    So happy to have met my commitment to meet Soccer_Chick at the gym at 5 this AM and got in about 40 minutes on the elliptical.

    For the rest if the day: soccer skills practice right after work. Then I want to see about getting new batteries for my HRM (before it dies - ack!!) and figure out a weight workout for tomorrow.

    Let's bring it everyone!!

    Burned 494 cals with some cardio and crunches at the gym this morning bright and early! Awesome job Frickin' Kat!! I have packed a tasty and healthy lunch and snacks and have an indoor soccer game tonight at 7:00. Hoping to burn another 500 or so cals. If I'm lucky perhaps it will be a 1000+ day today!

    Other goals for the day are to drink lots of water and get to be at a reasonable hour (before 11:30 would be nice).

    Happy Monday fellow 20/75'ers!!

    My goal today is to keep my head in the game!

    For me, this is totally mental. I know that I control what I eat, I know that I control when and how long I exercise, so my goal today is to hold myself accountable and give up on crafting excuses for my own behavior.

    I held myself accountable and did not drink any alcohol this weekend, and today I feel like I really accomplished something! (Especially when I think of all the empty calories I saved..ick!) So, I’ll use that as motivation to move my *kitten* after work, and accomplish something even better… BURNING calories! :happy:

    Good luck everyone - we are taking control!!

    I am right there with you sgouti1. It is mental with me too, I had a mental lapse last week I gained 4 lbs but luckily it must have been a bad water weight gain with that time that lined up with weigh in because today I weighed and it all fell back off. I need to be more accountable for the type of food I eat vs how much. Need to make more fruit and veggies available than snack stuff.

    I want to take a good brisk walk with the kids (finally nice again today - southwest Kansas is bipolar when switching seasons) and start 30 Day Shred again...or just do a workout with Jillian Michaels. :-)

    They'll be psyched; I just don't know how psyched Mom will be by the end of THIS particularly difficult Monday.

    Good luck to all and congrats for sticking with it til Day #2! We've made it this far, why not keep going til Day #3?!! (And #4...and #75! We can do this!)

    I'll be doing 45 minutes on the elliptical after work and challenging myself by increasing the resistance/incline. I'd LOVE to be able to wake up early enough to work out BEFORE work; however, I barely get up in enough time to get to work ON TIME :yawn:

    Today is light cardio, probably 30 mins on the recumbent bike, followed by my arm routine. I hope I can get that gardening in today that I missed yesterday. My yard is a mess!

    I wanted to ditch the car and walk to work today. AND I DID! Now I just want to avoid the urge to call for a ride home and walk back home today. Its only a 20 min walk. Adding just the walk in the morning and the walk in the afternoon will increase my daily steps taken by 4,000!

    My goal today is to just get up and MOVE! Did not sleep much last night (up from 12:00 until 3:30ish) and then slept in late and came into work late. So...my goal today is just to go home and move and not fall asleep until 9:00! I know, sounds easy but today I am sluggish and not feeling well.

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! :)

    Today I was able to wake up early and do my strength training in the morning before work, although I am very sore and may have pulled a muscle....I was very active this weekend including cleaning, yoga, hiking/running a little over 2 hours and eliptical for 45 mins! But I did indulge in a few beers and pizza oops! So my goal this afternoon is to take it easy and eat very healthy and not to drink, shouldn't be so hard right? I am hoping not to have any drinks all week!

    Good luck to all and have a great week!

    Back to the work week and walking at lunch. Walked only 30 minutes. Tonight I'm either going to cut the grass with my push mower or do an exercise video.
