    Good Morning, just a little hello and how's everyone before the day gets rolling. This month should be an interesting challenge for me, we have 3 Leos in the family so its Birthday month. I am hoping to be well into the 150's come my birthday on the 17th. On the other hand I would like a treat on my bday lol. How do you deal with birthdays and holidays? Would love some feedback.

    I have been calling this my new way of eating/lifestyle change instead of a diet. I eat well 98% of the time and allow myself a teeny bit of something IF I realllly want it. It seems to help dash the cravings and I become more motivated to go another month or two before another treat. I know for myself if I call it a diet and I "fall off" I become very dissapointed in myself and am all gloom and doom. So viewing it as I eat well the majority of the time has helped me a lot.

    Hugs,
    Stacy

    It's your Birthday, enjoy it!!! ( and Happy Birthday!!!). I just had my BDay the beginning of July, we went to Japanese Steakhouse. I didn't miss out on any of it. I just ate smaller portions and boxed up the rest for lunch the next day.
    My daughters Bday party is next week end, so I will be making diet soda cupcakes for myself and anyone else who doesn't want the extra carbs and sugar. That way i can have cake with her and not feel guilty!

    I got in my sleep last night! :)
    I just finished my cardio and strength for the challenge!

    I am in Maryland so ... EST as well. My kids are still home for summer break and don't even go back till the 29th! I try to check in once I get at least one cup of coffee into the bloodstream! LOL!

    I lost weight according to the scale Monday, but not today. Rawr! >.< I'm hoping to see the same weight tomorrow I saw Monday! LOL! I really hate the fluctuation that goes on with the scale. But at the same time I like to make sure I'm on track too. I have been lacking in the H2O department for a few days too. :-/

    I guess I'm just up too early, 5:45am. That's when I do my a.m. workout, it's one of the few times I have all to myself. As far as the scale goes I check it every morning (obsessive I know), I won't record a loss unless I see the lower number on the scale three mornings in a row, that way I sure it's not just a fluctuation. Drinking enough water is a MAJOR factor in my weight loss too. If I don't drink enough I'll know it the next day or so, cause there won't be any loss at all. Funny how that works.

    I am eastern time as well but I don't usually check in until the evening. Here's my totals for this week:

    Cardio completed Thur, Fri, Sun, Mon, Tues (including the jumping jacks) **4PTS**
    Strength completed - 25 pushups Fri, Sun, Mon, Tues(more some days since started 30 day shred) **4PTS**
    Food Challenge ~ Recipe posted! **1PT**
    Emotional Challenge ~ posted **1PT**
    Sleep challenge ~ 5 days completed (it's summer and the kids are finally sleeping late lol). We only count the challenged 4 days right? So i'm just counting 4 points for all since it was a 4 day per week challenge (lemme know if thats to change) **4PTS**

    If I counted right, 14pts altogether. Will weigh in tomorrow :o

    Cardio Completed - including jumping jacks = 3 PTS
    Strength completed = 3 PTS
    Food Challenge: Recipe = 1 PT
    Emotional Challenge = 1 PT
    Sleep Challenge = 4 PTS

    Hope that helps! It's been a bit of a rough week with not watching my eating at all and not getting in as much exercise as I'd like to. I'm going to make next week a better one. I feel like I've been PMSing for a week! But no TOM yet! Just really moody/*****y and eating like crazy!

    2. Arrange half of mushroom mixture over half of each tortilla. Top each tortilla with 1/2 cup chicken, 1/2 cup arugula, and 1/4 cup cheese; fold tortillas in half.
