Re: * Your ~ BirthDAY Challenge *

I've been feeling drained today, all day I've had such a tough day our AC at the house went out it's been HE double hockey sticks trying to get a AC service in the middle of texas weather... I've been on /off the phone all day... I didn't have breakfast and haven't even had a chance for lunch yet.. I had water and green tea all day and it's almost 3! An hour more till i go home, I know this is bad.. just a bad day.. but I will not cheat... everyone keep it up!

Re: * Your ~ BirthDAY Challenge *

LaLa - Where are your cheat free buttons? I thought you were in that challenge with me. Hang in there. It is hot here and I am sure it is SUPER hot there. Maybe you can go hang out at the mall tonight until it cools off some. Get a nice salad or something?

Hey, guess what? I realized that I have been eating more carbs than I thought I was eating. I have just started measuring EVERYTHING and entered the info on FitDay and it's doing the calculating for me. I am still pretty slow at it but I think I will get the hang of it soon.

Here's to cooler weather and smaller bodies in the fall .

Anyway.....glad to see so many of you are pushing forwards toward your Birthday goal. I wish you much success!!!!

Re: * Your ~ BirthDAY Challenge *

kislandmom - I don't have room for my cheat free buttons! but belive you me I am going on day #20 day! yay me and still no scale I've done 5.5 miles walking so far... I am trying to up that amount..

Dolphin- Gracias! I haven't cheated... I didn't eat much that day I went to get my little boy from his grandman's house to take him to the park and I had some Carne con tomate y chili hit the spot and some water another day...


Rosa- Me and you both need to kick butt in the exercise department, how are you doing today?

So how are all the Chicas doing?

[Dolphin]

Re: * Your ~ BirthDAY Challenge *

Doing good. I had some pepperoni and cheese—I cut it small enough to fit the pepperoni, btw I never ate pepperoni except for on a pizza, I hope all is well. La La I loooove chili!! especially when its really hot and spicy!!! But 5.5 miles girl, that's excellent!!!! Keep up the good work La!!

I feel you Rosa, the exercise is something I gotta do to, but sweating in this heat should help.

I've lit the exercise fire under my butt!! hehehe
I've been moving and groving and I've lost 5lbs since I last posted here!!

I have 20 more to go until my birthday goal, and 2 months to do it.

I know it's a long shot....but I'm going to work hard for it! I've got a "plan" for my eating/exercise routine and that makes it easier. Not to say it will be "easy" I've got two hard weekends to work though. This weekend I'll be attending a wedding out of town (I'll be packing the cooler and using the hotel fitness center) and Labor day weekend I'm out of town visiting friends and we're going to an Italian festival!!

I think I'm going to switch my birthday reward. I originally said new exercise videos, but I forgot that was my current 10lb loss reward. So....for losing 13lbs total and getting down to 200 I'm going to reward myself with new videos now!!! Any suggestions on some good ones?? I have slim in six, slim series, windsor pilates, and several tae bo tapes.

I think I'll buy CLOTHES when I hit 180

Re: * Your ~ BirthDAY Challenge *

I am still cheat free but have not lost anything in a while. I REALLY don't think I am going to make my goal. I am upping the exercise as well and started the abs challenge for august.

Keep up the good work everyone.

Re: * Your ~ BirthDAY Challenge *

Hey........my goal seems impossible too.

20lbs in 2 months? Yikes!

But remember....if you reach for the moon and you fail....you might just end up among the stars! (or something like that )


If you give yourself a difficult goal, you are going to work harder to achieve it. If you just say "I'd like to lose 2lbs before my birthday", unless you only have 5lbs left to lose, you can do a lot of slacking off and still achieve that goal, know what I mean?

Just work as hard as you are capable of working and enjoy your birthday

" But remember....if you reach for the moon and you fail....you might just end up among the stars! (or something like that [img]images/smilies/tongue.gif[/img] )"

I love that!

My teacher in Elementary school used to tell us that all the time..

I am still game, a minor setback this weekend but I am on full force, still no scales till monday

Re: * Your ~ BirthDAY Challenge *

I've gone down a little, broke a sort of stall. Still trucking along.

[Rosa]

Re: * Your ~ BirthDAY Challenge *

Hey! Just stopped in to wish everyone a good week.


I'm trucking along too dotsamantha!! Sometimes when you break a stall, your weight loss will speed up.

It's like finally getting over that hump and now it's downhill!! I hope the scale keeps going down for you. My fingers are crossed!!!

[kislandmom]

Re: * Your ~ BirthDAY Challenge *

Dot - you are so close I bet you can taste it (so to speak).

My scale has still not budged but I got out and walked today and did 75 situps on my lunch break. I also drank a whole gallon of water today. I just know that scale is gonna move any day now!!!
