Labor Day Challenge - Week Two Check In
 

So girls, how did week two of the challenge go?

2 weeks down, 5 more to go
(thank goodness because I'll need all 5 of them to lose the weight!)

Lisa

1). Lose 10 pounds by Labor Day

** Was down 1.5 last week, gained a pound this week..... so didn't quite nail this one. 9.5 pounds to go still

2). Limit alcohol consumption to 4 drinks a week (usually it's 4 a month, but it's the summer!)

**Whoo - hoo.... first time. I made this one... although I think it was exactly 4 this week. One Thursday, 2 Friday, and One Saturday.

3). Weight train 3X per week

** I did strength train, but only 2 times... I had plans Wed and Thursday and didn't make it to the gym. Then Friday got sick... wasn't a good week for the gym... only went 3 times.

4). Swim 4X per week

I did make this one.


5). Journal

Didn't quite make this one either.... wow - I'm not doing so hot! Back into gear this week (even if I'm going to NY this weekend - agh).

I only made 2/5... UGH

Objective: Lose 10 lbs
Actual This week: Lost 1.2
Total lost: 4.2 lbs

Objective: ST 3X per week, Yoga 2x per week
Actual: ST 4x, Yoga 2x

YOU ROCK LAURA....... awesome.

1) Reach my 10%... which is um, 15.8 more pounds.
Well, I lost 0.2 this week.. so not a well as planned. After a meeting I realized that 15.8 isn't realistic. I'm just going to go with 10 pounds. I'm changing the rules!And I weigh in tomorrow, so we'll see

2) Go to the gym at least 3x per week. Or at least doing 3x cardio and 3x WT.
Okay, I went to the gym multiple times, but I changed up my routine by adding classes like Yoga and Abs and Back. I didn't do much weight training, but I was active.

3) Resist eating out (and the naughty Chik-Fil-A IceDreams)
The only time I ate out all week was ONE chick-fil-a cone. Right before WI too! oh, and I had TCBY on a road trip, but it was a long road trip and I was hungry. Ugh, that's no excuse!

4) Only drink alcoholic drinks once a week, and limit to 5 (or just 5 per week total) -- and if I am drinking, to alternate with water.
I didn't alternate with water, but last weekend (as in over a week ago) I had only 5 drinks, and this week, I had a total of 2!! I was very proud of myself, especially since I went to bars on two separtate nights.

5) Not eat later than two hours before bedtime
This is getting embarrassing. I tried to do this, but then would convicne myself it was okay. So... during the weeknights I would do okay, but the weekends were very difficult. :(


I am not discouraged! I'm going to pick up and do better this week! Starting today everything is looking up. I don't know about WI tomorrow, but besides that, it's going to be okay!

Lucy:smug:

My Week Two
 

Well, here goes.

1) Lose 10 lbs.

I'm on my way. I ws down 1.4 at WI on Thursday and hope to see continued success.

2) Go to gym 3x a week and do another form of exercise 3x a week.

I went to the gym 4x last week, but haven't done another form of exercise. It's been too miserably hot to walk and I've been feeling a little lazy. :)

3) Drink more water!

My water consumption level has improved. It's still not where I want it to be, but should be there soon!

So, two goals out of three ain't bad... :D

HI! Ok, I'm joining the challenge....a little late, but better than never, right/?
so for me it's week one but really week two. right.
nevermind
:)
Here are my goals:
1) Drink 8 glasses of H2O daily
2) exercise at least 3 times a week
3)stick to point range
4) cut down on SUGAR and CANDY!!!!!! (I've been terrible with this)
5) lose 10 lbs....(that would be 2 a week.....maybe?)
:)
yeay! How exciting

I have been so slackly girls! I am recommitting today though!!

Here are my goals:

1. Lose 10 pounds.
2. Drink my water.
3. Walk on my treadmill (or outside) for 2 miles a day.
4. JOURNAL, JOURNAL, JOURNAL!!!!!


Way to go everyone, hang in there, we can do this!!! :)

Ok, let's see-

1. Lose 15 pounds- Ok, so, my scale has been kaput forever, so this is really impossible to monitor. So, I think I am going to switch this goal from pounds to inches. I would really like to have my waist at 29" or under by Labor day. so, 1.5 inches off. I hope that's doable.

2. Doing great on the cardio exercise, not so great on the strenght training. Really need to work on that.

3. The skinny jeans- getting closer, but not quite there! At least they zip now, although definitely not comfortably.

Ok, that's it. Hopefully week 3 will be better!

Cat

Great girls.... I didn't do so hot and I'm a little worried about New York. it's going to be tough sticking to the challenge while on vacation in NY... although I'll just keep thinking about Labor Day and how awesome it would be to have lost 10 pounds...

BTW Denise...nice to meet you and I'm glad you joined the challenge!!!!

OK-I haven't yet weighed in this week, but here is how I am doing so far:

1) Wt 148-we'll see at weigh in
2) Weight train 3x/week: yes for last week!
3) Aerobic exersize 4x/week: I made it!
4) Drink Water: Am doing it!
Journal every day: Sadly lacking-hopefully will start again by going to a meeting tomrrow.
