    I did pretty good today, I got on the treadmill for 20 minutes this morning and then walked my daughter to the park and played with her. I stayed within my calorie goal thanks to my exercise calories. I drank lots of water. Good day :)

    Nice third day. I exercised for 90 minutes and am under my calories. Drank my green tea and all water. On my way to do my good habit. I did however give in to a monster taco craving but I'm ok with that cuz I worked my butt off (581 calories zapped today). How is everyone doing? I feel so privileged to be going through this with all of you! Y'all are an amazing group. Goodnight all :/)

    Ok, Days 4, 5 and 6!!!! I am going away in a couple of hours time for a weekend by the sea with my family and my sisters family to celebrate my sisters 50th birthday. Apart from the cardio I did this morning and a good hours walk, the rest of my weekend will be focused around eating and drinking :drinker: I will try my hardest to make smart food choices but this kind of celebration doesn;t come around too often.

    Look forward to seeing how you are all doing when I log back on on Monday.

    Take care and enjoy your weekends,

    Sam x

    Nice to see, that for the most part everybody is doing well.

    For me day 4, again not enough drinking. Stayed in the green, so thats okay.
    Going to bed soon, so the sleeping should go well and no snacking that's good.
    Last night i slept really bad, but i guess that was just processing the busy week.

    Tomorrow we're eating out with the parents in law :ohwell: , so it's going to be hard to stay in the green.
    We will see!
    Good night everyone and a good weekend!

    Dinner is done. If my husband hadn't pulled out the bottle of wine, I would have been within my daily calories. I stuck to just one glass (not that I could handle much more than that anyways). I got in 30 minutes of cardio this morning. Everyone else's goals are rubbing off. I'm trying to drink more water or non-caloric beverages during the day, especially when I start getting hungry. As you all know, this weekend will be the challenge. My husband took the day off of work today, and while he ate chips, I abstained. So, if I can just stick to it during the rest of the weekend, I'll be ok. Trying to avoid temptation while feeling hungry is going to be the challenge. Celery sticks and water here I come. Ok, I can do better than that- healthy, interesting snacks will be had.

    Day 4 was less than stellar. Family is here for the football game tomorrow so the junk food is everywhere (and will be tomorrow as well). So needless to say I went over my calories and did not cook. I didn't get on the bike today but put in 45 minutes on the elliptical and spent about 2 hours raking leaves. I drank 4 bottles of water.

    I had a pretty decent day, although I didn't eat often enough or have time for vigorous exercise. I did walk with my daughter to the library, about 6 blocks each way. I stayed within my calorie goal and got a ton of homework done :).

    Day 4: I met all my goals today - 60 mins cardio, strength training, logging what I ate, and staying within the four hour maximum between meals. I drank all 64 ounces of water. Today I attended an all-day workshop, and will be there again tomorrow and Sun. The days are long, 9 - 7, but I packed two snacks today and that prevented me from going more than four hours without eating. Thinking about checking in kept me from eating more after dinner which was around 8 this evening. All of you have kept me on track, so thank you!

    Day 4--I didn't get to workout, and I did go over my calories today. But I am going to celebrate the successes...today I received 4 miniature candy bars from students, and at the end of the day I tossed them. It's funny, but I've never received so many candy bars from my kids in one week than I have since this challenge started. LOL
    We had a dessert night at church tonight, and I allowed myself 2 treats instead of loading up the plate.

    Checking in for Day 4....I probably went over in calories since i had a "free" dinner last night. Went to the Burger Bar and had a veggie burger, no bun, sweet potato fries, and our waitress gave us free dessert which wasn't bad. To hear me say that the dessert wasn't bad, and I totally love sweets is kind of amazing. I don't even feel like I need to eat dessert there again. We got home so late last night, I went straight to bed. Overall I feel like Day 4 was a success.
