Round 3 of the 5 Day OP challenge! I find these really helpful for getting my goals in order and staying on track, so i thought round 3 should be started pronto!
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!
My goals this week: 1200-1500 calories a day No fizzy drinks except on Friday and Saturday Stick to the exercise plan!! Drink 3 bottles water a day Be happy!!
Monday Food 1538/1500 calories Fizzy Drinks None! Exercise None, but thats what the plan said (family birthday) Water 2 Bottles, not bad Happiness A tad low
Tuesday Food 1366/1500 calories Fizzy Drinks None! Exercise Didnt go to the gym But i did do 2 hours training, so i was active today Water 3 bottles AND one extra cup! Happiness On the up and up
Wednesday Food 1385/1500 Fizzy Drinks None! Exercise Went to gym, 45 min run, 5.63km Water 3/3 bottles Happiness Pretty good
Thursday Food 1088/1500 (i know this is low, but i think its an under estimation. I had chinese for lunch, and i have little idea how much i should allow for that) Fizzy Drinks None Exercise Training (1 hour) and walking around shopping (4 hours and it was hot!) Water about 4 bottles Happiness Pretty good
Friday Food 1337/1500 calories Fizzy Drinks None! Exercise Swim in the sea (not very much hard work though ) and training for 2 hours Water About 2 bottles i think Happiness Pretty good ^_^

Okay - I dropped out last week but this week I'll be doing better!
I am OP when I have eaten around 1500 calories, exercised (missing one day is not immediately a problem) and drunk 1.5L of water.
Monday:
Calories: Right on track! about 1500
Exercise: 1 hour of aquarobics.
Water: 2 L.
Overall: thumbs up!
Tuesday:
Calories: a little over... I went out and had 5 alcoholic consumptions (4 beer, 1 punch). But exercise compensated somewhat (see below) and I had very lean meals and almost no snacks. I estimate around 1700
Exercise: Moving On Music (basically a fitness class of an hour on music). It was HARD. And dancing my *** of for 2.5 hours.
Water: 1.5L
Wednesday:
Calories: as we speak 1150 (I'm going to eat some more because that is way too low; I guess I'll get 1300 total or so)
Exercise: um, exercise? :P I had a theatre thingy but this time turned out not to be very active, mainly because I was the instructor so I hardly played. I cycled for 30 minutes or so but that's about it.
Water: 2L!
Thursday:
Calories: 1500 or so... I'm not really sure, did not count.
Exercise: 30 day shred
Water: 2L
Friday:
Calories: 1556. I counted!
Exercise: 20 min swimming plus cycling and walking (but I have a bad cold)
Water: as we speak 1l but I plan to drink another 500 ml bottle before I go to bed.

My last OP challenge was a huge success.. I am very worried about this week's though.. Thanksgiving!!!!!EEEEKKK!!!! I will be home for the long weekend and am super nervous. In my years of yo-yo dieting, I have never been able to be successful for thanksgiving! There are so many candies and food lying around the house the entire weekend it is nearly impossible to resist.
Here are my goals for the week:
1. Make extra healthy choices Mon-Wed and do a double work-out Wed night.
2. Make the best possible choices when I am home. (That means not scarfing down the candy dish and cookie platter!)
3. Try to get in a work out when I am home (either fri or sat).
4. Come back as early as possible on Sun to do a workout and eat healthy.
M: OP! I had a great work-out and ate super healthy!
T: OP! Went on the scale and gained .2 lb! I am realllly hoping it is due to TOM. sigh. Did treadmill, 30DS, OP!
W: Stupid TOM... sooo ravenous but I am OP and did tae bo and 30DS (level 1, day 6)
R:
F:
i'm so in again this week! especially with it being thanksgiving, i have to know that i am being held accountable to someone! mt goals for the week:
1. stay completely on plan mon-wed and fri
2. 30ds everyday (including thursday)
3. 4 mile walk w/ leslie sansone at least 3 times (or another workout)
4. my plan for thursday while at my mom's: whole grain flat out wrap made with turkey, lettuce, tom, onion, and cheese, one serving dressing, greens, corn, and one piece of pumpkin pie. that's it, no more.
5. drink lots of water!! (not usually a problem considering it is the only thing i drink)
monday: didn't have a great day no exercise and snacked a bit, not really over doing it, but more than i should have. i think tom is sneaking up on me! drank plenty of water though
tuesday: scale up this morning, hoping it's water weight! stayed on plan today and even enjoyed a piece of apple pie! yum! drank lots of water and did 4 miles with leslie in the am, 2 miles in the evening, and 30ds in evening!
wednesday: scale back down this morning walked 2 miles with leslie in am along with doing 75 crunches and 25 leg lifts each side. finished my day with 4 miles walking with leslie and 30ds. stayed op with eating and drank lots of water!
I'm definitely in again!!! I've really liked having these things ever week to keep me accountable. Here are my goals for this coming week:
Calories between 1500-1700 M-W, F.....Thursday, just making good choices
Gym 3 days out of the week....walking for at least 30 minutes on non-gym days
Drink at least 64 ounces of water each day
