ONE-WEEK MINI-CHALLENGE-11/6-11/12

I'm not done with my day enough to check in yet, but I did want to pop in and say hello. Today is going MUCH better than yesterday, and I'm feeling a little more focused and in control today. Thanks for all the support and encouragement!0
-
Tuesday check in:
1. Drink more water - check
2. Workout at least 3 times this week - 1/3
3. Log everything - checkI will say this much, that no eating after 8pm has got to be the hardest goal I have ever tried to accomplish! I knew that I was a bad snacker but seriously its like a drug. I will overcome! The time change has actually helped me a little. I went to the gym "earlier" at 8pm yesterday and to bed by 9:30pm! So I really only had like 45mins of fighting the urge to snack.
Arrgghh amen!! It wasn't one of my mini goals this week but I decided for tonight it would be my goal, but even just for one night is so hard! I think I just have a mental thing going on where I think I need to be munching on something in the evening, even though I am not the slightest bit hungry.0 -
Shabambam: welcome, good luck to your goals!
jljohnson: great job accomplishing the goals most of the time. Weekends suck for a few of us, but way to hop right back on on Monday!
bhurley: stupid labels, everything just need to work out the way we need it too (at least that's my vote!) Amazing with packing a lunch, not always easy. And I hate to cook too, yet I'm the cook for some reason. (Oh that's right: I'm the parent, boo)
melanie: hope you make that yoga class, I love yoga!
la_nanita: glad time change is helping you with that snacking. Is your ticker a picture you took?
jennyph: awesome with your goals, you are very steady and reaching them!
fitnessmonthly: rice cooker, mmm. I didn't realize they banned other tickers, so sad. I was considering doing an exercise ticker too. ( I need some sort of motivation.)
mpontorno: Early Thanksgiving party, but yay for more turkey (if you do that)!! Hope you stick to your goals like you've been doing, at least until Saturday night.
Philosohoe: glad today is going better, I need some of your motivation and focus to rub off on me all the way across the country. I'm losing "The Jenn" factor/encouragement.
stufie: you are also doing great on reaching your goals. Go you!
My check in:
Chalean, six times this week: 0/6. My car needed repair immediately this morning (a flat tire) and $800 later in repairs, and six hours, and I quit the day after that. Oh, and cub scouts, tonight was our first night. Grrr
3 fruits/veggies: 1/5 nope, only two
Protein higher than fat: 1/5 not even close for today. I really need to refocus.
Don't let my anyone drag down my eating habits: 1/5 I dragged me down today. Not a lot of time to cook dinner, so two hot dogs hurt. Oh, and Starbucks while waiting for my car didn't help either. C'mon me, I need to focus! :mad:0 -
Ah, this new forum thing is freaking me out. You guys think we should form our own group next week?
BTW, sorry for the MIA status. Parents are in town until Friday so I only get a small amount of time to log between work, physical therapy, family time, and also a wee bit of exercise. Hehe, I think I will be back in full groove (if lighter in weights) by next week. So yay!
Will check in again soon!0 -
Personally? I like this group in the main board forums as it seems more are likely to see us and join. But that's just my thought... Groups are so new so it's not all that comfy for me yet... but I guess I can go with whatever majority decides.Ah, this new forum thing is freaking me out. You guys think we should form our own group next week?

Tuesday night check in:
1) Three Zumba workouts YES! 1/3
2) Three Elliptical workouts 0/3
3) One yoga workout 0/1
4) NO MORE HALLOWEEN CANDY! Successful with this one today. Much better day today.
As for the "new forum" or "groups" thing, I apparently don't pay close enough attention to anything. I noticed that everyone's tickers and signatures disappeared, but I didn't notice anything else had changed. Silly me, I just click on my topics and here we are!
Hope everyone has a lovely Wednesday. I'm headed to bed early tonight to make up for last night's late night. Good night!!0 -
Good evening fellow mini goalers. Just got home from bowling and I’m super-duper tired, I can tell I’m still not 100% over this silly cold.
