    My weekend was a bust also. Dinner with college friends on Saturday night, including an awesome margarita, and then a concert at House of Blues on Sunday night. Took a walk on Saturday afternoon and also some tipsy dancing at the concert! Not nearly enough exercise to offset my calorie intake, but I had a great time. Time to get back on track!!

    Starting day 11! I had an emotional weekend. Friday was not a good food day but Saturday and Sunday I was determined to get back on track and I did. I hope I do reach my goal of losing 5 pounds at the end of this challenge but I'm just happy I'm sticking with my other goals which are praying more, logging EVERYTHING I eat, and just trying to stay positive about everything. I've also added a lot of friends that will help me stay healthy!!

    Well, since I missed the beginning, I'll start tomorrow.

    1) Continue T25 workouts per the schedule. If I can't do the double day, do the second workout on the rest day
    2) Plan out meals for lunches and snacks ahead of time
    3) Log meals and exercise everyday (and hit a 30 day streak)
    4) Give it my best effort
    5) Lose 5 pounds or 2 inches by day 21

    What a great challenge! Thank you so much for sharing :)

    I would love to make some new friends. Anyone feel free to send me a request!

    Day 1/21 - Did my T25 workout and got a good calorie burn out of it! Logged all of my meals and exercise already and have planned out lunch and snacks for tomorrow. Worked harder than I ever have before at T25. Good start to a quick challenge!

    Day 14/21 here. I've had a busy week and wasn't able to check in, but have been doing my best to meet my daily goals.
    It hasn't been perfect, as there were a few days of complete chaos when I was over on calories. However, I still tracked and was aware of what I was eating.
    I haven't exercised every day, but completed week 3 of C25K. I was supposed to do day 2 of week 4 today, but am exhausted after a stressful work day. I took the kids for a 30min walk instead avoiding exercise though, so that's an improvement.
    Keep it up everyone, small changes to daily habits can make a huge difference!

    15/21 went well did Zumba and then came home so hungry so I've eaten some snacks more than I normally would. I have to remember to have more protein throughout the day.

    Day 15 of 21- The final stretch for me ( for this challenge, will just keep pushing for bigger goals and better habits when its over) Had a good day today, work was busy but ate healthy, have encouraged people , got in a good workout this morning, have not quite hit water goal yet but will before night is over. SO inspiring to see so many of you still going strong, and motivating to see new people starting the challenge. I hope its the first step toward a lifetime of healthy habits! God Bless

    2.) Incorporate weight training at least 2-3 days per week
    3.) Read something enjoyable a couple of days per week

    5.) Do not cave in to cravings and do not eat when bored
    6.) Transition to a healthier diet/ less snacking
    7.) Lost 10 pounds by day 21.
