DAY 3!
Yeah! we are here another day!
Boy,the days are flying!
Good Luck To everyone today!
I didn't have any yet,so I am going now!I'll check back later!

It is so neat how each day has started on a new page....day 2 on page 2 and day 3 on page 3....LOL...I'm easily amused....

Anyway....

This week is going great. I love the idea of setting just a few small goals for myself and taking everything a day at a time. I really blew it at lunch yesterday, and any other time I have tried to lose weight if I screwed up on my eating I just said to heck with the rest of the day...I just figured why exercise if I screwed lunch up...and why eat healthy for the rest of the day if I screwed on meal up.....then I would just tell myself...I will start tomorrow...but the next day would end up the same way.

Yesterday even though I messed up on my calories at lunch....I still knew I could meet my other two goals of exercise and water consumption....so I didn't give up...I got right back on track and exercised and ate better for the rest of the day AND had my water....and I still lost some weight today! I'm glad I didn't give up!

So.....the moral of the story is just don't give up....if the first two days weren't great...its okay...just forgive and forget! If you mess up later today....so what! Don't let that moment become who you are! It is just a moment in the big picture!

to everyone today

Day Three!

Tracy, that is so great you doubled your exercise time! Fabulous!

Well, I had a very busy morning and skipped breakfast for the first time since I started my program on March 10, 2009! I did eat a healthy lunch (salad with boiled shrimp and avocado) so am on track with my calories. Will check back in later. Good luck, everyone!

-----------
Final tally for day 3--pretty good!
• I'm a little light on the calories because I skipped breakfast. Not hungry though. It will be interesting to see how I feel tomorrow. I have my really hard strength training workout tomorrow.

• Ate dinner by 7:30 p.m.

• Went to the gym - walked/jogged a mile, plus 15 minutes on the bike.

• Will be in bed by 10 p.m. -- trying to sleep 8 hours.

Day 4

It's about 2 p.m. All okay so far. Thursday is the day I have my very tough weight training session with the squats and other exercises that are hard for me. I have a session on Tuesday also, but for some reason the exercises that day are a little easier -- not easy, mind you, but at least I can breathe .

I always have to eat extra carbs before the training because your muscles use glucose, and it's a slower process to get glucose from fat. (It can be done in regular life or normal exercise like cardio--that's how we lose weight--but heavy weight training needs glucose NOW and only carbs provide that.) Because I am on a low-carb plan, I found I have to eat my carbs in the morning or I am very weak.

Anyway ... weight training went fine. Calories on target for today. I slept 7 1/2 hours last night even though I woke up quite a few times but that is better than I have been. I'll check in tonight. Good luck to all you chickies!!!

Hey everyone! Glad to hear everyone is still doing pretty good and hanging in there. I can't believe day 4 is almost over! I just can't believe that tomorrow is day 5 and the last day of the challenge. WOW! Went by faster than I thought it was going to. I weighed in on Monday at 267.4 and today at 263.4 so I have lost 4 pounds so far!

Fridays are usually where I screw up. Something about the weekend and then I feel like I have to eat out all the time....BUT not this weekend...I'm gonna try to stay on plan and keep losing!

So far I'm on plan for everything...
