DAY 3:

Hello every and Happy Hump Day! Happy to say that I have managed to lose 3.4 lbs since Monday! Been trying hard with these goals. Although it hasn't been perfect, the effort I am doing is working. Let's hope I can get to last weeks weight by Saturday. In yo face Easter!



@lpeltenburg - I hear ya on them calling your name. I had to hide ours because my eyes just kept going back to them. Out of sight out of mind...out of my mouth!!!

@lalajka - thank you. Been bloated here too. All this bad eating has done some bad things to me! Already feeling better though.

@fitphoenix - thank you for taking the time to write. I totally agree with you and this has been my way of thinking throughout my journey. I guess having had so much chocolate already I was trying to go cold turkey on it but i wasn't successful with that. All in moderation is the best approach. Thank you for reminding me.

@MonicaA2013 - let me know how 30 day shred works out for you. I hear lots of good things about it.

@Skipper111 - hope bunny is ok.

I did 30 day shred or as Jackie called it dread lol I made 17 days saw results but my body was in such pain I stopped and switched over to yoga. I suffer from fibromyalgia and it just put my body in a tizzy the pain just never stopped.

Grandma who is 93 broke her femur yesterday will be having surgery today. Kind of like OMG she is going to be horrible to deal with. All she keeps saying is she won't go in assisted living.

Kept to my goals yesterday which was tough as the added stress I was tempted to have a diet coke and do some retail therapy . I held on but just barely hopefully today goes better.

@2020pinktogo Sorry to hear about your grandmother's injury. Hope the surgery goes well and recovery is smooth! Changing living arrangements is always rough, but there are lovely options out there!

@mari_moulin I've definitely done cold cut offs after holidays before, so I totally get where you're coming from with that too. Sometimes, it's the best way to stop a bad habit in the short term. I think it was Christmas 2015 where I had to just stop with anything treat-like in January because I wasn't handling it in a moderate way at all. Easter went much better for me this year, and I'm actually eating appropriate-portioned leftovers for dinner this week. So far, so good.

I love Jillian Michaels! I own probably about a dozen of her DVDs and find they keep me motivated and working hard. Since I'm part of another challenge that has weekly exercise challenges and am training for a 5K obstacle course, I decided not to make a 30-day commitment to any one DVD, but 2-3 times per week I do a Jillian workout. Right now, I'm alternating between Ripped in 30 level 1, Beginner Shred level 1, and No More Trouble Zones. I like the variety.

I've been having some serious problems this week. I'm stress eating and constipation. I've got to get back on track. I'm going focus more on my eating today. No more excuses!

Do we enter our weight every day in this 100 day challenge? This is my first time in this one.

@michelleywardell be sure to get enough water and fiber every day that will help with the regularity problems.

@mari_moulin I have done 30 day shred back when i first started this journey and decided it was time to return. I enjoyed it after i got used to the moves lol. I have also done a lot of her other videos, they are on YouTube so i didn't have to buy the DVD's

I have been CANDY gobbling. My MIL likes to put CANDY all over the house and she always picks my FAVORITE ONES !!! UUUGGGHHH !!! AND its TOM week for me so less control than normal too. TODAY is a new day though and I will try harder to keep myself in control.

Water, calories and exercise are my priority for the day.

Good luck to you all on your daily goals.

I really need to concentrate on exercise. My goal for the next 5 days (Wed - Sun) is to get on the elliptical and/or recumbent bike for 20 minutes each day. It will be a start for setting up a routine. Once I find my pedometer I'll start counting steps again.

Yesterday went to my personal training class. Was not in the mood at all but it ended up being great. I feel it today though.
Goal for today:
1. Ride my bike to work.
2. Stay within my calories
3. Sign up for the October ride

I used to do 30 day shred. Lasted over 3 months. Now I live in a tiny space so I have my gym and bike as exercise.

Problem is, I get hungry when I workout hard. Defeats the purpose????

@kimmysue100 welcome! Glad you're giving this a shot, every little bit of motivation and support helps tremendously!
