Day 7 - exercise - good, 2 pauses left, level 3

Day 2 - calories under 1800 - good, 1 pause left, level 1

Had a good day yesterday. I got in a good 50 minutes on my step and wasn't really hungry all day. I actually had to make myself eat a higher calorie dinner than what I had planned just to get above the 1500 calorie mark! Probably because of the heat. It's been running mid to upper 90's for the last 2 weeks. Supposedly it's going to cool down a little by Monday. I sure hope so, I'm ready for a break.


Good job Trob, Sushi, Lucky & Pink! You are all doing so good!

Jolly - Keep up that good attitude! You've already come a long ways in your journey and I know you can do this!

Red - Keep it up girl! You're doing good!

CityChick - I know that some days can be so hard, especially when the scale isn't moving, but like you said, it's not going up. Keep up what you're doing and you will see a loss, sometimes it just takes a while. Besides, you're making yourself healthier and that is the most important thing!

Have a good day all!

Day 8 - exercise - good, 2 pauses left, level 3

Day 3 - calories under 1800 - good, 1 pause left, level 1

I just barely made it with the exercise yesterday. First, my 2 year old woke up from his nap and did not want to go back to sleep. I finally got him to sleep and then had a dvd player problem. I finally got my workout going and 10 minutes later I ended up pulling an ab muscle! Anyways, I got 10 minutes of that workout in, and I did 20 minutes of turbo jam to finish off the 30 minute challenge. Definitely was a challenge yesterday!

Red, Trob & Pink - you are all doing great, keep it up!

ok so I stink - I haven't been able to start my challenge yet - part of it is my own fault- part of its work - I have got called in for horrid shifts the last several days - BY the time I come home at night I barley drag myself in the shower and to bed - on the bright side my podometer says that I've been walking a avg of 12-14 miles per shift so thats something - I have one more yucky shift tomorrow (Sun) so I hope to be off to a good start on monday with my challenge
THE rest of you sound like things are going well - keep the great work - your such a inspiration

I'm not sure how many of you use fitday but I came across this link and it is amazing for adding extra foods onto the web version. It lists nutrition info for resturants and brands and as long as you are logged into fitday it records it for you! I know this makes things easier for me so I thought I'd pass it on!!

Even if you don't use fitday it is a great source of facts about lots of different foods!!

Day 9 - exercise - good, 2 pauses left, level 3

Day 4 - calories under 1800 - blew it! 0 pauses left, level 1. Back to day 4.

I normally don't drink, but ended up having 2 yesterday! Hadn't planned on it so I didn't budget my calories earlier in the day. If only I had stopped at 1, I would have been fine! Oh well, hopefully I can keep it under control for the rest of my challenge.

Gotta run! Talk to you all more tomorrow.
