ok I need a group/challenge to join cause I need that extra

Please excuse my intermittent response times. Im on my ambulance right now at work and im getting hit tonight. Count me in though... ill do whatever I can to help organize, motivate, and update!!!

Thanks for leading us Shandke

Well, it's Wednesday morning, off to work and I've made a Vega power shake for breakfast. Packing a raw lunch with some ezekiel bread and I've cooked some Tilapia for dinner. I'm trying to eat less refined sugars and focus on protein and vegetables (difficult sometimes, working next to a deli and a yogurt shop) :P

I'm covering a class tonight so teaching an extra hour of zumba, and I will try to add 15 minutes of weights to the end.

Have a great day everyone!

Ok, so.... to make it easier on shandke or whoever is compiling this information lets post a standardized response. im just using what someone posted earlier. copy and paste this in a new reply and fill it out to fit your goals.

if everyone is ok with it, we will do a weekly weigh in on friday mornings (unless fridays dont work for a majority) so, every friday, copy and paste the following and repost it.

DATE: (04/13/2011)
Week: 1
SW: XXX lbs
CW: XXX lbs
GW: XXX lbs
Mon - Daily plan / goal
Tue - Daily plan / goal
Wed - Daily plan / goal
Thurs - Daily plan / goal
Fri - Daily plan / goal
Sat - Daily plan / goal
Sun - Daily plan / goal
Additional Goals:


at the start of a new week we should post these stats and then one person should put em in a blog or a new post so we can see and compare.

so by tomorrow (sat) or sunday we should have a full list of whos in our little group.

also i think that our group shouldnt just be about posting our own goals and weights, we can do that by ourselves if we wanted to. we should want to help each other and get to know each other. so if you find yourself having trouble working out or staying away from the pantry, POST, and we should all help!

Please add in your comments and ideas. this should be something we all create. put in to this as much as you want of as little. either way, i look forward to meeting you all and getting to know you better.

by the way, my name is Gabe. haha nice to meet you. ADD ME!

EDIT:

the last friday in may is the 27th... so shall we calculate our goals to that?

Hi Gabe!! I think that is a wonderful idea! Everyone contributing in the makings of the challenges and what not..

What does everyone think about this week? Since we are starting on a wednesday should we weigh on friday?? That is only 2 days...I guess it really doesnt matter. Wondering what you guys were all thinking...

Good luck everyone!!

Good evening everyone! Hope y'all had a good day.....I kind of agree that I am probably not quite organized enough to plan my workouts ahead of time....I kind of work out with either my daughter or husband and do whatever they are up to!

Hope you are thinking of some good goals and be sure to brag, grumble or shout whenever you need ! We'll be here to cheer you up or cheer you on....

Looks like several are are already kicking some butt and working it out! I just hope I can keep up with you young folk! LOL..

If you haven't noticed, I am a night owl....we usually don't even start working out until about 8:00. So I may not be on here during prime time. Have a good one and I look forward to seeing and hearing some cheering and bragging!

so, heres our group!

- nimmi1302
- cookiejones
- acmcoc
- ashmom86
- adsmommy
- slindsey137
- wagsgirls
- ggut


shall we do an official weigh in on friday morning? I'll private message everyone to remind them.

so i too think our current format is a bit long... but those who wanna use it go ahead....

lets say that we will at least need the following information:

---

DATE: (04/13/2011)
Week: 1
SW: XXX lbs
CW: XXX lbs
GW: XXX lbs (by friday May 27)

---

it will be easiest to log this information.

i also like the idea of weekly mini goals. like perhaps start week one with:

8 cups of water a day or a total of 56 cups for the week

Anyway. if you guys dont mind, ill private message everyone thursday night to remind to post your official starting stats.

good luck!

How is everyone doing with their goals today?

I'm trying to drink my water. I've had 48 oz today, which isn't great, since I taught 2 hours of class :P Gah. Glug, glug, glug.

Ok my in-laws are in town this weekend.....not going to be easy to fit in exercise! Really going to have to watch what I eat....which isn't easy over a weekend either! Any suggestions on how to entertain while watching what you eat....I always feel bad if I'm not cooking or offering something to snack on......
