I got a new digital scale.I am also going to get weighed only on Fridays. Only Once in the morning. Or,I will get obsessed w/the scale again,and blow my whole plan.

Hi Tracy,
This is Ags and I would like to join your challenge.

I will drink 64 oz. of water each day.
I will stay within my points of WW this week.
I will do 10 to 15 min. of exercise each day.
I will not let anyone or anything stress me this week.

So far I'm on track for day 1

1. Water - 20 of 40 ounces so far
2. Calories - On track - 460 of 1300 so far
3. Exercise - DONE!! 60 minutes at Curves this morning!

All I have to do is drink 20 ounces of water for the rest of the day and stay on track with my calories!! Whewww hoo! This is much easier when you just take it a day at a time.

hey girls this is just what I needed to find thanks Tracy!

I will drink 64 oz water daily
I will eat no more than 1300 cal daily
Exercise 60 min daily

DAY 1-SUCCESS
WATER-check
EXERCISE-check
Calories-check
:cheer::cheer:
How was everyone else's day?

Day #1 is coming to a close. Over all I feel pretty good about everything

Water - 40 of 40 ounces consumed and still drinking ;)
Food - Went a little over my total goal of 1300 calories maybe around 1500 instead
Exercise - I did my 60 minutes at Curvs and just now did another 30 min. at the gym!


Lookin' forward to a big loss this week!!!!

I'm starting the week off at 267.4

I've done well so far today --
Calories 1155. Had some tilapia for dinner, very good.
Went to the gym and walked a mile on the treadmill, then went to water exercise which is why I'm eating later than 7 p.m. (class ends at 6:45).

I do plan to get to bed by 10 p.m. -- I am not sleeping enough and I think going to bed earlier will help.

Good morning everyone :wave:

Just stopping by to say a quick hello and wish everyone a successful day#2

So far so good here...I will check back in later today

Struggling through today...I have just been starving and can't get food off my mind. My whole day is kinda screwed up cause I have to babysit my neice and it is raining outside so can't do anything....AHHHH!

Hang in there Melissa,
I know some days are so hard.I don't know how you feel bout diet soda. But,sometimes a glass or two helps me.

yesterday was really good . Did'nt get all my water in but I plan on doing better today. Hope everyone has a good day!!!!!!

Hey Ladies,

So far so good. One day was a huge success,

64oz water-check
stayed within my points-check
10 min. exercise- check
and no one stressed me out-check

Tracy, I love the check method, I followed your lead. Thanks babe!! LOL

It is the start of day two for me and so far so good. Day one was great!!!
Will be back the end of the day to list accomplisshments. My goals are remaining the same for the whole week..

Ladies,
I HAVE COMPLETED DAY 2 AND IT WAS GRAND.

64 OZ.WATER--CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK
STAYED WITHIN ALOTTED POINTS--CHECK AND CHECK
10 MIN EXERCISE--CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK
NO STRESS--CHECK AND SUPER DOUBLE CHECK

Ags

So far so good. I have gotten my workout in and I'm doing great on eating. I am half way through my water so I need to pick up the pace there. Thanks for this challenge. Its great.

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:
Day2 went well!
Calories-:)
Water-:)
Exercise-:)

Day 2
The good --

Calories - my computer that has CalorieKing loaded on it is busy now, but I know I ate less than 1550.

Gym - had my weight training session today, and also went to a water exercise class.

The not so good --
Bed - plan to go to bed by 10 p.m., but still having problems sleeping.

Finish dinner by 7 p.m. -- this is a tough one for me. I have always eaten dinner late. My water exercise class doesn't end until 6:45 and it's after 7 by the time I get home. I think I may change this goal to finish dinner by 7:45. That's later than I would like. The only other option would be to eat it before going to class at 5:30 and that's a bit early.

Day 2 comments and recap
 

Thanks Tracy....and I love diet soda, but it gives me the worst sore throat. I started drinking the stuff about a year ago and drank it like crazy...I kept a sore throat with white puss like pockets on my throat....never could figure out what it was...then about 2 months ago I started having muscle spasms and cramps like crazy in my legs ...I had aspertame (sp?) poisoning...I quit drinking diet drinks and all of it went away and I have so much more energy....sucks though cause I finally had found a way to get my soda fix without using a ton of calories...I'm really trying to "like" water now..


Today's recap....

Water --> :yes: 40 of 40 oz done

Calories --> :no: had a moment at lunch today where I binged a little on the pizza the kids didn't eat......but I didn't let it ruin my day..

Exercise --> :yes: 60 minutes at Curves! :D


Overall I feel pretty good about the week so far :dance: and it seems so many of you are doing well!!! Keep it up...the week will be over before you know it! :carrot:

DAY 3!
Yeah! we are here another day!:cheer3:
Boy,the days are flying!
Good Luck To everyone today!
I didn't have any :coffee: 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!

:goodluck: to everyone today :hug:

Melissa,
That is so true If I went off plan.That was my excuse to eat badly the rest of the day.But i am not doing it so much any more, I too,am starting to look at the big picture.:goodvibes:for the rest of the day.

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,:running: plus 15 minutes on the bike.

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