Okay guys -

List three things you did right for yourself in the last 24 hours. I'll start it off:

1) dusted off my Wii, to begin physical activity;
2) logged my food (although it was bad choices);
3) drank sugar free/fat free liquid, instead of soda or coffee;

    1.) I worked out more than 30 minutes.
    2.) I ate only healthy foods.
    3.) I cut back on creamer AND coffee.
  • 1. Drank nothing but water. (it's amazing how many calories are in various drinks... and I don't need caffeine/alcohol anyway) (nod)
    2. Told my boss that if he wants morning doughnuts, to send someone else, cause if I go to the bakery, I *WILL* find something there that I have to eat. :/
    3. joined this group :happy:

    Hey people -

    That's pretty good - abstaining from soda is HUGE and fitting exercise in a day is also quite a feat, especially if you work full time.

    Congratulations guys, good start! Keep it going!

    ps See if we can recruit more people to our group, as if 100 people join, we may get possibly ten or fifteen people who may actually have the time to contribute!!!

    Mellie and I are working on setting up the challenge, so again, any ideas - please post them!!

    Laughed out loud at the yuk comment for drinking the water!!!

    Hi guys, and welcome to the group - please post as much as you want and anything you want!

    The more ideas the better our group will be.

    Recruit friends too because if we reach 100 people, you know only a handful of us will actively participate on a daily basis, on any given day, so we need #'s to be as active as I hope we'll be!

    Good luck and keep moving forward, as Louis says!

    1.did 90 minutes of zumba 2 for wii
    2.complimented myself on how i like my legs
    3.took all(what seems like 100) seizures pills for the day on time.
  • Roxy: your "took only stairs" comment reminds me of when I made the decision that I would do that, to help get exercise. Later that week, I had a meeting on the 17th floor of a high-rise, and the only parking was in the 4th sub-level.

    I arrived at the meeting (suit and tie, plus 22 flights of stairs later) gasping for breath, and sweating like a pig. They sent me home, thinking I was ill (and I didn't have the breath to argue with em)... that was the end of that vow. :P

    Just a thought -

    I used to buy the Crystal Light stuff but it got really expensive, so my husband switched to the Safeway brand pink lemonade. I looked at the label, and thought they were pretty close to each other - no sugar in either of them and only 5 calories for the Safeway brand.

    It's sort of like OTC medicine - brand name vs store brand. Same ingredients, but you're paying for the name brand about 5x more.

    I can't taste the difference.

    1) Played DDR until I met my 300 Calorie goal
    2) Measured myself to find that I had lost 1inch most places and 2 in my waist even though I haven't seen any changes on the scale.
    3) Did my push up and sit up routine by myself without my bf encouraging me to do "just a couple more"

    1) Took my vitamins
    2) Drank over 8 cups of water
    3) Completed my food journal
  • I stayed under my calorie goal
    I regualrly logged onto MFP for support
    I walked to and from work (60 mins) even though I was tempted to take the bus :)
  • 1. Staying on track to complete the 30 Day Challenge on my Wii EA Sports program. Even though... the running is my most unfavorite thing to do, ever... I did it anyway.

    2. Packed healthy snacks (oranges, nuts, string cheese) for an outing, since I knew it was going to be that or fast food.

    3. Found little ways to add movement during the day: walking in place in the kitchen while waiting for tea water to boil, wall push-ups here and there, leg lifts while I was reading a recipe... you get the idea. The funny thing was, my husband noticed, and he looked puzzled and asked, "Feeling a little bouncy today?" But the cool thing is, I DO feel bouncy. I definitely have more energy than I did a week ago.
