I didn't get my workout video in yesterday, but I did stay under calories and got close to my 10,000 steps. I am down a couple of pounds as well, so I'll take it! I'm excited for Sunday's weigh in; although I put my numbers in already I will update Sunday if the # is lower. ;) Goals for today: Get my calories Run C25K At…

I am back on track almost 100% after dealing with the kiddo's health issues. Not excited that I fell off the bandwagon, but I'm trying to remind myself I'm back on & that's the important part. Goals for today: Hit my calories Workout video Get my water goal

I finally logged a full day again, so I'll take that as a win. Although I didn't make progress toward my weight goal for the weigh in (sorry that was a bit late!), I didn't gain either. Another win considering everything that's been happening. My goals: 1) Continue to log, as that seems to be one of the most challenging…

My goals for today are pretty menial: to log my food, and to get 10,000 steps. It's been a rough few weeks with continued issues with my stepson. My little win for today will be logging all of my food. :)

I've been struggling for the past week with the kiddo in the hospital, but yesterday I reached my 10,000 step goal. I will weigh in tomorrow morning (I usually weigh in first thing in the am & forgot today), and log my weight in the spreadsheet then. Back on track. Let's do this!

Just finished week 6. I still don't "enjoy" running, but I do enjoy the weight loss I'm seeing. Feel free to add me! :)

Gained 1 lb since the last weigh in, but I know precisely why. Too much stress, too much gin, and not enough activity. Back on track after the weekend, though. Even got my run in yesterday! My goals for today: Drink at least 12 glasses of water Eat enough, and eat healthy Get 10,000 steps

Yesterday was ok for me. I didn't get week 6, run 2 of C25K in last night, but I also started week 6 a day early. I will get my run in tonight as I do not work both jobs. My other goals for the day: Get my calories, but stay within carbs. Reach 10,000 steps, with 5,000 before I leave work this evening Get my water (at…

Bring on Day 16! My goal is to get C25K week 6, run 2 in. It's been a hell of a week with behavioral problems with the kiddo. I have to work both jobs, so I'm going to be exhausted at the end of the day, and I'm not a morning person so I'm not sure I'll be able to get up early enough to get the run in before my day begins.…

Today was tough due to issues with kiddo. I did fine on calories, but I didn't get my steps in. This is only the second or third day I haven't met my goals, so I'm trying not to be too hard on myself. Bring on day 15!

I didn't check in with the group over the weekend, but I did log all of my food. Today was supposed to be a rest day, but I did week 6, run 1 of C25K. Feeling great. I've already reached my steps for the day too. Patiently awaiting the post for Tuesday's goals, so I can get them down.

I struggle with not eating enough on weekends, so my biggest goal for today is to exceed 1000 calories. Started with a decent breakfast even though we went out to eat. I have my mini-meals & snacks planned for the rest of the day since I have to work the retail job. I will get my run in today, C25K week 5 run 3, as I'm…

Day 10 went well considering how many obstacles I encountered (issues with the kiddo in school, sick puppy, crazy day at work, and lots of little things that went wrong drove me crazy). Stayed well within my calories, and I got week 5, run 2 of C25K in this evening. Weigh in went well this morning too! Goals for Day 11:…

My weigh in will be tomorrow morning, but I'm finding a great deal of accountability in writing down my goals the night before. I am still approx 700 steps from 10,000, and I am ok with not making it all the way as I got up this morning to do a workout video. My goals for 10/2, besides the weigh in: Run C25K week 5, run 2…

Met my goals yesterday -- C25K week 5, run 1 wasn't as bad as I remember it being a few months ago, so that's a win. My goals for today: Get a morning work out video in - check Get 10,000 steps Continue to eat fairly "clean," which is almost a check because I cooked food for the next few days last night. :) Way to go…

Yesterday I didn't make my steps or get my workout video in, but I did stay within my calories & get all of my water so I'll call it an overall win. This evening I will do week 5, day 1 of C25K, so I will have no problem getting my 10,000 steps for the days. I will get 5,000 steps before I leave work. Stay within my…

Got my 10,000 steps in for Day 6! I didn't do so great in getting my calories throughout the day, and I felt a little pressure to snack on some more dinner after dinner so I wasn't too far below. I know everyone's goal is to remain below calories, and most days that is mine as well. However, weekends always catch me off…

After a late check in for day 5, here's to planning for day 6! I DID get my run in. I think the fact that I've written here in front of people is a great accountability tool. I work the retail job tomorrow, so getting my 10,000 steps shouldn't be a problem. My biggest goals for tomorrow are: Eat enough calories. Plan:…

Weekends are always hard for me. I always eat too much, or not enough. Today was not nearly enough, and I still need to get a run in. I also fell way behind with my water goal earlier today, so I've been pretty much chugging water since 4 pm. Should make for an interesting evening. My goals for the remainder of the day:…

It's 10 pm on Day 3 in MT. I am SO tired, but I am going to get my run in in just a few minutes. Excited to see what 10/2 bring! My goals for day 4: Stay on track with eating -- although I am splurging on sushi for lunch Get my 10,000 steps, which is going to be challenge since Friday's are usually slow at work. Friday…

FINALLY ADDED MY STUFF!

Met my goals yesterday, even though I was called in to the retail job because someone was sick. I was dead tired when I finally got home from an 11 hr work day between the two jobs, but I still took the fur babies for their mile walk. Since I couldn't do dinner before going into the other job I snacked on almonds…

I told someone on Sunday that I just took my last "before" picture. I'm working hard on lifestyle changes -- getting more active (C25K, walking the pups on off days, and AdvoCare's Can You 24? workout series), eating "cleaner," and eating fewer calories, in general. I'm doing a 10-day cleanse right now (I am eating, I…

Went a little over (200) on calories yesterday, but it was mostly good eating even when the parents invited me out to dinner. I got my run/walk (C25K, went back to week 4 to re-focus) in, and I kept to my cleanse plans. Day 2 goals: - Get 10,000 steps - Eat well -- this one is going to be hard because I didn't plan my…

Although it's almost dinner time here in MT, my goals for the day (and the next 99) are: Eat clean and healthy. Not a HUGE calorie counter, but I know there's value in watching them. Run 3-4 days/week -- C25K. Tonight is one of those 3-4 days of running. Get my 10,000 steps Celebrate little wins, positive self-talk…

Hi, I'm Kayla, and I live in Billings, MT. My goal is to lose 20-30 lbs by 2015. I just started the AdvoCare Herbal Cleanse yesterday, and I'm doing C25K. Once I finish that I will start 5K to 10K. My goal (another goal) is to run a half-marathon in 1-2 years. Lots of clean eating (little sugar, as little processed food as…

I'm doing C25K as well, and I love it. I hate running, but I want to run a half-marathon. I've had to take the past 12 days off due to a back injury, but I went out last night, and I only had to backtrack 3 days. Tomorrow is my first 5K, and although those two weeks off got me off schedule, I'm excited. I plan to start the…

I love accountibilibuddies! I need lots of them too! I do well for 10 or so days, and then I stop tracking and, of course, the pounds that I lost come right back. I'm starting a clean eating AdvoCare cleanse on Monday, and I'll definitely need support staying on the bandwagon after the 10-day cleanse is finished.

Suggestions for base layer & layering for running in the winter? I have access to a treadmill when it's icy, but I want to be outside this winter as much as possible. Is Under Armour brand a must, or what other brands would runners who experience all 4 seasons recommend? I know I'll need to invest in good gear to be safe;…

I'm also training to do a 5K, and eventually a half-marathon. Couch to 5K is a great program! I hate every second of my slow running, but I just keep reminding myself that it's better than not getting off the couch. I also get really excited when I see the inches & pounds fall off! From Montana. Excited to have some people…
