I am drinking so much water. But, I'm full of energy and hopeful!

My challenge to myself is to continue having the willpower to meet my goals. (especially after that Dorito dream I had last night. LOL) I woke up craving them. Aching for Doritos. I had a piece of cheese instead.

Doing good on the challenge. Crunches done and the water is never a problem. Maybe I will think of something other than water for next week.

Are we going to continue this each week??????????

Two days down,,, two to go! (for me anyways)

Yes, Marti, we need it each week! So glad you thought if it!

Yay for all of you who are making the effort and doing all you can do!

I am doing so well! I have been doing WW points but with more protein than I usually ate in the past. I really can tell the difference in my energy level and love the fact that I don't get hungry between my scheduled eating times.

As you guys know, it has been very hard for me lately to stay OP for 3 consecutive days, but I DID IT!!! Well, okay, technically the day isn't over yet, but I know I'll be fine.

I got out a picture of myself that was taken in Walt Disney World last May, and hung it on the fridge. (Not a pretty sight, trust me). Hopefully this will be an eye-opener when I feel like pigging out!

See you tomorrow,
Jana

Hi Ladies,

I didn't realize we were going to post everyday, oopsie! I was thinking at the end of the week.

Well, I haven't been doing so good with the challenge. I have tried though. I have come down with a cold and haven't felt much like exercising the last two days. Of course I drink most of my water when I am exercising so that hasn't been so great either. But I have gotten some exercise and water this week so that is an improvement. I will definitely try harder next week.

I have been eating right so that counts for something. Today was my weigh in and I am down 2.5 pounds, YIPPEE!

Jana, I did the same thing except I put a picture along with my goals and a chart on the kitchen cabinet and the bathroom door for all to see. I wrote next to the picture, "I don't want to look like this next year" it is working I must say. The kids and hubby have read what I typed and posted and if I go in the kitchen after dinner or get something I shouldn't have they remind me of my goals-I need that!

Marti, thanks for starting this and yes I do hope we continue this each week. I agree with Jana-I think we need this each week!

Hey there-

Well my week of doing four days of abs is done!! I can say I accomplished it and feel good that I did!! Water has never been a problem... (as I sit here drinking egg nog! ) So next week I will stick with something else besides something that I always do.

Now remember ladies--- with this challenge... you don't have to do it everyday! Just get yourself started to make it a habit. And as the weeks go by and then we can start making what ever our challenge is into an everyday thing. Does that make sense? That is why I chose to do abs only 4x's this week.

I'm going to enjoy my weekend... try and fit in some more crunches....and think of what I want to do for next week.


Take Care
Marti

Hi ladies,

I am going out be out of town through Sunday night, so I weighed in today. I'm down 2 pounds!!

The water has been easy, but the exercise hasn't.

Some days are easier than others, don't you think so?

Toodles,
Jana

Yes Jana, I have to agree-some days are easier than others. But why is that? CONGRATS on your loss! WTG
