Yesterday was pretty good. 4.52 mile walk in 1:12 hr! Then my Strongtober challenge with a deck of cards. Eating was on target, still under my calorie intake so that's good. I find that I don't drink all of my smoothie. Not much of an appetite in the morning but at least I can get about half of it in. Today, same thing, walk and whatever my daily challenge will be. Hope it's easy!

We have only 3 more days left before our 2nd weighin on Oct 12 (20% of time). Please note that the total group weight loss will be from the most current weighin. This means that if you have lost any weight in 1st weighin but do not log in the 2nd weighin then that loss will not show up in total group weight loss. If we, as a group, want to lose 2000 lbs (1 ton) by the end of the year then we all have to stay current on our weighin. As an example, may be 100 of us need to lose 20 lbs or any combination of that by the end of the year and show that in last weighin to get to the magical number of 100x20 = 2000. Can we?

Yesterday was good, got all my steps in, good food choices, under calorie goal, hot yoga. Today I have a lunch out so that will be difficult but have already done my dvd before work and have spin class and boot camp tonight.

Yesterday was pretty good for me, too I was getting ready for my 2 mile walk last night, and I stubbed my pinkie toe. Felt a bit dizzy momentarily, then had to sit until it hurt less. I was able to go on the walk, and I ran for a few short intervals (every time I crossed a street). Anyone ever broken a toe that can tell me about it?

Goals for today:
- track all food and exercise
- C25K Week 3, Day 2 and abs (didn't do abs yesterday)
- Go to bed earlier

My goals for yesterday have been achieved, I walked 13k+. Same objectives stand today, 10K walking and stay under ma calories! HAve a great day all

Yesterday I ended up getting an hour horseback ride in where I felt it in my legs and core pretty well. Didn't get to the gym after because, well, it wasn't a great ride. Calories stayed below 1500, so I'm happy. Back to a new personal low and excited to keep it up for the next weigh in

Today I wantED to get my lifts in at lunch (didn't have time yesterday) and another ride in the evening... but my boss is taking us out for lunch so I'll have to be pretty mindful of what I eat and try and squeeze in my lifts after work. Riding may have to wait until tomorrow

Didn't quite hit the water and calorie goal yesterday, but today is a new day.

Goals for Day 17

- Drink 80-90 oz of water
- Stay under calorie goal
- 2 mile run (run for the entire 2 miles again)

Keep it going!!

Here's my plan...

exercise 5-6 days a week ... done for yesterday ... walked 4 miles this morning
pack my lunch the night before ... day off work today ... being careful
stay within calorie allotment ... for yesterday ... will do better today ... wasn't worth it yesterday.
no trigger/junk foods ...always working on it
to be at least 132.0 by the time my MOTB dress comes in for final fitting ... Working on it

Walked early this morning. Have a challenge to finish. Maybe walk again this evening with DH and grandpuppy. It will depend on the weather.

Hope everyone had a good week.

Yesterday was ok for me. I didn't get week 6, run 2 of C25K in last night, but I also started week 6 a day early. I will get my run in tonight as I do not work both jobs.

My other goals for the day:

Get my calories, but stay within carbs.
Reach 10,000 steps, with 5,000 before I leave work this evening
Get my water (at least 8 cups)

Workout completed and a new squat record of 190lbs x 5 reps, so I'm pretty happy!! I'm finding myself very hungry today not sure why though...
I hope everyone is having a great day!

Day 16 wasn't so good for me. Supervisor took us out to lunch and although myself and two other coworkers split a steak 3 ways, I was still full the remainder of the day and didn't eat dinner. I've noticed that I don't eat enough during the day to keep my metabolism up.

Actually, your metabolism won't slow by any noticeable level simply because you don't eat for a few hours. Eating small meals more frequently is a great way to manage hunger and keep yourself energized, but you won't go in to "starvation mode" simply due to delaying a meal or skipping one. As long as at the end of the day, you're consuming the right amount of calories, vitamins, and minerals, it doesn't make a big difference metabolically when/how often you eat barring any medical concerns. Listening to your hunger levels is a very important thing that is easy to lose sight of with all the recommendations on how to do everything "right" - I say good on you for not forcing yourself to eat. Personally I got caught up in the frequent meals idea at first and almost always ended up eating over. I also felt nauseous and bloated all the time because I was eating when my body wasn't interested. Now I normally fast for 16 hours a day (eating my alotted calories from 3-11PM), and have continued to have good energy levels, work out regularly, and improve my overall health. Do what works best for you

any way today i did good, i have a very sweet tooth and made chocolate brownies and portioned them as i would allow myself to have as a treat. Ive never used beetroot in brownies before but they taste great, and as long as the kids dont scoff the lot, i can allow myself a small piece as an when.
Stuck well within my calorie goal, and hours karate class completed.

Today was my day off from work and didn't get all my water or all my steps. Will be working harder tomorrow.
Looking forward to the weigh in on Sunday.

Great job everyone!

Yesterday went well, got in over 11, 400 steps, 64 oz of water and did day 8 of Level 2 DS. Hope to keep the momentum up today.
