    Hi All! I overate at dinner a bit last night - and was discouraged to see one slip up reflected on the scale this morning. No junk food or anything - just too big a portion size :(

    Today was much better - again, until dinner time. Again, overdid it on portion size.

    I think b/c I haven't slept well the past couple of nights - I don't make the best decisions when I'm exhausted!

    So, heading to bed early tonight, hoping for a good night sleep & a five star day tomorrow!

    Have been getting in at least 30 minutes of exercise, but working to add more.

    Hugs to all,

    Amy

    Hi Everyone!! Well, today is a much better day food wise. I slept almost 12 hours last night (so no sleep points for me as I overdid) - but I think I figured out why I haven't been feeling up to snuff. My allergies have either gone wild, or I am sick. Raw/dry hard to swallow throat, achy all over, headache. Ick! Also tipping the scale toward the sick side is that my 5 year old who has no allergies, woke up with the same symptoms :(

    As much as I wanted to crawl back into bed, I knew that would do me no favors, especially coming off of 12 hours of sleep! So, I took an allergy pill, popped some Advil & have been doing housework all day. I plan to try to give 30 day shred a go in a few minutes.

    Karen - love the criminal minds workout!

    Kelly - How's the exercise going?

    Melissa - Yay for running without pain!

    Pam - wow on getting 6 exercise points in a day - that's impressive!

    Renee - Great calorie burns!

    Robin - you are always on top of tracking your points!

    Diane - great workout plan for the weekend!

    Weigh in tomorrow!

    Amy :)

    What is one healthy habit you would like to develop? Outline your plan on our thread :)


    For example - I would like to get in the habit of working out in the morning before work. So, this week I will plan to get in at least a 30 minute workout on M/W/F mornings before work.

    My points for today = 5. Total points for Week 5 = 33.5. My highest week so far has been 43.5, so I'm going to try to beat that!

    Steps toward my Week 6 Habit Challenge -

    1. I will lay out my workout clothes & sneakers next to my bed.

    2. I will set my alarm for 6:20 AM

    Have a great night all!

    Hugs, Amy :)

    Yeah! I'm so excited to get through this week. It was SO hard to not exercise for the few days I took off. It's become such a part of my day it feels almost compulsory now.

    Sunday Points:

    Log: 1
    Water: 1
    Exercise: 3
    Sleep: 1

    Total Points: 6

    Total points week 1: 34
    Total points week 2: 47
    Total points week 3: 43
    Total points week 4: 31
    Total points week 5: 32
    Total points overall: 179

    My healthy habit I'd like to develop is sticking to my retraining regiment for running. I have a tendency to do too much too soon and this last time I ended up with terrible shin splints. So... here is my fitness schedule:

    Monday: 1.25 mile run
    Tuesday: Yoga Meltdown, 2 mile walk
    Wednesday: 1.5 mile run
    Thursday: Yoga Meltdown, 2 mile walk
    Friday: 1.75 mile run
    Saturday: Yoga Meltdown, 2 mile walk
    Sunday: REST DAY (2 mile walk with kids if they ask for one)

    My healthy habit is going to be doing crunches every am. I usually go on the computer and check facebook and email in am which is just as much time to get crunches in. My points this week was30. Exercise has been a struggle but I am trying to fit anything in, even doing lunges/stairs at work when I have a few minutes. Here's to weighing less tomorrow!

    Today's scale reading puts me down to 164.4 pounds, a 2 pound loss, which is more than I want to lose in a week! I'm wondering if it's a water weight loss in relation to finishing the 30 Day Shred. I'm going to go another week at my current calorie level and then up it if I need to! I don't want to chance losing muscle!
