    The first day was a good start. Today I ate every three hours, did 60 minutes of cardio and strength training, and drank all 8 glasses of water. I struggled around 7pm with wanting to snack on some almonds, but i keep busy and made it through. It really helped to think about having to report in. I did well with my food choices today. I played around with the database combining foods I thought about eating, and was able to plan my meals for the day and not just grab at things. I am going to work at keeping that pattern going through November.

    Day 1:
    1-Recorded everything think I ate and even tried to measure out things better so no guessing.
    2.-drank 2 liters of water at work (the added bonus being more to trips the restroom on the other side of the building). After work though I only had a few sips of water so I need to work on that.
    3.-Spin class on Tuesdays so I wil try and get on the bike trainer tonight.

    Hi!
    Ok, so I stuck to the challenge except didn't realize I needed to check in yesterday...oops! I logged in everything. Last night was also our date night, although oddly enough I think I was pretty close to staying in the green. Its hard to be 100% accurate when guessing restaurant foods, unless its a chain with a posted listing. After dinner my husband wanted to take me to a local place for frozen custard (I hadn't been before), so I only had a kids cup. It tasted great, and was just the right portion size. This morning I've already logged in breakfast, and will be heading to the gym as soon as my little one finishes her breakfast.

    Day 2 - not so good :ohwell:

    Gone over on cals by a couple of hundred, which surprisingly is the same amount as that white choc chip bakery cookie I just found in the kitchen!!!!
    No cardio for me today, I've done a full day at work followed by a governors meeting at school so I am completely pooped. Should manage to do 300 crunches though this evening.
    Replaced some of my coffee with green tea, so I am a little closer to changing my caffeine habit.

    Take care all x

    So, i tried to log in yesterday but something went wrong. After 3 times a gave up, but probably it was two lpng days in a row that just killed me.
    Stayed on track yesterday, drank enough water (counted the tea) and my total amount cal was okay.
    But today, pff. Ate to much (chips, sweets you name it). And i didn't even drink enough and got no exercise done.

    It seems everytime i start a challenge (first i followed a different counting site), i can't stay on track.

    Okay enough complaining, got to pick it up. Tomorrow a new day a new round!

    Day 2--
    Much better today!
    Staying at about 1200 calories.
    Drank more water.
    Avoided the candy bowl at work, and SUCCESS--I was given a Twix bar and a Kit Kat, and I threw them away! That is huge for me...if I weren't doing this challenge and fully aware that I had to log on tonight, then I would have eaten both of them.
    Woohoo!

    Hope everyone else is doing well today.

    This has been a pretty good start to the month. Meeting my goals and a nice nsv today. I hope the rest of the month goes as well.

    First weeks goals:
    90 min cardio to get back on track (80 min done 10 left)
    20 Min strength ( 50 done)
    Keep my numbers in the green (I did much better today Everything was green)

    I also need to get back into the habit of drinking at least 9 glasses of water. (12 glasses)

    My free day is Sunday

    Knowing I was going to post again tonight kept me in control and to stick to my goals. It meant adding spinach to dinner, watching how much I ate, and logging it all in. I also got 45 minutes worth of cardio this morning. And now I will walk away from the kitchen (well, the food at least, the dishes still need to be done).

    Okay Day #2. Did not do any of my challenges but had to have surgery today to have the hardware removed from my left ankle. No excuses, I know, but I did however do my diary and check in with the November challenge, so I guess not everything was a wash. Will get back on the bandwagon tomorrow. However probably will not be doing any exercise until November 16th when I get my staples out. Will have to really watch the food intake for this two weeks, which I feel very confident about. You girls are all doing an awesome job. It is nice to read everyone's messages. Keeps me motivated to do well watching all of your progress. Keep up the good work everyone!!! Talk to you all tomorrow! (If there are any mistakes or contradicting statements in this post I blame it all on the pain meds). HeHeHeHeHe

    Day 2:
    So I forgot that I did actually cook something on day 1 for supper so tonight was left overs. I honesty think that was the first time I had made supper in about a month. Logged everything today and stayed below my calories.

    -DId 30 minutes of interval spinning on the training stand.

    -Drank 2.5 liters of water.

    Only stepped on the scale once today.

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    Day 2 was a bust food wise. I had difficulty staying away from sugar. I did log everything in the food diary. I did 50 minutes of cardio on the arc trainer at the gym.
    Followed through with the healthy habit of flossing :)

    Huh. I think I'm in a different time zone as you guys.
    It seems like everyone logs pretty early, like 5pm for me.
    Oh well. It's about 7:30pm here, now.

    Pretty good day, landed a job that has me walk 8-10 miles a night.
    Not really done eating for the day, but my excersize was good.

    Half an hour of cardio and strength total. 15 mins short of my goal.
    Not done eating, like I said, but I still have around 525 cals left before my limit.
    Brushed and flossed twice (:
