  • Woo! I am so happy that I am finally losing again! Lol. I was at a stand still for a bit. I have seriously been working harder, that I am also doing office exercises. It's embarrassing for me still, but I have been doing them on my breaks. When my cubicle buddy steps out :P.

    Also, great job on everyone's losses!! You all are doing such a fantastic job!! No one said it would be easy, but all of you make it look that way ;)

    Hello all!

    Lost 1/2 pound - which I am happy with since I had two sick babies this week and hubby was away on a business trip, and didn't get in all the exercising I wanted to.

    Hubby's home, kiddies are better, so I am getting back on track!

    Happy Sunday everyone!

    I'm going to skip this week's mini challenge as I'll be out of town for work and won't be making my own schedule for food or exercise!! I will ensure that I work out at least 60 mins each day and make the best food choices I can. :smile:

    Good luck everyone!

    1. Continue drinking 64 oz water/day
    Done and done

    2. 3,500 calories = 1 lb...try to burn 3,500 calories exercising between Friday Sept. 9 and Thursday Sept. 15 (it's only 500 calories/day - you got this!!)
    TOTAL: 4649

    3. Share one of your favorite healthy recipes!
    BANANA-PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL
    1/3 - 1/2 cup quick oats
    ½ tsp Ground Ginger (optional)
    1 tsp Ground Cinnamon (optional)
    1 tbsp peanut butter
    I like the taste of cooking on the stove better then the microwave so. I put the oats, spices, and enough water to cook it (slowly). Went it looks creamy enough to eat I stir in the PB to melt it and top it off with the banana at the end. I had this for breakfast today along with a scrambled egg and coffee an it was only 373.
  • Count me in :) 4lb so far this month and only started my new healthy future a week ago :) bring it on x

    1.Will do and have no problem.

    2. Make a plan and follow it!

    I have a rough idea of what to eat and when I can exercise but it will be hard to set to a specific time of day because I am starting a new shift at work (2a-10:30a) and I am still not sure how that will work out with my normal eating, sleeping, and exercise times. I’m going to do the best I can but until I get used to it I don’t know what the best time will be for me. I do know that I sleep better when I do intense workout then without so there is no doubt that I will be exercising. There is also the fact that my job is physically demanding and I also have a bad left heel that will hurt if I hit it wrong. Wish it was normal like my right heel, then I wouldn’t have as much of a problem with it. So here is a rough sketch of what I will be doing for the next four days. There is also the fact that my husband wants to go out to eat Wednesday or Thursday so my dinner plans might change.
    FOOD/EXERCISE:
    Mon-
    Meal1: smoothie, coffee, egg: 350 cal.
    Meal2: tomato soup & salad 150-200 cal.

    Meal2: ½ English muffin & 1 LC tomato wedge & salad 150-200 cal.
    Meal3: popcorn, cut veggies, 300 cal.
    Meal4: makeover tater-topped casserole, water 400 cal.
    Snacks: 8 cherries, 1 apple, 150 cal.
    Exercise: 1:30-2:30p circuit training for 20-30 min & a 30/40 min run-hike

    Snacks: 8 cherries, 1 apple, 150 cal.
