    Wooo Hoooo Welcome back Seesaa:flowerforyou:

    You were in Canada?? WOW!! You on vacation???? My sister's boyfriend is from Canada.


    The heat won't help and sodium gain either. :-( YOU CAN DO IT!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!

    Have a great week!!


    I am in Langley near Vancouver.
    I am visiting my fiance for a couple months so yeah vacation.

    I wish the heat was part of it, but it hasn't gotten over 60 here yet lol nope just poor food choices...yummy...but poor and then the travel i'd gather. i'm upping my water again cause before this i was sick for 2 weeks so it's kinda been a roller coaster ride.

    Report Day 1:
    1. Go to bed by 10pm every night. X didn't get home from Dad's til 11:30!
    2. Go to gym 3 days this week. X not planned for today
    3. Try out a different home workout program each day. I have lots of them! yay!! sort of. did 25 minutes of kickboarding laps in the pool. my stomach is killing me!!!
    4. Walk 1/4 mile further each day from the day before. (this is not "exercise walking" I wear a pedometer all day to judge how much moving I'm actually doing.) today was setting baseline for the rest of the week. 2.5 miles

    I am in again. Same as last week since I did not make my goal. I have the worst cold ever and I just slept most of the weekend in a dayquil/nyquil daze =( Still very stuffy but maybe I can sweat the rest of this out of me ;) So trying for 450min of exercise again. Good luck everyone!

    did one of my morning workouts today... only have to do one more this week. I started the challenge today as sunday is my day off. :)

    water is off to a good start and I'm on a low day calorie wise today. :)

    Arrgghh!!! Ok, this is as bad as "the dog ate my homework"!!! But it's true....I flushed my pedometer! I can't believe it just went right down!!! I did check it just a few minutes before that and I'm on my way to go get a new one, but that means I'm out a few hundred steps at least!! Oh well, I already hit yesterdays number so I'll still be ok for my challenge...seriously...flushed my pedometer??? Unreal!!!!

    Love this philosophy. I am easily dissuaded by long term high results goals. Today I'm doing the 200 crunches one day challenge; along with this weeks fitness plan. today is also upper body.

    It wasn't bad $20. but it was a really cool one! I've only had it a little over a week!!! Oh well. Live and learn, take pedometer OFF waistband BEFORE peeing!!!!

    missdeehere Posts: 420 Member
    Oma, so sorry! Hard to find one you like too!! Mine clips to waistband then it has a string with another clipper. I broke that so I use a big safety pin, to double secure it. I lost too many in the past!

    I have an Omron Pocket Pedometer
    Model HJ-720ITC



    Guess there is no use sayig, I hope you find it so I will say, so sorry for your loss and hope you get another one. You earned a weeks worth of steps!!

    I'm in and new to this. I love the idea of the short term goal, my long term goal is soooo overwhelming that it stops me from starting anything.

    My weeks start on Mon. so today is my start and here it is 5:25 pm.

    Goal for the week is 20 min on glider daily.

    Increase water intake.

    Ok, so day one and I'm doing pretty good.

    1. Drank 4 glasses of water today. - That's up from 0-1 a day.

    2. Zumba Wii was done first thing this morning.

    3. I have logged everything I have put in my mouth today.


    If I keep this up....I'll be back on track and to where I want to be in no time.

    3. Try out a different home workout program each day.Pulled out my old Tae Bo. Didn't finish it but I got about half way through!
    4. Walk 1/4 mile further each day from the day before. (this is not "exercise walking" I wear a pedometer all day to judge how much moving I'm actually doing.) today was setting baseline for the rest of the week. 2.27 miles plus whatever I missed by flushing my pedometer :grumble:

    My goal for this week is to log food and exercise every day this week! Seems small but really big for me. I usually fall off the wagon on the weekends. I put the app on my phone so I should be able to meet this goal!

    Hello all!!

    I had a great day... kind of work was rough. Other then that great day. LOL! I got up and did my workout :bigsmile: YAY! Got all my water in today. Now I'm cuddling with my puppy :happy:

    On a side note... I've been stuck at 45 pounds F-O-R-E-V-E-R. I'm really getting close to my next mini goal (getting under 170) and so close to hitting the half way mark. I really want to hit these, I really need to buckle down.

    Hope you all are having a good Monday. :heart: you guys keep up ALL the heard work. We can do this.
