Day By Day Challenge-Part 3 (november)

SUNDAY:
1. abs
2. pushups
3. water
4 log everything!

I failed at all except water. Going to keep the same goals for today and add two more.
5. try a work out on exercisetv.
6. go for a walk outside (if weather permits)

So I did find a great workout on exercisetv. it had abs and push ups included. but I may try to do some on my own later. I have drank almost 50 ounces of water before 3pm. I am logging everything. I need to see it in my face again. I don't "fudge" my numbers, I just sometimes "forget" to log something I know I didn't have any business eating in the first place. I don't like seeing the doritos and chocolate covered marshallows in my diary, but I promised myself I would stay more accountable. Maybe that will stop me from eating that crap.
headed out for my walk now. Its too beautiful outside to be stuck in the house. Also, rain is coming this weekend.

I haven't been as vocal lately as I have been, so I wanted to take the time to acknowledge everyone:

Nam, hope you were able to keep stress under control.

Beth, here's to a better week! I'm with ya! We're supposed to have good weather for the next few days.

Kathy, I thought Leslie only went up to 3 miles. a 4 mile walk is incredible. I used to do it, but I find her voice annoying...lol Congrats on quitting smoking.

frub, your goals sound great! I had a pizza crisis over the weekend too!

fitbot, did you make to the gym? what didja do while you were there?

whoa Jess, 6 loads of clothes. well while the kitchen is in shambles, hopefully you can get it done. I hope the headache subsides. I was dealing with them last week. The neverending story is a classic. A slumber party with your daughter sounds awesome. You're a great mom! And you know I'll stay on you about your water. Glad that payroll is done. My belly felt the same way from the insertion a few weeks ago. I'm finally feeling better now.

Steph, great job on the loss! and two a day workouts really increase your metab.

Choco- your workouts sound intense! great job staying motivated to get it done!

Hey Nicole, miss you. Hope you're doing great!

So sorry if I forgot anyone. I'll be on later to set up new goals.

Leela.

Hi people good job on your work. The most tragic thing that could have happened happened. My competer hardrive crashed so I have no computer a majority of day after school. I guess this is just a setback, swimming season is starting and i hope i loss some weight.

2) STAY WITHIN MY CALORIES!!!
3) Work on my Christmas projects.
4) Water!
5) do the Day 9 workout from the Thanksgiving walking challenge.

Leela--Hi! She also has at least 3-5 mile walks (I have three, anyway!) Sometimes I find her annoying, too, so I listen to music while following the video.

Monday's recap:

Monday
1. abs YES
2. pushups YES, MY ARMS, BACK AND SHOULDERS ARE KILLING ME THIS MORNING
3. water 14 CUPS TOTAL
4. log everything! YES
5. try a work out on exercisetv. YES, FOUND 2 GREAT WORKOUTS
6. go for a walk outside (if weather permits) 3.75 MILES

I would like to be as successful today as yesterday:
Tuesday:
1. atleast 10 cups of water.
2. add healthy snacks on the menu
3. only eat if I'm hungry
4. no late night snacking.

They are all centered around food today because this is the area I've been struggling in lately. It goes without saying that I will do abs, push ups if I'm not sore later and workout atleast 45 minutes. There's a zumba class tonight I may go to because my Sunday class got canceled. Am I crazy for doing zumba Tues PM, Wed AM and Wed PM? My body is either going to love me or hate me afterwards.

have a great day!

11/8 Goals:
1) Water -- CHECK
2) Laundry -- Raked the leaves instead
3) Vacuum the house -- Ooh, I forgot about this one and my internet is not working at home...so I did not re-check my goals
4) Went to the gym this morning -- but if I can do the video tonight as well, I will be one happy girl -- That didn't work out

11/9 Goals:
1) Water -- 4 bottles (one more then yesterday)
2) Video tonight as I did not get up this morning

Wow! Chocolickkyss, you are doing fantastic!

Steph: Thank you for the support. This challenge really helps keep me on track.

Tuesday's goals:
1. More greens at lunch and dinner. FAIL
2. Loads of water. Try and do the Leela challenge and drink every hour. CHECK
3. Stay within cals and no booze after work. MAJOR FAIL

only passed on one today with the water. I was meeting an old work friend after work after a really long time. He has not seen me since I started on this journey and told me how hot I looked which was great but I gave into temptation and had a few glasses of wine but no dinner. When I got to the station to get my train home I was starving so got a grilled chicken burger no fries though. Feeling rubbish because I know I have undone all my recent hardwork and annoyed at myself. So tomorrow is a new day and I will start afresh!

Goals for weds...
1. Stay under cals and no excuses
2. After evening meeting go straight home and get in the gym to do at least 30 mins cardio but hopefully 60.
3. More fruit and veg.
4. Must cook own evening meal and excuses of late meeting and gym not good enough.
5. Speak to the specialist about my foot and make a decision finally on surgery.

Hope you've all had a great day!
