Ate clean today except for 15 M&M's and a tablespoon of low sugar jam. Nothing fried, processed or boxed today. Stayed under 1300 calories (gross - meaning pre exercise calories).
Had eggs, low carb, low sugar yogurt, kale, spinach, rice (it was white as I'm not crazy about brown any more), light tuna, boiled chicken and low sugar OJ, and a little yogurt butter.2 -
Checking in - Day 1 Monday!
Had a semi private tennis clinic so lot's of running and hitting so much I was sucking air a few times so all good!
Went grocery shopping and stocked up on fresh veggies and fruits. Ate clean for the most part but, my tennis partner had car trouble so go home later then planned and was starved so had a can of beans, not all that bad but had a little sauce on them.
Tracking water and I'm up to 9 cups and still going!
Only 18 more days it's a little shorter then 21 days; I'd like to stop on the 22nd and have everyone enjoy the Holiday without having to worry about a challenge.
Come on ladies we can do this!!!!!

Check in Day 1
Forgot we were starting today, but my menu wasn’t too bad. I wasn’t able to find the pepperchini potatoes chips on the menu to add- had a small bowl1 -
Check in Day 1
Nutrition: clean eating under calories
Exercise: JM Ripped in 30 level one
Welcome back ladies! Thank you Sheri for that info on clean eating- it’s my favorite style of eating because it’s what my body most loves! Great job ladies on our fiat day back - it’s only 21 days and we can do this!

Under calories. Ate clean except two packets of light mayo, my dozen M&M's and coffee creamer, regular not flavored. Dinner: Had a jersey Mike's sub but no oil, no cheese but very light mayo, hardly. I even brought by own mayo to make sure. It was a chicken philly without the philly part, loaded with chicken and veggies.1

Day 2 check in
Menu was clean, Amy’s organic bowls because I was too lazy to cook and didn’t have any dinner left overs.
Tomorrow will be super clean!
Felt great to get outside and fill my lungs with air ❤️1 -
Tuesday
Water consumption is good and calories burned is also good BUT I haven't exactly been eating clean enough. I will focus on that more tomorrow. Felt good playing tennis tonight and had a butt load of fun too. We even saw some rain drops.1 -
I was only able to get 33 minutes of walking in today (at 10 pm!), but I got it done, and I haven't been doing "clean eating," necessarily, but I have stuck to a T for 9 days now to a plan that I think (hope!) is working for me. Jeans are a little looser, so fingers crossed! I intend to keep at my plan for the whole challenge and beyond (especially if I am getting good results) and will be getting up early tomorrow for another walk as part of that plan. Glad to hear everyone is doing well!2

Check in Day 2 & 3
Exercise: Treadmill Walk incline
Nutrition- Tuesday (over calories) & Wednesday ( under calories)
Nice Job ladies! Thanks for the motivation. I was sick yesterday - not feeling well! Today felt better and walked on treadmill on incline- might go home later and do some PIYO :-) busy day for me but focused on water and calories!1 -
Check in – Day 2 & 3
Tuesday
Played a 3 hour tennis match in the morning and then 2 hrs of tennis practice at night.
Nutrition: Great, ate clean and came in under my calorie goal also, plenty of water.
Wednesday
Was a little tired today and didn't really want to workout but, pushed myself to complete P90X3 Upper Eccentric and felt good after so glad I did.
Nutrition: Ate clean but was hungry all day, might go over calorie goal but stay under with exercise calories. Did a good job with water today too
Note: I do have FF creamer which isn’t clean but, I will cut back.
Naomisds – way to go, pushing thru your workout at 10PM, and looser jeans, crazy good!
Love seeing everyone still logging and checking in, You ladies rock!!!

Hello ladies. I didn't do too well today. I have a lunch with Microsoft at Yard House. Has miso sea bass. I didn't think it had so much glaze but I didn't eat much jasmine rice, but I had to make sure the queso was safe for human consumption. Then Accounting had pizza and I had one slice. Ate good the rest of the day though. Tomorrow will be better because I'll bring my lunch but I have dinner plans at Carrabbas. I plan on going to the gym in the morning. However I was very good about sweets today. I wish I did better.
Good job ladies!2 -
Got in a walk in the morning and tennis in the evening. Stuck to my eating plan and going to get up for another walk tomorrow morning. Now, time for bed!2

Check Day 4 Thursday!
Nutrition: over calories
Exercise: None, still getting over my cold & letting the body rest.
I’m so happy to see all you ladies! Keeping everyone motivated yay! Don’t feel well but pushing forward. Tomorrow is my Birthday Day1 -
Check in – Day 4 Thursday
Played about 90 mins tennis singles, very cold and windy today but was moving.
Nutrition: ok, had my hair done and it took much longer then I planned & was starved so got some granola at Target, it was the only semi healthy snack I could find and had to guess on the amount too. Calories might be over but, it's all good.
Note: I never took my measurements after the 90 day challenge so I did today and was pleasantly surprise, I lost a total of 13 inch and 3 off my belly which is where I carry most of my weight. I was happy then made the mistake of looking up my pre P90X days and I’m exactly where I was when I started P90X back in 2012. Oh well, I’m going in the right direction!
Kbranch – you’re maintaining so I’d say a “treat” day every once in a while is not going to hurt so enjoy!
Naomisds – Super day, moving and grooving plus eating well, keep rocking it!
Jperdomo – Your body does need to rest especially when your down with a cold. Take it easy and “Happy Birthday!” Wishing you a year full of love, laughter and good health!
Keep on pushing ladies, you’re doing awesome!

