So I don't work tomorrow (well today I guess) until eleven soooo tomorrows checklist:
1.) Vitamins: (I freakin suck at remembering to take them)
2.) Water: (at least 2 L)
3.) Video: Cardio Party and Ab Jam (I looked it up)
4.) Gym: 2.5 mile walk/run
5.) Grocery Shopping: and if I can figure out how to upload pictures I will....of the food of course!
6.) Sleep: 8 hrs? (it's a stretch but worth a goal)


Being that I didn't make a checklist for 3/20 I'll go by the one above and see how I'm doin so far
1.) forgot vitamins....
2.) 1.5L down, .5 to go to make goal
3.) 20 minute Jam complete
4.) didn't have time for the gym, hence short video...
5.) packed healthy lunch and ate healthy out with my family for my brothers birthday dinner...feels good when I make good choices!
6.) slept 5.5 hours (feeling ok though..not to tired or wired)

So that's where I'm at for now folks!

:coach:WELL DONE PRIVATE HAZE!!!! YOU HAVE YOUR LIST, YOU HAVE A PLAN....THATS HALF THE BATTLE RIGHT THERE!! VERY PROUD!!!

SO PROUD OF YOU FOR MAKING A HEALTHY DINING OUT CHOICE EVEN IN THE WAKE OF A FAMILY'S BIRTHDAY!! NOW THATS DETERMINATION!!

I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING MORE BACK FROM YOU PRIVATE!

NOW GET TO THAT GYM AND WORK WORK WORK!!! :D

everything below is done in sets of 60 seconds with no rest in between exercises. do the sets until 10 min. pass then rest 1 min and go on again.

push up, walk on hands 1 step to side, push up, walk 1 step other direction, repeat.

PRIVATE GOOMASTER-BUTTERFLY REPORTING IN:



JM's No More Trouble Zones: COMPLETED
Crunches: 400 COMPLETED
Push-ups: 75 COMPLETED


I almost blew off everything BUT then guess who I heard yelling in my ear . . . SARGE, doh.

Finishing 2nd bottle of H2O, icing knee, eating healthy breakfast and reporting in (Yup all at the same time . . . can you say "multitasking" :lol3:

Today's plan: shower, pack up healthy snacks & H2O for hike, plan to do at least 5 miles, return home, shower, healthy supper . . . then . . . . rest . . .

Reporting in, Surrogate Sarge! :)

Only down .5 from last week after pledging one full pound...I worked out and ate on plan, so don't know what happened, but I'm going to keep it up!

My pledge this week is 2 pounds! I plan on going from 205 even to 203 even!!!

I need Sarge to kick my rear into gear!!!!!

Madam- how long do 400 crunches take to do?

Surrogate Sarge: Reporting for duty!

This morning I have: Walked/Jogged 2 miles on treadmill, 114 crunches, Walked 8yo daughter to school (it's 65 degrees, who can resist that?) Ate a healthy breakfast, played tag with my 2yo, drank 32oz of water, swept and mopped 900sq of ceramic tile, vacuumed 1100 sqft of carpet (floors are a workout within themselves) and its not even 1100 hours yet, Surrogate Sarge!

This afternoon I plan to: walk/job 2 more miles on treadmill, 100 or better more crunches, and if my hip hop workout video comes in the mail today, I will be doing that too!

Question for anyone: is it possible to have TOO much water daily? Last week I was having 96oz daily. Is that ok?

Pvt RainMiles I'm reporting for duty. I didn't reach my 3 Lb weight loss. I weighed 221 on 3/11 I didn't weigh in on 3/13 and I weighed 220.6 on 3/19
I didn't weigh in on Sunday. I had a wedding Saturday which I didn't do very well with food that day and only had 1 beer. But I did get to the gym and did weights and only a little cardio.

I might have to help out with KP so I better get out my potato peeler. If I don't start shapping up. I was almost out of the 220's. Been under a lot of stress lately. House hunting.

My weight loss goal for next Sunday 3/27 is 3 LBS.

I need a :kickbutt:. Let's melt some Butt-er.

:drill:

GOOD MORNING PLATOON!!!!

It's a new week and a new day! I hope everyone's making the right choices! Believe me, if you're not, Surrogate Sarge is gonna be all over you! :eek: And then....just wait until Sarge gets back! :eek: She'll let you have it too!

As for me, I am definitely making the best of what cards I've been dealt this week. Apparently yesterday I broke my left pinky toe. It's all sore and purple. Ick! It's the third time I've broken the stupid thing really. You'd think I'd learn to be careful where I walk by now! :rolleyes: Looks like I'll be concentrating on weights this week to give my toe time to heal up.

I've eaten nothing but healthy stuff today so far! Breakfast was oatmeal with 2 packets of Splenda and some of my Silk soy French Vanilla creamer in it and a red delicious apple. Lunch was a large salad, a mango, and a kiwi. I am still working on my first 32 oz. of water though. Time to get chugging!

SURROGATE SARGE RAINMILES---YOU ARE DOING AN AWESOME JOB!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!

SARGE ran 4 miles today in new best time because Sarge knew he couldn't expect the platoon to put in the time if he didn't.

I'm reading all the posts!!! You're right...slackers are gonna have to pry my boot from their 'arse if they don't produce.

Those having a tough time...WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN! Journaling really works. I didn't think it would, but the week I started writing down everything I ate vs. what I did in the gym, I started losing 2 to 4 pounds a week.

Re: the water question. You can't really have too much. In the rare case, water intoxication can occur, but again, RARE cases only. The following is a handy site that has a WATER CONSUMPTION CALCULATOR, CALORIE INTAKE CALCULATOR, and ACTIVITY CALCULATOR.

MOST IMPORTANT...DON'T QUIT!! BE PART OF THE 12% OF PEOPLE WHO VOW TO BETTER THEIR HEALTH AND SUCCEED--NOT THE 88% WHO FAIL!!! SARGE WANTS A PLATOON OF WINNERS!!!

Sarge's 3 minutes internet time is about to expire! Hang tough troops!

Sarge

Hello everyone.
Man. Rough night on my end. My neighbors have been on a 3 day bender with loud music and drinking. After 9 hours straight of thumping bass I respectfully asked her three times if she could turn her bass down--with no luck. I called the police for a noise violation. They came and the music was turned down. All was well, or so I thought. I got an email last night of what she posted on facebook. "My fat ***** neighbor just called the cops on me." And then she and her friends went on to make fun of me for being overweight. Believe it or not, this woman is 30 years old, not 12.
At first I was sad.
Now I'm just motivated. I have to study for a few hours first...but I'm going to KILL it at the gym tonight. She can make fun of me for being fat, fine. I'm fixing that. When I'm at goal she's still going to be ignorant and stupid. Sorry for the rant...I just need some no excuse love right now!!

"She can make fun of me for being fat, fine. I'm fixing that."

that line is truly inspirational and made me realize a lot about what I need to do for myself. :hug:
