Back with my mid-week check in. Drinking my water, and thinking about exercising. Now if I could just get the rest of me to line up with the thinking then the exercise might happen. I still do my 15 min. walks on my breaks at work, but I have stubborn fat and I know that it takes more to move it.

ok,
I haven't posted recently, in part due to my not quite understanding how to chart my points. My starting weight was 194, I'm back to 190 now. I got my weekly walk in last week and have gone on a short one this week (not sure if I should count it or not). I have failed to do my 8 minute work outs but am doing good at eating pretty close the 3 hour mark and am now working on balancing the food groups/calories.
So this week I am doing ok, no weight loss yet, I really need to focas on those exersises and food portioning.

midweek post
 

Seems more or less everyone is stickin to their goals, except me.. maybe i shouldn't have put excercising as my goal coz i can eat on plan and drink the water and eveything.. its just the excercise that i have trouble with at the moment since i have so much work to do.. I also just started a new course which is Macroeconomics so my load has increased, besides i love economics so i'll probably spend all my free time reading articles and searching about things that interest me in the course..i can't help myself.

Anyways, i think i'll change my goal for next week.

Keep up the good work everyone.

Cheers,
Em

Don't worry Emma, I am not doing well with my excersizing either. I am just not motivated to move! The weather is getting better so maybe I will come out of my slump... I leave for Baltimore tomorrow night...so I gotta start packing.

Okay, time for my midweek post. I am pretty disappointed in myself. I have NOT stuck to the program at ALL this week. :( No reason, just can't seem to get my act together. I have been drinking my water, so at least I have that going for me. But I have not done any exercise and I have NOT made good choices with my foods. I really have no excuse - just didn't do it. This is how I sabotage myself. I know where I want to get to, but I am ALWAYS taking detours. :mad: It is only Thursday, so I still have a chance to redeem myself for this week. I am NOT giving up or throwing in the towel!

Come on ladies, tell me how great you are doing to inspire me! ;)

I seem to be the same but I am still doing really well with the water and my eating seems to be under control. Results or no I am doing the right thing for me and my body. Slow and steady and for all the right reasons will get me where I need to be.

Reporting in. This week is going much better than last week!!! Hopefully I will at least be back on the plus side of the challenge ..... lol

Sunday will be a hard day to start the week off with and Monday I have a lunch out but I will do my best to watch my portions and what I put in my MOUTH!!!!

Good luck on WI....Phyllis
