    Ok, I'm headed to bed.... but at the end of day #1, I still need the following:

    100 jumping jacks today (yes or no?)
    carriebear

    Also, if you have not yet told me what your current weight is, please do so no later than tomorrow!!!!!
    I need current weight from the following:
    carriebear

    Please also email your "before" pictures to me at teresa.grace@live.com . Those that I have already received, I have messaged you back to let you know that I got them..... please don't forget to send them this week!!

    Good night all!!!

    Oops.... I did not get my jacks in after running 5.5 miles last night and having dinner. Sucessfully, I was under my calories for the day and drank my water! My starting weight is 173.4

    Tonight I am going to go swimming and run a mile for the challenge (even though it is an off day). I need to start getting my water in for the day... darn meeting first thing stopped me from filling my water bottle as soon as I got to work. :ohwell:

    Grace I will send you the pic via email tonight after I take one :blushing: lol

    Hope this finds everyone pumped to be in this challenge! It is what I needed to kick my weight loss and workouts into high gear!

    Started C25k today (iPhone app) and charted 2.37 miles!! So check off 1 mile (extra) for me today! Loved it!
    Drank 9 glasses of H2O
    Under calorie goal both yesterday and today!

    Did 50 ab crunches to work on my belly blob!! A little house work, Zumba, and gardening to complete my day!!

    Loved being a housewife for a change!!

    Joyful in the Journey!

    Decided to take the long, way-out-of-the-way, scenic route home today on my bike. Instead of my normal 7.2 mile ride, I covered 19.9 miles!!! I thought about asking if the extra 12.7 miles on my bike could count as my extra mile. But instead, when I got home, I just grabbed my music and hit the road for a 1.15 mile run! That mile of running was TOUGH after almost 20 miles on my bike, but I did it!! WATCH OUT AUGUST!!!

    Extra mile - DONE
    Diary complete and under goal.
    14 glasses of water.
