    I teach dance to earn a little extra money while in grad school, so on the days that I teach I have to wear athletic clothing. On the days that I don't have time to go home and change in between classes and dance, I have to wear said clothing to school. Normally I feel like I shouldn't be wearing tight-fitting clothes in public, but today a girl in my class told me my outfit looked cute and that I looked cute in it! Yay, self esteem!!

    This week is going well so far for me but today will be a challenge as we are going over to a friends house for dinner. Hoping not to overindulge but i have been saving some calories. I have volunteered to drive so at least now wine. Today is also rest day for me.
    Yesterday 23/04/13 I did:

    1. 1hr 30mins of power walking
    2. I'm enjoying the challenge of new things. I did 30 sit ups ( i don't do strength training at all normally)
    3. 70 squats
    4.no rest today
    5.I had tinned mackerel fillets as a snack

    Hope everyone is coping well with the challenges

    Yesterday was another not so good food day for me.... I'm hoping that despite the bummer day I'm having, I'll be able to at least keep my food in check.

    1. Still only 1 day with exercise
    2. Skimble Workout Trainer app, I downloaded this Monday and used it. It has all kinds of exercises ranging from short to long, casual to intense, etc. It was really convenient!
    3. I did 50 more squats for a current total of 150
    4. I cooked flounder for dinner last night, and I'm having shrimp with my lunch :)

    I worked with weights today. Worked my shoulders, arms and chest (and obviously my squats lol)
    I had grilled chicken quesadillas and garden salad (was really yummy)
    However....My boyfriend took me to the movies and I ate a bag of movie theater popcorn.

    I did 100 squats putting me at 175 total

    and I drank 7 cups of water today

    So Monday and Tuesday were really bad days for me. I binged on fast food as a way of trying to make myself feel better about the disheartening things that had happened those days. According to the scale, I gained 4 pounds... And I have to say, none of that made me feel better. It made me feel worse. However, instead of spiraling out of control like I normally do and losing all this hard work I've done, I decided to make yesterday the best day I'd ever had. And I did! I had almost a gallon of water throughout the day, I did 100 squats, and I had a nice calorie deficit :) Also, no fast food! Anyway, this morning the scale said I'd lost 3 of those 4 pounds I gained! Now to keep it up today!

    My challenge results so far:
    1. Still only one day (Mon) of cardio
    2. Something New: Skimble Workout Trainer app
    3. 100 more squats for a total of 250
    4. Both fish meals complete! As well as a recipe posted!

    Also, I have been putting any challenge results that people have posted here on the "1st week challenge" tab of the spreadsheet. I want to make sure we are all up to date and get as many advantages as possible. If anyone doesn't want me to do this, just let me know. I'm only trying to help :)

    Go yellow team!

    That's great that you are filling in the challenges on the spreadsheet. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to do it or the captain.

    Yesterday (24/04/13) I had a rest day but I managed to eat a smoked salmon sandwich which completes the challenge. I'm going to have the left over salmon as a snack today. My challenge update so far is as follows:

    1. 1/4
    2. 2/1
    3. 140/350
    4.1 rest day
    5. 2/2

    My main challenge is getting the extra 3 days of cardio. I went back to work today but really feel tired but hopefully I will pull myself together and do 30mins tonight. I got a complement from my friend that I had lost weight today and that has given me a boost.

    Lets all keep going we can do this.

    You girls are really on top of things!! I'm wondering if one of you would be willing to take over as captain in May? I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks and I have no clue what sort of internet access I'll have...I'll be working out while on said vacation, but my check ins will be sort of sporadic...

    Also, I got my 2 fish done in one day...on Wednesday I had sushi for lunch and tunafish for dinner. :) (the same day I spent 60 minutes on the stationary bike and I remembered how much that seat makes your butt hurt lol)

    I can take over as captain while you're gone if you like. That wouldn't be a problem at all :)

    Awesome, thanks! I leave on May 10 and come back on May 27, but will likely be jet-lagged as all hell, as my whole family is going to Europe. (I am really bad at getting back on track after jet lag. Like really bad lol)
