I had some free time on my hands and made us a banner using Becca's motto "Just Keep Swimming". You can use it if you want and I thought our mascot could be a mermaid. What do you think? Let me know if you want anything changed or if you want me to take out the blinking animation.

Glad you like the banner :D

Captain Dazzling - Nice job on the chart and yes those are my correct stats.

i love the banner and the chart! rock on aqua chicks!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THE BANNER! :) How do I add it to my signature?

How's everyone doing so far? I ate pretty well today, but didn't get a chance to get my cardio in due to yearly surprise inspection at work. Am going tomorrow at lunch, and will be a good girl :)

so far so good... hoping to keep dinner healthy! I just threw out the ice cream that my bf left in the freezer. =) I'm off to class shortly and planning to hit the gym afterward - this challenge is major motivation to stick to that plan!

Hello again Aqua chicks :)

I see that everyone is doing great today and it's so heart warming to see that :)

Well, today I was supposed to do my 4th day in level 2 of the 30 Day Shred, I usually work out in the morning but somehow I woke up at the wrong side of bed lol. Had pretty much a not so good Monday at work, lots of arguments with my boss and collegues who just don't want to get some important stuff !! At lunch break, I went home to have lunch, and that's when I had this big argument with my mom, and that led to losing appetite and not eating a thing. Then the afternoon was again full of surprises from one of our customers, we had to redo a big chunk from a project we are working on ....

After work, I just did my workout, still upset with my mom, and didn't have dinner !! So basically, the only thing I have eaten since Sunday at 7pm is 2 clementines and lots of water ! I know it's not good, but I m just too stressed to eat anything.

Tomorrow is a new day, I wish it would be brighter than today !!

Don't you just hate those Mondays when anything doesn't seem to work ...

Sorry for the vent. I am off to bed now, I am just exhausted. It's 10:40pm now.

Hey ladies.
I need your numbers on the official thread, or are they there and I missed them?
Copy another team's check-in. :)

Cheers!

Sorry SW is 216

dandk0204: Thanks

My lovely ladies, how are you doing today?
On my lunch break, I was thinking of ways to spice up our challenge and thought of this: what do you think if each one of us writes down their workout plan for this week, that way we can push each other to stick with it.
Also, what if we share our daily food intake, things like :

Veggies I ate today:
Fruits:
Protein:
Starches (bread,pasta,rice...):
Drinks:
Legumes:
Junk food:
Others:


And we can post this at the end of the day when we finish with all the eating :) Just a thought!
And please shower me with your ideas whenever you can.

I already know my workout plan, so I'll just write it down now.

Workout Plan:
30 Day shred + 1 hour brisk walk --> EVERYDAY

Well, Monday went pretty well for me, as basically the first day I am back to committing to this journey. :) I was gonna say the first day is always easy but I remember a time when I couldn't even get through a day without "cheating"! I'm on the road now and and feeling good. The accountability of you chicks really helps me stay motivated!

Dazzling, this week I don't really have a workout plan. Hopefully that's not letting the team down! I am just starting again and I have a paper due this Friday so I'm just trying to get through the week with my food goals. But I WILL push you all to stick with your exercise while I'm chained to the computer. lol
