I had to change my starting weight to what I weighed last Friday for consistency.0 -
Day 1 of my Couch to 5K program is complete and I feel wonderfully tired. I thought about waiting until Monday to start but procrastination is a major vice of mine so I'm too pleased with myself for getting it done! Daughter has cheerleading competition this Sunday so our day begins at 7 a.m. tomorrow with her hair appointment for that "uniformed" do and call time on Sunday is also at 7 a.m. Some kinda way I'll have to find some time for me....0

Congrats on your first day of Couch25k ! Have you registered for a 5k yet ? I find it the best way to stay motivated and stick to the program
About the 30DS, it's a great program ChaleGirl if you never tried it before. But I tend to adapt it a lot, first because I have a downstairs neighbor, but also I like to workout at the gym, so I memorize the exercises and I do them there after a run.0 -

So far I have worked out everyday this month for a minimum of 20 minutes. 26 more days to go!! :glasses: Focused0 -
abfit4life You are right we do have to make time for ourselves. My kiddos are 4 and almost 2. When I exercise in the evening at home they exercise with me.
Chalegirl I like the 30DS. It is mindless exercising if that makes any sense. It is hard and it does help. I like it because I can do it at home. When it’s cold I don’t get how people work out outside. Some days I just don’t have time to get to the gym, but this will allow me to continue to work out.
What kind of eating plans are you ladies working on?0 -
I would like to take the November Challenge to keep me accountable for my eating habits and exercising regimen:
Goals for November:
Lose 6-9 pounds
Exercise at least 4 times a week
Curb my carbs (this will be the hardest for me)
I am open to any suggestions by any other members on this thread. Just add me to continue to encourage each other throughout our weight loss/healthier lifestyle journey.0 -
@NjFoxy carbs are definitely my weakness. Right now I am trying to stick to counting calories. But eating oatmeal for breakfast is not going to work for me. It makes me crash just an hour or so later. So I am strongly considering going low carb next week. I do well with that. My body doesn't crave them once my carb intake is made up of mostly veggies and some fruits. I don't cut out all carbs, just drastically cut down.0

Hi ladies !
How are things going for all of you ? Can you all report on your personal goals ?
Personnaly, I haven't binged although I ate a little more than I should have. The good point is that my running is going very well and I really feel I am going back into shape.
What about y'all ? A lot of ladies here were going doing the 30DS. How is that going for you ?0 -

Charlotte I was originally scheduled to run a 5K in September but I couldn't do it because I had stopped the training when my health issues cropped up. Now that I'm back at it again there are a few races between Thanksgiving Turkey Trots and New Years that I'm looking at. But it all depends on how my body responds. I am taking it slow...literally and figuratively...because this journey I'm on in fact has to be more like a marathon after all, not a sprint. I'm hoping to run at least two days this week along with everything else.
As for the rest of it, my eating has been consistent and I was feeling proud of myself. But then there came the post-cheerleading championship dinner at a Chinese buffet. I didn't want to go but my daughter would have literally died if she could not be with her teammates. There wasn't even any point logging....Quick add a whole mess of points because I was waaaaaayyyyyyy over! Daughter had a blast and ultimately that all that mattered. I'm back in the groove today.
BTW, normally I absolutely loathe doing resistant training but today at the gym a lovely tenderoni working at Planet Fitness was so adorable that I had to accept his offer to sign up for a training session. I had so much fun teasing him that the 30 minute session was done before I knew it and I'd completed a rotation working my back. Looks like I'll be adding more resistance training to my program....ha ha ha!!))
Hope you are all working it!!0 -

Good morning ladies! Things are going REALLY well for me! I feel better than ever and the scale is starting to move again! Before joining this challenge, I took one week off from exercising and upped my calories to maintenance to give my body a much needed break (I had been working out 6Xs per week for 8 months- sometimes twice per day). To be honest with you, It was not completely my idea to take a break- my body just started to "shut down"- I couldn't get through my workouts with ANY intensity and I was not motivated-- I was tired. So after taking my break, I feel refreshed and I am burning 3500 calories per week again (Minimum). I am feeling pretty positive at this point about kicking these last 10lbs to the curb, now! I hope everyone else is doing well!!!0
