Good Morning! Just checking, it's early, I try on the weekends to keep close to the same hours as during the work week. It makes it easier for me come Monday morning. Tomorrow is a no school day for MLKJ day, and I'm planning on getting an extra workout in, since it'll just be the kids and I here. It is always harder for me to workout when DH is home. In a few hours it will be time for me to watch football!

I am not going to allow myself to just munch mindlessly like I did yesterday during the Seahawk game!

I am doing so badly this weekend. I have had several cookies and last night I just pigged out at my grandparents. I didn't even do this bad over the holidays. I did walk this morning with the pooch for 1 hour but I feel like I have completely negated it with my eating. I need work to keep on schedule and tomorrow I have off!!!!!!But another long walk with the dog and maybe some NordicTrack will help me get back on track.

I have to remember this is part of my pattern. I do well for a while and then slip back into old ways. I have no choice I am technicaly obese. I am so obese that I qualified for a study. My BMI is 31. Time to take the reverse anorexia goggles off. It may be time for a picture. That will snap me out of it.

Goodmorning!!

I weighed myself today and (drumroll please!)

I lost 4lbs!!!

Now how do I move my darn ticker??

Nancy

Hello everyone! Hope your weekends were good. Ours was not too bad, even though the Bears did terribly. We had the family over yesterday so I definitely need to get back op this week. Good thing WI was Sat. (no up, no down)

Amanda I am totally up for any kind of challenge - I need something to kick me in the butt. And speaking of - I'm going to head out for a quick walk.

Happy Monday everyone,

Amanda, I'm sorry you had a bad weekend, I can relate. I find it so hard to stay op when the family is home, our meals are at odd times and company arrives. I'm like you if I slip a little I'll end up slipping a lot. But I've told myself it's not a failure if I overindulge, you simply get back on track the next morning. We're worth it.

Joined Curves this morning, they weighed me. According to their scale there's no change this week. They recommend 3 workouts per week and have told me not to weigh myself for the next 4 weeks!!! How am I going to manage that feat. I guess I'll try my best but my new scale from Sears will be in tomorrow.

Nancy - congrats on the 4 lbs

Anyways back to my bookkeeping.

Have a great day everyone.

My Steelers and my Seahawks won! Happy Dance

Aww my eating SUCKED though this weekend! I'm back on track today.

Nancy- Congrats on the 4 lbs, I'll go change the group ticker in a little bit. To change your ticker, you click on it, make a new one, and then go change your signature from the old url to the new one.

Dawn- I don't think I could go 4 weeks without weighing. I need the accountability of a weekly weigh in!

Amanda- It's MONDAY we need to set a challenge!

How about at least 30 minutes of cardio exercise at least 3 days this week?

Group Ticker updated with Nancy's -4lbs! We ROCK!

Alright I added in my extra 30 minutes of cardio this afternoon. I love no school days!

30 mins of cardio 3 times a week sounds good to me.

I don't think I can go without weighing myself either. Its going to be tough but I'll try and do it. Seems like a long time away though.

Have a great night.

Dawn

Jan 16 -Jan 22 Challenge
Cardio at least 30 minutes at least 3 times a week
For every 30 minutes add one to your post .

I did horrible eating today again. Fine for breakfast but I had lunch with my mom and we ordered delicious brushetta. But dinner will be better and I go back to work tomorrow so I know I can keep on plan at work. I broke down and bought 2 new pair of pants at Old Navy (5.00 a pair) one is a size 16 and one and 18. The 18 is still fitting better so that was it was a good dose of anti reverse anorexia medicine for me.

Way to go Nancy How are your girls doing?

I have 5 days to move the scale!!!I can do it!!!!!!!!I have to get off my a**. Nordic Track here I come.

Amanda

Just to be clear on the challenge, it's at least 30 minutes of cardio at least 3 times this week. That's the general challenge. For me since I'm already working out 5 to 6 days a week, I am going to add in at least 3 "extra" 30 minute cardio workouts on top of my regular workouts.

So today is:

30 minutes!!!!on the Nordic Track despite the baby going to sleep at 9:30.

Amanda

30 minutes this morning for me running/walking before work! Now I need some caffeine.

Good Morning! I did my workout this morning, which included 30 minutes of cardio, but since it's my scheduled workout and not "extra." I'm not counting it towards the challenge.

I also need my caffeine now.

I have jury duty today, so I'm not sure when I'll get to check back in.

Michelle, you are such a show off I tell you what do the :carrott: for the extra cardio and do a for your regular, 30 minutes of cardio. Maybe once I get my 3 I'll add a for anything above and beyond I do.
