    hey all

    my food goal will be to continue to reduce my carbs(its been a slow process with both weight loss and reducing the carb intake)..

    asides from adding a pilates/yoga class, i will burn a total of 3500 calories a week (exercise calories)...for the most part i am close but dont get to 3500 at the of week....so i need to burn at least 500 calories a day....good luck all

    My food goal is to eat enough calories this week I have been very low and not feeling great because of it. My exercise goal was/is to lift weights and do crunches. I got in about 150 crunches today so hopeful I keep it up all weekend even though I'm working. Hope everyone has beautiful weather like I do today!

    Rested another day on the calf... no running or anything. It is feeling substantially better than it was, and for that, I am thankful. For a while there, I thought I was going to have to take ANOTHER trip to the doctor. My doctor is great and all, but I have seen him more in the past few months since I have started working out than EVER. Tomorrow is another Shred-only day and then I am planning to run 1-2 miles on Saturday, or 3 miles if I feel like I can push that far.

    Hi Everyone! So glad we set those goals yesterday! Today I had work 8-4:40, a lunch meeting (so I couldn't take my 30 minute powerwalk) then a meeting 6:30-9. I had made a goal to get in 60 minutes of exercise - so the minute I got home I got changed & my 5 year old biked while I walked for an hour. Dinner was a bit boring (protein bar before meeting, bowl of cereal after) - but I manged to get in a workout & stay under my calorie goal.

    Vanessa - hope your goals help to turn your week around!

    Robin - don't know how I missed your goal yesterday, but I love it! Very ambitious!

    Kelly - how is the calorie intake going? I struggle with that some days and nuts help me - but that won't work for you with allergies! Eek! I am a big fan of the avocado - I bought this tube of fresh cilantro at the fresh herb section of the grocery - it keeps much longer. I mix some cilantro, red onion, lime juice, salt & pepper with the avocado - and YUM! I like to eat with baked tostitos or reduced fat wheat thins. Otherwise, maybe working a little olive oil into your cooking... some good grains like brown rice or quinoa. I've also made low fat high fiber muffins with carrots, zucchini, apples & flax seed mixed in.

    Melissa - glad to hear your calf is doing better!

    Pam - my allergies have been icky lately. Ran into another Mom at my meeting tonight who had a summer cold - hope you are quickly on the mend!!

    Ok, heading off to bed so I can get in my sleep hours!

    6 points today - 26.5 so far for the week.

    Hugs,

    Amy :0)

    Happy Friday everyone!!!! was a pretty good week for me, although it's not over yet. I set a goal for myself this week which was to walk on treadmill at 4.7 used to do 5.2 (in shape days) at a 5 incline. Did pretty well for a few minutes but had to put incline down to 2. I am making great progress. You all motivate me so much. Thank you all!

    I'm not doing so great on sleep points though. I have all intentions of getting my 7 to 8 hours sleep but somehow don't quite make it. Going to try extra hard in the coming week.

    Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. PS got to remember to weigh in!!!!!!

    Hello Team! Hope everyone is doing well. I've increased my calorie intake from 1,200 to 1,600. I re-entered my information on MFP, by entering my current weight, my activity level, etc. and it only increased my calories by 180; however, I don't think that's sufficient, so I decided to increase it by 400. Let's hope this change will push my numbers down!

    Hey everyone! I have had a hard week this week. I haven't worked out like I was. I've missed 2 days this week but I did just go35 days and not miss a workout until this past Tuesday. I didn't do the mini challenges set for this week but I'm coming out of my fog (PMS) so next week WILL be better. My points so far this week are Mon. 7, Tue. 3, Wed. 2, Thur. 2, and Fri. 6. Everyone is doing so great, something for me to work to.
