You're in good company, Becky-- I went over my calorie allotment today, as well. No worries, though; I had a lot more energy compared to yesterday, and maybe 1,300 cal a day is too harsh a reality for my body to accept... In any case, good luck with the "scale god". :)

Stats for today:

-60 minutes of cardio
-1550 calories (It was all good...)

Cheers to all!

Today's going to be a great day!

1. It's Friday.
2. I'm in control.
3. I'm seeing my results for the day in advance. I will exercise (Tai Chi class & gym) and I will eat right.

Ok, time to take action and go to the gym.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Had a good workout this morning, did back and chest and some shoulders... It's a lot in one session for me but it's only the second time I make it to the gym this week... I hate when life gets in the way and I can't make it to the gym :mad:

Tomorrow I have plans to jog in the AM, get my mom to dye my hair, do house work, yadda, yadda, boooring stuff... I will try my darndest to stay focused this weekend, we have no plans so it should be easier... but then I eat because of boredom, there's no happy medium is there:faint:?

Did yoga and rode the stationary bike this morning. My eating has been pretty healthy and just barely inside the calorie limit. Tomorrow is my "official" weekly weigh-in day. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This is the beginning of the weekend, however. I'm not going to blow it this time! I WILL keep to my goals!

Heya... I've only got one minute to spare this evening, so here goes:

-60 minutes of cardio
-1675 calories (...)

I'll report again on Sunday. By the way, I'll be going out to dinner tomorrow, so please, please wish me luck and self-control. (Or, whatever-- I'll live.:p )


Looks like everyone's doing swell. :)

cheers,
elizabeth

I can't seem to get to fitday this week so I don't know my calorie counts but I have managed to get extra walking in each day and the scale is behaving very evenly.
Now if I could just wedge a little weight lifting inbetween things ...

Here's to a great weekend!

1. I'm in control.
2. I'm going out for a walk now and burn some calories
3. I'm going to have a great weekend. (It's too hard to start over again, and I want that scale to move downward.)
4. I had a great week. Yay!!

Good luck, Featherweights. We can do this together!
Dena

Today is the 24th, right? So I did half and half with the challenge. I have walked each day but my food has not been good.
The scale is stuck but that's better than going up, right?

Ok then ... if I can stay this active and watch my food ... the scale will go down, right? On to the next challenge!

I'm stuck, too, Susan, but it's a beautiful fall day and I don't care. I think I'll take a cue from you and Dena and do some walking today. I'm going to my niece's birthday party, so I'll have to be careful.

Elizabeth - hope you maintained on your dinner out. If not, I hope it was worth it.

Heh... no, I didn't maintain; yes, it was worth it. No regrets.

Stats for this week:

- cardio: 160 minutes (goal was 180)
- strength training: 1 session (goal was 3...)
- # of calories consumed per day: ca. 1500- with the exception of yesterday (goal was 1300)

cheers!:)
