    Hi everyone!

    How did you do today? I managed to get in a 20 minute DVD Bob Harper's Power Walk in tonight!! Wooohooo!!!

    Eating was okay...still spending a lot of time in front of the computer looking for a place to live in Okla!

    thinking of you all today and sending good vibes!

    Tammy - I have some friends that live near OKC, they might be able to help you out?

    I usually set monthly goals, but I can try to break them down into weekly:
    1. 250 fitness minutes
    2. strength train 2-3x week
    3. track all food, even on bad days
    5. Bedtime of 10-10:30pm at the latest! (on work nights...I'm BAD about this!)
    6. Get up early enough to make breakfast, or make ahead.
    7. train for a 5 minute burpee challenge
    8. goal of 1.5 lb loss

    Yesterday (Thurs) I got in 90 min of touch rugby (as opposed to tackle lol), plus I managed to walk my dog 5-10 min in the dark last night! I figured that's still better than nothing, right? He got a little pudgy and needs the exercise! :laugh:

    Sigh...I need more hrs in my day so I can get to bed sooner. This week it's been closer to 11, and even that extra 1/2 hr makes a difference!

    SW 226.50
    GW 219

    My goals: Log in every day. Stay under my calories (this has been challenging lately). Up my exercise to 3000 calories burned a week.

    My first day, didn't go so well. First of all, I worked a ten hour day, then left work and drove six hours to MD. No time for exercise. Plus, I got dinner out. Not alot of options. I chose to have fries even though I usually pass them up. But there wasn't any other good choices.

    Oh, well. Doing a bit better today. But visiting family. Having a hard time getting in exercise again.

    You are so hard on yourself Gma! There will be days when life takes us out of our routines eh? When that happens we do the best we can and then get back into routines when we can...a way of life so to speak.

    You are doing awesome!!!! One day at a time...okay?

    Hi,
    I'm just getting back from being out of town. My goal is to lose at least five pounds. My goal this week is to be under my daily calories and exercise at least 20 minutes every day.

    I weigh-in on Fridays, so here's my update from last week.

    Goals were:
    1. 250 fitness minutes
    Hit 320...just need to keep it up the rest of the month!

    2. strength train 2-3x week
    Thanks to Tammy for giving us a mini-challenge last Friday, I got my 2nd in for the week!

    3. track all food, even on bad days
    I did except on Saturday night. I know, no excuses, but I was at a party and honestly don't know how to count some of it!

    5. Bedtime of 10-10:30pm at the latest! (on work nights...I'm BAD about this!)
    Still need to work on this.

    6. Get up early enough to make breakfast, or make ahead.
    See above...if I went to bed sooner...

    7. train for a 5 minute burpee challenge
    only once...need to work on this too!

    8. goal of 1.5 lb loss
    Dropped 3lb, but I'm sure mostly water weight I gained last weekend.

    This week's goals, pretty much the same!
    1. 250 fitness minutes
    2. strength train 2-3x week
    3. track all food, even on bad days
    5. Bedtime of 10-10:30pm at the latest! (on work nights...I'm BAD about this!)
    6. Get up early enough to make breakfast, or make ahead.
    7. train for a 5 minute burpee challenge

    I've added to my daily goals for this week. In addition to keeping under daily calories, exercising at least 20 minutes every day, I want to drink at least 7 glasses of water each day. Today, I did it-six more days to go!

    I'm on a roll: two days in a row of achieving my daily goals! How is everyone else doing?

    Since I weigh-in on Fridays, here's my weekly update:
    1. 250 fitness minutes
    140...I haven't done anything the past 2 days. But 460 for the month, so I'm still on track to hit 1000 for the month!

    2. strength train 2-3x week
    Got in 1 so far this week...plan on my 2nd today.

    3. track all food, even on bad days
    Didn't track everything from Wednesday, since we went to the fair. I tracked most of it, but not the few bites here and there trying other people's food.

    5. Bedtime of 10-10:30pm at the latest! (on work nights...I'm BAD about this!)
    FAIL. REALLY need to work on this!

    6. Get up early enough to make breakfast, or make ahead.
    I do better when I make it ahead, but I don't like re-heated eggs as much as fresh-cooked, lol

    7. train for a 5 minute burpee challenge
    once this week :(

    8. goal of 1.5 lb loss
    Down 2 lb!! :)

    Its Sunday, weigh-in day. And finally I've gotten through the four week wall. Thanks Tammy for this challenge.

    I weigh 223 today. That's 3.5 less than last week at this time. And only four to go to my mini-goal for this challenge.

    Let's rock it!

    Its Sunday, weigh-in Day. I weight 219. Which means I met my goal. Since we have two weeks to go, I'm gonna change my goal to lose another five pounds in two weeks. That would put me at 214 by 9/11.

    I'm still not up to 3000 calories burned a week. So I'm gonna try harder this week. Hope everyone has a victorious week.:flowerforyou:

    :drinker: Sunday, August 26th. I weight at my daughters house today because I was there waiting out the hurricane. Her scale says I weigh 216.4. I like this very much. :happy:

    However, I ate horrible the last two days. The storm, convenience foods, no electricity, no routine, all added up to two really bad days. But its not gonna stop me from moving forward. Onderland is in sight, and I'm gonna get there by Halloween.
