Hi Sistas,

I think that since we are all getting off track, I'm starting a weekly challenge thread for us. You can check in if you want to. Make it a small goal, or large, whatever you want.

Ok, I'll start,

My goal is to exercise at least 15 minutes everyday this week. I will log it everyday on this thread.

I challege myself to stay within my points. This seems like a no brainer, but after almost a week of binging I am struggling to keep on track. The afternoons are a killer!! All last week I ate junk all afternoon from 3 until dinner.

I'd also like to challenge myself to exercise 3 times for 20 minutes minimum. A small start. I want so badly to pledge more, but I don't want to set myself up for failure. I am forcing myself to start small. Just one hour a week.

This is a great idea Kitty!!

Yeah, now we can get on here & nag the cr**p out of each other. Maybe this will keep us straight!!

Oh, BTW, Good luck everyone!!!

My goal is to walk 30 minutes or more every day - exercise is my biggest problem.

Good idea, Kitty -- I think a challenge helps keep me on track.

Thursday - Just got back from a 40 min walk. Kind of misty and cool here this a.m. so it was nice walking. Off to fix some oatmeal for breakfast and then grocery shopping and errands.

Next? Misty - did you exercise or take a little nap while you waited for your little one?

Well, Sistas, my back was feeling good yesterday, so I thought I would train for that half marathon I'm planning on. I walked for an hour yesterday. My back is more sore today--I probably did too much too soon.

My goals for the rest of this week:

Thursday (tonight): 30 minutes walking
Friday: 4 miles
Saturday: Rest day
Sunday: 11 miles (yikes)

It's a small step, but I just did my 15 minute walk on my 1 mile Walk Away The Pounds. Hope I can do it everyday.

Bev & Steph, WTG!! Got one day behind us.



I like the cheerleader. Get used to her, we're gonna make our goals...

WoooHooo

My challenge for the rest of this week is to get back to basics: journal every bite (even if I go over points); stick to my daily points; get in my 60-80 ounces of water; and get back to my 3 servings of ff dairy a day. Once I get back in that groove, I'll add the exercise challenge.

I met my challenge on Thursday -- 29 points (out of 30), 72 ounces of water and I wrote down every bite. I didn't get in the 3 servings of ff dairy, but that was just ' cause I didn't have any at home. But now I'm stocked up. Another one of my challenges - sort of diet related -- is to stop going to WaWa eveyday for my food. Not only was i spending $11 a day on breakfast, lunch and a snack, it was getting me into an eating rut. Enough of that!

Check one day off for me. I did 20 minutes yesterday.

YAY MAGGIE!!
YAY KITTY!!
YAY STEPHANIE!!
YAY BEV!!

I'm going to commit myself to do at least 20 mins of exercise every day. And I'm going to start today, even though its not the beginning of the week.

Friday challenge met - Walked for 35 minutes at 6:05 a.m. (before I went to work). If I don't get it out of the way right away in the morning, I just don't do it. And next week I have to work four days .... that should really prove to be a challenge!

RIGHT BACK ATCHA!!!
YAY MISTY!!
