    Didn't do bad this week but still need to work on the exercise portion....did pretty good on the food side though even with my sons birthday dinner and that leftover Halloween candy. Will get that exercise in this week....baby steps I guess

    Thanks for the new format Donna

    I lost 1/2 pound over the course of the last week. It's not much, but I'll take any loss! Here's to week 2!

    Today's mini challenge: I walked for an hour in the woods w/ my kids. It wasn't quite brisk (considering I had a 5yr old I had to drag along part of the time!) but I was also pushing a trail stroller over uneven terrain. I just finsihed my situps.. did some reverse situps, some regular crunches and some twisting situps.

    I'm liking the new format too.

    Week 1 was momentum for me to keep up with this. Apparently I gained 3 lbs but i feel it was because of my transition from "bad dieting" to "good dieting". Before this I wouldn't eat up to my normal calories, but since I've started really getting into this fitness craze (And this challenge) I've been eating alot more and regular (healthy mind you) so i figured the weight gain is from those extra calories that my body isn't used to having these days. So I'll continue to keep this up because I know this is a better path for me and I am doing better (even if the scale is LYING!) I will say, that I've been feeling more fit lately, so that will be my accomplishment.......for now.:wink:

    For Monday's mini challenge, I got in my crunches during an abs class at the gym but only did 30 minutes of cardio. I was also barely under my calories for the day.

    HAPPY TUESDAY MORNING EVERYONE!!!!!!

    I completed everything for Monday's Mini Challenge.

    :flowerforyou: Quote of the Day:

    "Never give up on a dream just because of the length of time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway."


    :noway: I am still looking for some weight entries on the spread sheet. I have sent reminder messages.

    Hope you all have a great day.

    Keep Smiling :smile: :wink: :smile: ,

    Love the idea of a daily challenge. Can you add me to the group?
    I have to decide which one of my comfort foods to give up now! I may have to modify some of the exercises as I am recovering from an injury, but I will find something to get the same effect.

    Thank you!
