    On task, for the most part.

    Weighed twice last week Thurs. and Sat. with no decrease. Thurs. was higher than I thought so of course not going down on Saturday was a mental bummer,

    I'm not going to weigh again until Sat.

    Did fairly well yesterday considering my daughter had a marathon volleyball tournament, it was a Sunday, and I was bummed that i'm not lower. When i have a loss, it makes my will stronger to say no. i don't have to fight it as much.

    i didn't do great, but as someone said on this thread as a goal, i wasn't a moron.

    Struggling to get back on schedule since Sunday completely threw me off. Didn't meet most of my goals yesterday and haven't worked out yet today (felt like sleeping in till 5:30am and then had a 2.5 hour lunch meeting). Going to push myself to workout tonight to make up for it, but no promises.

    Happy Singles Awareness Day to everyone and good luck with your goals.... remember... NO Excuses! :wink:

    I'm still here too. Have had a head cold for the past few days so went over calories most days but back on track from today (I know, no excuses!!). Don't feel that great after pigging out so will have to remember in future! Well done everyone x

    i'm still on track. not going to weigh in until saturday.
    going to pilates in a few.

    where is everyone??
    so many people signed up for this challenge and so few are posting. :(

    maybe everyone's just doing it on their own.

    have a great wednesday.

    things are going well for me. water intake is great, mostly 8 glasses/dy, had a couple 10 or 12 glass days thrown in there. having fruit or veg 2-3x/dy. Worked out 2x last week, 1x so far this week- goal is 3. As for the pushups and abs, my abs are up to 4 sets of 50, started at 4 sets of 30. I upped the pushups and am maintaining 2 sets of 30, but took yesterday morning and the previous night off of calisthenics; the sets of pushups were getting harder, might have been too much at once (I've done them both 2x/dy, daily). at any rate, that worked out and I felt better today with both exercises. 155.2 lbs on 2/11, weighed in at 154.2 lbs on 2/14.

    i was down 2.4 saturday. i was happy about that. my bday is the 4th so if i could be down another 3lbs i'd be thrilled.
    following my goals pretty well, except on friday had a battle with a box of 100 calorie almonds on the hour ride downtown to pick up my son from his volleyball practice. good intentions, i.e. the 100 calorie individual packages, but not pretty results. let's just say the box won.

    ok, i was a moron last night, which is a goal i stole from someone in the challenge and mentally added it to my goals.

    i was in bed, 10:30, only 130 cals over. it had been a tough night fighting the food. can't tell you exactly why, had an unplanned sleepover sprung on me at 4:30 pm which involved 3 11 yr old girls(including my dd). not a big deal. we have the room, i ordered a pizza, played some scattegories with them, lots of giggling, some hide and seek. no big deal. so what through me off?? i was at peace in the late afternoon, started having my dinner stuff, and didn't want to stop. if i think back on it, it probably did start soon after the phone call from a 5 hour team party an hour south of our house.

    i know i don't like surprises, plans to be changed, etc., but really????? it was not a big deal.

    anyway, back to first sentence. got out of bed to get 2nd small bowl of raw almonds, THEN got out again, to mix my 3rd bowl of the night of fage + carbmaster yogurt+T Hershey unsweetened cocoa+T of natural pb. the other 2 bowls of this were included in my calorie count, which was why i was over 130cals.

    Unfortunately the 2 small bowls of almonds and yogurt combo was not.

    IT WAS 10:3O. ALL I HAD TO DO WAS TURN OFF THE BACHELOR, which is a train wreck anyway, TURN ON JOEL OSTEIN, much better message, AND PRAY.

    Oh and by the way, Joel's message on my tevo from Sunday was the pain of self=discipline is temporary.

    UGH!!!!

    just wanted to check in, can't believe it's been almost a month! water intake is great, having fruit or veg with 2 meals a day, I am down to 150.8, I think 1 or 2 pounds less than when I last posted. I would measure but of course I only think about it directly after I work out (I just finished crunches/pushups) and I want to get everything when it's relaxed.

    KEEP IT UP, EVERYONE!!!! :happy:
