Hi, I'm still here.
I had a rough weekend but today was good: I had 1260 calories but unfortunately not a lot of vegetables bc i need to go shopping.
exercises were 30 min elliptical, 7 very painful minutes on the guantlet stairstepper (the one that is actually a staircase that kind of falls out from under you), 200 crunches, 20 ab leg lifts, lots of leg lifts, 20 squats, 40 lunges. phew.
I'm also going to do the 21 day challenge posted somewhere on this site. I'll let you know what I decide to due by tomorrow nite. Best of luck to everyone, Shawna
Challenge rules:
"It works like this: you decide you'll do something for 21 days straight, every single day, so keep it doable. Then you count ....one through 21.....and if you flub it, you MUST go back to zero and start over again. Everyone will be on different days. You can start anytime. At the beginning of the challenge you declare what level it is -- Level 1, 2, or 3. Level 1 means you feel it's a relatively easy challenge for you and means you only give yourself ONE pause day (see explanation of pause days below). Level 2 would give you two pause days and so on...
With a pause day you pause in your counting and continue the next day with the number you left off with. Pause days are NOT substitutes for days, i.e. Day 12 -- Day 13 -- Pause Day -- Day 14..... I suggest taking a pause day late in the game (better to go back to Day 1 early on) if you need a break or screw up when you're well into the challenge, meaning, when you're on Day 15 or something like that.
In any case, the trick is to keep going. The momentum builds and it's great incentive to stick to your guns, cause if you don't.........back to START you go. And the really great thing about this challenge is that you are forming new habits that will wipe out the old! AND, you get to do it with a great bunch of really supportive people to whom you are accountable!"
