Well aren't we a fabulous bunch of losers! Congrats Amarantha and Morrigan! :cb: :cb:
Goals for this week: :chin:
I would like to see a two-pound loss next Sunday, but I will be happy with a one-pound loss. |
Here's my plans for the coming week:
1. At least 8 glasses of water per day. 2. Plan all meals and snacks. 3 Keep calories around 1500-1800 per day. 4. No mindless stress-eating. No empty calories! 5. If I can't do my regular workouts, I'll do something abbreviated--no blowing it off! Good luck, everybody! |
Day One
Reporting a successful Day One, ending with calories at 1607! Did my exercise, took my vitamin, drank my water, meals planned for the week....just have to get to bed by 10pm!
Just six more days...we can do THAT! :drill: |
My Day One Report
Calories? 1800; Goal Met? You Bet! Gym? Closed! No Cupcake? Nary a nibble! Gym Days Completed Since Joined (Personal Goal: 365)? 22 Note: I got to exactly 1800 by counting out the pieces in a bag of Power Bar nibblers ... there are 22, so they are less than 10 calories each (bag is 210). I was at 1750 calories but hungry. I ate five and counted them 50 calories. Yes, Wildfire, WE CAN DO THIS!!! Eydie: Here is the magic wand! :wizard: :drill: |
Hahoo! I'm in.
Simple goals - water - 64 oz a day for this week (or next six days since I'm a day late). Limit tea to 4 cups a day - 2 green, 2 regular. Vigorous yard work at least one half hour a day except when raining. Walk or pool another half hour a day. Substitution of ski machine or exercise tape allowed. Food - get back to more fruits/veggies. Cut back on sweets/carbs. Moderation in all. Positivity and joy in all I do. No excuses - I am a Queen of the Royal Court. |
6 days of simplicity...
- 48 oz. of water daily - no sweet breads, no chips - 1/2 hour of movement at least. -W- |
So far so good. The only bad thing was I indulged in a few small peppermint patties and as I was walking on the treadmill, it occurred to me that I was only breaking even--that is, burning the calories in the peppermint patties. It really illustrated how I could be ahead of the game if I could cut out 200 calories or so a day.

Brief brief ...
Post-last night's post, I can report that I carried the evening off in fine fettle. Did gym already. Full report this evening, traveling now and this challenge is what's keeping me on track. Woo-hoo! No excuses, as I won't need 'em this week!!! :drill:

PFC :queen: Punkin reporting for duty, SIR! :drill:
Today, quite a winner so far ~ I started the day with 12 minutes of elliptical elation and a successful 2 fer 2 in the meal and snack department. Must get more water in though! Goal for this week - 15-20 minutes of elliptical elation every morning and some sort of activity after work - either more elliptical, yoga, weight lifting, house cleaning (you get the picture - anything other than sitting on my hiney). Sound off, 1, 2 Sound off, 3, 4 Sound off, 1, 2, 3, 4 I don't wanna be fat ANY MORE!!! :drill: (yea, I'm silly, so indulge me) Terri |
Day Two
Calories are only at 1277, and I'm done for the day. A little low after I take off 200 on the treadmill, but I think that's okay. Yesterday was higher than usual, but still under 1800, so it will all balance out. I'm quite full, too...had an omelette for dinner.:T
Vitamin - taken! Water - done! Carbs - 44%! Treadmill - next on agenda! Meals planned - yesterday! Sleep - No Problem! Five more days - we can do THAT, too! :drill: |
Ah, if all days were like this one, I'd have this whole gig beat.
Water - 88 oz (goal - 64) plus 4 cups tea Exercise - Walked and gardened above goal Food - at approx. 1700 Attitude - Great! |
Correction/This is Day 2
Yo! Welcome aboard (or is that the navy?) to Anagram, Punkin and Ms. W, who visiteth the boot camp for the first time and a big :wave: to returnees, including ME-ME!!!
In the spirit of brevity, I shall report I've been AMAZINGLY FOCUSED AND ON-TARGET today ... may I also say to :queen: Anagramatic that there's no IFs about it ... we're lean, mean royal :queen:s and we've accepted the challenge and we're gonna do it one day at a time (at least until Sunday!) :drill: We've got the gig beat, Anagramatic, the gig is ours! :) Ahem, forgot brevity for a sec! My Day Two Report Calories? 1675; Goal Met? Was there ever a doubt? Gym? Yes! No Cupcake? Yes, I had NO cupcake! Gym Days Completed Since Joined (Personal Goal: 365)? 23 SOUND OFF! (To quote :queen: Punkin) or would that be OVER AND OUT! :drill: :drill: :drill: |
