    Hi, I'm just about to start my second week using this website . Would love to tag onto your thread.

    My goal would be exercise 5X this week. My biggest problem is that I start work at 7:30, so to work out I need to get up at 5:30. I live in the south and its just too hot to wait til later in the day, besides the fact I tend to not be motivated then.

    Thanks, Shanna- you rock!!

    I'm not sure what our goal should be this week... just throwing an idea out there- what about trying a new healthy food that you haven't tried before? If anyone has better ideas, that's cool too :flowerforyou:

    Good luck this week, losers :tongue:

    I like the updated challenge.


    Keep going with our 8 glasses of water
    keep going with our fruits and veggies
    up the exercise per day time to 40 min.
    try a new healthy food

    It's a lot of stuff to work for, but if we keep up with the old goals then they will become habit (we can hope). New healthy food ideas for those of you out there who haven't tried these...

    quinoa
    hummus
    a vegetarian meal
    goji berries
    chia seeds
    plain non-fat yogurt (no added sweetness!)
    flax seed oil (good in smoothies)
    a new type of melon (casaba, tuscan...)
    unsweetened green tea

    Just throwing some ideas out there. Good luck everyone!

    rowie thanks for the healthy ideas! i'm especially looking for protein-packed things to sneak into smoothies to make them a little more filling. so that's what i'll be shooting for.

    a quick update on my weekend - well, i can just hope thani shocked my system something fierce! i ate too much dessert & too much in general! drank lots of water - but i'm definitely on track with all the goals this week - i'll need it & lots of motivation from you all! below is the chart for last weeks progress. i thinned it out a bit and deleted some that hadn't checked in from the beginning. congrats on being die hards!!

    Good morning! Like the added challenge.

    I spent this last weekend with girlfriends I hadn't seen in over a year, so I didn't pay too much attention to my goals. Back on the wagon this morning.

    I am trying a new fitness class tonight at our Y, called Body Pump. It's an hour long so I am sure I'll get a great workout!

    Week 3 challenges are great. I am continuing my 5K training. went camping this weekend. Saturday was a "cheat" day. Sunday got up and did my 35 minute run. I don't like that i had that Cheat day but i suppose its better to do it one day then both days of the weekend.

    mshay05 when is your wedding? mine is september 4! sneaking right up!! time to kick it into high gear!!

    i completed level 2 of the 30 day shred this morning and will have spinning class tonight. i'm eating pretty healthy today and feeling so much better and energetic compared to how i felt last night after eating junk for 2 days! amazing!

    and i just got back from the store and stocked up of fruits & veggies so i'm ready for this week's challenge! also bought some ground flax seed, which i've never had before, to drop into my morning oatmeal or smoothies for some extra protein!

    and on glass #6!

    Doing good with my water and fruits/veggies, I couldn't workout yesterday I was too sore from Saturday's run, i am training for my first 5K and I ran up a killer hill in 90+ humid weather and it really wiped me out......then when i woke up on Sunday, OUCH-super sore even still today :frown: So I will take tonight off too to rest my muscles and will be back at it tomorrow! I plan to try quinoa this week, i keep hearing about it!! Good luck this wk girls!!:bigsmile:

    I am still loving our fruits and veggies challenge! I have noticed that i'm finding ways to work in veggies (which was my REAL challenge) to most of my meals. This is big! I also have started making the veg dish with our family dinners every night, no matter who is cooking the rest. This is such a great group, with great ideas and goals!!! Thanks everyone! Even though i haven't lost any weight in a while, i am pretty excited about the life changes going on! Yay!

    On vacation this week so the exercise challenge I will probably pass on but sticking to the water and veggies. Will try to find a new food but limited by us being guests. Hoping just to maintain this week w/o exercise and lots of good meals!!

    Did a Body Pump class last night...sore today, but it feels good. The class is an hour and then the kids and I took the dog for a 45 minute walk, so exercise was good yesterday.

    Didn't do so well on the water and fruit/veggies.

    This morning had a fruit smoothie for breakast, so have 1 serving of fruits in for today. 3 glasses of water done as well.

    lobster888 & shannahrose- my wedding is Sept. 18th! We just went and ordered the cake last night!!! So exciting! It coming up quickly for sure! These next couple of months are going to fly!!

    I am on glass # 3 right now. I am going to subway for lunch and I am going to load up on the veggies!! Also, a lady I work with brought in a whole bag of fresh peaches! So I am sure I will get all my fruits & veggies in today! :bigsmile: Going to a hour long body tone class tonight.

    Just my moment for the day - the doctors scale weighed me the same as my home scale!!! Before my new scale - the doctor's scale was the bad scale ( always two to three pounds more! )....wonder if this means that my scale is the bad scale now....haha!! I know it is just an accurate reading!!!!!

    Hope everyone has a happy healthy day!!!!!

    Hey all-

    Just checking in- been busy lately, but doing ok with my calories. :smile: Drinking all my water and getting my workouts in, too.

    Hope everyone is having a good week so far :flowerforyou:

    My new food this week is scapes. It's the shoot and flower of growing garlic. Last night i chopped it up and put it into a roasting pan with zucchini, baby sunburst squash, and eggplant, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and italian herbs then roasted at 425 for 20 min. SO good! The scapes gave off a light garlicky flavour that was amazing with the other vegetables. YUM!

    i say our next challenge should be "absolutely no calories consumed thru drinks"!
    i gave up artificial sugars and lately ive been putting honey on my tea and sugar in my coffee..... i just wanna end those calories all together!! id rather eat something!

    this means:
    no alcohol, fruit juice, sodas, frappes, lattes, chai... etc.

    just water!

    what do u losers think???

    OK, I promise to weigh in this Friday. I couldnt do it last week bc we were on vacation in NY... and it would have been super discouraging, as we ate tooonnnnss and also drank, which I normally dont do.
    OK RECAP OF GOALS:
    8 glasses of water
    5 fruits veggies
    40 min workout a day
    ...and try something new? I have tried EVERYTHING! I dont know if I could participate with that!!!!

    any advice?
