    I joined this website months ago with good intentions but never used it. Now I'm back and determined to suceed! I think this challenge will give the motivation I need!

    We're all gonna punch October in the face! XD

    And the punching begins...

    Since Monday is my usual weigh-in day (like some of the others to keep motivated to stay on track over the weekend)...
    Oct 1st: 148
    Oct 3rd: 147 (-1 pound)

    I will have a few challenging days this month, with Canadian Thanksgiving, our wedding anniversary (we're overnighting at a whisky distillery), my hubby's birthday, and Halloween... So, the plan is high protein, limited carbs, lots of water, and daily exercise.

    My SW on Friday was 166 so I offcally GAINED 2 Pounds last month!

    K so the plan is that if im not cleaning or following my kids around then they are sleeping and im sitting. but other than that im gonna try to stay with them inside and outside and im gonna walk my son to school as much as possible which takes about 15-20 minutes for him to ride his bike with me trailing behind

    I really have to clean all the walls and basebords in my house.. I have to clean out my car.. I have to clean out my garage.. I have to clean out the room my cat has his stuff in... Its ("Fall Cleaning") lol

    ...... Stupid utah is getting soo cold! and also Hot! unpredictable to weather its gonna be 80 or 40 these days and it sucks really really bad it makes it hard to make a committment and stay on track to walking every day cause I do not handle cold well and even with heavy clothes on I still pretty much refuse to walk outside if its cold. it sucks so bad because then even on a good day im unmotivated because i think whats the point one walk isn't going to do me any good so why walk at all if I cant be consistent ....so this is where my elliptical comes in.. My bonus room was sooo hot this summer so I couldn't put my elliptical up there if I wanted to survive but now its cooling off so I can finally have no excuses and hopefully plenty of motivation.

    Just because I think you should know, one walk WILL do you good. A lot more good than NO walk will do you!
    Also... hot room=sweat=weight loss & cold outside=body trying to heat you up=weight loss!
    Just saying cuz I love you! :wink:

    Walking does a ton of good! An hour at 4 mph, a very brisk pace burns 521 calories. Tell me that ain't awesome! I alternate between that and a half hour of jumprope. I've heard longer, sustained cardio and short, intense cardio both have different benefits. :)
