Hey all. I challenged myself to a OP weekend, and apart from the mac and cheese I had at this really yummy restaurant here in Brooklyn, I'm doing well! (I had grilled asparagus and blackened catfish with that mac and cheese...and sangria with a lot of fruit in it).
Also, I've finally gotten back into the swing of things with my exercise regimen - incorporating 30 Day Shred with Insanity. If you're familiar with 30DS but not so much with Insanity, I'd say that Level 3 of 30DS is on par with the exercises done in the first month of Insanity...it's crazy that I'm about to start doing workouts HARDER than this in a couple of weeks!
So far all I've had today is a bowl of raisin bran, I have tons of errands to run and I'm gonna take some engagement photos later on today! I hope everyone has a great OP day!

Lisa - It's good to hear from you. I wondered what happened to you. I hope you like the new job more as time goes by. Just take it one meal at a time and you'll be back in your groove before you know it.
Tricia - Great job staying OP over the weekend and on getting your workouts done.
I've had a great weekend so far. I was at a pot luck lunch today and all I had was a plate full of salad, a Coke Zero and water. I've managed to stay off the scale too.
I know I'm a bit late but I'd like to join in on the July Challenge
1) My weight loss goal is to get as far into the 130s as possible
2) Continue swimming 3xs a week and do yoga on the other days
3)Visit this thread as often as possible
Additional goals:
Remain binge free for the entire of July
Keep to the IF plan
Save up for a set of dumbells
TheManekiNeko. I wish you much success in reaching your July goals. I agree and will join you on staying binge free. So far this month I haven't had a binge and I hope to go through the entire month without one. I look forward to reading your posts.
I hope everyone else is having a good day so far.
Still no weighin Today made a full week since I've been on the scale. I am oh so curious to know where I am but I WILL wait 'til Friday, 7/29 before I step on the scale.
1. Weight loss goal, 6 lbs.
2. Since I'm already behind, there are 21 more days left this month and I plan to exercise on all 21.
3. I'd love to check in everyday, but that may not be possible, so my goal will be checking in 3 times a week.
@ Getting fit - how do you like Hip Hop abs? I just ordered it! Figured it'd be funner than PX90 : ) Maybe if I get brave I'll order Shaun T's 60 Day Insanity at some point.
Wanted to check in before I start my day.
First the disappointing news: Weighed myself and was 183.4 - hoping it's water weight considering a few days ago I was 179, but wanted to stay "honest" about it.
Off to a good start, food wise. I post my food on weight watchers, not sure if there's a way to share. I figure I can at least post my points at the end of the day. I can have 29 daily and 49 for the week extra.
Going to try and do something physical, but have a sprained ligament on my left foot. I think I have a weight DVD I can do.
Talk to you again later! Everyone have a great day!
Welcome, calmeida and TheManekiNeko and Timoba! Good luck to you all and I'm glad you joined our thread!!
Lisa ~ Good to hear from you! I'm sorry you don't love your new job, but it's awesome that you are grateful that you have it. Today's economy stinks really bad for a lot of people. If you like salsa you can always bake chicken tenderloins with salsa on them. They are still tasty the next day after being nuked. I even nuke them and wrap 'em in a piece of whole wheat bread.
Tricia ~ I'm glad you had an OP weekend! I don't do Level 3 of 30DS because it kills my knees...which is too bad because I remember that it was tough!
GettinFit ~ Awesome job at the potluck and with the non-weighing! It sounds like you are doing great.
The non-daily-weighing thing is getting a bit easier because I know that I'll start my patterned water-weight-gain due to ovulation by the end of the week, so that is encouraging me to stay off of the scale anyway. 18 days until the July 29th WI...that's right around the corner!! Yowsa!!
