First two days went well!!! The exercise was good, drank tons of water, and the food made it right around 1500 calories.

Way to go everyone that stayed on plan yesterday!!!!

- it's totally a challenge for me when my family is involved. I didn't eat anything off plan, just waaaaayyyy too much of everything- I basically grazed from 10am till 7pm and soda.... oh soda
yeah- I'm taking a pause for yesterday.... 500 calories in soda alone- and that's only three sodas!!! I definitely need to nip that habit

positive note- I still worked out

2 of 3 pauses left

Day 2 of 21

1. No soda
2. Stay under 1500 calories
3. Active at least 20 mins a day

Stayed OP yesterday! Used a new workout video for the first time, and it definitely worked me hard! I thought I would be missing soda, but I just ask myself if I really want to spend so many calories on it, and it is all I need to keep away from it. I continued with the couch to 5k program and am running week 2 this week. Today is a rest day, so I will walk instead.

Day 1 is a success! Didn't feel like going to the gym, so I did 30DS instead. Was down 0.4 on my weigh - in, which isn't a lot, but for the amount of crap I ate this weekend I'm just glad it wasn't a gain.

1. 1200 to 1400 cal. a day
2. 20 min of exercise a day
3. 8 glasses of water a day

Day 1 of 21

I need to exercise!!!

Day #3 OP.

- Ate around 1400 calories
- Walked a mile
- Drank 8+ glasses

However I drank diet soda again. At least it's 0 calories. Hmpf.

Day 2 check. I was super sore and tired from yesterdays training session. When I got home I made something to eat which I thought would just be a snack, then headed to the gym. I worked out and felt great afterward that I decided not to eat anything else. All that hard work will not be for nothing.

I'm proud of myself for sticking to this....and not caving in when one of my kids at school asked if I wanted one of the cookies he had made for his cooking class final. He's an AMAZING baker and wants to go to culinary school eventually. It was tough, but they had nuts in them and I don't like walnuts, so it was easier to turn him down. LOL So, close call

I'm jumping on a few days late, but I'm going to use yesterday as my starting day.

1. 1600 - 1800 calories per day
2. Walk at least 5 miles per week (gym or outside)
3. Go to the gym at least 3 to 5 days per week

I was out of town Sunday and Monday in graduation/in-law land where food is high in everything and oh-so-bad for you. Yesterday, though, I was totally on target. 1676 calories, 1 mile/22 minutes on the treadmill plus upper body weight machines. SOOO sore but totally looking forward to going back to the gym today!

ETA: Day 2 at the gym complete. Bout to throw some Wii Fit yoga in for fun, too.

Day 2 - SUCCESS!!!

Day #4

- Ate 1320 calories
- Drank 8+ glasses of water
- Walked 25 minutes

I still drank diet soda. I like having a cup with dinner. :/ I'm going to the gym tomorrow. Woo! It feels good to be back OP!
