Good morning ladies...

Got my walk in this morning, 1.59 miles, just had to round that off. :lol:

Will post later this evening to say if I have day 2 down completely. Working on the water and have to finish my exercise. Today is just a one mile walk, which I went over a little, and I have to ride the exercise bike and do weights.

Total miles walked--11.50
Miles to go--38.50

Day 2 down, 19 to go!
 

Okay, it's a thumbs up to having day 2 down! :cheer: :carrot: :cheer: I did get in the rest of my exercise, vitamins and water are all a done deal to, until tomorrow that is. :p

Hi! yesterday was day 9
1575 cals
9 glasses of water

Now that I am not craving coke and reaching for water instead I feel guilty--Cristi- you have your exercise and Katy you're counting calories --I feel like I need to add something!!

It's ok Jules - the coke withdrawal is enough to focus on for 21 days...then you'll find something else! :)

Yesterday Day10
2100 cals (ugh - baking day)
9 glasses of water


...and off I go to the gym!

Good job ladies! :carrot:

JULES...ditto what Katy said! It is hard enough to quit coke...I think that is one thing that would be the hardest for me to do. Of course when I first started trying to get my water drank and my vitamins taken it was hard for me. But slowly everything fell into place and it will for you. Then you can pick something else.

Day 11
1600 cals
11 glasses of water

:)

I am going to bust on the water I drank over 100 oz yesterday and have already got 40 oz down so far this mornig---gotta run..literally...

Day 1 in the works
 

Good job ladies! :bravo:

I'm thinking a challenge isn't for me after all! I don't know what's wrong with me...I know what I need and should be doing but yesterday I just flat out refused to do anything for some reason. I only had one bottle of water, didn't bother to take the vitamins or walk. Going to try and do better today, but thinking I won't do the challenge. I think I always set myself up for failure when I do a challenge, or this type of challenge anyway. I think challenging myself to lose a pound a week would be easier than this.

I don't know how you ladies drink so much water! I feel like a drowned rat when I have just the four bottles! :lol:

Have a good day ladies!

Cristi, it's alright. Probably the reason I haven't started yet either. So much goes on around home and stuff that thinking about doing something everyday for 21days....doesn't quite work for me..............yet. (soon though I hope)

I'm hoping that once I'm settled at work in the new building (Monday) that I can possibly get myself on track and be more disciplined.

For the gals that who are staying on track...Keep up the great work! I'm proud of you. And I hope to eventually join you as soon as I'm out of my slump.

Cristi--you have been sick and if it's the flu that everyone here has it takes a while to get out of your system

Marti--you've got a lot going on in your life right now without adding anything extra

Katy-great job

As for me--I needed something to motivate me and get my mind off being depressed at turning 40 and the whole empty nest thing!!

Day 12
1600 cals
11 glasses of water

Have a great day everyone!

Thanks Marti & Jules :hug:

Marti...you've got so much going on and I know once you are settled it will be better for ya. Stress is a killer!

Jules...I don't know if it was the flu, but still feeling the effects from whatever it was. I'm thinking it was some kind of virus though as the last two days it's been something with my stomach. That I and just flat out don't feel like doing anything right now. So maybe in a week or so I will jump back on the challenge bandwagon.

Katy...WTG! You are doing an awesome job!

As are you Jules with the water. I know I will never be able to drink as much as you ladies do and that's okay. For me 4 bottles is good and definitely way better than nothing at all. I've never cared for water.

Keep up the good work ladies! :bravo:

I have been drinking 4-5 20 oz a bottles a day and sometimes more, but not often. I am beginning to think that instead of being hungry I have been thirtsy for years. I weighed myself on Thursday after stopping Eve's curse and I am up to a nine pound loss. I couldn't believe my eyes. I should have figured that the ending of my love affair with the red can would show some results. Today is Day 1 of the Sonoma diet, I finally finished the book and am ready to start. No fruit for the next ten days will be a killer, but if I can give up coke, I can do this. I love apples and oranges and bananas and pineapple and the list goes on..... the bananas will have to wait a long while to be added back in.:(

What a great thread and idea (whoever thought this up.. you are a genius).

Since it is 8:30 pm.. my day ONE will be tomorrow. My goals (yikes, plural) are to log my food into fitday every single day and to do my abs tape every single day.

It sounds easy, but I have a tendency to skip on the fitday (especially if I have a bad day.. like pretending they didn't happen.. ha ha, maybe that is why I can't seem to lose any darned weight) and even though that ab tape is only 10 min long, I absolutely despise it.

But on the plus side.. I would really love to actually enjoy my pool this summer and wear a bathing suit that isn't covered by a shirt. Or a bathing suit period, half of last summer I spent sitting on the sidelines fully clothed if my son had friends over (why I would be embarrassed in front of an 8 yr old is beyond me.. but I am)

So, expect me back tomorrow, I can't wait to get started.
