For this week's Mini Challenge: Water: Not a problem most days, but there were a couple busy days at work that I hardly had time to reach for the water bottle. Stairs: Not sure, I should've counted the stairs at my house. Been making extra trips to the basement and at lunch going to the train station and walking their…

Bootcamp! Good, I'm gonna need some major butt kicking!! September hasn't been such a hot month for me. Gotta get my gears in motion again!

Stairs!! I can totally work with this...now to figure out who to talk to at work so I can stop getting locked in the stairwell! I work on the 16th floor and found out one day that my badge doesn't give me access to any other floor...not even the cafeteria. Grrr. But this does give me the push to try out the nifty stair…

These are awesome ideas! Great ways to change it up. I'm totally looking forward to keeping up with this group through the next month(s). As far as this week goes, trying to keep up with the water intake. Falling behind a couple days since it's so crazy at work that I hardly have time to reach for my water bottle next to…

bump!

Just as my grandma taught me! lol. I tried using an actual tea pot, but my roommate used it more for her soup then I did for tea. It broke in less than a year. Back to the microwave for me! :smile:

Oh dear...I've heard stories of the trials and tribulations of becoming a pastry chef from my boyfriend. His mother was a pastry chef and he has all her recipe notes. I felt like I gained 10 pounds just reading the recipes! But man did they sound delicious. :smile:

Oooh...that sounds delicious! Thanks for all the options everyone. I thought about zucchini bread, but thought there might be a bit too much zucchini...didn't know what else I could do. My sister had marinated one of hers in some sort of mixture and threw it on the grill, but it was a little too sweet for me. Thought I'd…

Sounds delicious!

I did not know purple bell peppers existed... Learn something new every day! =) I'd assume you can use the bell peppers as the veggie portion for any recipe that calls for veggies. They might go good with this chicken recipe I found online. Made it a few times already, may need to try it with bell peppers now! =D…

Awesome!! Thanks for posting the challenge early. I know it hasn't been such a great week for me with things popping up left and right, but this next mini challenge with the 500 cal a day is a good motivator for me to get back on track...gotta get my butt back to the gym!! =)

About to head to work, but will get the 5 minutes in when I get home and report back!

Oh boy...this is where most of my sodium comes in. Unfortunately, with being on a very tight budget, it's much easier to buy a tub of lunch meat and stretch it over two weeks for my lunches. I'd love to have a healthier lunch, but it gets pretty costly. :frown:

260 done! Kept loosing balance. Gotta work on that. lol

Bump...I have zero experience with fish, but would like to see what others say. All I know is fish sticks. =P

I'll give them a shot. Never done these before and can see myself losing balance left and right. lol. But will report back later with results! =)

WTG!! This is something that makes you, as you should be, very proud of yourself! Therefore, it is not such a small NSV. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! :happy:

Oh, my butt hurts just thinking of my one spin class...Years and years ago. LOL. I should probably give it another try since I'm more active now than I was back then.

3. Think about (and share if you feel comfortable) what got you to where you are today. Why did you let yourself go? What was your awakening moment when you knew something had to change? What situations trigger you to not make healthy decisions and how can you control those situations? Life happens, and sometimes we need…

I'd use the Sunday weigh-in for both. No point stressing yourself out with a one day difference. Good luck!!

360 done! My calves feel like rocks right now. lol

Right?!! Is this going to stay one big group, or break down into teams like last month? That's a lot of people! :noway:

I'm on the list and all is correct for me. Looking forward to an awesome September!! (at least for working out and trimming down! lol)

No sweat! I tend to do these when I'm board standing around for the bus to/from work anyways. lol. I'll even get them done on the stairs when I get home. =)

Congratulations!!! Keep up the great work! :flowerforyou:

Count me in!! Can't wait to see the first week of challenges! =D

Success!!! All 300 are now complete! =D

I'm gonna get them all in this time!!!

200 Done!! Even with my creaky knees! lol

I'll be giving it a go!
