Feb 27 Green- Yes 22/23 (I can do this!) Blue-Yes 26/27 Did yoga after work. Later my friend invited me to the pool to swim laps, so did that for 30 minutes which left me in the green by over 100 even though there was a potluck lunch at work today.

Feb 26 Green- No 21/23 Blue-Yes 25/28 Need to be green the next two days to make my green goal.

Feb 24 Green- only with Chevy's help Total 20/23 Blue- No! :cry: Total 23/24 Feb 25 Green- YEs 21/23 BLue-Yes 24/25 I fell asleep at 8:30pm on Monday night before I got all my water in.

Catching up after a busy weekend with some unexpected events that put my resolve to the test. Fri Feb 21 Green-Yes (18/23) Blue-Yes (21/28) Sat Feb 22 Green- No (but this was a planned red day due to a wedding reception) Blue-Yes Sun Feb 23 Green- Yes (day is not over, but I worked out and have dinner planned and I will…

Feb 20 Green-Yes 17/23 Blue-Yes 20/28 Yoga after work. So glad tomorrow is Friday!

Feb 19 Green- Yes 15/23 Blue-Yes 19/28 Went to the gym today but was crunched for time so did an abbreviated version of the weight workout that I did Monday (did 1 set of each exercise instead of 3, but I did increase the weight), and only a short run. Better than nothing though! @kawookie- thanks for the update on your…

Feb 18 Green- Yes 15/23 Blue-Yes 18/18 Planned to work out today but my legs are quite sore from my weight work-out yesterday, so decided to make it a rest day. Had to limit my dessert to half a square of Lindt 85% and the tiniest shmear of peanut butter to stay under.

Feb 17 Green-Yes 14/23 Blue-Yes 17/28 Ventured into the free weights section of the gym for the first time armed with my iphone app that told me what to do in such a place. It was not as intimidating as I'd feared and I feel like I actually had a pretty good workout. @kawookie: So glad to hear the news about your dad!!

For about 6 months I have been doing a "group power" (aka bodypump) class at my gym (strength class that involves barbells with different weighted plates and bodyweight exercises set to music with an instructor). I have also used the machines at my gym. I have wanted to use the free weights and target the areas that I most…

Feb 15 Green- No 12/23 Blue-Yes 15/28 Feb 16 Green- Yes, using 98 of Chevy's 100 13/23 Blue-Yes 16/28 Dinner party Saturday evening threw me off. I have managed to keep up with exercise, so mitigated some of the damage.

Feb 14 Green- No, quite red I imagine! 12/14 Blue-Yes 14/28 I did not track dinner. It was a planned red day since I knew we'd be going out and it was wonderful: crab and macadamia stuffed halibut with some sort of buttery sauce (beurre blanc?). We split it, but also split a beef tips appetizer, caesar salad, and dessert.…

Feb 13 Green- Yes (had to use the Chevy rule for the first time in awhile) Total- 12/23 Blue-Yes (after I finish the big glass of water that is sitting in front of me right now) Total- 13/28 Long day.... made it to yoga and now a hot bath and bed. That will also keep me out of the kitchen.

Feb 12 Green- Yes 11/23 Blue-Yes 12/28 I logged my dessert before eating it. I was surprised it put me over, so I wound up splitting it into thirds. 1/3 for tonight, a bit more tomorrow.when maybe I won't have had so much cheese. Power class tonight felt good. @Kawookie- still keeping you and your dad in my thoughts.…

Feb 11 Green- Yes 10/23 Blue-Yes 11/28 Yoga this afternoon. After a very long day at work, it was what I needed.

Feb 10 Green-Yes 9/23 Blue-Yes 10/28 Treadmill for 35 min (including warm up & cool down; 28 min of actual running with a few 30-sec breaks) @kawookie- Thinking of you and your dad and praying all goes very well tomorrow.

Feb 9 Green-Yes 8/23 Blue-Yes 9/28 Did not make it to the gym as planned, but did stay under regardless. Yummy dinner of salmon (caught by my daughter last summer), roasted cauliflower, and spinach. That helped me stay green. Have a great week everyone!

Feb 8 Green- Yes 7/23 Blue-Yes, very 8/28 4.6 miles on the treadmill, 4.2 of that running.

Feb 7 Green-Yes 6/23 Blue-Yes 7/28 Quarter of the way through this month already! Made it to Group Power despite both my sig other and my daughter backing out of going with me. It would have been easy to also not go, but I went and it was such a good class. Increased weight for all muscle groups.

Feb 6 Green- Yes Total/Goal- 5/23 Blue-Yes Total/Goal 6/28 Did yoga today. Needed that! @Kawookie: Thinking about you and hoping your dad is doing okay.

Feb 5 Green- Yes, with extra Total/Goal- 4/23 Blue-Yes 5/5 Back on track. Kickbox Boot Camp again this week.

Feb 4 Green- Big fat no! Almost ate an entire day's worth at dinner plus everything I ate during the day. Total/Goal- 3/23 Water- Blue-Yes 4/28 I expected red, but didn't expect to be as red I was (1300 OVER!!). Lovely dinner, but some emotional eating earlier in the day. Also, I had intended to go to the gym before work,…

Feb 3 Green: Yes (as long as we are still using the Chevy clause) Total/Goal: 3/23 Blue: yes Total/Goal: 3/28 Tomorrow is a planned red day. I don't really "plan" to be red, but it is a day that if I do go red, it is okay and factored into my overall budget. Having dinner at an Italian restaurant with friends. I am gong to…

Feb 2 Green Y Total 2 of 23 Water- Blue/yes 2 of 28 @queenie:"Race" may be a bit of a misnomer. My friend who convinced me to enter assured me that it was all for fun and that we could go as slow as needed. (She also works for an orthopedist, so I figured if I hurt myself she'd get me in to the doc quickly ;-) ). It was…

Date: Feb 1 Green: Yes Total 1/Goal: 23 Water: Yes Total/Goal: 28 days Water: I am aiming to take in at least 8 glasses (64 oz) on non-workout days and 100 oz on workout days. Made it to the gym and did 35 min run plus short warm-up and cool down. I am entered in a xc ski race (for fun) tomorrow. I haven't been on skies in…

I am going to go for 23 again. This is a shorter month, so that is upping the challenge. I know of 3 days which will likely be Red that I want to plan for (Monthly restaurant dinner with friends on the 4th, Valentine's Day, and a wedding reception). That will give me 2 buffer days. I have never tracked water, but I do…

Yes! I hope it is warm out that day though.

I have a friend who has been quite pleased with her trainer at the Alaska Club. It is expensive, but they let you share trainers/sessions (apparently) and she shares it with her daughter and son-in-law, so the cost is split.

Hi there, I have been running for about 2.5 years now after doing C25K. When I started that I was a complete non-runner. I did my first half-marathon after about a year of starting running. As far as your questions: 1. What are the best shoes under $100 to run in? I have New Balances and my feet hurt so bad afterwards! I…

As far as eating is concerned, this one that I heard long ago at weight watchers has stuck with me: "If the problem isn't hunger, then the solution isn't food" (or something to that effect)

I don't know if you are on the right track, but I am close to where you are. I am 5'5 and recently upped calorie goal from 1200 to 1400. I also went from primarily running to cardio+strength. I have not lost weight, but I haven't gained either and I usually eat my exercise calories. I am currently at 139 (up appx 5-7…
