Sorry I disappeared for a few days -- I was travelling back home! But it seems today I am on track for calories and water, and I'll be heading off to do the challenge in a bit! Will also weigh myself after dinner...0 -

Oh, I have a small suggestion... next to each of the challenges, can you also include a suggestion of how to log them in our exercise diary? It would be super helpful!0

Awesome job logging the 2 extra miles. Remember we are "beasts" -- beasts don't DIE...they just get sronger.0 -
Lol, that swimmer's press video made me giggle.
Already got 10 cups of water in for the day.
About to do the swimmers presses.
Then TO THE GYM! For the extra mile for the day + 1.5 towards my 10 mile pledge

Here's my recipe ... nothing special, but I saw on Hungry Girl a week or so ago how to make a bigger bowl of oatmeal for a small number of calories by just doubling the water. I LOVE oatmeal for breakfast, so here's my recipe:
1/2 c. dry Old-Fashioned Oatmeal
1/4 t. salt
2 c. water
Mix together the Oatmeal, salt and water. I cook my oatmeal in the microwave ... and this takes about 4 minutes. Watch the oatmeal closely, especially in the last 2 minutes as it will boil over and take over the microwave!!! Stir very frequently.
Top with 2 T. brown sugar, 2 T. raisins, and serve with 1 c. non-fat milk

This is a recipe from the Cooking Light cookbook. I tasted them at a party and didn't know they were low fat so I've started making them for my family and just not told them the difference...but that's our secret.
Choclate Chip Cookies
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup applesauce, drained well
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 Tbls vanilla
1 large egg
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375*. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in small bowl, stir well. In large mixing bowl add sugar, butter, and drained applesauce. Mix at medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla and egg. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed until well blended. Add chips.
Drop by level tablespoon fulls on to cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes
These cookies tend to stick so I line my baking sheets with parchment paper or you can spray lightly with a cooking spray.
Serving size is one cookie.

Is under calorie goal mean under original calorie goal, or under the amount of calories allowed for the day?
I am under the 1200, but earned over 500 exercise calories and really would like a glass of wine tonight (or 2? I'm on vacation!)
I have 8 waters in, working on #9 (I didn't even count the huge water bottle I sucked down while in the gym this morning!)
Swimmers rows in,
AND just walked a mile outdoors in the drizzle, felt good!
Bring on day 3!!!!
(and please tell me its okay to have a glass of wine!!!0 -
I was wondering if I could join this group...I see that it says Closed Group but I just thought I'd ask. Im looking to get motiviated and help people motivate by sharing stories/recipes/ideas and I'm not sure all my fb friends enjoy reading that I ran 3 miles today...and what not lol. My name is Megan and I'm 25years old and I'm striving to lose weight!! :-)0

Swimmer's press completed. May not make extra mile today, not feeling well. I will try though. Will make up tomorrow. Sandy0
-
swimmers press done and extra mile for today done. Did not get in the extra mile for the pledge as it was raining outside this afternoon.
Megan, this is a closed group but if you check over in the motivation section you will find lots of open groups and new challenges starting almost everyday. (not sure how we got in this section) I agree that the challenges and groups are the best. Look around and you will find some for just 20 somethings or those wanting to lose 30 pounds or those under 5'3" (or over 5'7"!) Good luck!0
