GREEN TEAM-WEEK 4

Okay I had a couple of total eye openers this weekend. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I kept on track no treats. Friday night the parents all took their daughters to Dairy Queen after their basketball game and I thought, well how bad could a Buster Bar be - I'll have that. 440 calories I discovered after the fact - it took my 1 hour and 15 minutes to walk that off!!! Apparently, I do NOT learn anything as Saturday I had a McDonald's Pralines and Cream McFlurry (I know, I know, it isn't even real ice cream pretty much just frozen oil). That would be an incredible 680 calories, really what was I thinking!! I had to split my walk up into 2 different times in order to burn off all those calories! So this was actually a good activity for me to think through the consequences of making some of those high calorie choices!! Today I was totally on track - didn't veer off at all.0

And I have to add: Tammie you are seriously a machine - that is an amazing workout - 1063 calories burned!!!!!!!!!!! Very inspiring! You must feel really really great about that!0

tonight had 6 junior mints for 42 calories however burned 486 calroies on my 2 mile run this morning, will do my last chance workout in the morning.
today began day one of my new routine, i started my workouts before work, 630 comes early but I know its very important to adapt so I can continue my losses...0 -
Beginning of week 257.4
TODAY: 251.8
Total Loss: 5.6 lbs
Last Chance workout this morning was a 3.1 mile run, .6 mile walk and about half a deck of cards. Not bad for me. Challenege complete. Don't think I will be eating extra candy again for a while. The challenge was interesting but not worth it for my body. I eat the occassional piece of candy but treating daily doesn't feel right anymore. I really don't like how it makes me feel. Can't wait to see how everyone else did!0 -

Sometimes we have to live to learn that is why I liked this week's challenge. This is also why I tell everyone that I work with to journal whether it be on here or in a notebook until you really see the calories you are putting into you body, you can't change it. Great job on following through.

Happy Monday everyone. For all of you that have already weighed in, THANK YOU. For everyone else, please try to get them into before 9pm tonight. Also I am missing seeing any challenge posts from zzzzia, southerngirlstarving, and xoemmytee..if you posted somewhere else, please let me know, so I can see them and check you off as completed. To any veterans out there, Happy Veteran's Day and thank you for all of your service. My husband is a vet, who served in Desert Storm, so this is his day. Also if the next couple of Last Chance Workouts look military in style, you can blame him. He loved the deck of cards idea, and built upon that..uh oh!!
Today I ate a fun size Reese's peanut butter cup 80 calories. I burned 1645 calories by going for a 60 minute 3.5 mph walk, 65 minutes on the elliptical, and 90 minutes of raking leaves. Net calories=1565.
I am glad to see the great weight losses this week. Have a great night everyone!!

Good evening Team green.
I found the challenge this week interesting a nice eye opener.
Start of the week 181
Ending 179.8
::sigh:: I was hoping for more but with ToM I'm a little blotted. Sounds like a lot of us had fun with the challange this week. As usual Tammy you are crazy and an inspiration.0 -
This week has been a whirl wind. I have had to keep track of my food/treats on paper *old school* since i haven't really had time to log on.
My weakness is cake... chocolate in particular. I wasn't too worried since I keep it out of the house. Unfortunately Friday was my husbands birthday and I had the smallest piece of chocolate cake which was still 230 calories. Luckily I stayed below my calorie goal for the day by restricting myself to a dressing free salad for dinner. I ran 2.58 miles for a total calorie burn of 262 calories. Soooo not worth it.
Unfortunately I had no weight loss this week and feel like I have plateaued. I am going to hit it hard this week and limit carbs and really focus on a new workout.0 -
Keep pushing through, you had a big weight loss in the last couple of weeks, so your body is trying to adjust. You have this, stay strong, stay focused!! I love cake too. Good for you for only having a small piece!!This week has been a whirl wind. I have had to keep track of my food/treats on paper *old school* since i haven't really had time to log on.

Good Morning Everyone:
I am missing 2 weigh ins- Tolsoy26 and zzzzia, if anyone sees them one, please remind them to get their weights to me A.S.A.P. Thanks. My weigh was previous: 186.9 current: 186.4 -2.5lbs. I'll take it at this stage and with the week I had. I do know that I will not be indulging every day though again. This could have easily been a 4-5 lb weight loss without the vices. Have a great day everyone!!
