20 pounds by Easter challenge

We saw "The Second Greatest Exotic Marigold Hotel" as my birthday celebration this afternoon. There are very few movies that look good to me, but this one was awesome. Jake had a small popcorn and I ate nothing.

It looked like it would be a good movie, I really enjoy the older British actors they have in it.
Btw, I know this is consider a no-no by some, but I bring healthy snacks into movies(hey, if they sold the healthy snacks, I wouldn't have to). You can find some really good white-cheddar popcorn for only 150 calories in 2-3 cups, just fill a little sandwich bag and keep it in your purse. Or grapes, pretzels, etc. But I'm the type that doesn't go to the movies very often so I have to have snacks for it.

I'm hoping to force myself to clean. And I'll be excited after it's done.
Cycling is great! My husband and I have been saying recently that we need to get bikes.

Had a good day, our Walmart opened (we're in a small town), went in and bought a few things, then I came home and walked around 3 miles, the weather was beautiful. I'm thinking about getting a fitbit for my birthday, Saturday. That way I will definitely know how far I walked.

Congratulations on your loss, Faye!!

Thanks Ray :-)

Weighed this morning and the scale was down. Hope to keep it that way for tomorrow's weigh in.
I would like to finish this challenge off with a loss.

I am going shopping with my sister and lunch. I will have a salad only and coffee. We are going to get something for the baby. My daughter is due April 6th ( our anniversary).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARBIE! Sorry its late.

Ray- I agree about the snacks, I wish they would have healthier ones.

We don't go to the movies like we used to so having some popcorn I will enjoy.

Happy Birthday, Barbie, and I hope you had a wonderful day! Connie, so glad you had a good report from the doctor - that's peace of mind and positive proof that you are doing all the right things.

Jordan, thanks for the zumba info and I will talk to the instructor! Sunny, nice to hear from you again!

Rachel, you made me LOL with the comment about being self-conscious over your too-big pants! Wait till you get to buy new, slim-size pants and feel gorgeous

It must have been the moon phase or something this past week, because yesterday was my weigh-in day at Curves, and I gained a pound. I said "Poop", and went on with my workout. It will come off again! I am in a challenge there that ends April 4 as well - you have to work out 36 times (today will be my 36th!), and be one of the top three weight losers, and you win $100 off either merchandise or your membership. I'm hoping to be one of those three!

Marie, just sending you hugs! Sparkle, I will try to send you some smoothie recipes I am using later today.

Off to work, but wishing you all a happy, wonderful Thursday!

Belinda

Checking in really quick before class! I feel bloated today but I think that's because I didn't drink much water yesterday and had pizza. I live next to more oklahoma and had to deal with the tornados last night. It seemed like the was going to stay nice so I was ordering pizza and going to take the pups for a nice walk. I hit the online order button. as I hit it, rain started pelting the window I go to look and hail behind to pound. then within a minute the sirens are wailing. I go to start gadget animals to take to the shelter which I had cleaned out earlier and by time I am on the other side of the house fiance (who is still at work) calls and says there us a tornado a few miles from the house. By time I got all the animals to the shelter (2 cats and 2 dogs) my sister was strapped in and I was climbing in abd the radio said the tornado was gone and the warning was cancelled. Woah. It was a rough littLe span of time. The pizza still showed up!

Thisweek over decided I'm not going to weigh myself again until Monday or Wednesday. I'm going to drink at least three liters of water (mostly fruit water) and do something active every day. Today I'm walking around campus all day. Saturday is the renaissance fair and i work and Sunday there is a bridal fair. Zumba Monday and Tuesday. Just need something for Friday.

Well that's all the time I have. Happy belated birthday to all the birthday peeps! Movies and fit bits are wonderful presents. Happy losing to everyone else!

I'm in, only just started on March 11 though

Starting Weight: 256lbs
Current Weight: 248lbs
Mini Goal: 236lbs
Ultimate Goal: 150lbs

Good morning Connie and Marie.

Congratulations Faye. My parents both started riding bikes. They also changed their diets and lost a lot of wright.

I'm glad you had a good time Barbie.

Englishmermaid your doing great. Congratulations! If you didn't already know we were doing another challenge after this one 20 lbs. by 4th of July.

Have a great day everyone!

Marie, I hope your day gets better.

I feel the same sometimes. u get down on myself when I haven't done as well as I could have our aren't getting the results I wanted. I just have to keep reminding nestle that the worse thing I can do us give up. Got to keep chugging and eventually (hopefully sooner rather than later) the results will come.
