10%- If some time during the week you try a new healthy recipe
25%- If you log all of your food and stay within your calorie goals
10%- If you try a new exercise this week (can be a whole workout or just a new move you learned from a book or video
20%- If the logged in daily on this topic board. Let us know anything about how you are doing, what you have learned, what you did for exercise, anything..

    I'll get in my post here for the day... I am doing fabulous! I am really excited to start this new week and super motivated. My weight goes down soooo slowly which is a bit frustrating at times. I am not sure if it is my medication, genetics or I just need to change up something. However, I am thrilled to be going in the right direction and I feel terrific. The scale definitely doesn't tell the whole story! I know I will get in my exercise today... Spinning class at 6pm tonight. My quads are already killing me so I think it will be a long class for me. I think I might soon invest in something to put on the bike seat. Those seats kill your butt!:laugh: :laugh:

    I am liking this challenge!
    Well, to start out, I am feeling deflated today, was down to 209 yesterday, then on weigh-in day I magically pop back up to 211. I literally said "Why are you doing this to me?!?" to my scale this morning after i got off of it for the 20th time. ugh. But then I got my butt to Zumba. I'm feeling icky and feel like I need a juice cleanse or something. I even had a nice full 8 hours of sleep last night. I'm sure the stress of wedding planning, two toddlers, work, family issues, and making time to work-out is getting to me.

    Tomorrow is a new day, dang it!!!

    Hang in there Mazarith. I swear the scale can be our biggest enemy some days!!:frown: That is a lot of stress you are under, but give yourself a high five for still doing your Zumba and making sure you got a good nights sleep. You got this!:happy:

    I tired Part 2 of the Kettlebell workout DVD yesterday and my body is killing me.....too many parts to list are sore and aching!!! I felt good to do it though!! My "new" thing today will be running for a longer time frame on the C25K but that's not really a "new" workout. Hope everyone is having a great week! I'm feeling more motivated then usual-this is a good thing!

    Those kettlebells are a real burn!! Way to go! My body is still killing me from a new DVD I did that had lots of squats and lunges. I am hoping it is a good, you are making progress, kind of hurt and not a pain due to incorrect form. I am so happy that you are feeling motivated. This is so much mind over matter!! Good luck on your C25K run today! I'll be thinking of you!:flowerforyou:

    My day is going fine. I should have used a little more will power earlier but I think I can work off those 3 cookies before the end of the day. I don't think I really even wanted them. I was just working and was feeling really tired. I was mad at myself because it is so much easier to just not eat the darn cookies then to spend all that time working it off. :frown: I think I am going to go swimming with my son tonight. He learned a new move in swim class and maybe he will teach me for my new exercise.:bigsmile: You guys are all doing great! Let's keep up the good work team!

    So much easier to just not eat them, not nearly as fun as eating them though. LOL! It happens to us all. I also think about how much exercise I'm going to need to do to get calories off.

    I hate that feeling. Last weigh in was the same thing for me. I went up almost 2lbs on weigh in day. Sometimes I just stand on that scale and curse it. Hopefully it's just natural fluctuation and will work its way back down.
