Red Team 2012 Resolution Revolution CHAT Thread Week 2 (01/09-01/15)
Just kicking us off before I go off to bed.
Kids go back to school on Tuesday & finally we'll be back to a routine. Remember to keep drinking your water- divide your weight by 2 & that is the minimum number of ounces of pure water you should be drinking each day. Week 2 of my 52 small changes is sleep. Do you get 7-8 hours of sleep each night? I usually do, but on the odd night, I sometimes short cut it & pay the price the next day. Reposting from the last thread: Quote:

Congratulations Red Team!!
Everyone did great! Way to kick off the Challenge! Great advice Mel- My best weight loss weeks have been when I stick to my water intake and get my 8 hours of sleep every night. I think both greatly help the body deal with stress better. Happy Monday Everyone, Have a great start to the new week. :D |
Morning everyone. here's to a great 2nd week. I am looking forward to dropping some weight this week as it took me this whole week to get back to where I was. Wish I would have changed my starting weight. Oh well!
Let's Rock This WEEK!!! |
Way to go everyone! I forgot to post until it was 1am here, so glad I made it! Here's to a brilliant 2nd week :D
|
Congrats Daimere!!
Great advice on the water and sleep, Mel. Definitely two things that are often overlooked. We actually just got blackout curtains for the bedroom and WOW what a difference! They're not even as ugly as I feared! :) It's my first day back at work today after vacation....don't wanna go! But I'm actually looking forward to getting back into all my routines. Vacation just left too much room for slack all over the place. Have a great week, team! |
Congrats team! Thank you!

The new goal I am starting this week is to start the one hundred push ups challenge. I also did Betty Hoop's dance workout after my strength. It kicked my butt! I'm hoping I will have officially reached my 5% goal tonight (official weigh in). |
Good morning ladies!
Shannon. I've done a squat challenge but not a push up one. Another tip- when walking, stand tall, pull back your shoulders and engage your core. Not only will you look slimmer, you're getting a mini workout. Loose seal. Got your pm, I'll discuss w/ blue team leader & get back to you - thanks. If you know any of the people who didn't weigh in, give them a shout. I tried PMing them , but many can't/don't receive PMs. Thanks. 2 meetings today, so I'll be scarce. Have a great day & make positive choices |
Congrats Daimere! Way to start out except for the folks we're missing. Cake, Rated - Where are youuuu??
Start out the week strong! |
:wave: everyone.
Congratulations Daimere! WTG :cheer: Great job to all the honorable mentions as well :cheer: So far, I have been staying on plan and I feel great. However, this morning I noticed that I am feeling some strain in my left knee :( I think I need to lay off the high impact workouts for a while to see if that helps. It's so frustrating! Mel - Great advice! I drink a lot of water so I feel good about that, but I really struggle to get 8 hours of sleep a night. I am finding that the older I get, the less sleep I need. I am lucky if I sleep 6 hours a night. It's something I need to work on. Peanutt - Hope your first day back was a good one. I know what you mean about having routines! Daimere - Good luck with your weigh-in tonight! Have a wonderful day everyone :) |
Looks like we had a good week!!..here is to another one, I know I have loss this week I can feel it!!!
|
So proud of us! :carrot:
Daimere I know how you feel..I do shift work, and when 3rd shift comes around I always end up sleep deprived. I definitely need to get back on track with drinking water...I'm not doing too badly, but I'm not drinking as much as I usually do and I can really tell the difference! |
HI Red Team
Congrats Daimere and all the honorable mentions!!! Great Job!! Diamere- I feel for you, I've done a lot of night shift work, and while I like it it is hard to get sleep in. Narnia, take care of your knees, it's better to take a few days off than keep working it and having to take months off. Mel- I drove the Mustang to work out today!! It was sweet! I went to workout today, Couch 2-5k week 2 day 1, then weights and elliptical. I was feeling a little pain in my right knee twards the end so I cut my elliptical short. Everyone have a great week!

Good morning Red Team!!
looks like most people had a great first week! keep up the awesome work :) we can do this together:carrot:;) my first few days of diarising my meals has been good, quite suprised at how aware of what you eat it makes you. i went to gym yesterday, did some cardio and weights but after about 30 minutes i felt horribly faint and had to stop. that is normally the time i get home and splurge on what evers in the fridge, so i think my body craves food at that time now. as soon as i stopped and drove home i was fine. i didnt attack the fridge, instead i had half an avocado about an hour later. im not giving into my bodys cravings anymore, usually i would have got home and eaten everything in sight. Fiona my dietician is trying to ween me off that 5pm craving attack by making me eat breakfast when i get to work, fruit for morning tea, lunch and some more fruit before i leave work so im less inclined to be "starving/craving" everythign in sight when i get home. ive just had some breakfast, about to write it up in my diary. since seeing fiona on friday, and takign note of what she said to me, ive been eating slower and not eating infront of the tv :D and hv found that i cant actually eat as much as i normally do when im concentrating on my meal in front of me and not whats on tv. :dizzy::o today im going to drink more water!! :D already have my bottle full here in front of me, and i have some fruit to keep me going for inbetween meals. :^: bit of a long one whoops :P hope everyone has a FABULOUS day!!! drink lotsa water and think happy thoughts:smug::D:p xoxoxo |
My starting weight was actually off by about 5/6 pounds from what I actually weighed. So, posting a 1-lb "gain" for last week is okay with me. I'll probably post some biggish numbers (3-4 pounds) in the 2nd week of the challenge.

Good Tuesday Red Team!
I woke up a little sore today. Yesterday was my first day back at 2-A-Day's! 2 workouts a day. Congratulations to everyone on their progress. We can take the FLAG!!! |
