Reason: major typos...using the elliptical and typing is a skill I need to develop.
Angie, it was pure determination. When I am running errands, cleaning house, etc. it is not too difficult to reach my goal of 8000 steps a day, but yesterday I looked at my steps when I stopped working on my Prezi and saw I had only take 3400 steps for the entire day, which for me is just ridiculously low!!! If I had not been doing this challenge, I would have just went to bed. :O)
I would like to join you guys. I've had some serious off track issues, and I really need this thread to get my motivataion back. Thanks, guys. My plan is to stay in range (1200-1400) Cals and exercise everyday. This is day 1.
Today is day 17! I have been doing wonderful, but today I started my period. Which is fine, but I have some really bad cravings going on!! Like really. I usually crave like the week before, but today its just really hit me hard. I know I wont cave, every time I have the urge to I get right on this site on my phone and read some posts and the temptations go right away! So I might be on here a lot for the next few days... Haha! But I'm thinking that's better than a binge for sure. I feel great, besides being super bloated today. Working out today was hard with my severe cramps too, but you just gotta keep pushing forward!
Welcome Tyla! Let's stay motivated together. The more the merrier! When I saw this challenge I felt like it was perfect for me to be accountable and stay on track
KatieBug, you are doing awesome!! Exercising through severe cramps REALLY takes determination! I've done it before and it kills lol.
DAY 3 is complete for me and it was another successful day! Looking forward to tomorrow.
It's great to feel sane again! Angie, thanks for your kind words. Hope you're right. These last 10 lbs. have been brutal. For now, I'm staying off the scale. When it doesn't move, somehow I'm affected by that food-wise. I've been yo-yoing a lot. This challenge should keep me more focused.
