Off to do some Zumba at home
May sound crazy, but I'm going to do my hair and make-up first (I am goin out afterward to a softball game/dinner)
Plus when I like the way I'm dressed and how I look, I can enjoy my workout that much more!
There's a lot of mirrors in the GYM! haha
I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this!

Exercise - check. Only 45 minutes instead of 50 but HRM showed 675 calories at the end of the step class so pretty chuffed! Water - check. 12 glasses! Healthy dinner with loved one - check! Went to our favourite italian restaurant with my boyfriend and did NOT have a glass of wine - water only! Under calorie goal - check! I
'm loving these little challenges and it's great to see how you guys are doing - helps a lot with the motivation!0 -
Hi all!! Just checking in. I have been doing pretty good overall. I have been working hard to get my 45 minutes of execise in and I'm managing to stay under my calories. YAY!! I'm having trouble getting all of my water in though. I work in surgery and I can't break out and go to the bathroom when ever I want, so I try to watch how much water I drink. I drank a bottle this morning and by lunch I had to pee so bad!! I guess I will figure something out. Anyways, I hope everyone is doing well. Our group is expanding so quickly and everyone is working so hard. Great job everyone!0

Congrats on surviving the challenge today and not having that glass of wine! Question: If you dont mind me asking, what HRM do u have, does it work well and how much does it cost? Im considering buying one but I'm low on funds right now. However, whenever I purchase one I want to make sure it is a good one. Thanks!0 -
I am in ! I would like to get rid of about 14lbs but if I am following a plan with others I think it will help out a lot.0

Exercise ~ Check
Water ~ check
Dinner ~ check
We took a different route this afternoon on our bikes, bad choice, busy time of day and too much traffic. I usually ride in the mornings, not much traffic.
I use a POLAR heart rate monitor. I've got 2. I really like mine, I've had it for years. Mine doesn't calculate the calories, but I'd like to get one that does.
Is it me, or does everyone else wish the 'most recent' messages would be in the beginning? That way we wouldn't have to go all the way to the end of ALL the msgs. Before long, there will be oodles of msgs. Just sayin'! 8 ~ )0 -
This is my only day off this week, so I have been pretty lazy. But I've been on my feet, doing laundry. And recovering from my intense work out yesterday. I will be going out later to work out as well...
I'm excited because I've actually motivated my mom to go with me! She'll be going to her first class! Yay.
The real challenge is going to be tonight after my boyfriends softball game when we all go out for pizza and beer. But I'm going to enjoy my NICE BIG SALAD and going to have lots of water instead of the beer. Seeing as today wasnt a big workout day.0 -

I did awsome getting in the water. But the exercise is hard to get in with 3 kids under 2 . Anybody have any suggestions. I also been good with my calories but I have ate after seven which sucks.
When my kids were younger I would put in a Wiggles dvd. Entertainment for the kids and movement for mom. The one we have is 'The Wiggles Toot Toot!'. I never could keep up with all the dancing, but it was a lot of action and the kids loved 'wiggling' with me.0 -
Had a pretty good day. Drank all my water, stayed under my calories and am about to ride the stationary bike for 45 minutes while I watch grey's anatony. My husband worked this evening, so I had dinner with my kiddos. I did discuss my challenge and eating healthy with the girls at work today though. They are all very supportive and some have actually signed up on MFP after seeing the progress I have made these last 6 weeks, so that is pretty cool. Well, off to ride the bike!0

I've drank 11 glasses of water almost and not done yet! I worked out doing 20 minutes of yoga this morning and then 33 minutes after work running and walking on an incline on the treadmill! I'm pretty happy with what I've done today! Good work to everyone today!0

Hi all. I did not work out today between the soreness of my muscles and the cramps, I just couldn't make it. I did get all of my water in today and did go out to dinner with my husband and discussed my weight loss efforts with him.
I do not go into work tomorrow until 8 pm so I plan to do some cooking for meals next week, working out just a little more, and then planning my menus for my next TS shows. Oh and I plan to go look for HRM's to see if I can find one I like that is in my price range.0 -

I did great 3 days in a row, but today I blew it! I got all my water in, but I went way over my calories, and didn't exercise much. I went to a ladies gathering and there were lots of snacks, and I didn't stop myself! I went straight there after work and just got home, so no time for exercise. I am sleepy and I have to be up in 6 hours! Tomorrow will be better!0
