Good Afternoon guys!! I have had a pretty good day so far..I ate half of a grilled chicken salad from wendys and a coke (my weakness):blushing: This week our post will be here and next week we will be on week two..Im not sure what I am having for dinner yet..Havent got any excercise in due to a medication adjustment and total lack of energy!!! :grumble: But they say it will get better over time so fingers crossed:ohwell: Tomorrows challenge will be to get at least 30 mins of cardio in and no junk food!! If anyone has any ideas for future challenges feel free to post them and I will write them down...Other than that, I hope everyone has a good evening and great morning!! Jessica:flowerforyou:

    Hello,
    I'm having a pretty good day too! Started with an apple and a cup of coffee w/ some stevia. Then had non-fat greek yogurt and berries for a snack. A salad w/ vinegar only and soup for lunch. Planning on eating some protein after my workout tonight. Going to the gym for 30 mins of cardio and a PowerFlex class (60 mins of circuit-weight lifting). I really wanna loose 5 lbs in the next 3 weeks. So hope we all keep each other motivated.
    PS. so far i have drank about 9 or 10 glasses of water.

    Glad for the 30 min. cardio challenge...haven't been to the gym in forever and need to go. Had a good day today eating wise and did tons of yard work beacuse it's so nice out. :) Yard work isn't necessarily fun...but...burning the calories is nice. :)

    HI all, Well the Easter Break is over and I only gave in to a little bit of chocolate (mind you once I tasted it it was hard not to eat the whole egg). I had to work over most of Easter and it was really busy so that helped cut down on the temptation but tomorrow is my day off so who knows what that will bring!!!! catch up with you later. Ellie

    Hey all!! ... I didn't do too bad today. I actually had oreos =) and I might get to have another fun snack like popcorn! whoo. I am just feeling snacky tonight, which is bad...but I'm trying to stay below my goal! I ran W2D1 of the C25K ... I thought I was going to die at one point, seriously! I took my dog, I think he kept me aware of my speed which was good!

    Hopefully I will keep it up. Tomorrow is supposed to be my weigh in day, so I might go ahead and weigh in, because I'm too curious not to! LOL

    I won't be able to do the 30mins of cardio... I have to work 12hours tomorrow for my preceptorship! BOO HOO! =(

    Hope each of you have a wonderfully healthy day tomorrow!!

    -Sammy

    Found the new board! Definitely down for the challenge tomorrow, the more I exercise, the more calories I get which gives me a little flex room! Today overall wasn't bad. I totally derailed the morning with a Panera bagel, did anyone know that the whole grain bagel has 330 calories, yikes! And I am on call so no opportunities to exercise and even out, but I made the adjustments and was only 146 positive, so there's something. And I was good on Easter treats so I'll count this.

    Nicole, hope you're having fun on your vacation! My fiance and I don't have anymore time out until our honeymoon, but that's something to look forward to. BuffJess hope the energy level gets better soon!

    And to the gym tomorrow...

    Hello Everyone,
    So far so good today. I'm having black coffee and a banana for breakfast. Brought my healthy snacks to work so I won't be temped. Going shopping for lunch to buy healthy food.
    I plan on doing 30 minutes of cardio and a 90 minute Yoga class this evening. Might even treat myself to a mani and pedi before hitting the gym :) see if I have time for that.
    I hope you all have a great day and make healthy choices.
    Hit me up for any encouragement.

    I'll def try to fit in my 30 min of cardio today (hopefully more), and still aiming for the 64 oz of water. I'm in a bowling class right now, and even though you don't burn off barely any calories, it sure is fun! I'm in college, and dorm food is always pretty over-processed and calorie filled, so I'll try my best to make healthy choices! Weigh in is on Friday right? Good luck everyone!
