And yeah, meeting my 1st goal on the challenge has really motivated me to want to do even better. I can't wait to (hopefully) meet my 2nd goal!
Keep up the good work and you will meet your new goal by Labor Day!
Not only have I stayed OP w/my WW pts., but I also got my exercise in. I did 20 min. on the stationary bike. I rode 6.18 miles and burned off 247 calories. I then did 30 min. on the treadmill. I set my speed to 3.0 and walked 1.5 miles and burned off 141 calories. All together I walked/rode 7.68 miles and burned off 388 calories. I am feeling really great right now. I am ecstatic that I finally got that work out in. I know this 1000 min. of exercise challenge was just what I needed. I did oversleep this morning and had to skip breakfast, so I am below pts. and calories so I plan to eat a little extra for dinner since I burned off a lot of calories too. Don't want to overdo it, you know. I have decided to start my week of 5 days of exercise today since I wasn't home much yesterday and the 1000 min. challenge just started today. So, I have 4 more days of exercise to go this week and 2 rest days. I am hoping for a good weigh in Fri. since I plan to not only stay OP all week but get my workouts in as well. I have several things to do tonight. I have to make some copies for the other "new girl" at work. Her home was broken into Fri. right before it was time to get off from work, so I am trying to help her out. I also have to study some notes I made for my new job, b/c I have been having trouble w/one part of it. I am hoping if I spend a little extra time on it that it will start to click w/me soon. I am going to go eat dinner and then do those things. If I have any time left, I will look for some pics to post. I hope to get that done tonight too. Guess that will depend on how much time I have though. Well, I hope everyone has a great week full of days! 
Good luck catching on to the things at work that you're still struggling with. Very nice of you to help the other girl too! 
day..LOL!!! You're doing great. I can't wait to see some pics...it was easy to post with Michelle's instructions...she really walked me through it. 
day for me! I ate breakfast and lunch OP. I could not finish my breakfast though. I think I am getting tired of what I have in the house. I will have to switch it up when I go grocery shopping again. For dinner, a couple that Scott and I are friends with treated us to dinner at Red Lobster. I had fried clam strips, a garden salad, and a baked potato w/butter and sour cream. Not the best choices, I know. But I really don't like sea food except for that. I used about 20 pts. for that meal and had to dip into my flex pts. some. I only used 2 flex pts. though b/c of the activity pts. that I earned yesterday and today! So, all in all, today was another cheat free day. I did not finish that dinner either. I guess I have gotten so used to the smaller portion sizes on WW that I just can't eat as much...which I consider an extremely good thing...lol! Anyway, I also did 30 min. on the treadmill tonight. I really did not feel like it. I was tired and FULL, but I was motivated b/c I knew I wanted to make my minutes on the 1000 min. of exercise challenge. So, I did it. It wasn't bad once I got started. I set my speed to 3.0, but I think tomorrow I am going to increase it, maybe add a program or something. 3.0 is starting to be a little too light for me. Anyway, I did 1.52 miles and burned 125 calories. So, today was a good day as far as I am concerned!
day!
You are doing a great job with your food choices and exercise. Keep up the good work and you will meet your goals! I hope you have a wonderful day today and thank you for your support in my journal!
) But at least I didn't go over my pts. and my extra flex pts. I still have about 13 extra flex pts. left for this week so I guess I did okay. It could be worse. But I feel guilty now anyway. I also felt really tired all day. Maybe that is why I was so hungry?! I decided since I felt so "out of it", to make today my 1st rest day for the week. I will probably exercise tomorrow and Thurs. and make Fri. my other rest day, and then exercise on Sat. That will give me 5 exercise days and 2 rest days this week. Well, I guess I am still going to give myself today, despite my guilt, b/c I really didn't do anything wrong. I just took one of my official rest days and dipped into my extra pts. some. I guess there is nothing wrong w/that...even if I feel bad for doing so. I will definitely do better tomorrow. Hope everyone else has a great day tomorrow!
Thank you so much for the words that you left for me in my journal. I appreciate your support and your post really spoke to me yesterday. Thanks! day today!!!
I don't know what has been w/me the last 2 days. I stay OP for breakfast and lunch...I even managed healthy snacks, but for some reason I have felt sooo hungry by dinner time. I have also been extremely tired and I wonder if maybe I am just starting to feel drained from working. I have had to learn several new and confusing things this week. I don't know. Either way, I used all of my remainder of flex pts. tonight, plus some. So, I have decided to take the bear clippie away until I feel like I have done well enough to earn him back. I seem to make it to day 9 of being cheat-free and then I cheat again. I also have felt so exhausted and worn out that I didn't feel up to getting that workout in again today. So, if I want to make my goal of 5 days exercise, 2 days rest, then I will have to work out everyday thru Sat. starting tomorrow. I hope I feel better tomorrow. I really dread weigh in on Fri. I definitely feel this has been my weakest week. Maybe I would feel better if I didn't have to weigh. I think if someone starts another stay off the scale challenge, I might join. I know that would be my hardest challenge, but maybe it would help me feel better. Well, I hope everyone else has done well today. If I do not get to your journal, don't feel bad. I will try to read it tomorrow. Tonight I just feel way too tired. Good luck everyone! It seems like we're all in the duldrums here lately. I think we all just have to dig our heels in and decide if we are really going to make this happen and decide if we really want it. If we do then we are going to continue on and do what needs to be done. That means when we have a rough day we get back up and get moving again. I'm sure that your new schedule has a big impact on how you're feeling right now. I know when I was working I stayed so tired I would just come home at 5pm, eat dinner and go to bed. I so sympathize with where you're at right now and I unfortunately don't have any advice on how to make it better. I just know that I'm here for you and so is everyone else, you are not a disappointment to us, we love you and care about you and only want your success and happiness. That's why I say pick yourself up, dust yourself off and let's kick butt for the rest of the week! We can do it!
