I stayed on track today with about 1950 calories. I also did another WATP 2 mile video. Woohoo! I'm so going to kick TOM in the rear end this week. I'm hoping for a decent loss. Slow but steady wins the race.

I missed my workout. :-\

I workout every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday with classes at my school's rec center. I take Step and Kickboxing classes for the most part and also some core and strength stuff.

I'm in grad school, and I worked really hard all weekend on a paper that was due this morning so I was tired. I got through the day- worked 7 hours, went to class and had a few meetings, and I just couldn't go to the gym for my class tonight. I felt pretty run down and just plain horrible,l but now I'm just feeling plain guilty.

What do you do when you miss a workout? I'll try to get one in tomorrow, but my Wednesdays are long days as I work all day and have a night class.

Help keep me accountable!
Grad School wow, well I am impressed. This is a great place to post your food, exercise, to get receipe ideas and support. It is Red team only so we are all in the same boat. If you didn't hear the Red Team has WON our first weigh in. So we are off to a great start.

Again welcome,
A

nbrown7384 - When I miss a workout I do one of two things. Either I just forget about it and move on, or I try to make up the lost time in the rest of my workouts that week. Usually if I miss a workout for what I would consider a legitimate reason (and I would consider your situation to fall into that category) then I would just move on and not worry about it, though I might try to eat a bit lighter the next day (say knock off 150 calories or so). If I just miss it because I was being lazy, or I decided to go goof off instead of working out, then I try to reclaim the lost workout time throughout the rest of the week, but I never carry missed workouts into the next week. Each week starts fresh.

To all the rest of our Red Team Keep up the good work!!

Happy Saturday everyone! Well to be honest my calorie intake is really low today due to a lack of food in the house and payday isn't until Wednesday. Don't get me wrong there is food, but not food for me to be eating to stay on plan. Anyways, I did a last chance workout today since tomorrow morning is my weigh in time. I did 20 mins of stretching and strength training followed by the WATP 2 mile video. I am SO proud of myself no matter what number I pull tomorrow because I actually walked 6 miles this week!!!! Who knew? NOT ME!!!

hi...

I've been kind of out of the loop this week so I only just noticed this thread. It's great how well everyone has been doing!

I've managed to do pretty well myself. I've been eating pretty good and will have exercise 5/7 days. I was going for 6/7 but 5 days is better than what I was doing a month ago.

So keep up the good work everyone.

Okay, I haven't posted in a while, so I'll do a quick recap of the weekend.

Friday - Total calories 1215, exercised for 90 minutes burning 657 calories.

Saturday - Total calories 2170 ( ), exercised for 50 minutes burning 359 calories

Sunday - Total calories 1871 ( ), exercised for 120 minutes, burning 713 calories

So for the whole week I averaged 1596 calories consumed per day ( ), and I exercised an average of 357 calories burned ( ). According to calculations I should have lost 1.01 pounds and I ended up losing 1.2, so I'm pretty happy with my results.
