    Felt myself wavering the last couple days, but it stuck with it! I've been in a blah mood, and I always turn to snacking. Really trying to stick with this though! I've lost several pounds already and that is a huge motivator. Determined to finish out the month and keep going! Even started the squat challenge, which even day 1 is more than I'm used to doing, I usually don't exercise like that. We roller skate or go for walks, or clean house, but I really don't dedicate exercise time, and I need to! I think this will be a good start.

    I am loving this challenge for keeping me on track! I was over my calories by 200+ today AFTER taking an hour+ walk. So while my family is all watching tv, I am running the stairs to get rid of those extra calories. At first I thought, no big deal because I have more than enough saved from the previous couple of days to cover them. Then I started feeling guilty and thinking about the extra calories that I am going to have tomorrow at a wedding we are attending, so I got off my butt, set the over timer and ran the stairs for 5 sets of 5 minutes. I feel so proud of myself right now. And tomorrow I will just have to dance my butt off to burn the wine I plan on drinking.
    Thank you for holding me accountable!:flowerforyou:

    I was reading one of the comments and someone said you did a good job matching up buddies? Did I miss something?

    I have learned sooooo much for these past couple of years!! It's amazing how we live day to day and not realizing ALL the stuff we do to ourselves!! Good for you for figuring this out now and not when it's too late!! :drinker:

    I thought I missed something too because I didn't understand the buddy thing either.

    Thanks for creating this challenge! It has taken my motivation to another level and I can't thank you enough for that.

    Do you have these challenges every month? If so I am ready to sign up for next month. thumbsup.gif

    I'm loving this challenge. Even on days when I am allowing extra food or a cheat day if you will, I'm very conscious of what I'm eating. Before this challenge, a cheat day meant I had no accountability and didn't think about it and my cheat day calories were probably in the 3000 range. Today I kept it at 2000 calories. Bonus for me. Thanks for starting this challenge :)

    I had a day trip to Christchurch today, and am impressed at how well I did!

    On the morning flight they offered the choice of a muffin or a cookie time cookie - I managed to decline both!

    When I got to Christchurch we went to grab some breakfast. Normally I would get something like Eggs Benedict (2 poached eggs, English muffins, salmon slices and hollandaise sauce), especially if work is paying for it! Today I just had one egg on wholegrain toast (I was planning on having some avocado as well, but the cafe didn't have any).

    At the airport while waiting for my flight home, I came so close to buying a giant cheese scone (easily 250+ cal), but instead just had a little banana.

    On the late afternoon flight home I normally look forward to 'Koru Hour' - a glass of wine with cheese and crackers, but today I passed up the wine, and had vegetable crisps instead of cheese and crackers (only 50 cal)

    I planned ahead yesterday and made a big batch of Turkey Mince Chilli, so it was already to go and I would have time to eat between getting home and my netball game later in the evening.

    All in all, I managed to make some very good choices and I'm proud of myself for it :)

    Doesn't feel good when you say, "I think I'm finally getting this new life thing!!" :flowerforyou: CONGRATS!!

    I put on a top this morning I haven't worn for a couple of weeks. It's normally quite tight around my hips, today it's much looser!
