Ladies, this is your opportunity to pat yourself on the back and allow others to congratulate you for a job well-done. Doesn't have to be some grand feat, it can be as small as, I completed my workout today or I was finally able to get all of my fruits and veggies in. Starting and keeping good habits can be difficult, let us spur you on to greatness!

I joined late in the day yesterday and had a busy evening with church and baby so only got in 3 due to not getting in excersize but i will be all over it today. Already have 2 of the 4 for today!

I did get my 4 pts in yesterday too! But today might not be as good. My head feels like it's going to explode with my sinuses and I am seriously dragging. :frown:0

I totally understand. Try using a Netty Pot. My mom told me about it when I got sick over Thanksgiving and now I can breathe, though I'm still a little congested. I'm going to miss my class tonight, but am going to walk for 20 minutes on the treadmill. I hope you feel better.0

That's wonderful! Looks like you have your hands full. If at all possible, it may work out to your benefit to get your 20 minutes in first thing in the morning before the baby wakes up and life is a little less predictable. Let me know how it works out for you. @jainmesoo
I am so encouraged to see you all put points on the board! Sick or not, I'm going to get my 4 points today :-)0 -
i only got three points yesterday didnt eat enough veggies gonna try to get all four today continue being AWESOME everyone!!!!0
-
Yay so glad it is a daily check in. I missed that somehow. Will we have a new daily thread?
I only ended up with 2 points yesterday. I guess I assumed I would get to 4 with no problem. Today I will pay more attention. I also printed off the rules. One for work and one for home this will help me keep focus.
Super excited that there are so many of us joining along.0 -
@lessismore Great suggestion. I will try to start one once a week because I hope to be on here daily, but honestly, it may not happen. You are right. Easy to get side tracked. I had a tangerine for dessert because I needed one more fruit or veggie last night.0

I got my four points yesterday and today. I'm really happy to have a place to check in daily and find encouragement to stick with the plan!0

Got in my 4 points yesterday! I had a GREAT workout at the gym last night. I am on daycare duty today so I am hoping to get in some kettlebell at home this evening before the hubby gets home.
WOOP WOOP!! THIS IS FUN!! 0 -
Great job Ladies!
I got too busy to eat my afternoon snack and I'm not hungry now, so I will have to settle for 3 points today. I only had 4/5 servings of fruits &/or veggies. The competitive nature in me wants me to go eat a tangerine or something. The other side of me says, "let it go." Hey, I worked out twice today, so I couldn't be more proud of myself :-)0 -
Hi all-- I got my 4 out of 4 today: a hard workout, veg soup and salad for lunch + fruit for snack + veggies at dinner, water & tracking! Woohoo!
I have to say, after three hard workouts in three days and really eating clean, I'm feeling tired. I need an easier day at the gym tomorrow. And maybe a teeny piece of chocolate after dinner.0 -
I got my four points each day so far, working out and all the busyness has left me feeling so tired...going to have an extra dose of vitamin c and keep kicking it though!0
-
11/28 - 4 points
11/29 - 2 points

happy birthday!0

Happy Birthday Zenya, 2 @ out of four is better than zero so good for you. I only got three pts yesterday but I'm working towards 4. It's that exercise thing! I'm working toward 4 pts today so lets see what happens. The night is young. I'm keeping track of my pts on MFP in my notes so I can turn them in on Sunday. I have a work Christmas party tomorrow so wish me luck. I know I can do it and your encouragement helps! Have a good one and keep up the great work you've begun.0

Happy belated birthday Zenya! I hope you enjoyed it. The good news is, you could workout in the morning and enjoy everything about your special day.
@debgoomey YOU ROCK! That being said, please listen to you body. There is a difference between not working out because you are being lazy and taking a day off to avoid overtraining. Remember, I have build an extra day into the challenge on purpose so you can either take a full day off, or you can use those 4 points as you need to. I'll be honest, there are sometimes I am feeling really run down, like yesterday, so I only earned 3 points because I was EXHAUSTED to my core and had to tell myself to listen to my body. It is ok to take a break IF you have been really focused and IF you will be back at it the next day.
@econmama see what I wrote to deb. The point is to get establish good habits. I purposely made the workouts 20 minutes so you know that you don't have to go all out everyday, but you get SOME kind of activity in. If you see my exercise log, I have 2 days where I only walked and the rest were much more intense. It is a marathon, not a sprint. PLEASE pace yourselves. You have my permission, even if you won't give it to yourself :-)0 -
I earned 22 points this week. Had some trouble staying on track Wednesday and Thursday. But went right back to it on Friday.0

@debgoomey great job!
@kmcgrath1 on Sunday evening. I think Deb just chose to break her points down by day. Feel free to post your points here for encouragement from the group, but I need you to send me the total points for the week via a private message so I can keep up with everyone. Thanks!0
