Christmas Countdown Challenge (Closed Group) - Week 4

i caught my boyfriend digging in my goal jeans with my money in them ! he had no idea what they ment and felt really bad afterwards so he told me for every week i worked out and stayed with in my calories he'd double my money!

Nice!!! Great to have that support!!!

Ok, I have lots of catching up to do on all the thread. I've just caught a few messages here and there. I hope next week is a better week for me. Sometimes I think I have no time to breath. This summer has been quite an emotional summer for me. It's almost as though a tornado came through my life and left everything a mess. I'm trying to clean it all up, but sometimes finding myself overwhelmed. One day at a time, I keep telling myself. Eventually, I'll be able to breath again! I keep reminding myself that everything happens for a reason and my whirlwind will help my life get better. Now, I have to work on getting a good eating and exercising routine. I can do it!

The good news, my weigh-in for the first time since the first week of this challenge went down!!! Woo hoo!!! I was just about losing hope, but then I finally lost!!! That just motivates me to do even better for next week. I want to get under that 200! I can do it, so close. A couple of months ago, I got as close as 200.5, but then it started to get back up again. I lost motivation and then this challenge got me motivated again. Thank you for the motivation even when it's just my occasional message making it on the thread!

CW: 203.5

Have a nice week ya'll!

Sigh.

Vacation and lots of restaurant eating took its toll on me this week.

CW = 256 (up 2 pounds)

But I'm not beating myself up about it. I"ll just jump back into the program tomorrow and will feel awesome to be living the healthy life again. Will lose those 2 pounds and start back on my way to losing the rest and this will just have been a bump in the road.

I've done a great job with sleeping during my vacation and keeping my water up over 80 ounces per day. I've done about half of the crunches, but not all of them. Have put away my $5 for the week.

Looking forward to getting back into the groove!

Great attitude to have!!!! You will do it...small bumps in the road stil lead to our destination. Keep on going.
Need to head to bed...just out enjoying our last concert in the park for the season. Collective Soul played. Have to enjoy all the nice outdoor weather we can in Minnesota before frigid sets in!!! Hope everyone has a great week.

CW - 142.2 :sad:

Can't get a break with this up and down weight for the last 3 weeks. Can't figure if its sodium, lack of sleep, stress, or too much/not enough exercise. Going on vacation this week. This ought to be fun for the waist line! :embarassed:

190.... friggin vacation! Back at er this week tho! Full Force!! My plan is a minimum of 1/2 hour each day hopefully at least 1 hour of cardio and then whatever else I feel like.

CW 161 Friggin vacation and no water and lots of sodium. Back on the wagon today and next week will be better:) Have a great day!

Lost what I put on last week, back down to 182lb again

Doing great with the sleep challenge, but then I always get at least 7 1/2 hours sleep anyway, occasionally interrupted for 5 minutes due to a 2 1/2yr old and 4 yr old, but this is rare.

Did all my crossovers, some of the jump rope that I didn't do last week, ate all my fruit and veg and drank my quota of water each day.

Haven't put the money away yet - must get onto that!

CW: 179lbs.

Down 0.2 lb from last week. Not great, but at least it's still a loss.

No change! :sad: But I'm back to exercising so i expect big things this week!

Today is the first day back to teaching. I am needing a nap. Hope everyone is having a good Monday.
