Okay, here is my midweek check in. I am doing great with my water this week. Have hit the 100 oz each day so far. Still not exercising, but I am developing a plan that I think I can make actually work. The idea of joining Bally's or another gym just doesn't seem to be something I can do right now. But I have plans to get a room cleaned this weekend and get the treadmill in there and operating. I think I am setting myself up to reasonably expect to get regular exercise in. I still firmly believe I can do this!

I was up a lb after my weekend away, but I seem to have dropped that lb. So I am still a STS as far as this challange goes. Maybe I can drop 1 or 2 lb before Sunday's WI so I can earn a few points.

Make every bite count ladies!

Well, here is my mid-week post for this challenge. Although I've gained 3 more pounds since Sunday's weight in, this challenge for me will last longer then just 4 weeks. Every single day, I will challenge myself to keep it up.
Tonight, I will try to do my jogging at home on the treadmill. I will go walking today at lunch time as usual. I may have already lost the opportunity to gain a point for my goal of not binging and exercising, since I've been binging but I can still continue to exercise as usual to stay fit and healthy.

The important thing is that I'm back on my feet now ready to eat healthy again and continue to work on my fitness goals!

I did not post mid-week of last week, I did not post Monday and here I am today. School papers and projects have just been overwhelming. I lost one of the 2 lbs. that I gained on Monday of last week. I don't know how many pts. I have or don't have. I have been off schedule. I will try to start with next month's challenge and pull myself back together.

Oh I thought I posted. ...maybe I did in another thread??? Anyway, things are up now, they were down earlier, but all is back on track now, even thou I made homemade donuts - I only ate two and they were within my plan. So hopefully, I won't gain back the 3 lbs lost. I think I'll be okay. Hopefully, I may even lose another pound??? Water intake is okay, but I'm not meeting my goal. I thought for sure that I would. ...

well, my midweek check in is more like weekend! Anyway, I am not doing well...I guess thats why I haven't wanted to post...well, tomorrow and monday are the end of the challenge, and I will post the winner by weeks end

Good luck everyone!!!

Will we continue into May?

Well, on April 16 I was at 5 points

I earned 1 point for mid week check in on April 19 and another midweek check in on April 26 Add 2 points!

I did not earn any points either week for goals because I did not exercise 3 times per week. I did however meet my water goals, so that is a positive for me!

Weigh In yesterday was 183, which was a 2 pound loss!! Add 2 points!

I am assuming this is the last check in for the April challenge, so I am giving myself 5 points for making it to the end!

That gives me a total for the April challenge of 14 points!! Yay!

great job Sharon! I unfortunatly stayed the same this week which is better than I had antisipated. WI at 228.

I previously earned 6 points.

This week was a week to get back on plan. All those 3 pounds I had gained, I lost back. So today, I weight the same as I weighted in last week. So my points are still to 0 for weight loss, but I am still trilled to be back down.

Goal wise for this week, I unfortunately had been binging because I stressed out too much. So I did keep up the exercise part of the goal, but not the no binging. But that's okay. 0 points.

I did post twice for this week, giving me 1 point.

This is the end of the challenge, and although I've had a difficult time in the last 2 weeks, I still didn't give up and motivated myself back on plan.
Earned 5 points for sticking with the challenge in good and bad times.

Total of 12 points.