I just wanted to say how wonderful, amazing and awesome you all are. I love the support, encouragement and outpouring of caring that comes from this group. I’m sending you all HUGS via my internet cable
Klbeal – Great job Monday! Isn’t it great the amount of energy you get from the AM workouts! I really think that’s my main motivator to keep up the am workouts I really feel like I drag all day when I don’t get it in. Keep working on that after supper snacking, you can do it.
Philosohoe – OH NO not the left over Halloween candy! I sent all the left-over's from my house to my husband’s office so I didn’t have it around… unfortunately my co-workers bring their left overs to my office. It’s surrounding us! So happy to hear your Tuesday went better then Monday did for you. Way to get a Zumba workout in today. Hope you get a good night sleep.
Stufie – HUGGS to you! I’m glad we help give you a boost. This really is a great group I know I couldn’t do this without all the support from all the fabulous mini goalers. I’m right with you on the mental part of needing to munch on something even when your not hungry I’m totally in the same boat. Great job with your goals today.
Ittee – That will be good for you and your husband to have a nice evening together. I did stay away from the food after I checked in Ohhh sorry to hear about the car repair the bill and the time it took… booo! You can do this girl. I know you can. Sending some motivation mojo your way!
Shabambam – Welcome, and looks like you have picked some excellent goals to work on. Really like your goal #3. I really like to cook, and I’m learning new healthier recipes all the time. Good luck to you!
Jenna – Great job Monday and Tuesday, you rocked all three of your goals. Weekends are super tough, but we will master them I know we will!
Bhurley1424 – Glad you were able to remember your 4th goal, it’s a good one! Yeah the sugar in fruit always gets me, but I like my fruit so I just kind of work with the sugar being over. Defiantly read those labels, I’m a label nut (which drives my husband nuts when we go grocery shopping I check everything so it takes me a while to shop.)
Melainemelaine – Way to go with the cycling, that’s AMAZING! Keep up all the great work. Good luck getting in your trip to the gym, have fun at your yoga class. You will have to tell us how it goes! (Maybe that will give you moer invective to go :happy:)
La_nanita – Isn’t the eating after 8pm goal tough!! It’s a struggle. I went to bed a little earlier than usual yesterday too to get away from the temptation of the kitchen. Tonight since I was at bowling it was easier to avoid the snacks. Keep on going I know you can get this! Nice job Monday
Jennyph2006 – You are very welcome. I know isn’t Level 2 nuts? Level 3 is hard but I liked it a whole lot more then level 2. So glad you were able to get in a nice walk outside. (PS. What a great picture in your ticker).
Fitnessmonthly – Great ideas for avoiding the eating after 8! I’ll be implementing some of those. I didn’t know they had gotten rid of tickers from other sites. Interesting! Nice job making your goals on Tuesday. Keep up all the great work.
Mpontorno – Way to get your AM workout’s in. Keep it up! Looks like you have done an amazing job with your goals both days. OHHH Thanksgiving party, sounds fun! It is great to have a nice place to come and check in and talk about how things are going and it really does help with accountability.
Ladygloria – Hope you are enjoying your time with your parents. Totally understand the MIA! Isn’t it funny how are alternating has worked out! When my MIL was in town you started the thread, and now your parents are in town and it’s my turn. How about that! Glad to hear I’m not the only one a little freaked out about the new forum thing. I was going to ask about forming a group. I’m good keeping it as we usually have it.
Hearts♥Desire – Goal #1 “hm … that is all.” You are TOO funny. Tomorrow is a new day to have a not “hm” day Way to get in pilates and a run today!! Hope you get a great night sleep.
Tuesday check in:
1. 6 am workouts of my choice – 2/6 rest day… well bowling day, but DVD workout rest day.
