Ok,
I havent posted regularly, so so sorry.I have failed misserably up till now

1) starting weight was 194...last week I weighed in 190 (equals 4 points) and this week weighed in at 191 (-1 point), so in this categorie I equal a 3

2) my goals ( failed all prior weeks) this week I'm starting at getting at least 4 cups in each day ( some days I haven't even picked up a cup- oh the head sches I've been having) and to do some form of exercise at least 3 times this week ( walk/tread mill/ or 8 minute exercise)

3) mid week weigh in ( no points on this, I haven't been doing) on Thursday

I really don't believe I lost the 4 pounds, so I am not going to record this week. I will check when I get back home...great job for everyone...keep up the good work!

1st weeks Point: 5 pts
This week, on Sunday, I was up by 1 pound. -1 pts
But I did post my mid-week and my weight in, so +1 pts.
So basically, I'm staying put at 5 pts after 2 weeks.

Now, that Easter is over, it's time to shed some pounds again.

Alright - here is my midweek check in. Easter went fairly well. I didn't eat too much candy, just 1 dessert, small portions of food. Monday was excellent. I did wonderful on food and I exercised and got my water in. A very successful day for me. Tuesday went well until about 6 pm. My son acted up and I got very angry with him. I let the anger carry over and control my eating. I didn't eat junk food, just WAY too much dinner. I also didn't go for my walk because I let my emotions take over. I need to work on this whole emotional part!

Anyhow, I am back and doing well today. I am pushing the water and watching food type and portion. I think I can jump right back on track this time. And all is well with Bobby today also, so we will just turn the page from yesterday.

How is everyone else doing this week?

Well, my weight is still higher then Sunday. But I'm not panicking just yet. I've exercised quite a lot over the long weekend, and I think, I may have more muscles. I checked my measurements, and they are lower then a month ago. And that's impossible with just 3 pounds lost to that weight in. So I'm assuming it may be muscle gain. So although I do not like the weight increase, in the end, it is good. More muscle burns more fat. I'll see on Sunday what my real weight in is and if I've lost any weight this week or gained.

I had a craving last friday for pasta and cheese when ordering from this place. I decided to be good and order a chicken taco salad. Well, I should have ordered pasta and added a chicken breast. The craving was too much so when my girls had their order of pasta, I took a bowl of that as well on top of my salad. So in the end, I have learned that sometimes, it's not good to deny a craving for something. It's a lesson learned.

But I did exercise all 4 days of the weekend to compensate on the overeating on friday, sunday's fondue and chocolate. But I am proud to report I have not binged on chocolate. In fact, I have not binged in quite a while.

Wed nite check in: things are okay, got my water in one day, then about 84 oz tue, and today, I probably only drank about 40 oz!!! Food is OKAY, nothing to brag about, my portions are under control, but I haven't stuck at all to the every 3 hours. I gotta get back with it.!!!! Especially bc saturday I have an 'easter' celebration at my mom's house and she's COOKING!!!

Cathy that is so great. WoW 85 miles how inspiring. Someone kick me in the butt! I need to get out of this funk I am in.

I'm not sure I did a posting here this week so I am just squeezing this one in because I am going to need the point.

My scales are not moving and we leave on our vacation next Thursday so I can't finish this challenge but I had hoped to do better than this.

Oh well, a few more days left....I'll drink my water and be good!!!

This is almost the exact same post I put last weekend. I have to kick my butt now and up my points this week.
1st weeks Point: 5 pts
This week, on Sunday, I was up by 1 pound. -1 pts
But I did post my mid-week and my weight in, so +1 pts.

3) Goal is to exercise 3 times/week and continue my 8MM 6 times/week. No binging, Eat Healthy. 1 pt if I meet goal - 0 pts if I don't.

I did meet my goals the week before, but forgot to count that point. So + 1 points for 2 weeks ago (not this week, I binged last night) for meeting my exercise goals and no binging.

So adding 1 points to my previous 5, brings me up to 6 points for this challenge.

My weigh in for this week.
1) Weigh 130.
2) -1 up 1 lb
3)Goal "to drink my water and lower my salt intake and try to cut down on the diet sodas. +1
4) 0 didnt have time to post during the week.
5) If you are able to make it through the 4 week challenge give yourself +5 points for completing the challenge.

Cheers,
Emma

Total of 4 pts.

3) To drink a minimum of 64oz of water daily. made!
**********
I'm a day late checking in.
My weight stayed the same, and it's ttotm, so if I stayed the same I'm thinking I lost some. I guess we'll see next weekend.
So point wise I think I get a 1 for posting.
So total points so far: 6.