Thursday
Had a pretty clean eating day and kept calories down so I'm happy about that. I should have drank a bit more water though. Got in some good tennis today even with the more challenging conditions.
A Big Happy Birthday to jperdomo. Enjoy your day, feel the burn, and drink lots of water (maybe mixed with a little whiskey to celebrate!)
Looks like people have gotten a strong start on this new challenge. It's preparing us to tackle the holiday. Keep it up.3 -
Hello pushing forward!
Wrote a post and hit done without posting. Oh man!
Getting a slow start on clean eating challenge. My goal is to cut the salt so fresh or frozen vegetables will be good for me. Hoping the puffy bloated fingers will disappear!
Adding more daily sit ups.
Let’s keep it up.2 -
Happy birthday jperdomo!
Got in a morning walk yesterday with another short, 10-minute one in the evening. Got another walk in this morning and would like to do more this evening, but work is pretty busy (on a short break at the moment) and "overtime is approved," so it looks like I'll be pretty busy with work for a while instead.
Doing great on sticking to my eating plan, but need to improve my water intake and sleep habits. I know from past experience that I have to sleep enough in order for weight to come off and to keep my appetite under control, and being well hydrated is always a good thing!
Everyone keep up the good work and together we'll make this challenge a success for all of us!1 -
It's getting hard right now to stay on track. I need to make sure potions are in check which they have been. Choices and temptations could be worked on a little. I think I have some sympathizers?2
-
I became obsessed with trying to figure out if my eating plan is working for me or not, but I don't want to weigh until the end of the challenge, so I decided to check my progress with a measuring tape, and guess what? I've actually lost several inches! I'm so excited! Here's hoping that trend continues!
Also, I got lucky and found the time after work to take another 18 minute walk, so I ended up walking for nearly an hour and 15 minutes total today.
Kim, just remember that cravings are only temporary and will likely pass if you wait them out! Just hang in there and you'll be fine!3 -
Way to go Naomi!2

Check in Day 5 Friday & Day 6 Saturday
It’s my birthday today so did absolutely nothing and it felt liberating3 -
Check in day 5 & 6
Friday:
Completed P90X3 Lower Eccentrics, really upped my weights so got a great burn.
Nutrition: Did well, went out to lunch & picked from the "light" menu, Grilled veggies & Cheese on a pita piadina, got home to find out it was over 600 calories! Always good to check "before" I eat. Tried to make up the difference with a protein shake for dinner.
Saturday:
I'm playing in a tennis tournament so I'll be sure to have plenty of burned calories for today.
jperdomo - Happy bday and enjoy it!!!
kbranch - it's been a tough few days for me too so instead of having the "bad" I just eat more of the "good", I might be a little over on calories but, I figure it's better then the alternative. Strong and steady, you'll (we'll) get there!!!
Nutrition: Good so far and I'm planning ahead for tonight. I'll bring a banana and some granola if I get hungry at the tournament. Plan on a shake once I get home.
Naomids - Excellent job on the inches, they will continue!
Keep pushing forward ladies, you rock!!!0 -
Just finished a 93 minute walk covering over 5 miles. Now it's time for some dinner! Of course, I'm going to stick to the menu!
Keep pushing forward everyone. We'll all be glad we did!1 -
Doing pretty good. Been away from sugar and eating decently. As long as bad food isn't around I'll be just fine. It's high gear for parties and pot lucks at work and tennis, so I'm eating before I go. I will have a slice of pizza tonight. The last two days I could have had decedent dessert or pizza or burgers or crab cakes, I had soup and salad, easy on the dressing. Played doubles today and plan on maybe jogging tomorrow as I took the day off from work. Have a wonderful Sunday and hope you're enjoying the holiday season so far.2

Sunday
I had more than I needed to eat today at the Polish Club Christmas dinner and I only got in a few dances so I probably didn't work off half the calories. My eating has not been very clean lately, I must admit. Tomorrow will be a busy day (but not fun, outdoor busy) so I will try to keep as clean as possible and lots of water. Looks like a lot of you are doing really well on this new challenge so keep it up!! I'm working on catching up.1 -
Stuck to my eating plan, got in 16,000+ steps, and spent the day cooking to get my food ready for the week so that I won't be tempted to grab the wrong thing if I get hungry and there's nothing appropriate around. Glad I put in the effort, but now I'm exhausted. Good night!2

Maintenance mode at the moment. Too much eggnog (no rum).
Way to go team. Good work during the holidays.1 -
Check in – Day 7 & 8
Sunday
Played 18 holes of gold and did some Christmas decorating, good day
Nutrition: Didn’t log but I was good! Lol
Monday
Rest day but went grocery shopping at two different stores, come home, cleaned and finished up some decorating so still moving and grooving.
Nutrition: Good!
Found a book on clean eating called “The Eat-Clean Diet- Recharged” and I love it, she breaks things down so it’s simply! I haven't finished the book so right now I’m focusing on having a protein and a complex carb during each meal, also staying a way from white flour and added sugar.
Happy note: the scale was very kind, the last time I saw that number was Jan 2014!
Super job ladies planing ahead and sticking to your program, keep kicking butt!!!!

Exercise: Pilates & Piyo Sweat Day 7&8
Nutrition: over/under calories
Hello Ladies: Really busy this week with final Christmas shopping and possibly a change in jobs - a little stressed to say the least - but moving forward and pushing forward. Happy i pushed play and got to my class2 -
Monday
Disappointed to say that I had a terrible day as far as calories I ate (way too many and not really clean) compared to calories I burned (zilch). BUT I am still motivated seeing how well that intotennis, naomisds, kbranch, jperdomo, (and anyone I missed that is staying on this challenge) are doing. So keep it up you all and thanks for all your positive posts because they will help me get back on track.2
