Challenge Day!

Today is the end of the FIFTH week of Biz's Holiday 2011 Challenge and the end of the FOURTH week of Give Yourself the Best Gift and the Christmas Dress Challenge! (All buttons are on my sidebar but you can just click the links to get to their blogs OR click the links above!)

Here we go!

Check-In for ALL CHALLENGES:
  • Drink 64 oz of water daily: YES
  • Walk 5 miles/weekday (1-2 on weekends): NO- I got totally rained out two days and had to walk Tucker under the umbrella.
  • Keep daily calories between 1200 and 1400: YES
  • Post daily exercise and food on livestrong.com: YES
  • Post weekly results: YES
  • No food after 8:00 pm: YES--that is, Yes I've had NO food after 8:00 pm.
  • Last minute addition: eat slower: SORT OF. I am making slight progress here.
  • Three days of strength training exercises: YES. Actually, I got in 4 days...something went haywire with my motivation--probably the rain outs--but don't get used to seeing this. Three days is quite enough of these evil exercises.

  • Tuesday: 1295
  • Wednesday: 1084
  • Thursday: 1339

  6. I agree with Stephanie. I am constantly amazed how disciplined you are.Congrats on the loss!

    I know you´re trying to eat gluten free, so I thought I´d send you this website with recipes. Since I´m Mennonite too, I love their food and I think you will too.

  12. Now, you're beginning to make it look difficult to achieve...since you're now SO far ahead...and I'm still quite a way behind the starting line! You are doing MARVELLOUSLY! I hope you're very, very proud of yourself and remembering to pat yourself on the back several times a day! Here's mine...pat, pat, pat!
