It was a day off from work for me so I got a lot of walking in.
7200 Aerobic steps (67 min walking)

I've consumed ~1410 calories today

Thursday here in SK was good for me. I did a 15 minute exercise video at work in our auditorium because we didn't have classes today and I was slightly bored.

Breakfast, Snacks, and Lunch only came to 900 calories. SO I allowed myself to go out to dinner with my coteachers for some Korean food. Had salad/grass type stuff, pork loin, kimchi, lettuce leaves, and only 6 oz beer and a few shots of soju. Regardless, I did still stay under my 2100 calorie limit.

I did get all my water intake in today because after dinner we went to a local bar, and instead of drinking more alcohol I just had two glasses of water.

Anyways, hope everyone has a great Thursday wherever you are. Its almost Friday here! I start teaching a "mommy and me" class tomorrow for Korean parents and their younger children. Should be a fun trial run tomorrow with one class in the morning.

GO RED TEAM GO!!!!

I was bad.....
 

I have been so busy and feeling ill again today, I haven't had time to log my food earlier. I see that everyone is doing so well (CanadaMel, KimL1214, Shan84, MontoCristo, LizzyG & Zoochick777), great job everyone! I wasn't so good I was craving something sweet and I eat a small bag of cookies......and I didn't get to exercise. :(

Totals for the day:
Points: 28
Calories: 1361

I haven't exercised yet, but as soon as my parents are finished watching TV I'm going to go try to put in 15-30 minutes on the elliptical since it's finally fixed. :cheer3:Keep up the good work Red Team :cheer2:

IgetfitNStrong - Don't beat yourself up for one "relaxed" day. Just remember to get right back on the bandwaggon.

Happy Friday to everyone! I was disappointed this morning when I stepped on the scale to take a sneak peak at how I was doing this week. I think my Korean food night out last night with my teachers was the culprit. So tonight when everyone decided to go out drinking, I passed and decided to stay in. I know I didn't have to, and I could have gone out and drank water, but I'm just not in the mood.
Sorry for the vent ladies but being in a country where I have no one to talk to about whats going on, especially because no one would understand the language I am speaking, that leaves....YOU ALL! :) :)
Anyways, I taught my first Mommy and Me class today at our elementary school. It was a ton of fun and a great workout. I'm totally counting it as part of my exercise. I was running around with the kids, playing jumping games, and acting out animal movements. I worked up a HUGE sweat by the time the class was over.
I also sticked to my calorie count today and went with 1900 of my 2100 allowance.
I'm praying so hard for a good weigh in on Sunday. This makes my second weigh in on my new lifestyle/diet change. The first week as you may remember I didn't lose anything, so I was hoping for a decent loss this week so I have something to show for myself. To prove to myself I really can do it.

Plus, I REALLY want to see the Red Team kick butt! :)

Thanks Mel & MonteCristo for the words of encouragement. I am just feeling badly that I cheated, right before a weigh, it was self-defeating. I really don't want to let my teammates down or myself. BTW congrats ZooChick777 on your weight loss.

We're all in this together- support is so important- especially if those around us don't understand the how & why of our lifestyle change!

Today I ate 1,562 calories (51 over budget), but overall doing well for the week. TOM came today, so I hope the scale will be forgiving for weigh in on Monday.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I met my week one exercise challenge today + an additional 269 minutes. Spent the day hiking to a waterfall, and visiting and touring the POW camp from during the Korean War. Stayed on target with my calories all day and got all my water in. Tomorrow is my weigh in day so I felt like today was my last chance workout. We shall see how it affected my body. I'm kinda bummed about this next week because it will be TOM and I just hope it doesn't affect my weight too much. Tomorrow I celebrate a clean 2 weeks on my new lifestyle with no major mishaps!

today
 

Good Morning,

Sorry I haven't checked in I have been very ill with a high fever. Feeling so much better today. I see everyone (KimL1214, Shan84, MonteCristo, CanadaMel & Zoochick) is sticking with the program!
