mini challenge(s) ideas?

jeaniem · 01-13-2013, 04:12 PM

Anyone have an interest in doing some mini challenges? I don't really know what/how, just a thought. I like the long term challenges as well, but think I may do better if I have short term goals as well. Any interest or ideas?

Deb · 01-13-2013, 05:45 PM

i plan on doing workout of some kind every day and make sure i get all my water in

nice to meet you Jean

Deb · 01-14-2013, 06:40 AM

jeaniem · 01-14-2013, 10:43 AM

Hi !

i have always wanted to write a journal...good for you

shelby'snana · 01-14-2013, 11:06 AM

i'll join ya Jeanie ! Thanks for starting this. Hey Deb ...

Goals

Exercise of some sort on all days off ( and try to on work days - even stretching )
Pound lots of water/tea
Follow LC with no cheats
Write in my journal daily too !

Deb · 01-14-2013, 12:43 PM

Hey Laura

did the walk help your back ?

misty1028 · 01-14-2013, 01:04 PM

I'll join you all. I think mini challeges are alot easier to stick with. I keep a written journal at my desk, if I don't I tend to forget some on the little things I eat and they add up.

Goals
Exercise at least 5 days a week
drink lots of water
NO binges
Keep track of what I eat in my journal

shelby'snana · 01-14-2013, 01:06 PM

Hi Misty !!

Deb · 01-14-2013, 01:27 PM

Deb · 01-14-2013, 01:34 PM

Only if my 32 oz. of tea today counts

misty1028 · 01-14-2013, 04:04 PM

Deb I would think that tea should count as water. As long as you don't add all the sugar and creams. I drink tea at night.

I am glad you, Misty and Laura are here!

shelby'snana · 01-14-2013, 04:32 PM

Thanks Jeanie !

I drink tea all day long........love it !

Deb · 01-14-2013, 04:36 PM

coffee has been upsetting my stomach...well only if i have a second cup so im going back to 1 cup of coffee in the morning with my coconut oil and the rest of the day tea..

well of coarse i wont give up my wine

if i do a inside run or bow-flex i tend to drink tons of water while doing it but if i run outside i dont get the extra in

Deb · 01-14-2013, 04:59 PM

shelby'snana · 01-14-2013, 07:49 PM

Deb · 01-14-2013, 10:37 PM

Night Laura....no BL tonight

Deb · 01-15-2013, 10:27 AM

had to call the cops on the same trouble maker in the building last night so i was up late...
the L/B let me sleep in which was wonderful !!!!!!!!!!!

just got back from a down town walk

whats everyone eating today ?

jeaniem · 01-15-2013, 04:39 PM

Food today? Boring meat, eggs and more meat and eggs. I did make a strawberry protein shake in the blender that was tasty.

Drank lots of water today, took the day off from exercise feeling pretty sore.

Wrote a little in my journal, but want to add to it tonight.

How is everyone doing?

Deb · 01-15-2013, 04:43 PM

hmmmm lots of meat hey ...

well i have decided to go with big chicken ceasar salads for tonight

im excited...going to my first yoga class in the morning

misty1028 · 01-15-2013, 04:47 PM

Did really good today, went to the gym because I had to work, so went there 1st. Took 3 bottles of water with me and drank them all before I got home.

Jeanie whats the goal weight you want to reach. You look pretty thin in your avi. I don't post a journal on here. I have to have it written because I have a need to pick at food all day and if I can't jot it right down I forget to count it.

Deb did you tape BL, wonder what you think of this new one.

Laura hope all went well at the Drs.

Deb · 01-15-2013, 04:53 PM

Misty i liked the first 2 shows..

Love Jillian being back

Keep the pellets going Misty

jeaniem · 01-15-2013, 05:03 PM

Misty
I am about 135-ish in the avatar, and 150 now so about 15 pounds- not sure though will see how I look and feel when I get back to 135. What is your goal you look thin in your avatar. Deb's avatar is really hot

I have a written journal at home and one here as well. In my written journal which I just started a few days ago, I am mainly looking for patterns to my falling off the wagon. Hormonal perhaps? I don't get TOM, but it still seems like I have pms, so I am trying to pinpoint my moods, energy, cravings and any other issues that may start the binge/overeating cycle.
