Green Team - Week 2

what's the challenge this week? did i miss it?
I weighed in at 160.4, a little less than a pound down. a tad discouraging, but i have to remember that my body really doesn't want me to get rid of these last 10. but i will!

Sorry I was MIA yesterday. I got the day off work last minute and went on a field trip to the zoo with my son. When I got home I was just exhausted and we still had t-ball to go to. The other little boy that was in our group was just a mean little bully that didn't listen to anything I said. He then picked a fight with this girl that was in his class and she kicked his butt and he ended up wth a bloody lip before I could break the fight up. I will tell you this really gave me a new appreciation for what teaches deal with everyday and a whole new appreciation for my own son. I have been frustrated with some of his actions lately and being with this other little boy totally put things in perspective and I realized how great my son is. He listens to me and respects what I say, He doens't run off like a rageing maniac and he has never pushed people out of the way so he can see something. I realized I really do have a great kid. after reflecting on yesterday I really do feel bad for this little boy. thinking about alot of his actions I don't think his home is as loving and caring as many others are. I think his life lacks alot of hugs and disipline.

Weigh in for me wasn't that great today but I think I am reataining alot of water from yesterday. I am up 2 lbs to 215.4.

This weeks challenge will be easy for some and I am sorry if this doesn't challenge you but I am really struggleing with this and I think some others may too. This week the challenge is to get your water in.

I will do my best to check in and try and motivate you all. Tomorrow I will be gone most of the day but I will check in tomorrow night. Good luck with this weeks challenge. Also feel free to continue with last weeks challenge and get your fruit in. There are so many great benefits of eating fruit and I know that I do really well with the challenges but once they are over I start to slack in those areas. Well thank you all for reading my rant about the fieldtrip and GOOD LUCK this week.

Looks like everyone has had a great week so far. I'm excited to see some more numbers come in.

missheidi~ Those last 10 lbs people say are always the hardest to get off. Just stick with your program and they will come off.

jacque509~3.4 lb loss that is awesome. oh and I had 2-3 servings of fruit all the days except one.

kitn621~WTG on the 1lb loss.

Down to 164 lbs this week, so I lost 1 lb so far!

I am down 3 lbs, 253

:grumble: FOrgot i had my fruit today a banana and juice and will have my usual apple this afternon

Hello....I am 164 this week...1 pound down.....yah!

166.0 for me!

ok, so do the challenges build on each other? like, for this week, get your fruit AND your water? seems logical to me.
I am going to do the initial test for the squats, pushups and situps tonight. this is my last day subbing (woohoo for summer!) so i want to do those three programs while i am "off." off being i still have my own two kids and i'm taking 9 hours this summer. but still...

The challenges don't build on eachother. Each week it is something new. Personally I try and keep going with the challenges. Expecially the food and water ones. To try and improve my lifestyle.

I also will be attempting to do all three at the same time.

I started yesterday so I'm weighing in at my starting weight of 138 lbs. - looking forward to saying goodbye to some of that next week

Welocme Purple light! Yep you can count it.

Hey all,
It's Friday and my biggist personel challenge is going to be tonight. In our house Friday night is taco night!! I love my homemade Taco's. If I could I eat them everynight, I would. I normally eat 5 and put lots of cheese on them. So how do I still enjoy them, well I decided that I will measure the cheese,so that should cut some caloreis. Also maybe if I have maybe only 2-3 shells that would help. But because I only have red meat, next time I go to the store I am gonna buy ground turkey. Well Just wanted to write this down so I will feel more obligatoed to do what I say. Sorry if I bored anyone.
Good job everyone with the challenge an dweight loss

Hey Jacque! You didn't bore me, I love me a homemade taco too!!!! BF usually takes one shell, and makes a salad out of the rest of the fixings. You've earned a good taco enjoy it the way you want - remember calorie zig zagging really does work.

HAHA, Just been figuring out the calories and what exercise I need to do. Thanks Porka, I'm glade somebody understand, You would think chips or chocolate would be an issue not tacos
Well go to get back to work, lunch break over, Plan to have salad with chicken for lunch, but forgot the chicken, so it was just salad.

Actually Jacque it was nice to realize the world isn't sitting on my shoulders. Was feeling a little down in the dumps today...............it has rained all week, my pool cover blew off and ripped down the middle (now it's raining in the pool :grumble: ) and our new patio furniture blew over and messed up the umbrella on the unfinished half tiled patio my bf hasn't finished - did I mention that the rest of the yard is covered in an endless supply of mangos? Allright, I guess my rant is over - oh did I mention that I'm up two lbs this week?:laugh: :laugh:

Thanks to you and everyone else for listening, I sure have been a bit sappy the last three days!

What is calorie zig zagging???

that is where you mix it up and every now and then you indulge into a lil bit of things you wouldnt let yourself and maybe go over your calories. If you do this just once every few weeks or so it helps to through your body for a loop and has shown to help people get over their plateaus when they get there.