2. Be more aware of my food choices – Did ok with this. I caved and ate a half cupcake left over from the weekend. Didn’t really need it and probably should have skipped it, but alas I did not so it’s in the past and I’ll work on making smarter choices tomorrow.
3. Log all extra BLTS (bites, licks, tastes, and sips) – All logged even the afore mentioned cupcake.
4. Water, water, water - more water less other beverages – Only drank water today, but the problem was I didn’t really drink a lot. I find myself not drinking enough water when I work from home. Will need to work a little more on that next week.
5. No eating after 8:00 pm – 2/6 No evening fridge raiding for me yesterday. Doing well so far this evening.
Tomorrow is WEDNESDAY! Half way through the week… WOOT WOOT! Keep on reaching for those mini goals every one. Keep drinking that water, avoiding those late night cravings, getting those workout’s in. We CAN do this! ALL of us. Night all 0 -
Check in:1. continue with 30ds
2. no heavy meal after 8pm
3.eat 2 fruits/day and snack on granola once/day
4. keep track of water intake, i think sometimes i dont get enough and confuse it for hunger
i missed shred workout yesterday but am back on track today. Its hard being excited about a workout with a knee injury and i don't know wat to do about it to make it heal faster
so far am enjoying not having any heavy meal after 8pm, I've been sleeping better at night with no guilt
2 fruits/day and 1 granola bar-CHECK
I've been paying attention to my water intake and am glad to see that am not hungry all the time0 -
As for the "new forum" or "groups" thing, I apparently don't pay close enough attention to anything. I noticed that everyone's tickers and signatures disappeared, but I didn't notice anything else had changed. Silly me, I just click on my topics and here we are!
I'm the same way. I don't see anything different, except that signatures are gone. Why is that? I read the blog on groups but didn't see anything about removing signatures.0 -
LadyGloria: I'm good with HeartsDesire said, that more people may find us this way and I'm good with how it's going. I am part of a "group" and the new format is actually very awesome, but I don't know how many others see us.
HeartsDesire: Love pilates, so much like yoga and I feel all stretched out and awesome. Sorry you lost your bday ticker.
Philosohoe: yay for no Halloween candy for you! Yoga huh? What about your back? You're going to be super careful, right?
MAK: good job logging all the BLTS. I'm curious, does it help to curb them? And yay for no fridge raiding.
arwaleenah: Resting I'm sure is the best way to speed up the recovery process so that you can be just as active. Sleep without guilt is a good sleep.0 -
Oh geez... so just declaring it doesn't make it so?! I have to come back and be accountable?! Yikes, that just makes so much sense!:bigsmile:Good idea, I'm going to try this!
My goals for this week-
1. Take a walk everyday, at least 30 mins.
2. No eating after 7pm.
3. Sleep 7+ hrs each night.
4. Keep tracking everything I eat.
5. Stay on track when out of town (Th-Su this week) Yikes!
I'm printing this out and hanging in kitchen for daily reminder!
Good luck everyone!
I've done so so... a sneak attack from sale Halloween cookies caused a slight problem Monday but took the rest to work yesterday so that's over! And I logged it to face it and be accountable.
I'm on track with the rest above, the dog and I drive 7 hrs tomorrow to visit my kids, hub is out hunting all week.
Hope everyone else is holding strong! Have a great day!:flowerforyou:0 -
I too have trouble with all that water! I use Crystal Light to help, only use 1/2 serving, just enough to give it some taste.I can do the food diary, the caloric restrictions & daily exercise but drinking 8 glasses of water a day is tough. Anyone have suggestions which might help me succeed at that? Thanks!
I also go by the belief that as long as you can 'read' thru your urine (light color) that you are getting enough water.
From Dr Oz-
How true is it that I should drink eight glasses of water a day?
This little ditty has been circulating since a 1945 guideline recommendation from the Nutrition Board of the National Research Council (NRC) read, "An ordinary standard for diverse persons is 1 milliliter for each calorie of food. Most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods."
