First Day of Spring Challenge

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

We rented a big house at the beach here in South Carolina - we live about two hours from the shore. I usually don't go for the week vacation there but we have the boys now and so family vacations will be centered around them. Luckily, we are going with three other couples who all have children the same ages. I may be ready to pull my hair out after one day but I am giving it a shot!

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Hey Elsie. Before this whole apple cider vinegar incident, I was losing 3.6 pounds a week, so I figured 3 was bumping that down. Maybe 2 would be more realistic and if I exceed, that's great, too! Thanks for pointing that out to me

It doesn't matter to me who heads up the next challenge. I can if you guys want...it's no biggie. I just don't want everyone to think it's my challenge b/c I started the thread. It's everyones!!! LOL

I guess we'll start the next challenge on the 21st, since the 20th is the fast day/weigh in day.

Jennifer, that sounds so beautiful to have a big house at the shore. My Dad lives in Charleston, and I'll be down that way April 22nd for his wedding.

Well, have a great day everyone!

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Well, today I am at the same weight as yesterday, which is cool.

I took my vitamins, which I haven't been that great at remembering, and my essential oils, and I worked out for 15 minutes on the elliptical, at resistance 2. Not as much exercise as I'd like, but it's still good. I don't want to push too hard and have my back hurt again, so I am taking baby steps.

I went tanning too, so I am feeling like a million bucks right now. I think it's the endorphines from exercising, but who cares!?! LOL

I AM slacking in the water department so I will get as much in before 5 as possible

How's your day going?

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

I had such a rotten ATkins moment this morning and it will probably make me miss goal. I logged it in my journal if ya'll want to commiserate wit me

No weight lost this week so still 157. That's ok with me for now b/c I just have really started to exercise. I am expecting great things from that! I gotta up the water too jsj!

Love Charleston by the way. April is a very good month to visit - you should enjoy it!

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Hey Guys!!!

I have a ton of fun lastnight. We took MIL out for her 50th and we went to this really expensive restaurant..and I completely stayed on plan. I drank water w/ a lemon slice, had filet Mignon (sp) and a house salad w/ no dressing (I asked for Oil and Vinegar, but it was balsamic, so I declined ) and fresh asparagus and a few mushrooms! It was so delicious and even better since it was all perfectly legal. DH however wasn't so strong, and ordered the Jumboliah (sp again) but he did have a diet coke....LOL

I wasn't having the diet coke b/c of the aspertame, and I didn't have the unsweetened iced tea b/c it was caffeine and probably had aspertame too.

I weighed in today at 161.2, which I am so thrilled about!! I have really been giving it my all, and it is paying off, finally!!!!

I am really proud of myself for making the right decisions. I mean, they had the best smelling fresh rolls on the table and fried calamari, but I said NO WAY! I am so happy!!

I am probably making corned beef and cabbage tonight, bt I am weary of all the sodium so we will see Off to find a recipe!! Have a great day everyone!

Re: First Day of Spring Challenge

Cypress..your vacation sounds like it will be very fun!!! Hang in there!

Jo...even if you don't make your goal..you are a winner for still being here and still trying!!!

Rikki...good to see you are still posting!

Steph...WOW...you did great at the resturant and it sured paid off! What a great post to read after having read some of yours where you gave in and had to work so hard to get back to where you were. What a great payoff for staying legal!! Glad you are starting up the next challenge. You are doing great with this one.

I weighed in at 180 yesterday so am happy about that. Fully expected to be up and really struggling after the scrapbook weekend. So looking forward to getting into the next decade soon!!

Okay does anyone want to go the weight loss chart thingy? A you all know, I can set it up, but I SUCK at keeping track! LOL I can do it again, but I wanted to ask first.
