Loose 10lbs in august red team support-

I lost one pound, which I was worried because I gained 2 and thought for sure I wouldn't lose, but low and behold I did. Wasn't the 2 I was hoping for, but it is one more towards my goal. Keep going everyone, you are all doing great!!

Lets Go Spartas!!!! Its been a good week for me. Looking for many more to come!!!

I haven't seen one yet.

I keep getting kicked off this site!

I was saying....I failed to weigh myself in my rush to leave this morning. I had to be at the hospital for some tests to prep for my surgery on Tuesday. I will weigh in the am and send to captain. Had a pretty sressful week and I have not been able to go to Y and swim at all. I did eat accordingly and drink massive water as I usualy do. aprox 1/2 gallon a day.

will check in with weight for this week in am, sleep well all

Spartans!!!!!!!!!!!!! How are we doing so far in our third week? I've done decently on previous weeks mini-challanges but this one might break me lol

Wowsers! Staying under on my sodium is gonna be rough. I rely heavily on Lean Cuisine, Smart Ones, etc for my lunches during the week. I did just stock up on chicken, though. Bet I can scare up more than a few meal ideas with that

Speaking of which... Does anyone have any good, quick, 5 or less ingredient recipes they could share? I'm going to start doing a lot more cooking than I have in the past and need some fresh ideas! The only thing I can't do is seafood due to allergies. I'd love anything else you all can throw at me!

Thanks!

Well, I have managed, just barely, to stay under sodium for two days so far. I'm doing more praying than promising that I can make it through the week.

I have a chicken salad recipe that's really quick and easy (also not too bad on sodium too): shredded cooked chicken breast (boiled or pan seared with Mrs. Dash), sliced grapes (I prefer red seedless in the salad), chopped onion, and just enough mayonnaise to keep it all moist. I eat it with bread or make a lettuce roll up, or you can just put it over salad. It's one of my go to lunches for work.

That sounds yummy. Thanks for sharing!

So far so good! Just completed 30day shred day 5 level 1 and then did a 1mile walking video with Leslie Sansone. Just trying to get in my 45mins of workout and boy was I not feeling like it today, wanted to just be LAZY! glad I got up and got my workout in. And drinking my water and also staying under sodium!!

Hopefully Friday's weigh-in brings me better results this week!

Epic FAIL on the sodium today...had bubby's special teriyaki BBQ! It was so good, but wow, the sodium!! At least now I know, right?

I SUCK at staying under on sodium...lol...

Anyway, here's the updated weights - I haven't had a chance to get in the mini-challenge stuff yet. Sorry it's so late!!

Ugh I've been stuck on the sofa since saturday morning, woke up feeling dreadful - figured I was coming down with the flu or something. Begrudgingly accepted I'd not be running...by 3pm I was in full blown flu mode, terrible sinuses, headaches, aches and running a temperature, dosed up with day nurse and trying to get through to the evening.
Lost all appetite by 5pm but tried to eat something small in the evening.
Up at 3am that night to start a whole night of no sleep, passing out and throwing up.
Spent all day sunday on the sofa, by 1pm I could keep fluids down, managed to keep some clear soup down, and then in the evening tried some plain chicken and some chips.
Today (monday) I'm still stuck on the sofa, feel dizzy and am running a temperature even just lying down, but thankfully I'm not throwing up any more.
It's so frustrating though! I want my body to cooperate, let me eat (and drink) without having to be sooooo careful, and I want to get out and do something already...I'm bored out of my mind!!!!

AAAARGH
So yeah calories havn't and won't be a problem for a few days, nor will sodium I assume...but water is a bit of an effort (even though I'm REALLY trying to drink lots to stop dehydration...it's just my stomach is so sore that I have to take small sips rather than downing it the way I normally do...
But yeah exercise aint going to happen til MUCH later this week....

K2quiere !!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Having an awful week. :-( Have like zero motivation, and also have no healthy food in and no money to buy any with until Friday so having to just eat what we have like pasta, frozen chips, etc. :-/ Little one is being really fussy this week which makes me feel all BLAH and stressful too.
Had a swim yesterday and have Zumba tonight so it's not totally awful I suppose!

I know it's late in the game, but I just joined MFP yesterday and saw the August challenge posted on the newcomer's page. I'm in! I've lost 4 pounds since yesterday (water weight, but I'll take it!) I really feel that if I push myself and have a team goal to work towards as well as my own, that I can lose another 6 by the end of the month.
So glad I found this site and this challenge!
GO RED TEAM!
