Hi!
Yesterday was rather exhausting, I had a long day at work, with several hours of teaching - and this morning another class, too. So now my voice definitely needs some rest ;-)
But all in all, yesterday went good, I did stay below my calorie limit, and all that walking around in the classroom for some hours should be good, too.

Today:
Stay below calorie limit
get another walk in
drink 8 glasses of water
organize my desk at home

I gained over the weekend and I wasnt sure why (still don't know), and curiosity today got the best of me. I lost the 2 pounds I gained, thank goodness. Must have been water.

Today, my goal is to appropriately space my calories (not to have a large gap in time with no intake).

Yesterday went by just fine and I was able to recover fully. Starting today I'm entering cake marathon because it's my daughters birthday this weekend and I always bake her elaborate cakes so the next 2 days I will keep busy... My goal is to indulge sensibly, within my calories, and enjoy this special time. after this weekend I only have to worry about 4 more holidays
So happy I have to group here to make healthy plans and stay on track. We can do this!

My goal may be a nap & a big dinner.

I did a 15 min warm up followed by 45 min of lifting & an hour of swimming all before a full work day!

I was almost able to meet all of my goals yesterday - did the strength training this morning instead of last night.

Although this was not a goal, I was able to go to bed by 10:30 pm which is an improvement from the midnight bedtime I've been doing the last several weeks.

Goals for Day 24

- Drink 80-90 oz of water
- Stay under calorie goal (includes eating back no more than half of exercise calories)
- Jog two miles without stopping

Balancedwalker,

Thanks for setting up this challenge. My fault, but my name is listed twice. See line 3040.

Yesterday balancedwalker asked us about the weather and how it impacted our goals. For me, when we have weather fronts move through the area (which is pretty frequent in the Mid-Atlantic region in spring and fall) I am prone to nasty headaches. And that is exactly what happened yesterday and it's lingering today. I struggle to meet my food and fitness goals when I feel like this. Blegh.

I met my food and water goals yesterday, but not the 10K step goal because I felt like I did. Am worried that today will be the same but am going to try my hardest.

Have a great Day 24, everyone!

I am pretty sure I forgot to "check" in yesterday... all is well. I stayed within my calories and got my exercise in. My goal for day 24 is to gain more knowledge about general diet and weight loss, and to be more positive today. Yesterday went from good to grumpy in less than 10 seconds, so I will devote a little bit of my time today for me to re-group and clear my mind (thinking of doing a little yoga later today). Staying within my calories and getting my workout in.

Day 23 went great for me. Got in two walks with my dog and stayed under my calorie goals. So far for Day 24 I've got in one walk and a 45 min strength training workout. Hoping I stay under food calories today even though I'm going out to dinner and to get another walk in.

Yesterday I did fairly well - was only over on calories by about 100, but could have had more veggies instead of pie!

Today I'm continuing to keep it simple by aiming to stay under or close to my calorie limit, drinking enough water, and sticking to reasonable sodium levels. So far so good, though I could have drank more water so far in the day.

I went above and beyond todays goals!

I did 60 minutes of walking and 30 minutes of shopping, and a 73 minute strength training workout.
Tomorrow I will be taking it a lot easier, I need some recovery time for my muscles.
