Happy New Year!! sweet, Shad!!!

[Ashley103]

Finished day 5.

I'm off to spend a week's vacation in Seattle with some of my family. They eat way too much rich food, so I'm sure my calorie count will suffer; but, on the plus side, they get a lot of exercise. We're planning to go into the mountains for a couple days to play in the snow. My daughter-in-law has only seen snow once before in her life, so she's really excited about the trip.

I'll be back in a week and ready to jump back into the 21-day challenge.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe New Year's.

day 4 - Counting calories - good - Level 3

day 4 - Exercise everyday - good - level 3

Happy New Year everyone! It's not here for us yet, but it is hard to believe that another year has gone by. Seems the older I get, the faster the years go. Wish it would slow down instead.

Looking forward to seeing everyone back on here for the new year!

Hi
I'm just getting back into things here and I like the sound of your challenge.
May I join in please?

welcome chaarli!!! just go to the first page and check out how the challenges work and decide on your goals.

I weighed myself this morning and did all my measurements. Would you believe another pound crept on? And this is despite a light dinner and no PM munching. Things are definitely tracking in the wrong direction, guess it's just one of those fluctuations. I'm not going to let it worry me too much

Lovely and sunny this morning but I had a bad night’s sleep. Didn’t get to sleep until near 3am and then the dogs barked at 430am at some motorbikes that came down the street so not exactly bright eyed and bushy tailed. I am starting the day with my water and lemon juice. After that … we’ll see! And then I should finish mowing lawns. yuck

Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!

Ashley have a great holiday

My goals are pretty simple.
I'm not going to follow a set "diet" but work on making sensible choices.
I am going to try and limit my bread servings as I tend to put fat onto bread.

I am only going to weigh once a week. This is going to be my biggest challenge as I just can't seem to keep away from my scales but i know I have to.
If I lose weight I tend to be more relaxed about food choices and then tend to put on.

I want to try not to eat anything after 7.30 pm at night and if I do have something it will have to be a low cal WW snack.
I'm already exercising 30-40 plus minutes a day so I guess I'll just up the intensity.

I also want to increase my water intake as I've been slack about that and seeing as it's Summer here it's even more important.

Hi chaarli. Welcome aboard!
Did you read the very first post in the thread where the rules and guidelines of the challenge are explained? Please do if you haven't.
It looks from the sounds of it that you are readying a three-way challenge; no eating after 7:30, more exercise, more water. Are these to be three separate challenges or one mega-one, which means, if you don't accomplish one of the three elements you have to take a pause or restart with your count to 21. Recently, it seems most people are splitting them up. I tried all at once for a while but found it too discouraging.
Also what level are your challenges.
That reminds me, my new juice challenge and no booze are gonna have to be threes. I just am too chicken to say anything more than that.
I'm going to be starting up a new thread soon. Stay tuned!
