I will be wrapping up my first week of WW tomorrow and I am pretty dang proud of myself. I have done great with the points thing suprisingly and not feeling deprived at all. There have been some days where I haven't come close to using all my points, I know bad bad bad. Progress not perfection, right?!?
Now exercise, UGH. I have such a hard time getting started with this, and I can't figure out why! I really will need your support as I try to embark on this sometime this week. I gave myself the first week to just get used to my new eating plan and this week hit the workouts.
I wish you all the best of luck regardless of your team. I know you'll all look fantabulous at the end and cannot wait to see all the huge changes in pictures and stats!
This has been a really great first challenge day for me! I am right on my calories, have done an hour of cardio, and have downed 5.5 bottles of water so far. I will do my weight training tonight when kids are tucked in. Of course, we haven't left the house all day and it gets harder tomorrow when school, basketball, and cheerleading, crowd my day
Is there going to be an exercise challenge or anything? I know, it's only the first day but I'm anxious
I hope everyone else is starting this off on the right foot as well to us all for the next twelve weeks...and the future beyond.
I have been in Toronto for a basketball tournament all weekend, and just got home to check in!
I wanted to check the list, say a quick "hi" and will come back to read all of the weekend posts once the little darlings (including dh) are in bed!!
Showers to give, lunches to make, clothes to sort, etc....
I ate a little too much, and moved too little this weekend, so I will be up at 5:30am tomorrow working it all off.
Good luck teams!!
Same advice as what has been given, as I so remember even my little one interrupting my watp videos. I started giving her her mega blocks wagon, her dolls, and laying it all out next to the t-mill. Give her a little snack bag of cheerios and/or goldfish and a sippy cup of water. There she had everything she could want for 1/2 hr and if she threw a fit bc she couldn't wait, then so be it, that was just her being mean not bc she truly needed anything. And soon that would pass bc she would see mommy would finish up her 5 minutes or whatever. But I know what you mean with more than one complicating things. It would actually be worse when the 5 yo was on hand to "bother" or torture her or come up with "bad" ideas for them to do together. Even this past summer with them at 5 and 7, it was tricky, and I daily had to review the rules of - no going out when mommy's in the basement, no answering any doorbells even if it's your friends, etc.
Guess what? DH has started having these really bad neck pulls and I think he's getting a guilt trip about it being diet related and how he's living having stroke or something. No laughing matter, but you know what I mean when your headache makes you think you have a brain tumor right? So I told him about fitday and Body For Life and I think he may actually be willing to start tomorrow if I put everything together for him and tell him what to do!
Let me just say how proud I am of you Black Team ladies - already over half of us have posted our weigh-in charts on the weigh-in thread! Only about 5400 more pounds worth of women need to post! yay!
Woohoo - go RED team! I'm looking forward to getting to know all of the folk that weren't in the last challenge. A good first day for me. I tried a new WATP video - 3 mile super fat burning. It uses the weights for half of the walk. Whew - it was intense Now if I can just get the scale to agree that I burned a LOT of cals today
I couldn't get it to paste in the sig! Every time I copy it, paste is not an option down there. I think I"m going to have to photobucket it and then insert the url or something.
Chellez I'm having the same problem and I so want Bob in my signature or avatar! I will put him in my avatar. I'm not savvy enough with photobucket, etc.
to us all for the next twelve weeks...and the future beyond.

C'mon blue team ladies...put that on your signature! lol
