Here we go ladies, round 2 of the 5 day OP challenge! Lets kick this week's butt and get our eating under control!!
Same drill as last time:
The challenge is to stay on plan for 5 days, starting Monday ending Friday. Post in here with whether you are on plan each day by editing your post, and telling us if you made it or not!
This week i want to try and stay under 1500 calories again, and drink my 8 cups/3 water bottles a day
Monday: On plan 1428/1500 calories, 2/3 water bottles drunk
Tuesday: Off plan probably around 1800/1500 calories >.<, but 3/3 water bottles drunk so thats good. Moving on to a new OP day
Wednesday: On plan 1328/1500 calories, 2/3 water bottles drunk
Thursday: On plan 1487/1500 calories, 2/3 water bottles drunk I may have eaten a little over that, i had to do some guestimations, but i went to the gym and had a good run so its probably not going to be a huge problem at all
Friday: On plan so far 1431/1500 calories, 1/3 water bottles drunk, a tad low

I love this thread! Last week i did so well. Monday isn't for another 10 hours here but i'll go ahead and sign up . My goals for the week are : under 1500 cals (7500 /week) , and 230 minutes of exercise (about 45 min/day). Here's to a great week everyone.
Monday: Not the greatest day food wise-1587 cals and L1-D6 Shred (20), ellipt. (15), walk (10) = 1587/7500, 45/230
Tuesday: 1600 cals, 3187/ 7500. L1-D7 Shred (20) 75/230
Wednesday: 1550cals 4737/7500. L2-D1 shred (20) 95/230
Thursday:1678 cals 6415/7500, 95/230 Not OP at.all.
Friday: not working out , not op
Results: 2lbs lost! Maybe i just needed to up my calories for a few days

I'm ready!! This helped me a TON last week...heck, new jean size, so I would say it paid off! It helps that we have so many challenges going on right now...it's really motivating!
Monday: 1673 calories, 144oz of water, 2.5 mile walk
Tuesday: 1604 calories, 120oz of water, Pilates
Wednesday: 1258 calories, 128oz of water, Pilates
Thursday: 3461 calories (boost day), 128oz of water, Pilates
Friday: 1935 calories, 72oz of water, over 3 mile walk - Friday was not great, but I wasn't planning on going out to dinner & going Christmas shopping. At least I was only over 400 calories. Water was low, but we did a ton of walking on top of taking the dogs for a walk today. Tomorrow is a new day to get it right though!

I'm in again too! If I enter in every challenge I can find it will keep me from going off-plan... right?
I need to do some exercise every day, eat around 1500 calories (a bit less or more is not a problem as long as it balances each other out) and drink 1.5 L of water
Monday:
1 hour of aquarobics.
1600 calories (which is okay)
1.5 L of water
Tuesday:
35 min of running
1500 cal
1.5 L of water
Can you say On Plan? :P
Wednesday:
30 min swimming
2000 cal ->
1.5 L of water
Thursday:
10 min of running... 10 min of cycling... that is really it
1300 cal
1.5 L of water
LOL Elwing! That's what I'm hoping. It worked for 7 whole days, so I'm hoping I can keep it up this week! I'm dying for a binge day...how terrible is that!?
I am super excited for another challenge!!!!
My goals this week:
Stay within my points range (21-26 points if I use flex)
Exercise most days of the week.
M: OP! I didn't work out though!
T: Awesome 43 min tae bo workout this morning! Stayed OP all day!
W: 37 min on treadmill! OP!
R: 43 min tae bo and 30DS!! I feel the burn! OP!!!
F: 35 min on treadmill and 30DS and OP! I am soooo sore!
I sure hope this one is better than last week's!!!!
CRAP! I never updated the other one...hopefully I will remember this time.
I want to stay within my calories, eat less junk, and workout at least once!
MONDAY: I stayed within my calories! I did eat two brownies, but they were planned and not spur-of-the-moment. SO OP! TUESDAY: Lovely OP day!!! I am hoping to go for a walk/jog tomorrow morning! WEDNESDAY: It's 9:23pm and I have had a pretty bad day, and I want to binge SO BADLY! SO I came on here to edit this, so that I can write that I was OP today, which will hopefully keep me from binging! So anyways, OP, pretty healthy well-rounded meals, and I walked around 3 miles today! THURSDAY: OP completely! Did have some sake bombs with my sushi...but all together good day! FRIDAY: OP!
WOOHOO, need this help This is a great idea, love how short it is, coincides perfectly with my short attention span and need for instant gratification!
I am so excited about this! This is the kind of additional motivation I need to stay on track.
My goals are to stay at 32 Weight Watcher's points per day, to drink 8/8 oz servings of water a day, walk 15 minutes atleast 3 of the 5 days (just starting to exercise) and journal every bite I eat.
Mon: 26points eaten (6 left for dessert or bedtime snack) 3 out of 8 glasses of H20, did drink other diet sodas, journaled everything, didn't exercise. :-) As close to OP as I've ever been.
Tues:
Wed:
Thur:
Fri:
Not that anyone else added this but I'll throw it out there...my reward for staying on plan for 5 days will be a new necklace and earrings. (I traditionally awarded myself food oriented treats in the past) A store near me is having a 50% off the lowest marked down price on on their summer jewelry. We're talking cute but costume jewelry. I bought 3 necklace/earring combos last Monday for vowing to stick with my healthy eating makeover. I spent $13.00 total on some really cute stuff!!

Alright, my first 5 day challenge. I don't know if I'll be able to update here every day because I'm supposed to be working on a big paper for school, but it will really help me to write down these goals.
Goals..
-Cut down smoking so that I will be totally quitting soon. This means keeping making the new pack I bought today last until the end of Thursday, and that includes any I give away.
-NO snacking on junk food while studying/writing papers
-eat more vegetables
-no junk food (pizza, chips, anything deep fried, fatty sauces, candy)
I haven't been around all weekend, so I didn't even get to finish out the week last week. Here we go for week 2
This week, I want to stay under 1600 calories, gym at least 3 times and either 30 minutes of walking or bike the days not at the gym.
Monday: OP!! Just under 1600 calories and 30 minute walk after my dentist appointment
Tuesday: OP!! 1450 calories for the day, 30 minute walk and I even ran for about 10 minutes
Wednesday: OP!! 1543 calories for the day, 35 minutes on the elliptical and some weights at the gym
Thursday: OP!! 1520 calories for the day, 20 minutes on the bike and 15 minutes on the elliptical at the gym.
Friday: OP!! 1547 calories for the day, 45 minute walk
So, I only made it to the gym twice throughout the five days instead of the 3 times that I wanted to....but I went to the gym both days over the weekend, so that made up for it. I had a lot of meetings after school at work this week, even on a freaking Friday afternoon!! haha
I'm in again! I started the Abs Diet for women today, and I'm already hanging on for dear life in anticipation of my cheat dinner on Saturday (I'm going out for a REAL date, with my boyfriend, to a restaraunt that doesn't have a kids menu or lollipops!)
So, my goals for this week:
-No calorie counting, follow the 12 powerfoods rule and let the food guide my consumption
-Gym: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
-Therapy on Wednesday
-Be kind to myself
Sunday: Woot! On plan!
Monday: On Plan! Great workout, stupid busy at work. I musta walked 10 miles.
Tuesday:
Wednesday:
Thursday:
Friday:
Saturday: Cheat meal!
