    Thank you so much for the muffin recipe. Cannot wait to try it. I also have a recipe for protein bars which I am going to try this weekend and then I will let you know if they are any good. No flour and no sugar in these either.
    1. Walked 30 minutes--check.
    2. Stayed within calorie goal--check.
    3. Had cereal with sugar on it--will try harder tomorrow.
    4. Enjoying this journey with a GREAT bunch of people--priceless.

    As for days 1 & 2 of my goals :

    I haven't lost any more weight yet. I'm up a little over 2lbs from my last weigh in on Sunday but I figure it is water weight and its that time of the month... so I will wait and see.

    I did log in both days. yay!

    Yesterrday I worked out a little bit... but I like that I worded it as 6 hours total or 5 days per week! lol... Today I have a test I have to prepare for, and then my class tonight is 4 hours. So it looks like my impact is going to have to be on the calorie deficit for today and yesterday. Tomorrow I will try to get on for an hour or maybe add an extra half hour walking if the weather is nice outside.

    ~Cooking @ home... RIght now I am boiling potatoes! Hey they are a vegetable. :) ANd I am going to try to keep it light on the salt and butter. I bought some bean soup mixes that I would like to experiment with and I have been looking up chicken noodle soup recipes. Maybe make it this weekend :)


    All in all... not the most triumphant start for Oct but I plan to get better. :) I will have to think about goals too. LIke maybe adding 10 minute increments to exercise or watching a particular nutrient and not just calories.


    My goals for this month are:

    ~ To lose 20 more pounds by November 1st.
    ~Log in every day
    ~ Work out cumulative 6 hours a week or 5 days per week
    ~Experiment more with cooking at home

    :)

    As of October 3rd this is how I am doing with my challenge:

    1. I had 80ish ounces of water (out of 128oz)
    2. I exercised for 2 hours (split) (out of 60 mins a day)
    3. I failed to STAY WITHIN CALORIES as I had a horrible night of late binging.
    4. I did complete my food diary & failed to post this on Monday BUT appreciated the inbox reminder!!

    my starting weight is 192 and I have a cute red shirt I would like to fit into. Thanks for this challenge that I will report on daily.

    Yesterday I went to the gym burned 400 calories, My goal for the day is 1250, but i ate 1450 because i had some leway from the gym loss. Today I only ate spaghetti because i was havign terrible cravings for it. I didnt get to go to the gym today. =( I work 3rd shift normally but the past 2 days have been picking shifts for 2nd, and it is so hard to time out meals with the difference in the day. That is what is killing me trying to balance my food out throughtout the day. But today I am going to stay under my calories. TOmorrow night and thursday night I will be back on night shift and tomorrow is zumba at my gym I love that! good luck everyone!
