The Great Featherweight One Week Challenge - September 18-24
 

OK, I'll throw out this week's challenge.

I will stick to my calorie budget EVERY DAY!
I will exercise 6x this week
I will go to bed by 11 pm
I will drink green tea every day

I started last week doing pretty well, but fell off on the weekend. I'm going to work on this. So far today I've exercised and kept my eating in line.

I do all but the "bed by 11" part, lol... Where in Texas are you? I'm in Brenham (but no Bluebell for me....)

I have been slacking in every department lately so I need to accept a challenge.

I will walk 6 times this week for at least 20 minutes. I need to eat less ... maybe 1500 cals would do.

And so, for today ... I'm batting .500 ... I did walk but I'm over calories. Better tomorrow? Sure can.

Red Hat - I live in Georgetown, up by Austin. I used to go through Brenham a lot when I lived in Houston & came up here to see my family. I love Bluebell ice cream! I can't eat it, though, or I won't stop.

Count me in....I will have to tweek the days a little...I'll make it the 19th-25th, because it's already 10pm here (I'm accepting a little late in the day).

-I will run 3 times (3-4 miles)
-I will go to kickboxing and "lift" classes (2)
-I will track all of my calories
-I will DRINK at least 64 oz. of H2O everyday

Now is that too much to ask of myself? HA...that's why it's called a "challenge," right?!

Good Luck to everyone....

Count me IN as usual!!

Monday and Tuesday under my belt are good food wise, now 5 days to go... Can I make it to 7 full days on plan?? I sure hope so :tantrum:

Hi, I just joined today-- I hope it's not too late to partake in your challenge...:)

My goals are as follows:

-strength training (3 sessions)
-cardio (180 minutes)
-1300 cal per day

Best of luck to everyone!

cheers,
elizabeth

Welcome Elizabeth! Welcome sassafras! Let us know how you do on your goals. We'll cheer you on.

I've had a pretty good day food wise. Kept to the calorie budget and exercised in the morning. My weight hasn't changed more than 2 pounds up or down for a few weeks now. It's got to give sometime.

Well, I've walked both mornings so far but I can't seem to get my food under control. No matter what I plan in the morning, in the evening I eat until I'm at about 1900 cals ... hmm ...

My goals for the week:

1. Mentally count calories & stop eating when satisfied
2. Exercise every day -This morning I did the weight training circuit. This afternoon is my Tai Chi class.
3. Keep a positive, successful way of thinking. "I can do this!"

Heya, everyone!!

Here's the gist of my accomplishments for today:

- 1 strength training session (ca. 60 min)
- 40 minutes of cardio
- 1,200 calories

Yay! (And NO it wasn't easy.)

Stay tough; stay focused. I'll check back in tomorrow.:)

I haven't even entered my stuff from yesterday into fitday yet! Oi bad nibbling day. However I did walk, work and go see my ailing Mom (she's much better).
A full day and full of bad food choices :)

Today so far:

Breakfast: egg beaters, 5 saltines; lunch: chicken, veggies, peach; dinner: homemade tacos.

I just finished a 1/2 hour aerobic video and went to the gym.

I'm back in control! :)

Yesterday and today are good for me, although I did have 2 granola bars today, I'm still well within my calorie range...

I didn't exercise yesterday but today I am off to jog in a few minutes...

I'm a little over my calories for the day...I hope the scale god won't be too angry in the morning. Did ab work and PT exercises for the leg. I love ab day!
