anyone can join anytime- and you can always start at day 1- even though some (wormwood) are rockin in at 7 days (way to go BTW!), if we slip up three times in a row we start back at day 1, so potentially you could get to 21 days before someone who started days ago hope that made sense
and no weigh in days, unless it helps you to report! Then by all means, let us cheer on the victories

Yesterday was day 5 of being OP. Now I am aiming to keep going for the weekend, my usual downfall.
1. Gym 5 days per week (check)
2. Bring lunch to work (check)
3. At least 80 oz water a day (check)
4. One cheat food a week
5. No processed carbs after 3pm (check)
I forgot for a second that my third goal was no more than 2 sweets. I was thinking the whole time that it was no sweets. So, I caved yesterday and got a twisted frosty from Wendy's....thinking that I was going to be taking one of my pauses. But technically, I stayed under calories, went to the gym yesterday morning, and this was my first "sweet" all week, so I'm still good!!!
Day 4 (Friday) & 5 (Saturday) recap in one post (today is Day 6)
Day 4 went well, actually went under my points (oops) but its okay.
Day 5 went well in terms of food, but I wasn't able to work out. I had this egg/cheese thing from Dunkin Donuts for breakfast b/c I was on the road and it KILLED my stomach all day. I got back to my house from PA and just went right to bed, alternating sleeping with running to the bathroom. I was pretty sore from the 30 DS/gym still, so I'm taking that as my "rest" exercise day.
Wow chel that worked in your favor I bet- good job on the no sweets for a week at least no you can have some and not feel like you're cheating
stella every time I start the 30DS I'm sore for days!!! It's such a great workout, but you wouldn't think that just by watching the video Yay for Day 6
travelgirl what is p90x? I'm not so great with those things
Kindra yay for day 5

Day 7 of 21---- wow- we're flying through the days!
today is a birthday party of my husband's niece so I will promise to try my hardest to be good- i don't want to take another pause!
1. No soda
2. Stay under 1500 calories

I decided to go to a local garden to see if the roses were out, and wound up getting lost on the hiking trails. 5 miles and 2 hours later (in heeled sandals) through the mud, I don't feel so bad about taking a break yesterday.
My mom and I had lunch at Chili's and we thought we were doing pretty good having salads. Yeah, thank god I didn't have the ranch dressing because Chili's salads are wicked high in calories!!! We ate more of a late lunch/early dinner, so I was still able to stay around my 1500 calories for the day, but the good majority of my day's calories came from that one salad! Ridiculous! haha
I didn't make it back to the gym on Friday, but I did manage to walk more than a mile, I'm sure (2500 steps more than treadmill days with shopping and stuff at the camp site). Thanks to alcohol and other camping foods, I know I went way over on cals on Saturday and Sunday, so I'm calling them my off days.
4 days on plan, 2 days off. Ready to get back to the gym today!
Have I ever mentioned how much I HATE this co-worker I'm traveling with? We're kind of in the middle of an industrial park, so we have a few lunch choices. One is a sushi place, one was an American style bistro. At breakfast there were no really good, filling choices, so I wound up having a high point breakfast. I was super-psyched that I could have sushi for lunch, low points and FILLING. But no. Jason doesn't like sushi, doesn't even like going into sushi places even if they have things he'd eat.
Point is, I used my FP today and I DIDN'T WANT TO. The American restaurant had a very limited lunch menu and nothing low calorie. Yes, could have done a salad, but then I would have been starving an hour later, so I had this grilled chicken sandwich (read huge piece of fatty chicken on a hamburger bun) that totally tore up my stomach. There's an Applebee's attached to the hotel (he can't go anywhere else, he has to call his pre-pubescent wife all night so we're on borrowed time) and I had the 7-point garlic and herb chicken with veggies.
I did go to the gym in the hotel and we walked back and forth to lunch, so I wound up with an hour of walking (in heels should count extra).
Just so annoyed at him.
I didn't use my FP this weekend in preparation for this trip, but ARGH. I'm so happy that tomorrow we're going over to the hospital cafeteria where I can CHOOSE MY OWN LUNCH. Jerkface...
) are rockin in at 7 days (way to go BTW!), if we slip up three times in a row we start back at day 1, so potentially you could get to 21 days before someone who started days ago
hope that made sense