For some reason the last sentence, which is really an important point, got cut from the story telling. Hence the 8, 8-ounce glasses of water a day rule persisted. What the board really meant was humans need 2.5 liters of fluid a day (assuming a 2500 calorie diet). But fluid comes from many sources, not just water alone, including other beverages such as coffee and from fruits, vegetables, yogurt and rice.
Healthy people at rest naturally maintain a water balance and what you don't use you excrete as urine. Still, if you consume too much water too quickly, you can get water toxicity, a potentially life-threatening situation where the kidneys just can't manage processing large quantities of fluid all at once.0 -
Hey all!
Tuesday Check-in
1. Water - Success! 112oz.
2. Workout - No. A little sore after my run Monday (since it's been 2 months since my last run). 1/5 this week.
3. Carbs - Big NO. I was so low on my calories Monday that I was ravenous all day, and only a 700cal. chocolate muffin could cure it! I also hit the snacks at home. Slapping my hand this morning and focusing on today.
Everyone - The encouragement here is awesome. What an amazing group of people It really helps me out, knowing I have to face you all in the morning to stick to it.
Stufie - I see your Elliptical posts on my news feed every morning! Keep up the good work
lttee -
for the car repairs. You're so close on fruit/veg each day (2/3), maybe trying something new or adding a veg as a salad topping, etc. would be a good way to get that extra serving?
philosohoe - Yay for Zumba! I just recently tried it, and love it!!! I have some background in dance, and I really miss it some days. It's a blast to get back to it when I can.
Grandma Meg - Keep it up. Don't hurt yourself anymore, and keep rocking it!!!
Today is a new day! Good luck everyone, and push hard to meet those mini goals!0 -
BAHAHHAHAHAHA! :laugh: thank you for the laugh! I hopped on quick to check in after I finished eating lunch and this made me laugh so hard.Grandma Meg - Keep it up. Don't hurt yourself anymore, and keep rocking it!!!0 -

MAK_01 Thanks you!!0 -
Evelyn: "just declaring it doesn't make it so?! I have to come back and be accountable?! Yikes, that just makes so much sense", so funny. Interesting tidbit on the water. Great on your goals, and getting rid of the cookies. Safe travels.
jljohnson: thank for the advice on how to add veggies/fruits. I don't eat salads often (dressing high in sodium most often), but heck just adding a salad would be a great start. I have the same issue you vented about when I don't eat enough the day before and then am ravenous and over eat. I can see the zig zagging of daily calories being great for just this reason.
jennyph: I hope you are the "good" sore. The weather has been lovely and I went to the park with my son today. Glad you enjoyed it also with a walk.
My check in:
Chalean, six times this week: 1.5/6. Absolute relaxing day in which I starting working out in between driving to two different schools to drop off kids (about 30-40 mins apart on schedules :grumble: ). Finished my workout after kids gone. No excuses today. Tomorrow I've grand plans of fitting in 20 mins of yoga in between again, before heading off to the gym for my friend/elliptical time.
3 fruits/veggies: 2/5 three, I planned my day the night before and it helped immensely :drinker:
Protein higher than fat: 2/5 even planning my day carefully, at dinner a few things were modified and I raised fat, lowered protein, and yet still just barely squeaked by with this goal thanks to my modifications. :blushing:
Don't let my anyone drag down my eating habits: 2/5 sweet sappy story time!!!
My husband woke me up in the middle of the night when he came home from work, and I sleepily rambled my whole eating plan for today. I named everything (I'm not sure why) I was going to consume. I really didn't think he was listening. I get up this morning about 15 minutes after he left for work and on the kitchen counter is all my breakfast stuff (even down to bowl and spoon). Aw, he was listening. And he's so supportive. What a great way to start my day!!0 -
TUESDAY CHECK IN:
1) Exercise 2/5
2) Logging Everything 2/7
3) No eating after 8pm 2/7
WEDNESDAY CHECK IN:
1) Exercise 2/5 - Hump day is rest day (maybe will get some humping done but wont log that :smooched: )
2) Log everything 3/7
3) No eating after 8pm 3/7 - Already had a nice dinner and not hungry at all, hopefully will stay that way.
