What did you ladies do for yourselves today? Or rather yesterday, as it's past 1am here....
I took a 'pass' with my homework. Ha. I'll have a lot to make up on, but I just didn't want the stress today. So I just relaxed. Played some Wii with my boyfriend, read my book, watched a little TV, etc.
Remember to kick it up a notch for Monday!  Let's make this an AWESOME week!!!

Yesterday I took a nice long walk with the pups - could have gone farther but I wore one of them out. I also gave myself a nice manicure, fixed robinrobins tomatoe cabbage soup and turkey burgers so my lunches are all ready for my workweek. I love having soup!
Don't forget - kick it up a notch today!
Work this challenge like the camera is following you - this is the week Bob Harper is supposed to be here - let's show him!

I didn't get a chance to do anything nice for myself, sounds sad, but it is true. Just a bad weekend all around, but yesterday seemed to be the worst. I just want to reboot and start the week anew. Today I am out and about all day, won't be able to kick anything up a notch. Trying to be positive today!
A bit of emotional eating yesterday, which shows in my scale weigh-in this morning. You know when the poundage is up up up. My weight is going to be up for the next Big Loser weigh-in anyhow due to the TOM signs and things and that will start this week. I'll just keep trucking and focus on positive things this week. I don't handle stress well. Still learning how to cope with my emotions.

Well, today to kick it up a notch, I decided to do a test with the 30 Day Shred Workout. I'm going to do it EVERYDAY with no breaks until that 30 days is up! And I'm going to see if it truly does as it claims ('lose up to 20 lbs in 30 days'). It's a killer workout!
Anyhow, I had been modifying when they do jumping jacks, and just jogged, because jumping jacks are HARD. Well, as of today, and to kick it up that extra notch, I did them. I'm definitely sore, but feel so GREAT!
How did you all kick it up a notch today?!
Tomorrow is measure, weigh, and record every little bite that goes into your mouth!

I did well today, though a bit sickly. Something I have eaten has upset my tummy and I believe I know what, but I didn't overdo anything and won't at dinner. I'm gonna have a friggin' salad haha.
*kicks food that makes her ill* lol I'll put it on my "do not eat" list hahahaha.

I kicked it up a few notches on monday. I painted a whole bedroom by myself. Our ceilings are about 9 foot and I climbed into a chair over and over to paint the top edge. I didnt know your arms could be so sore and not fall off!! GOt the room finished up yesterday and back together.
On tuesday I didnt eat alot...in fact when I work hard I dont feel hungry.I counted every bite and came in way to low on calories.
What is todays challenge? I have lost track!

Yesterday, as usual, I recorded and measured everything that went into my mouth!
Sorry I wasn't able to post last night...I try to post the challenge for the next day, so no one gets behind. Today's was to try something new. Although Dance Dance Revolution is nothing new for me, I got a new game for it a while ago, and I got around to playing it, so it was all new songs. And I even upped the intensity. I was sweating buckets after half an hour!
Tomorrow's challenge: Get all fruits/veggies/water in!

Again, water & fruits were no problem. I struggle with the veggies the most. I just don't LIKE many vegetables. Bleh. I got in 2/3 servings in of veggies & 3/2 of fruits. lol. And got in 12 glasses of water & counting.
Tomorrow's Challenge:
Report on a NSV you've had over the past week, or a list of things you can do now that you couldn't before. Or reasons that you're doing this/things you WANT to do in the future! :]

I was a little shy on veggies today - very unusual for me. BUT I really kicked it up a notch - I had a personal training session for 45 minutes - all upper body then 60 minutes in the water - by the time I was in the water my arms were already sore - I can't imagine what tomorrow will be like. Getting a day ahead (and since I can't reach to pat myself on the back) my trainer was amazed at my upper body strength - normally it is a class environment. Don't worry I'll find something tomorrow too (I know - it's what you were afraid of isn't it).

Hello ladies! Sorry I wasn't able to get in here last night; I had reported my NSV on the main thread, but I'll share here, too...because hey! Why not? lol.
A couple of weeks ago, my size 26 jeans fit me again. Woo! Well, I put them on the other day, and they're already starting to get loose! Quite thrilled. Can't wait until I'm in 24s...or even better, 22s!
Today was pick your challenge. As always, I have a difficult time getting in my fruits & veggies, so I wanted to pair that challenge with no eating out. I got in FIVE servings of veggies today! And 3 of fruit, so I'm definitely good. And no eating out.
Tomorrow's challenge is to do something nice for yourself!

After 4 hours in the cold and wind I gave up waiting for Bob - but I did get to go in the Dr Oz bus - see the picture page. While we were there we walked 4 miles trying to keep warm.
BTW - Amanda - my gym mate that inspired this challenge has lost 22 pounds so far - even Bob was impressed.

Today, I went and visited with an old friend that I hadn't seen in a while. Caught up with everything, and just had a great time. Definitely girl time that I was desperately needing!
Remember to kick it up a notch for Monday!
