Okay I blew it and am going to start over on the challenge. I ate out a bunch more after I pledged not to. SIGH!
OKay new challenge - not as difficult..
1. 64 fl ounces of water a day
2. Eating out no more than 2 times in the week (Mon- Sun)
3. Gym at least 4 times this week ( Mon- Sun)
4. 30 crunches at least 4 times a week.
Happy Sunday! I've gotta post quick today because I'm writing 2 papers & studying for exams...I've dropped 2.5 more pounds this week - not thrilling, but I'll take it none the less!
Day 4 (yesterday)
Workout done &
Everything tracked in my diary
Day 5 (today)
Workout done &
Everything tracked in my diary (assuming I stick to my plan!)
Ok, it's Monday and I've got to get back on track!
Day 11 - Exercise - good - 1 pause left
Today is day 1 for counting calories. I've really got to get serious here once again. The stress here really has not stopped, but I've got to deal with things and not let my emotions make me eat.
Elerine, the dessert part can be fruit, sweet, sweet grapes or watermelon or cheese, not "nothing." I stayed off refined sugar for a year at a time, several times. You CAN do it!
Shy, sounds like you've got a great husband!! Has he ever been to Tokyo?
Well it sure is good to be back! I would like to join the 21 day challenge. I have already committed to losing 5lbs by the end of the month. I will think it over and decide my challenge by thursday. That will give me 21 days til the end of the month.
My son thats out by you, will be home mid Nov. You are right, you should meet up. He still has another year there. I don't think he has enjoyed it as much as I did. Maybe his memories will grow fonder as he gets older.
My oldest son is in Everette, WA. I am going out to see him and his wife and my perfect grandbaby in January. I can't wait!
Heh granny! Welcome back! Love that moving avatar, by the way. Look forward to seeing you on the thread regularly again. It's been a long time! And definitely let me hook up with that young sailor of yours!
OK, I am ready to begin and just had to re-read the whole pause concept. I think I have it down. Some of my things are not daily, so the pauses will be necessary for a few.
I'm doing Bob Greene's phases in the Best Life Diet and will need to make my goal 4 weeks (28 days) instead of 21, as he suggests for his plan. I hope it's all right to do that because I want to follow his phases exactly and I can only weigh in every month at first (after 4 weeks) so it all coincides.
So, here's the first phase and the first things I'm committing to:
1.) 6 servings of water EVERY day (no pauses)
2.) 3 exercise sessions weekly with a total of 90-150 minutes (this means 4 pauses during a typical week)
3.) 3 meals & 1-2 snacks daily (no pauses)
4.) No eating two hours before bedtime (no pauses)
5.) No alcohol within the first phase (no pauses)
6.) Omega-3 supplement daily (no pauses)
7.) Multivitamin daily (no pauses)
8.) 500 mg. extra of calcium daily (no pauses)
I'll be back tomorrow morning with a full check-in.
Oh and, CONGRATULATIONS, Shy!
