    Well I tried to add everyone in the challenge, but apparently there's a limit on how many requests you can make in a time frame, so everybody add me :)

    Total loss-
    Currently the scale says I lost more but I'll confirm next week. I'd be so happy to break into the 170's, I can't remember the last time I was there. Also, for this month I am running my 2nd 5K on Thanksgiving morning (Turkey Trot) and my goal is to beat my first time and actually RUN the whole thing. My focus for the next few weeks is to actually complete my C25K to help me with my 5K! Nice to meet you all!

    I have been allowing myself one day a week lately to kinda splurge and then make it up towards the end of the week. With today being my daughters 2nd birthday i have designated today that day so it wont be a model day for me! My diary is open however and i am always brutally honest with what i take in - only way to hold myself accountable!

    I believe my diary is open to freinds but here's what I have planned so far:

    Breakfast - steelcut oatmeal with brown sugar (might have overdone that a little :blushing: ), hard boiled egg

    Lunch - Orowheat (?) whole wheat sandwhich thin with slice of ham and american cheese; baby carrots

    Dinner - not sure yet (dinner is usually never planned - can't think that far ahead :blushing: )

    Snack - strawberries, mixed fresh fruit

    I am not a planner unfortunately, so I tend to eat when hungry and never know what it will be (although I tend to stick to fruit, vegg, 100 calorie snack packs, or diet ice cream).

    Hope everyone is having a great hump day! I've been having a hard couple days so I'm trying to be more energetic and careful today. Sleep deprevation can do nasty things to your mood, diet and exercise! :yawn: :yawn: How do you ladies with toddlers, infants do it? Mine just does not sleep well most nights (a lot of it is teething and congestion etc). Ugh! I get to the point that I just don't care what I put on my mouth and I hate that!

    kids not sleeping is the worst!!!! i totally feel you on that one. just do the best you can, and do what you can. focus on what you put in your mouth more than even excercise on those days. also for congestion while teething or just in general i have found something that works. I am sure your little one is old enough to use vicks but make sure when they are young with your doctor, but there is a small waterless vicks machiene that uses these little pads. It glows green when you plug it in. THe last on I got was about 12 or 14 bucks and the refill pads are around 5. I pug this in and shut the door and i kid you not it is MAGIC!!! it kept my daughter unclogged all night when she teethed or was just sick. It also helps to keep them from caughing at night when they are sick. Just an idea and hope this makes sense, i am working on little sleep today!!!

    On the days when my son does not sleep..I take a nap at lunch or during a break at work if it's a work day...if not I go down in the beginning of his nap for 30 mins or in the middle of his nap. Sometime i use water to help keep me up so I drink when I start getting sleepy...hang in there pretty soon your LO will sleep through the night...my son sleeps through the night sometimes now but it only started once he was 12 months.

    i dont think any of us mothers have a ryhme or reason of how we do it, lol, we just do because we are mommies, lol. i eat horrible in the middle of the night due to being up with my baby. when i get up to make him bottle i grab the 1st thing i see. halloween it was candy, all bad...but im trying to change that. i usually just dont leave sweets around.

    Good morning!!! so far ive had-

    Breakfast- 1 serving of frosted flakes with 1 cup of milk- (used kid bowl to make sure 1 serving) and coffee with 1/3 milk-273 calories

    I dont plan to workout today. I went to bed early last night and plan to do the same tonight and will awake early in the am to do a little 30 day shred!! my body was screaming for sleep! with that being said...what i eat needs to be healthy and within calorie budget. How do you ladies plan to reach your 3 pound goal this month? For me, i made a change, i decided to:

    Change my goal to lose .05 a week through calorie reduction (this allows me to eat 1530 calories rather than 1280 which i was not doing well at)

    Run, Run, Run and Shred some to burn at least 1500 calories a week in exercise....i will not eat my exercise calories back due to me increasing my calories to 1530.

    So this is my goal to get to 3 pound loss- whats yours?

    Thanks ladies for all of the words of support! It helps to be able to vent a little to ladies who understand! Last night my little angel slept ALL night without a peap!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I am so happy; although I know it more than likely won't last at least for right now. Kelley - my baby will turn 1 in a couple weeks so here's hoping she magically starts sleeping all night consistantly!

    Wow - my baby turns 1 in a couple weeks!!! I still can't believe it's been one year!

    Ok, as for food today:

    Breakfast - whole wheat english muffin with PB

    Lunch - some lean cuisine thing :wink:

    Dinner - not sure

    Snacks - fruit and a fiber one brownie (Yes, they are good)