Have a great rest of the week everyone!0 -
Hi all! Checking in for Tuesday and Wednesday:
1) 3 servings fruit/veg - 3/7 days so far
2) sodium/sugar - nope - I just can't seem to do anything about the sodium; maybe should take that off for now.
3) log every day - 3/7 days so far
4) bring lunch - didn't pack a lunch today; was too tired. had subway though - not too bad
Doing ok but I didn't sleep well the past couple nights (wasn't even the baby - it was just me) so I was soo tired today. Don't think I'm getting a workout in tonight either. :yawn:0 -
Happy Wednesday everyone! Early check in, going to spend some time with the hubs.
Aarwaleenah – Be careful with that injured knee!! I know what you mean I’ve been sleeping better when I’m not full when I go to sleep. Keep up the great work with the water.
Stufie – Yeah I didn’t see anything about the change to signatures either. Strange.
Ittee – A lot of with the BLTS I’m not hungry I’m eating cuz I’m bored, or worried, or emotional. So when I stop and think about it, or log it before I eat it I really think about do I need it, am I really hungry.
EvelynCouch – LOL! Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just write things down and that would make it so. Glad you checked back in. Have a safe drive tomorrow! Thanks for sharing the information on the water and the tip!
Jenna – Nice job with your Tuesday, keep working at it I know you can do it. Sorry to hear you were sore after the run. HMMM chocolate muffin sounds good. :laugh: still laughing over Grandma Meg. HAHAHAHA!
Jennyph2006 – Way to go! Glad you got in a second walk this week. Sorry to hear yoru sore from 30DS, good idea to take a rest day. Good luck incorporating more fruits and veggies in.
Ittee – The story about your husband was so sweet. What a great guy! If you are worried about the sodium you can try a little fresh lemon juice. Way to go with the planning ahead that really helps a lot doesn’t it. Sounds like you are doing an amzing job of fitting working out into your crazy schedule. Keep up all your hard work.
La_nanita – HAHAHA! Love your hump day comment too funny! Great job achieving your goals on Tuesday and Wednesday. Keep it up!
Bhurley1424 - Sorry to hear your so tired. I hope you can get in a good night’s sleep tonight. Keep working on your goals. I know you can do this.
Wednesday check in:
1. 6 am workouts of my choice – 3/6. Forgot to set my alarm so I didn’t get an AM work out in, but the first thing I did when I got home from work was got my workout in.
2. Be more aware of my food choices – Around 3:30 I started to get hungry and I got up and I was about to go and get a cookie or a piece of candy from the “treat cube” but I stopped myself sat back down and ate the yogurt I’d brought for my afternoon snack. I was pretty proud of that.
3. Log all extra BLTS (bites, licks, tastes, and sips) – All have been logged for today.
4. Water, water, water - more water less other beverages – did much better with my water intake today.
5. No eating after 8:00 pm – 3/7 No late night snacking yesterday. So far so good today, but it’s going to be tough… I’m craving sweet!0 -
Tried a new class at another Y location tonight. Aqua Zumba! Fun Got a cool Aqua Zumba bracelet and I'll get a cool t-shirt the same type after the 6 weeks trial. Guess they are trying it at one location to see how much interest they have. LOTS! Now we have to convince them to bring it to our regular Y for one of the 12pm classes. I snagged some water friends and we headed to the other Y to take a peek so we could get one started at our location. Hopefully we can do that..SOON!
