I think it would be interesting for others to post how you fix extra movement into your day. It may give ideas and inspiration to others to up their activity level. For example this past Saturday my day was booked solid with running errands and going to events. I had to go to at least 6 stores at various locations to pick up items. I did not have time for a regular exercise session but I got quite a bit of walking in just by parking at the far end of the parking lot. At the mall I parked at the oposite side of the mall from where I needed to be. It gave me some extra movement when I did not have time for an hour of gym time.

Another favorite is to get up and do push ups or sit up during commericial breaks if I am watching tv.

What do you do?

Good morning everyone! I'm so happy.... after going up two pounds to 160 last week after Easter, I stepped on the scale this morning and I'm down to 157!!! I feel so good I think I'll go work out!

I'm on track to make it. I've lost almost 4 lbs since last week.

Very discouraged today. I have been "off track" for quite awhile now, not really gaining weight but not losing either. I embarked on this 90 day challenge as a way to kick start my weight loss back up. This past week has been good. Exercising, eating within my calories, drinking tons of water. Yes, I went over my calories a few days, and yes, Saturday was bad, but nothing was outrageous enough to explain a 4 pound gain on the scale this morning! I started this challenge at 270, hit 268.5 midweek, and this morning tipped the scale at 274. That is physiologically impossible from my journals of the past week.

I am hoping that Saturday's restaurant food just contained a lot of sodium and that I am retaining water, so I have been chugging water today and plan to recheck my weight tomorrow. I really don't know what the deal is, but something has got to give.

Well I blew it!!! I was on a roll and by Friday was down 2.2 lbs. Then over the weekend, we had the slumber party, pizza, chocolate chip cookie cake (I made w/homemade icing) along with cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing and more. I totally discovered this weekend that I eat when there's a lack of sleep and a lot of stress. So, this morning I weighed in and had gained .6 from last Monday. I just kicked myself all day long and topped it off with 2 margaritas tonight at dinner. My hands are swolen from all the salt now and I'm really feeling it. I'm back on track tomorrow and hope that I can manage sleep and stress in a different way this week. That's my goal. Congrats to all those with successful weigh ins for the first week!!!

Goingforgoal you sound like what happened to me on Saturday... I went to visit my best friend and they have the best pizzeria near her house so we ate pizza and I had 2 sicilian squares and then a chocolate italian icy. After that we walked around to some stores to get "some" :laugh: exercise in. Later that night I was eyeing the cheesecake she had in her frig and the next thing you know I was eating a big piece :sad: ... after that her husband bad us an alchoholic beverage that was very sweet but very good . I think I ate almost 2500 calories that NIGHT! So I didn't beat my self up because I still had Sunday and did cardio for 1 hr and 30 minutes along with 30 minutes of weight training and boy did that help!!! I didn't lose alot but 2.2lbs made me happy.....

Just note we are going to have those days or weekends that we don't eat as healthy as we should and it's ok, you have to learn portion control... this is a new week, keep focused and you will do just fine! :flowerforyou:
