I will also join you in this challenge. I have been meaning to add in a nightly walk on top of my other exercise so this is a perfect time to start.

I had myself a fantastic weekend. I was able to play tennis, go to some estates sales, go to a musical and hang out with my adorable nieces. I have taken the rest of the week off from work. I am going to do a lot of yard work and I am also going to be doing some work for a huge rodeo out here most of the week. You may not…

Life is pretty fantastic out here in Utah. It is warm without being too hot and that makes me happy. My best healthy me moment came when it was my job to bring the treats for my Wednesday church thing. I decided to bring red grapes, strawberries and fresh peaches instead of cookies or something like that. The best news is…

It is true that what we are doing can often be a struggle. We want to relapse, we want that delicious whatever, we think our life will be better and all will be right if we get that [fill in the blank]. As you mentioned, an important part is to recognize when the addiction is doing its work to take over. If we recognize…

Good day all! Yesterday was a fabulous day and a solid start to the challenge. I got my exercise in and did some swimming at a BBQ pool party I was invited to. The best part is that I was able to judge the cannonball competition. I abstained from competing to give the others a fighting chance haha. Tonight is basketball…

Hello all! My goal for this 10 days is to:* Drop 3 pounds * Work out for 300 minutes * Stick to my food budget * Do my push ups every night I had a fantastic weekend. My best friend got married to a wonderful lady. At the wedding I ate well and burned a lot of calories on the dance floor haha. I went on a hike with a group…

Have fun!

I am ready for this next 10 day challenge. I am a few pounds lighter (I assume I still am since we stopped weighing in) and I am ready to shed a few more. I have been really good about my eating this past little bit in part because I am being so good about my budget. My waist and my wallet are happy that the thickness is…

I do thank you for the advice. I may not have the visible abs, but these buns can crack a walnut haha. I have the booty of a power squatter and it apparently looks good in spandex. (One of the things I learned from being in the musical) But I don't want to be 17 again! Make it 23 and we have a deal.

I did indeed go on a date last week haha. I went on a nature walk and lunch with a great girl named Sarah. I had a lovely time, and she didn't seem to hate it either. I might just have to take her out again at some point. I don't know if anything funny has happened, but I did come to a terrible realization. I turn 30 in a…

Hello all, I had quite a lovely weekend. I was able to play a lot of tennis which always makes me happy. On the 4th my group was able to sing the national anthem at a rodeo. It ended up being a lot bigger than I thought, but it was fun. I was even able to do a good job with my food choices. Today has also been off to a…

Day three has been okay for me. Nothing spectacular, but passable. If I saw my day three walking by on the street I would most likely take no notice of it whatsoever. That being said I am excited for tonight. For one I don't work tomorrow and for two I am going to be playing either tennis or racquetball tonight and that…

Hello all, Yesterday was a solid day for me. I managed to eat well and I played a few hours of basketball last night. I ended up feeling a little sick though. The place where we normally play was busy so we headed to our backup location, but the AC wasn't working. I may not currently be experiencing Nancy temperatures, but…

My goals for the next ten days include:* Logging my food everyday * 300 minutes of exercise (not including walking) * Get in bed and have my book put away at a reasonable hour This week so far (all 1 day of it) has been pretty good. I was able to spend some time last night making lunches for the week and I made a creamy…

Hello all. I h ad a pretty solid weekend. On Saturday I was able to play tennis for a few hours and after we went to the pool to cool down and to have a relaxing swim. I just signed up for another dietbet. I know they aren't a good thing for everybody, but I do well when I have monetary motivation involved in my weight…

The way I have the goals listed in the sheet are pretty simple. Each goal has its own sheet in the document. Each goal has been given a numeric outcome so that way as I go along I can fill in what has been done (almost like a child's sticker chart haha) and I can see the percentage I am currently at in my goal and whether…
-
The goals I made are five in number and pretty simple. 1. Weight loss: In one year I want to be down to 330. Doable and important. 2. Budget: During the next year I want to save 2000 more than I have this past year (preparing more meals at home will help with this goal and the previous one) 3. School: In one year from now…

Well I managed to get all my goals (long and short) listed out and entered into a spread sheet. It'll be very easy to track my progress and to keep myself accountable. Karen, I have tried low carb and I didn't notice a huge difference. For my mother it is pretty much a requirement, but my body doesn't hate me to that point…

Hello everyone! I made it back safe and sound from my camping trip. I had an amazing time out there with my friends. I was able to get out in nature, go on some hikes, play tennis and do my best Karen impression by getting into a lake to do some water sports. I was even able to do a decent job with my eating. We didn't…

Hello all! Basketball last night was quite enjoyable. I played better that the week before and you had better believe I worked up to a good sweat. The post basketball shower is one of the greatest things known to man. I am up for another 10 day mini challenge. For me I would have to say log everything I eat, which'll be a…

I am really looking forward to basketball tonight. My niece is recovering quite well. She is home and happy. Her sisters are also very happy to have her back home. If I remember I will try and upload a picture of their reaction to having her back. I am also quite terrible at selfies. I guess it just isn't something I have…

Cari, good luck with the LCHF. It'll be tough, but worth it. It was a solid weekend for me. I was able to go to the Scottish festival and watching the strong man competition really made me want to get back into power lifting. My back feels great again so I might try and get some lifting in tonight. This weekend I will be…
-
For me I do try to pre plan all of my meals and do what I can in advance. I will be the first to admit that I often to not get done all that I should haha. I don't worry about carbs so much but I do try to stay under a certain calorie limit. My sister flew out on Friday, but she did give a lot of ideas that I will need to…

I am doing quite well. i found a video online that showed me how I could try and gently get it back into place. It is pretty awkward to watch, but I have to say the grabbing the cheek just to the side of the tail bone, pushing up, and walking did seem to help haha. I am excited for this weekend. It is the Scottish…

Hooray for walking and hooray for Grimm! This summer I plan on doing a lot of boating and hiking and camping and whatnot, but the only trip I really have planned is my annual trip up to Yellowstone later this summer. Right now I am working on some exercises and stretches for my left sacroiliac joint. About every year and a…

My niece needed to have a piece of membrane removed from her heart. It hadn't caused her any issues up to this point, but they were afraid that it would start to damage the valve. She really is recovering quite quickly and will hopefully be able to go home today. Great job on getting the swimming and treadmilling (this is…

Karen, good luck on day three! I am doing quite well over here. Yesterday was the day of my niece's surgery. It went incredibly well and she is alert and getting all the nurses to love her in recovery. She should be able to go back home by the end of the week. After visiting up there for a few hours last night, I headed…

I would be in for a quick 10 day challenge that is food related. that usually seems to be one of my bigger hang ups anyways haha. Karen, if you manage the swim that is great, but if you don't it is still amazing how close you got.

Happy birthday indeed!!
