Challenge 11/05/11:Stay Within Your Limit

Did not stay with in my range like I had hoped, but also walked 13 miles which kinda helped as that was about 1200 calories burned.

Well, did not stay within my ranges, so will try again today!

done

Did it I managed to stick to the plan and not have extras

Done. Stayed within my ranges on carbs, fat and protein, too! I'm golden...

Not a pproblem

I'm in for this daily challenge! I've been doing pretty good so far. I'm nowhere near the upper intake of my calories. I still haven't eaten dinner yet, but I'll make sure it's not too bad for me.
Happy Sparking everyone!

Did pretty good staying in my points range ... I think a good weigh in this morning helped! Bring on the next challenge!

I did stay in my range today :)

This is always hard on the weekends, but I am challenged to do my best today. I have had a good start today, but what really matters is how I finish!

My son is flying home to go to a NHL game and is bringing a friend who is also staying here for the weekend. My son would like a typical guy meal like pizza, wings and beer for supper which my husband is totally in agreement with. I will behave myself and have a bowl of homemade soup and a salad instead.

Darlin I eat too much everyday! And everyday I say "ok, fresh start". I just can't seem to get back to the spark I had when I started.

One thing I have noticed (see TYGRLILY's I am a Warrior! blog) is that people who are hyped up and feel like warriors are the ones who have broken the inertia barrier and are exercising, going to exercise classes, lifting wieghts, etc...

I've got to break the inertia!

It is difficult to walk when you have tendonitis in your heels. It is difficult to do your dishes when your back begins to ache after five minutes. It is difficult to do a ten minute workout when there is so much crap in your house that there is no room to move, and you can't put it away because it is physically exhusting and you can't figure out where to put it and you can't make yourself get rid of it.

Trapped in a rat maze! There has to be a starting point. I am hoping all of this gets better when I retire but that is three to eight years away. The job leaves me physically and mentally exhusted so I put everything off til the weekend and then there is so much to do it is just hopeless and I do nothing. Or I start in, get the dishes done and the laundry caught up and then the weekend is over. I am going to start today by clearing the dining room before I start the dishes, hoping to see progress that way. OK, I am turning the computor off and putting some music on right now!

i believe i can do this .

Oh, heck...I was so enjoying beating myself up, LOL!!! And now you say I cannot... darn.

Okay, I'll be kind and forgiving. Really... I did so well all week and then last night ate too much and the scale is screaming at me this morning. It's kind of discouraging, but I'll just look forward and remember that this is a LIFESTYLE change, not a diet.

One day does not a life make.

I can definitely use this challenge today. I just finished my healthy breakfast and was trying to decide if I want to have a bowl of ice cream while I catch up on e-mail. I guess this means I don't have the ice cream LOL

A great reminder, I have such a problem on the weekends and although I have a party tonight I am going to work very hard on this today

I need this after this week.

This is a great one for me. While I can stick to the calories, its the choices I make within those limits. I need to stay away from my trigger foods... Today I will choose better to make those calories count for me rather than against me!

This is a great one today. I have slipped a couple times this week. I know we are always going to have a slip but we just have to get back up and get back on track. That is what I was going to do today anyway. This is just give me a little more incentive

Happy Saturday to you!

Have you ever had a moment where you just eat too much? At dinner out, or a birthday party...? Do you beat yourself up for it and throw in the proverbial towel? Well...STOP

We all have times like this. Life is going great, and then something interferes with our plans and throws it all off course. What do we do? WE GET GOING WITH THE NEXT MEAL!

Your challenge today is to STAY WITHIN YOUR CALORIE LIMIT. The weekend is here. Many of us don't stick strictly to our calorie limits on the weekends. Let's really pay attention to what we eat/drink today and LOG EVERYTHING.

Have a WON'T LET THOSE COOKIES KEEP ME AWAY FROM SMALLER JEANS Saturday!