What's awesome about water classes, joints don't get bothered in the same way like on land. I tried land and the particular class I was in was A LOT of quick knee turns... noticed it before the end of class. Maybe it was just that one class.. dunno. Would like to try it again though but I have heard from others to be careful if you have occasional knee pain that it might not be the class for you. Thus the aqua Zumba some of us tried tonight... it was quite fun. Just a bit different is all... you never feel like you're working hard in the water until you get out and begin the drive home. :laugh:
Weds. PM Check in
1. Paid attention to food choices, a bit more water needed before I head to bed
2. Fun workout as I shared above.
3. FOCUS....where oh where is my FOCUS... I'm impatient..:sad:
4. Hoping everyone is ready to have a Grand Thursday staying healthy and making good choices and remembering only one day left in the week after tomorrow!!:smooched:0 -
Wednesday night check in:
1) Three Zumba workouts 1/3
2) Three Elliptical workouts 1/3
3) One yoga workout .5/1 (counting this morning's 10 min as half like Ittee's ab burn)
4) NO MORE HALLOWEEN CANDY! 2/2!
MAK--thanks for keeping up with everyone's comments. I've been reading everyone's posts, but not lots of time to reply. Glad to know you are super-awesome-on-the-job-woman!
Ittee--See! I told you he listens, occasionally, and when he's held captive. LOL! Oh, and hunny, you can't lose The Jenn! The Jenn is inside you and all around you. Just breathe deeply, clear your mind, focus, and you will find that The Jenn is always with you, and she is probably making a sarcastic comment about comparing herself to The Force in the third person.
Great work with all the goals ladies! (or men masquerading as ladies in order to "fit in" to the coolest group on the block; hey we don't judge!) Hope everyone has a FANTASTIC Thursday. Catch you on the flipside!0 -
The Jenn is inside you and all around you. Just breathe deeply, clear your mind, focus, and you will find that The Jenn is always with you, and she is probably making a sarcastic comment about comparing herself to The Force in the third person.
Had me laughing first thing this morning. Love it and thanks. See you in little over a month. I'll be back for 3 weeks!0 -
I left my phone at home, so I'm quickly checking in before I get to work. But I have to say Philosohoe you had me cracking up referring to yourself like the force, TOO funny! :laugh: Thank you for the laugh. Have a great day all. I'll be checking back in tonight.0
-
Hey guys hoping you are having a great day. Are we going to create our own official group? have not read up on them but sounds like a good idea.0
-

2. Workout - check! Another 3 mile run outside. (2/5)
3. Carbs - check! Yay! I actually stuck to it, even though I wanted to snack after supper. (2/3)
Hearts Desire - Aqua Zumba sounds awesome! I used to go to water aerobics, and now that I've tried Zumba, I totally believe it would be a super fun class
I have a long work day today. Had to train with another department, so I came in at 6 instead of my normal 8am. I'm working my normal shift as well, so I hope I have the energy to workout tonight.
Have a great day, ladies!0 -

MAK_01 and Ittee Thanks you, for you support (*_*)0 -
My check in:
Chalean, six times this week: 1.5/6. Started out early morning great with some sexercise. Later, wanted to continue my small morning window of time, went to do quick 20 minute chalean yoga/recharge video and then hubby called me and needed his work phone immediately, so ran it over to him in between school drop offs.
3 fruits/veggies: 3/5 four, I planned my day the night before
Protein higher than fat: 2/5 even planning my day carefully, I quickly came to the dark side (Philosohoe you crack me up). They had brownies and pumpkin cheesecake after dinner. Oh, fat so won the day today!! And this was a 2000 calorie day. At under 5' tall, I should not EVER consume that many calories. :sad:
Don't let my anyone drag down my eating habits: 2/5 again, stupid dark side with its' desserts. Friend changed the dinner plan 3 times, so I logged each time I heard about the new change and adjusted as much as I could with snacks and whatever meals I hadn't eaten yet. And then she made desserts (2 different kinds) that I just had to try. Ugh, I'm so weak. And she's awesome, and a good cook.0 -
check in1. continue with 30ds
2. no heavy meal after 8pm
3.eat 2 fruits/day and snack on granola once/day
4. keep track of water intake, i think sometimes i dont get enough and confuse it for hunger
i wish i did my workouts in the morning as things always come up later in the day
am still not eating anything after 8pm except for fruits
am fine with 1 granola a day lets me have fruits the other times i need to snack
water intake is being tracked thus so far so good0 -
quick Thurs Check - in then off to bed.:yawn: (still trying to beat the cold deal)
1. interesting food day, feeling a bit stressed, can't wait to be completely well again as I'm sure it's making me more sensitive to things happening in life. Still getting my water in.
