Big Blue Team WEEK 1

Ugh I'm so angry at myself right now!!!

I went to do Plyo tonight and everytime, I'm like this is going to be the time I make it the whole way through. Without fail though I stop at around 20min every time!!! I have some sort of mental block about it! Like after 20min, my brain flips to 'better than nothing mode' and I stop. All the other hour long ones I'm fine with...theres just something about Plyo!! AHHHHHH!!!!! :sad:

Plyo is tough Rach. It helps if you make a chart with all the exercises and put a check by it when your done. Keeps you going. Also have some carb drink or sports drink during it. Set your goal for 5 min more each time even. You'll get there...:drinker:

Goodness me.....already emailed Rach this but just got to tell all to motivate me!

The moment of truth finally dawned last night, took the plunge and weighed. Not good! shocker!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh that will teach me!!!

I have not weighed for over 6 weeks been treading it! went to 3 weddings in 5 weeks!!!

This is it - got to finally reach that goal. Easier said I know.

Thanks for setting all this up Rach.
ps: managed 8 glasses of water yesterday. All I need now is a loo in my bedroom!

I'm in for the challenges, not sure i'll hit the water challenge though, but count me in for the rest:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

weight is 211.8

I'm in for the staying within calorie limits with no cheating! I know that cheating is why I haven't lost any weight in a month and in fact keep gaining pounds back and have to work at losing them instead of losing new weight! I have been working on not cheating and being completely honest with my food diary this week, and have been doing well so far. It's going to be hard over the weekend because dh and I are traveling Fri-Sat and will be eating out for a few meals. Hard to plan that in advance and I won't have computer access while away, so I am going to have to guess. Have a great day, all! Kathy

My start weight this week is 251...up 1 from last week, but my motivation has sucked. I think that a water challenge is an a great idea, but just so everyone doesn't freak out, water weighs about 8lbs per gallon which means that if you drink one 8oz glass of water, you have just automatically added 1/2 of a lb. So, over the course of the day, if you are drinking eight 8oz glasses of water, you could possibly put on 2-4 lbs of pure water. The good news is that it will all go away. Part of the problem is that most people don't get enough fluids to begin with, so ALL the fluids they take in are retained...which makes you heavier. The more water you drink, the less water you will retain. I usually drink anywhere from 1 to 1.5 gallons of water per day. I can definitely tell if I am dehydrated because I will gain a couple of lbs for the next couple of days and then when my water intake is back to normal, I will loose the pounds again. The water will make you gain a little weight, but in the long run, you will loose weight because you won't be dehydrated any more and you will flush a lot of the garbage out of your system. Hope everyone has a great day and yes, you will spend more time in the bathroom.

Im so upset!! For the last few days I have NOT went over my cals.. I have been a little under each time. I have been drinking over 3 litres of water a day.. I have been exercising almost everyday.. and my weight either remains the same or goes up!! :devil:
