30 Pounds By Christmas 10wk challenge Part 2!

Well I have done 2hrs of my workout, Wii biggest loser (wii is playing up) I done the same work out 3 times & about 5 mins to the end. O well that's the choc burned off.
I'm excited about weighing-in (untie flow will add) but I know that I'm not going to loss much this wk. I'll just have to wait n see.

Today I have drank over 13 glasses of water. I also got in 105 minutes of exercise (I might have been a little excited about trying out my new HRM, lol) and am thinking about some light stretching, etc. later.

What type of HRM did you get? I have been looking for one.

Hi there guys,

Seeing I'm in Australia, and it's my Monday, I guess I get to weigh in first!

I started at 76kg (167.5 lb) last Monday, I fluctuated up to 77 (170 lb), and I'm back at 76kg. So I'll take that as not a gain.

My goal for today is to make it to 8 cups of water, I'm still very new to all this, and yesterday realised I drank no water at all. A bit scary really.

I have one of my assignments due on Monday so I'm hoping to get that knocked out today. I'll see how I go. I have another 6 assignments due within 2 weeks, so keep your fingers crossed for me.

Any hints on studying like mad and keeping the diet in check and the exercise up I'd appreciate it! Thanks!!

Time management becomes your best friend when dieting and surviving a school schedule
Stock up on healthy snacks and plan healthy meals in advance--saves the trouble and calories of ordering pizza
Be realistic about how long you can learn in one session (I don' t think I could tolerate studying more than 1 hour of research at a time!)
Set goals for how long you study and rewards when you complete your goals, both during and when you finish studying for the day e.g. exercise, favorite TV show etc
If you study at home, and snacking is a diversion from studying, try moving study time to a neutral location such as the library
Hope they help!

I have had a busy couple of days with work. I have been getting in all of my water with no problem. I always drink it with a straw and find that it helps me consume it faster. I have also been under calories the past few days. But did not get any exercise in yesterday. I had to work at 9 am and then my husband and I took a road trip. It was really nice.

I tried the Subway breakfast sandwiches yesterday and they were not too bad but lots of sodium from what I could find. Then my husband wanted Fazoli's. I did not make a wise choice there but what I did eat was good and I was still under calories. Then my favorite part was that we went to Whole Foods and Trader Joes. I could not figure out what to buy since it was my first time there. I picked up a little bit at each store and will have a list for my next visit.

My plan for the Halloween candy is easy since both of my kids are over 18. I will buy a couple of bags, mostly things my husband likes and I have no interest in such as Laffy Taffy. Anything left will be sent with my husband to his work or sent to my son and his platoon in Japan.

Since I did not exercise yesterday, I went on a 30 minute walk tonight. I wanted to go this afternoon when I got off work, but it started raining. But for my relaxtion, I am getting caught up on reading posts.

I have been trying new things to eat this week to. I have found that I like hummus but I am trying to figure out things to eat with it. The same with salsa. What do you eat with it?

I also tried couscous tonight and that was good. I used my steamer to make fresh green beans.

I can't wait to weigh in tomorrow. Hope everyone had a good day too.

iwant to be part of this challenge!

how do i become part of this challenge?

how do i become part of this challenge?

You are now a part of this challenge! We started last Monday, so just post your weight every Monday, and check back regularly for daily challenges and motivation!

I would like to become a part of this challenge. how do I join????

See my previous post, right before yours!

awesome are there any challenges for this week?

The regular goals every day are to stay under your calories and drink at least 10 cups of water. PoshTaush, the leader of this group, usually adds something new to try out, but I haven't seen one yet for tomorrow.

Can't wait for tomorrow morning, I really hope I lost some weight, also what happen to the first post looks like it got locked!

I fell off the bandwagon a bit over the weekend and this morning (Monday in Australia!) weighed in at 1kg/2 pounds heavier than last week! Kinda scary but I'm hoping I do so much exercise these days that I'll bounce back better than I used to and can still make the goal. I still want to make the goal! I guess I need to find better ways of comforting myself when I'm tired and sick of 'being good'. I missed out on 3 days exercise too. Had done about 2-3 hours every day for about 10 days (probably why I was so tired)

OK fofr those taking this 10 wk challenge, add me as a friend. Please and thank you. Good luck to you all.

Monday morning... first weigh in. I started at 80.6kg (178lbs) last week and weighed in at 79.4kg (175lbs) this morning - I am very happy with that! I feel a lot less bloated and much healthier in general. I've tried to mainly focus on portion control this week to shrink my stomach and it seems to have worked - I had a mini quiche yesterday afternoon and was so full, this would never have filled me up before! I've also managed to stay away from alcohol even though I went out with friends, and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be! My challenge for this week will be to add strength training to my workouts as I've only been doing cardio so far.
