Posting late but Day 1 ( yesterday 12/5/15)
Drank only water
Did not workout
Ate 1466 calories. Not less than 1400 but no junk food was included. So that's a plus.
Must do better. I really need to find and motivation the time to work out.0 -

Not bad. Within 100 cals is still GREEN. Mercy green, but still green
Personally I try to get up 30min early and do a workout video on YouTube to make sure I get my steps in for the day. I haven't made it a habit, but that is the goal during the next 21 days.0 -
I went a over the 1200 calories and that is due to junk food. I need carry more fruits and veggies with me. Today I brought banana, apple, orange, soy beans to work so that will be my snack instead of junk food.0

That's a good idea. 1200 cals doesn't sound like a lot, but it can be depending on your food choices. I try to log BEFORE I eat to make sure it "fits" Today is a new day!

I also have found that logging before I eat is the key!lasttimelooser wrote: »I went a over the 1200 calories and that is due to junk food. I need carry more fruits and veggies with me. Today I brought banana, apple, orange, soy beans to work so that will be my snack instead of junk food.

I'm heading home from work & will be eating tilapia & veggies for dinner. I drink Shakeology daily for breakfast & lunch was chili & crackers. I did some running with a coworker & learned some things. Like, I don't have to run at a fast speed to be a runner. I felt great afterwards & am looking forward to an upcoming 5k (although not timed) at the end of the month.0

Great job Ty.0

Day 2:
Food- in the green with some to spare

Plan for tomorrow: short run in the afternoon, 40oz of water, stay away from sweets, logs food and water0 -
Good evening, friends! I hit my water goal today, but I did not get a workout in. I had a lot of catching up to do at work. I still managed to hit my step goal (11k), so I must have been kicking butt at work! I ate within my calorie range. However, I went way over on sodium. This is a huge problem for me. I have to get it under control, because all this bloating & water weight is tiresome. Oh, and I think the strength training regimen is going to kick in next week. I don't want to start something new this week. I have a half marathon on Sunday.
Have a great night!0 -
Great job guys!
I'm struggling a little bit this first week, but everything will be second nature by the end of this challenge.0 -

Completed the following:
Goal #1: Drink only water, with the exception of 1 cup of coffee per day if wanted

Did not complete:
Goal #3: Exercise at least 15 times in the 21 days - still on track to complete
Goal #4: Increase my steps - I moved more but don't know how much more without a tracker... I am just not good at keeping my phone with me at all times
Goal: Lose 10 pounds- Not complete and the scale seems to be stuck but I believe I can do it!

Everyone seems to have done a great job with day 1. On to completing the tasks for day two. You still have a few more hours to complete or fail if you are on EST. Let's all plan to complete!0

Hey Sherm98, have you thought about getting a pedometer? They are pretty cheap (I've seen them for $5 at Target/Walmart), and you can just attach them to your sneakers or pants for easy tracking. They aren't perfect, but it may help a bit!0

Day 3:
Green: yes (2 of 21)
Goals: 64oz of water
Move: over 7,000 steps and one workout logged0 -
You all are doing great! I had a rough day. I overslept which means I missed my AM workout and I didn't pack lunch or snacks cuz I was too lazy to meal prep last night. I managed to create a meal moderate in calories at Wendy's. After work, hubby took my son to the barbershop so I went straight home to get my zumba on! Got my steps in and hopefully enough cals burned to fit this chocolate biscotti in LOL By the way, my diary is open in case anyone is ever curious.
Commitment is the key, but accountability lets you in. Don't be stuck outside. (That was adapted from a different quote. What y'all think?)
Okay goodnight y'all. I look forward to reading your updates tomorrow.0 -
So far so good! I have been having an almond milk/mixed fruit/amazing grass (wheat grass powder) smoothie every morning, a lean cuisine for lunch and dinner (not the best food I know, but I will eat too much if I eat what I am preparing for my kids), and an orange or yogurt for snack. I have made my food goal every day this week (1200 calories) and have already lost a few pounds! I have been stretching and doing squats in the morning but have been slacking on exercise these last few days. I also need to get my water intake up!0

Yesterday I not only fell off the wagon, but then I ate everything I could find (including the wagon)! sigh
But today is a new day and I feel crummy-a good reminder that my body does not like it when I do this to myself!

Awww, Cheryl! Go take a peek at my diary. I space my meals out and include little treats in there to keep from binging. My zero cal herbal teas are fruit flavored so I can enjoy a little sweetness with no added sugars. And I MUST have my chocolate biscotti every night even if I have to do a quick workout.
If you look right now, my cals are red. After my workout it will be green. I most certainly plan to have that curry chicken I logged but haven't eaten yet. I have to put the work in to "earn" it. See how that works?
On top of all that, drinking my 64oz of water keeps me feeling full. Lastly, I go to bed by 10pm. This way I get my eight hours of sleep, I can get up early enough for an AM workout, and I avoid late night snacking which I tend to do.
Tomorrow is a new day!0 -
day 3 May 14
I ate way under my calories yesterday ( which I know is not good but it definitely won't become a habit because I like eating lol) So under 1400 which means I was in the green
I only drank water
Did not work out
So 2 out of 3.
I really am determined to do better on the workouts. I'm usually tired in the evening and ignore my "workout alarm" in the mornings. But I resolve to do better.

Congrats to everyone so far! @downongreenacres Congrats on staying accountable! That's one of my biggest faux pas. If I fall off the wagon and eat the whole wagon I never stay accountable. So I admire you for doing that 0

ya'll are funny! I will have to use "ate the wagon" in the future lol0
