    I appreciate the daily check ins. It helps keep me accountable. My goal is drinking 50 oz of water today and getting my workout in today.

    Goal for the day, stick to my walking plan. I accomplished 4miles at a 4mph pace yesterday. I'm trying to do the same today. Unfortunately made plans to eat out at an eatery with a friend for the kids. Its a "wing nite" at the restaurant so those exercise calories definitely will be eaten back. I'm definitely trying not to overindulge....may the force be with me.

    Struggling. Talks of layoffs and resignations at work, so I'm trying to stay focused without worrying. Ate well yesterday, but had a big greasy lunch today so I will work extra this week to make up. Need to start planning and packing lunch for work!

    Day 2

    No exercise yesterday and slightly over on calories. Today have a Yoga class in the evening and will be within my calories. I need to start adding exercise in on those days I don't have Yoga or Pilates. Time to dust off the treadmill.

    Got up at 5:15, killed it exercising today! Treadmill, a little heavy lifting and then a 15 minute stretch routine I found on fitnessblender. I don't know, after 6 weeks of working out I finally feel like I may have a good handle on this weight loss thing. I'm still learning but I noticed I'm feeling really good today.

    @jen7eleven I bring lunch in every day, I usually make it on Sundays...tho I tend to eat the same thing for the whole week depending on what I've made on Sunday. It keeps me accountable on how much I'm actually eating...

    Feel good today. Went to the gym for 20 min on treadmill and some arm machines. Think I'll go tomorrow too, maybe for a little elliptical work.

    I re-started the Zombies 5k (it's Couch 2 5k with Zombies), I doubt I'll be doing a lot of running, but I'll do what I can and walk the rest! 1.3 miles, and also fit in with another Challenge goal.

    I hit it hard on the treadmill this morning! 4 miles at about 3 mph. Planning to do some yoga this afternoon and maybe a little disc golf practice after the hubs gets home.

    So far so good today! Breakfast and lunch done... Gym done too. Off out to shop before stir fry dinner and then heading to cinema (with my own healthy small popcorn bag)

    I do the same. Make my own popcorn and sneak it in with a bottle of water. Not being cheap, but just don't want the extra calories from movie popcorn and soda.

    That is great that you have a handle on it. Good for you!

    Got over half my water in so far but went out to lunch today and feel horrible now. I feel sick to my stomach and can't even stomach the thought of eating dinner.

    Day 1 was OK. Ate some chocolate and had too much coffee, but managed to stay under calories.
    Day 2 is much better. No walking this morning (except around the grocery store. lol).

    Sounds fun! Are the zombies chasing you? that would make one walk/run faster! LOL

    It's much better and I don't feel like I'm missing out! Great day sticking to calories and exercise and being in a group is a great idea! Instead of betting on a bet site, I'm also considering betting with my husband! I would hate to give him the money!!!

    I've heard the zombies couch to 5k is great! You'll be run-walking in no time!

    I'm glad I found this challenge. I started my fitness journey once again yesterday so the timing is perfect :-) Feel free to add me if you want!

    I haven't done the 5K training, but I use the original Zombies, Run! app, and there is an option to turn on zombie chases if you want to do sprint interval chases. It's something that is separate from the story - so the characters might tell you to "Run!," but you don't actually need to pick up the pace until the computerized voice warns you of immanent zombies. I haven't been caught yet, but it definitely makes me sweat more than one of my regular, non-interval runs!
