you completed the challenge how your body starts to shape up from working hard and the energy we get from it as well so all rewarding signs to look for from week to week Keep pushing hard!!!!

    It was still weekly I think for me I have been having issues and so I am just taking the time off. I think some of the other ladies were already on a monthly weigh in before starting the challenge. So that's where the confusion came in sorry about that. Do what works best for you!!

    This is gonna be long, sorry...

    Ok, so yesterday was bad. Not just bad, but really really bad! I was all ready to join the gym, had it arranged to go at 4 and my son was going to get to play on the computer there while I worked out. The day started off great. Went shopping to get some invites for my graduation celebration this summer. Went to the school to volunteer, and it hit. My son has ADHD and Aspeger's, just a lil background. He began having a meltdown at school. Not just a little one. Nope he comes to the room I am in and begins slamming the door. The more I ignore him, the louder it got and the harder he slammed. The teacher in the family center (where I was working) goes out in the hall with him and locks the door so he can't open it anymore. Then his teacher comes to get him. He goes back to class, and I'm thinking, "ok he will pull it together". Boy was I ever wrong. The teacher calls when school is out and says he has a mess to clean up and then he'll be out of class. Ok, I can still make it to the gym, right? Nope! His teacher calls and says my son took off. He ran home (we live right across the street) and I get him back at school. We finally get home from school at 5:30. There went my gym workout. And I was so physically and mentally exhausted that I just wanted to go to bed.

    So, I did not get my workout in or my daily challenge in, and I blew it on eating out. Today I WILL make up for yesterdays challenge and do 50 pushups and 50 crunches. Sorry for the long vent. What do all of you do when you have days that start good, then go from bad to worse?

    Awww sounds like a very rough day krklstephi! Just try to put yesterday behind you. Everyone has bad days..

    When I have a bad day I just try to do REALLY well the next day. one day isnt going to hurt ya.. im sure you have gone many years eating fast food and not exercising. The main thing is that you have the intention to want to improve :) and YOU CAN!!!

    I also didnt get to do any of the challenge yesterday - so just like you I will make up for it today.. 50 push ups and 50 crunhces - together we can do it!
