    TUESDAY CHALLENGE:

    10 cups of water - Done with some extra! Whoo hoo

    Under Calories - I did not get under calories, however I do sit on a ball at work all day that I dont count and I lifted for 45 minutes and no calories were take off for that either so I am betting if those were counted that I would be under but still not to these standards

    45 minutes exercise - Did an hour and 15 and it felt great!

    WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE:

    8 Cups Water - Done with a lot of extra

    Under Calories-Was way over, however I had sushi and not the super fattening kind for dinner and it was delightful

    Eat 4 servings of fruit and/or vegetables- I think that I got 2 maybe, this is one of the hardest things for me to do, and not because I dont like them. I love them. Just didnt plan well this week as far as meals, headed to the farmers market on Saturday to stalk up for next week!

    FRIDAY CHALLENGE:
    Share your favorite low-cal recipes

    African Beef Curry
    1 lb beef stew meat, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
    1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
    1 small onion, chopped
    1 small sweet red pepper, chopped
    1 small green pepper, chopped
    1 to 2 tablespoons curry powder
    1/2 tsp salt

    Serve over hot cooked rice
    Optional toppings: raisins, chopped salted peanuts, and flaked coconuts

    In a large saucepan, combine the first 7 ingriedents. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat;cover and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours or until meat is tender.

    Serve with rice. Garnish with raisins, peanuts and coconut if desired
    Yeild 4 servings (1 cup) 205 calories without rice or toppings

    I personally love this without any toppings, I serve it over a serving of brown rice. So for a heaping bowl of food it is only 355 calories! This recipe is from the "Taste of Home: Comfort Food Diet" magazine which is an awesome book!

    Weighing in at 170.3 this would bring me down 4 pounds since my origional weigh in, I think i was bloated last week because it was my time of the month so not crediting my self with losing 4 pounds, maybe 1 pound but not 4.
