I did so-so yesterday. I did get in some cherries with breakfast/lunch and I did drink 4 glasses of water. No yoga, and I definitely did not get as many fruits and veggies as I could have. But, I am going to focus on the positive-I drank more water, and I know that is good for me and hopefully today I will do a little better. Jill
Summer Challenge Goals:
1) Walk 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week
2) Plan weekly menus

I got my water at work yesterday, but no garden or workout time. I did, however, get a HUGE award from <gulp> the General that was completely unexpected.
Challenge Goals:
*10 minutes of unplanned exercise five times a week
*Gym time twice a week
*Socialize at least once every two weeks.

 Dishwasher DONE! Fitday DONE! I am REALLY enjoying reading everybody's aha! moments about pizza and scales and successes!!!! Yay!!! I love these challenges because they make us go, "No... today I'm eating my lunch from home" or "No... I'm not going to procrastinate and today I'm loading that dishwasher!"

It was a good day today and I met all of my goals : )

I think that could be my tagline! LOL Prior to July 2003, I called Domino's every Friday night for pizza...pizza is one of my favorite foods...so you're right (and thank you), it is a big leap for me to sit there and smell pepperoni and not dive for it. quote: I am glad the the logistics were in your favor- I am always grateful for those bits of grace.
Amen, sister!
Rest of Summer Goals:
1. Exercise-Cardio: Min. 2-3 walking or DVD cardio workouts per week.
2. Exercise-Weights/Toning: Min. 1 weight plus 1 toning workout per week.
3. Food: Get those veggie servings back up to where they were!
4. Behavior: Start reducing sweets now that the automatic after-meal response is better.

WOOHOO to baby steps.
Sheri, If I'd just done what you did, I would consider that a HUGE LEAP rather than a baby step. Any time I can let go of processed pizza I know I am feeling good about myself and my path. I am glad the the logistics were in your favor- I am always grateful for those bits of grace.

Challenge for today is that it is going to be anther hot one, and I won't want to eat. I must eat, so am planning fruits and cold vegetable salad for dinner; possibly some cold meat sandwiches. And plenty of water, juice etc....I hate summer!
It's never too late to get it right.

I got a nice payoff on the scale this morning to help kickstart my challenge motivation--I was in the 167s ALL last week, which is very high for me. This morning, I was back in the mid 166s so I feel like I've already got a good start in being good to me and doing the right things.
