    Looks like this was a huge challenge for all of us!!! It's good to see that we always have room to improve.

    Soooooooo, any thoughts on challenges for next week?

    I did pretty well with dinner last night, I think I was at 29 minutes. Part of that was that I was so tired from my weightlifting class that I was just moving slow in general.

    I'm still waiting on my pedometer. It's now shipped and should be here by the end of next week. Nice. (The other package I ordered from the same place on the same day? Yeah, the one I don't actually need until next month. It'll be here today.)

    My steps for Friday was 11,352. Did lots of walking at work then after work we went shopping.. The eating is still a struggle for me. It will be something I will continue to work on even after this challenge is completed.

    I wasn't really able to count my steps but I did make sure that I was walking as much as I could this week. I took the dog out for longer walks everyday and went to places like malls and flea markets and just walked.

    I have been doing great on the eating slow challenge and I have noticed that it helps out a lot. I actually feel full!

    I also weighed in this morning and I am 295 which is a 5 Ib lost for me!

    Look at all that you've accomplished this week - weight loss (5lbs!!!! Yeeeeeah buddy), slowing down when eating and ramping up your steps. If you didn't meet the goals, I hope you have at least become more aware.

    As for me, I would have never made the 10,000+ a day without working out. I totally should have done this challenge this upcoming week since I'll be at our downtown office twice this week (it's about 3.0 miles to/from the train to/from my office - and that's just to and from the train/office). I'm going to track my steps again this week and have a goal of 80,000. Yes, I am crazy!!

    This week, I hit 67869. Close, but not too close!!! I did much better with the eating as the week progressed. I was able to get through a whole tv show or the news.

    Week 3's challenge is about to be posted. Check it out on your home page! Looking forward to reading your successes of the week!

    Week two completed..I think the longest it ever took me to eat a meal was 15 minutes...I will continue to work on that....maybe I'll make my kids do that...HAHAHAHA...my steps for this week were 72, 353! I did manage to lose 4.2 pounds and inches 1 inch on my thigh and 2 inches in the waist, and 1.5 inches in the abs..so i am very happy about that.....up for next weeks challenge....bring it on MO! ;)

    On a side note I was able to ride the bike path with wicked hills in under 20 minutes! It's 3.1 miles and I did not have to get off and walk my bike up the insane hills....I had to pedal hard but I made it, and I could breath when I got done...1st time this week about 21 minutes and tonight 19 minutes 31 seconds!

    Laz - you machine!!!! The bf just bought a bike and wants to go riding, but the weather has been so hot or rainy that we haven't gone. A hilly trail?!?!? And you weren't huffing and puffing at the end! That is a total NSV if I've ever heard one! That just shows that you pushed but paced yourself and were smart enough not to overdo it! So proud of you. And those losses are great!

    Love - I love that you're going to keep tracking your steps. Me too!!! This week showed me that I'm sometimes a slackass and need to move more!!!

    On a funny note - - - I normally kept my pedometer on my pant pocket (you could see it if I had a shorter top on). Yesterday, I was at the store and some teenager laughed at me and asked if that was a pager. LOL!!! Pleeeeeeease, pagers are so 1995! It's a pedometer. I thought that, but didn't say it! I felt that if I said that, the kid would be rolling on the floor in laughter, so I didn't. Darm youth! :laugh:
