Hi everyone.....here is my first check in.

I ate really well yesterday...and got a workout in too...for charity. I did the 5K walk for diabetes...and actually ran/jogged almost half of it. I felt good to be active...and burning those calories...for a good cause.

And we went out to lunch afterwards...and I didn't blow it. I got a salad from Panera with the light dressing. I didn't reward my good exercise with a fattening meal.

Hope everyone else's week is starting well....

WTG Shelley!!

This week will be a bit off for me, in the midst of moving and I'm semi-gymless...sooo I'll concentrate on shaving 250 off my daily cals this week.

Arindana, the challenge is ongoing, so jump in where and when you can. To sum up the posts I linked too, basically 3500 calories nets a 1lb loss..pick a method to consistently burn 250-500 calories per day, either burn it off via exercise, or cut back on your eats. That's pretty much it.

Look forward to your posts. Hope everyone else did well today.

Yesterday was harsh. My cat was struck and killed by a car, and the bank lost my paycheck that I deposited on Friday...TG I had my deposit slip with me when I went to go see them...

Anyway, I did not get to the gym yesterday, but I did eat on plan according to the Weight Watchers Core plan, so at least I got the 250 calories from that.

Today I have a weight lifting appointment with my mom. It's all about the chest, shoulders and triceps today!

Hey ladies

yesterday and today both good food wise and exercise wise and water has been good. I am back to work. so am walkig extra I take public transit and alot of my stop a 5-10 minute on the way home I can take a longer route once I am off the bus so I do that. I also work in a mall and it has 3 floors. I work on the third floor but have to enter on the first floor so I walk the long way to the stairs up to the third floor and they are one solid flight from the first to the third and they move bt I walk them instead of standing so its harder. So so far I am going good oh and I am keeping my cals between 1200 and 1300 for the most part where a week ago I was eating over 1000-2000 calories perdayso big change congrads to everyone doing well so far keep it up ladies. oh question renee when are we supposed to check in for weigh in????? I weigh in every monday

alana-

I am so sorry about your cat...I love my cat more than I love most people on the planet. So sorry for your loss.

How did your weight lifting go? I have to always work to get mine in...since I jump to do cardio, but always tend to lag when it comes to weight lifting.

Shelly, thank you for your kind thoughts.

My weight lifting went fine. The calorie burner thing that Renee has set up for us says that I burned about 302 calories doing it...I lifted for about 40 minutes, but I figure that there was a minute between each set and all that, so I used 30 minutes to calculate it. I did well on WEight Watchers, too. I guess my total for the week so far is a 750 deficit, if I'm doing my math right.

As for getting in to the weight lifting. I like how strong it makes me feel when I can increase the weight of the dumb bells. I have the luxory of being married to a liscensed personal trainer who helped me put an efficient and well rounded program together.

Next week, I'm adding in cardio. Gotta start slow...that's my motto.

Yeah, I did the math wrong...I was rounding to incremements of 250...where it's really a total of 802....duh.

My trackbacks don't seem to be working here.. wah!

Amazon we new it was best but we sisn't want to let him go it still is hard t times exspecially somedays when i come home from work. but we got him cremated and have his yern (sp?) here at home so its like he is still with us I also have a picture of him on my desk so I see him everyday. We have pictures around the house of him too. if you would like to see pictures I have a page dedicated to him on my website, htp://angie-nicholas.tripod.com seems like we have a small crowd for the challenge but its nice because its easier to keep track of everyone.

have a great day everyone
angie
will check back later with how my day has gone

Hi everyone!

I did good yesterday...I was going to have yesterday be one of my rest days for exercise, but instead...I hopped on the elliptical (oh, how I love you so!) and ran for just 20 minutes.

That is a good thing for me...I used to be the person that thought, "I have to run for 45 minutes or an hour or why bother?" Well...instead...I got a little bit in and it made a difference.

Food was good...completely on target.

hey everyone, did good today got my workout in between buses to and from work so all up walked about 35- 40 minutes plus worked almost 9 hrs on my feet.i am pooped have a good night everyone

Thanks for the welcome. Did good today. I went to the gym and worked out for about 50 minutes. 1/2 hour of toning and 20 minutes of cardio. It feels great to get moving and get everything stretched out and worked out.

Hi everybody...I worked at my night job, which is often the sabotage to my eating and fitness goals.

I didn't workout yesterday...which was planned to be my rest day. I worked from 7:30am to 4pm...and then from 5pm to 1am...so finding time for a workout...not bloody likely!

I did eat really well though...I didn't get tempted by the candy...the soda...the cute pizza guys next door. I brought some healthy snacks and made it through the evening.

*cheers*
