    I missed swimming this morning because I have a cold and didn't want to pass it on.
    Instead I am taking my dog for a run later, followed with 90 squats, 90 arm exercises and 60 stomach exercises. Woo!!!!

    Excellent job coming up with an alternative plan, jen. :)

    By "processed foods" are you including bread, cheese, etc? If so, wow! I could never do that.

    Hello! Thanks for the challenge!!

    Assuming yesterday (Tuesday) was the first day, I went for a 3.35 mile walk with my nephew and sister!

    So first day Tuesday February 12th I ran 3.0 miles in 27:56 minutes on the treadmill. I also completed a Back/Chest workout totalling 40 minutes. I am excited to stop stressing over the numbers on the scale not moving or moving too fast. It will be like a breath of fresh air to just exercise and eat healthy and not worry about the other stuff!!!

    I thought it started today. Good thing I did a trial run yesterday.

    1. Up at 5am, gym by 6am. Elliptical Trainer (35 min) and stretching for a total time of 45 minutes.
    2. Went to trader joes for groceries and had healthy homemade pizza and a small glass of wine.
    3. I tried to walk more at work, but working on a computer/phone all day- it's hard to get away.
    4. My fridge/pantry are filled with mostly clean foods. (thegraciouspantry.com for receipes!)

    Starting today, February 13! I'm going for an interval run today after work to kick things off. I'm definitely looking forward to the next 40 days.

    Yup, i dont eat cheese anyways, bread/pasta/rice/potatoes :) I did it a week b4 xmas and lost 4lbs!
  • I am on a 1250 calorie diet already so I am following that TO A T!!! lol Today as a change to my normal routine I put the desk chair away so I am less tempted to sit and play on the computer. After dinner and getting kids to bed I'll be headed to the gym for my 1 hour cardio trip. :)

    Tuesday, Day 1: I ate mindfully all day, completed the first day of my 30day shred video
  • Day 1 - Tuesday, February 12th

    Cleaned the shop for 1.5 hours to get ready for a client visit instead of sitting at my desk. No, technically this was not a standard workout but it was very physical work and I did work up a sweat. It was something I normally never do so I am counting it. I usually spend the whole work day at my computer. Day 2 I will have something that looks more like a workout.

    Joined this forum today but I'm posting my workout from Fat Tuesday through the next 40 days:
    Feb 12- 42 min run, 6.7 mph treadmill

    Today I plan to do the same, cardio for at least 40 minutes and light weights at home. I love that I found this post. Just the thought of focusing on working out every day and avoiding the scale for 40 days is liberating all in itself!!

    I'm game! I'll use my stair climbing at work and squats for day one- total 25 mins. Up and down four floors a total of seven X 75 steps each way. Doesn't sound like a lot but after 200 squats, I had to take the elevator to get back to my desk! :ohwell:

    Oops, Day 1 wasn't active. I've disappointed God... LOL! I made up for it Day 2, though. Cheers and positive thoughts for all of you.

    I love this group! Thank you for having it- it's just what I need and what I committed to before seeing it!

    Tonight I did an old Denise Austin Kickboxing VHS (Lol) tape. 30 Minutes.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone's progress.
