    Day 5 - TGIF stayed under calories today thanks to walking and stair climbing :) I love how exercise gives you more calories. Weekend here we come!

    25 October- had breakfast super early before work, then lunch/dinner after. Work was exercise today for me as I came home and napped when I got done :) stayed right at my calorie limit today but not terribly healthy. Lots of water though!

    Oct 26 - knowing I was going out with GFs, I hiked yesterday for an hour and a half. Tough hike so had some great appetizers and the girls! Starting week #2 - step up the exercise and watch all the little 100 calories like sugar in coffee or a handful of pistachios that puts me over.

    October 26. - flaked on exercise but did great on calories today. Hubby and I are planning our meals four days at a time and that really helps me stick to my calories. Goal this next week is to keep posting and add in four workouts.

    Gunpowder green tea is a form of Chinese green tea, out of the Zhejiang province. Its a nice, sturdy green tea (not delicate, like jasmine green) and I love the flavor. Green tea, well, hot tea in general, is good for you and there are even studies to back that up! Its also a nice cool-weather drink :)

    Not too bad! Didn't get much exercise aside from work the past three days, but am getting right back into it this afternoon! And aside from eating a cinnamon roll that I accidentally caught with my shirt at work (frosting and everything!), I have been fairly consistent with calories and eating well. Overall feeling pretty good :) How about everyone else?

    28 October- So after work went for a nice 3 mile run before the weather got sour, then went to the gym for a 45 minute round on the elliptical. I also managed to get in a 10 minute ab workout, something I've been meaning to do daily but haven't...

    No breakfast this morning as I had a hard time waking up for work, but ate at my calorie threshold and am feeling better about not doing much the past few days:p Going to try and keep this up the rest of the week!

    I would like to try and start today. I need the encouragement...

    Well today I did my full hour on elliptical burning 906 calories. I am under by a couple hundred calories since I'll eat a few apples tonight.

    Trying to do 1200 calories a day + any exercise burnt. Have GOT to lose noticeable weight ASAP.

    Thanks!

    Stayed in my calories today and got at least some exercise by taking the stairs in the parking garage. Need to get to the gym! Will put it in my schedule tomorrow as an appointment - I feel so much better when I do :)

    Pearowl - I seem to be doing better on the calories and just need to be more consistent on the workouts. Thanks for asking!

    30 October- yesterday got away from me! Been busy trying to catch up on things I've been putting off :p

    Rower45- That's awesome that you're staying steady on your calories! Its not an easy thing to do! :)

    Today was an okay day...had a little too much chocolate but still am within calories. Got plenty of protein and some fresh veggies. Made it to the gym this evening for a 45 minute run and 20 minute round on the elliptical. Also trying to incorporate squats and ab stuff to even everything out. My wrist is broken right now :( so some of the things I want to do I have to put off. I'm missing some awesome classes at the Y because of it, so am trying to make it up by being extra active!
