First of all...Huge congrats to SuperHeroTeacher! Also, congrats to Elizabeth779 and novus! And to all other losers this week! What a great way to start off this challenge everyone! Two weeks in a row the Red Team is Rockin'!
angiemama: That's how I feel most days too...have a hard time getting to the gym, but once I'm done I always feel better! The only workout I regret, is the one I didn't do!
CanadaMel: Congrats on sticking to it! Week 4 - that's awesome!
EofAZ: Cheers to getting noticed! Such a nice feeling to know that all your hard work and efforts are noticed by those around you! Way to go on hitting Onederland!!! That's awesome!!!
Changergirl: I'm not sure what NROLFW is, but strength training is a great way to burn calories!
thinkfit: Have you tried the elliptical trainer? That's a great no-impact exercise! Also, walking is a great start too. you could pick up the pace a bit or go a bit longer to increase your calorie burn.
So much has happened in just over a week, I'm not sure where to start...
Let me start by sharing a NSV. I was down in Edmonton, AB last week looking for a house to live in since I am posted this summer. While there I am proud to say that I made some really great food choices and didn't eat any fast food all week even though I was under some huge time restraints most of the week.
But, the biggest NSV for me was when I only had 30 mins for lunch one day I was looking for a Tim Horton's (a really good coffee shop / cafe with soups and sandwiches) so I could grab a chili. Well, I found one and as many of you know they can be located right next to a Wendy's! I was like...Ohhhh, I can have a Baconator!!! But, while waiting in line, I saw the new Chicken Berry Salad (Chicken, Spinach, Lettuce, Strawberries, Blueberries and Roasted Almonds). So, I ordered that and OMG it was soooo good! I didn't even think about what I did until I got home and told my daughter what I ate while I was gone and she was shocked that I went to Wendy's and didn't have a Baconator! Honestly, so am I
And then of course I had my on the scale victory...I have never lost so much in one week before! That's exciting in itself!
Sorry for such a long post, I'm just excited this week!
Keep drinking that water everyone! Keep up the great work!!
