Woke up this morning, stepped on the scale...........................Made my mini-goal!!!!! Now I hope I can start working on 130!
I´ve thought about my goals for the next 21 days...they are seperate goals, so that if I mess one up, I can start over with that one, but move on with the others...It´s been really tough trying to make sure that I didn´t mess up one single thing so that I didn´t have to start over (like I did on day 6 the first time I tried).................
Anywho...given that I see tonight through, (which I don´t think will be too tough, because I don´t need to cook dinner for my husband) I can start my new challenges tomorrow.
They are as follows:
1. No chocolate (a big trigger food for me) Level 2
2. No bread (I don´t know if I´m allergic to wheat or what, but I always gain weight when I eat bread...maybe it´s just the extra calories...I don´t know) Level 1
3. 3 L water daily Level 1
4. 30 minutes of activity daily Level 3
5. 10 minutes stretching daily Level 2
I´ll allow myself the pause days, but I have to make them up at the end!!!
Hope everyone is doing well! Keep it up!
--Movinmama! Try clicking on the ticker under my post...I think (hope) it´ll take you to the webpage to make your own ticker!
Thought I was going to have a really bad calorie day yesterday. I was hungry all throughout the first part of the day and managed to make some really bad choices. I ended up making my workout more intense than normal and after that I lost my appetite! No afternoon snack and small dinner. Ended up with a good deficit after all.
MovinMama - good luck on your challenges! It does help to have to be accountable to someone so this could be a good thread for you to jump in on.
Teatree - thanks for the encouragement! I know calorie wise I do ok whether I have a donut or not, I just know that they are bad for me so I try to avoid them. I just really want to make it through this donut challenge this time! I'm workin on it!
ktgk - on that mini goal! That's great!
Shad - enjoy that tropical life while you can (just don't enjoy too much). You'll get back to real life soon and get back on track.
Hope the rest of you are doing well! Have a great day.
Good morning all. Didn't get back in to report last night ,as I went to see DaVinci Code. I did meet all three challenges yesterday, and have a non scale victory to report. . .
FOOD PORN ALERT. FOOD PORN ALERT!
Sorry, but I just had to share. So, went to the movie last night. Despite being totally full from a delicious salad I had for dinner, the popcorn smell at the theater was soooo tempting. However, I did resist, and did not have anything. Hooray!
Welcome to Movingmama. KT - congrats on the mini goal. And to DJ on challenges - you are both doing great. Keep up the good work Teatree. Shad - come on! We will help drag you back onto the wagon.
Ah well. Back to work for me. And then the barn tonight. I hope we have a ride like Monday. Despite missing a week, we had a few moments that were pure bliss. You have to love it.
So, what was I saying about the wagon and being off it
I tell you. Some days . . . So, my goal is to continue the core work, restart the no soda one tomorrow, try and eat sensibly over the holiday weekend, and restart the menu challenge as of Tuesday. Heaven help me.
Oki doki, I think I´ve got this challenge in the bag...
I´ve only got one glass of water to go, dinner is done, more will be exercised when my husband gets home from work.
I did binge pretty bad at dinner, though. I hope I don´t see a change in the scale reading tomorrow because of that...I don´t care, I´m not going to change my ticker. I´ll probably be back to normal within two or three days anyway even if the scale does go up a little.
I'm back in Tokyo. What a runaround. But, it was nice to see the wide(r)-open spaces of Hokkaido. I've been up there quite a lot, usually work related and the hop up there by plane (only a little over an hour) is a lot less time than I spend on trains in a single day (or half a one!) Last night, though, I'd gotten to the airport hours early and since I had a cheap ticket, couldn't change the flight. It worked out though, as there was bad thunderstorms in Tokyo and everything was delayed. Then the delays taking off were made even longer as the Tokyo airport was congested and we had to go into a holding pattern for a while. But, I'm home safely and have seen three of the four cats and all looks well. The other one I think is holed up in the closet, which she does sometimes. Now, I am about to go out and see the horse. It was so nice up in Hokkaido to see all the mares and foals running through grassy fields. It's awful here in Tokyo for horses, no grass turnout anywhere. I wish I had something better for my horse. Oh well, it's not great for me either. As for challenges, I was absolutely disgusted!! to see the shape (shapelessness) of my body. You know how it is when you go to a hotel room or someone else's home and shockingly placed mirrors are there to show you views you normally keep FAR out of sight? Well, that happened to me. Full-length mirror in the shower! EEGADS!!!! I've GOT to do something drastic!!
**************
ktgk -- I'm so glad to hear it sounds like you're going to make it through your challenge. We haven't had many finishers around here and that includes me... Four liters sounds like a lot. I don't think I even drink that much and I drink a lot....of water, I mean .... I think three would still be a great challenge...I mean, you can always drink more if you're sweating up a storm, right?
jolly -- Oh, yes, gym contest, how soon I forget! I am like you, I have been making too many excuses. Yes, I am extremely busy, and for me that means a lot of sitting around in front of the computer. But, still, I don't have to be stuffing food in my mouth. Sure, exercise is the way to take off fat but I could do more. I could haul out the exercise bike, hop on and do a half hour and then go back to working. I will try. I need to do what you're setting out to do as well. Good luck! That is excellent on the theater save!! What resolve! But, what is this next post? Did you have a slipup? Whatever, keep the eyes ahead! You can do it!
dj -- Excellent work! Sounds like you had a stellar day!
movinmama -- Welcome aboard! That sounds like a difficult challenge and an excellent one! Good luck and keep us posted!
Shad -- Losing discipline under the coconut tree?!?! Now, this is starting to sound like some sort of erotic thread or something! Well, I hope you can find the moderation you seek. I have difficulty myself. Good luck!
tea -- Hang in there! Just a bit longer I take it, right? Page numbers are different for everyone, by the way, depending on how you have your user options set up. I have it on the max (40 posts a page) and we're only up to 9. But, if you're on 21, then let it be a wink from the cosmos. You have your eye on the goal!!

Ok, gotta fly! Hello to everyone else! Please come in and say hi!

Hmmm.... would anyone happen to know when exactly Sushi started her new challenge...? Sushi can't remember, and thus doesn't know which day she's on...
Anyhow, the challenge is to not eat or snack after 7 pm (late dinner ok, and it's ok to finish a started meal even if it's 7:05 pm, of course).
Hope everyone is doing well! No time to read up at the moment... I ran away from my temp job today - they let me go because my throat was so sore I couldn't speak anymore... don't want to go tomorrow...
i got back from the south island last night. i really enjoyed my little holiday it was great unfortunately despite lots of walking i have put on weight so now i have to get back into my dieting/exercise
i'm not sure what my 21 day goal will be so i'll have to have a think on that and come back and post when i decide see you all real soon
Hi all. Just a quick post before I head out to the gym. while I had two MAJOR bad choices yesterday, I did have a good save at the end of the day. I was heading home from the barn, and started craving other . Kind of had that mentality that "well, I already blew it for today, might as well make the most of it." Was heading to get more bad stuff. I managed to stop myself, head home, and make the good dinner I had planned. Hurray. Was even able to retire another pair of too big pants, now that I can fit into the smaller ones I have. Yeah.