2. Good workout and then ran for an hour in the water
3. Recharging my Focus... gotta do that everyday to keep it going for myself.
)
4. You all are doing so well even with a few stumbles some days. We are a great group, highly motivating, kind and just plain all around warm and fuzzy, fun group!
Don't know why but something about moving over to the groups section makes me sad and feels strange thinking of it. I think I feel safe in our little group and of course we want it to grow, to help others.. But it feels cozy over here in the forums...maybe I'm just not used to the group deal yet. I'm not a facebook girl so not as familiar with some of these added features as much as someone using facebook would be. Maybe that's the reason? I feel like moving to the group section, we'll just be mushed in with everyone else. :sad:
I know I know my thoughts might not make sense to some, it's merely what I'm thinking at the moment, in a moment I may be thinking something else. :noway: :laugh:
Ohhhhhhhhhhh being sick sucks! Your head gets wobbly like the rest of you... I want a clear head again..and SOON! MAK how's your cold, you feeling any better?
Hugs to All!!:smooched: :flowerforyou:0 -
Happy Thursday!!
Hearts♥Desire – Aqua Zumba sounds like so much fun! And a cool bracelet to boot, NICE! You will have to keep us posted as to how the 6 week trial goes. Isn’t it great how you get such a great workout in the water! I hope you shake your cold soon and you aren’t feeling wobbly anymore soon! I am feeling better a little congested still but a hundred times better.
Philosohoe – Way to get your work out in and stay away from the Halloween candy. Keep it up. Tomorrow is your B-DAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
La_nanita – I’m not sure how groups work (honestly I don’t really know anything about them). I’m not sure if we are going to keep our group on the main forum, or add it as a group.
Jljohnson – Great job with your goals!! Nice job getting in another 3 mile run. AWESOME! Sounds like you’ve had long day, hope you were able to get workout in this evening.
Jennyph2006 – You are really doing great this week. 3 walk’s for the week, that’s great! Glad to hear the weather is holding out for you.
Ittee – sounds like you got in a nice workout this morning … wink wink. Heheheh. Nice job with the fruits and veggies keep it up. It’s ok to go to the dark side every now and then. You really can’t pass up home desserts!
Arwaleenah – Great work with the water, fruit and granola! Hope you are able to get you’re your 30DS tomorrow. Keep on working on those AM workouts.
Thursday check in:
1. 6 am workouts of my choice – 4/6. Had an early morning, had to get to work early, so morning workout didn’t happen, but as soon as I got home I took the dog and we went for a 50 minute walk/jog (of which almost 40 minutes of that was jogging). It felt great.
2. Be more aware of my food choices – Did OK today... A group of us went out for lunch at friday's. I had the never ending soup and salad lunch, had more salad then soup. Then for dinner met a friend for thai food. We split an appitizer and two entrees, had a little of both, but didn't over eat so I was happy with that.
3. Log all extra BLTS (bites, licks, tastes, and sips) – did ok on this, could have done better.
4. Water, water, water - more water less other beverages – Drank lots of water today. A little tea, but pretty happy with this one.
5. No eating after 8:00 pm – 4/7 No snacks yesterday! I should be good tonight, not hungry and heading to bed soon.0
