Sunday and Week 1 Totals

So this hasn't been the best start to the challenge but I am feeling good about this next coming week. I think I am going to try getting up early and exercising because my evenings are when I need to pack. I am feeling really positive right now. I am ready to start working on myself again and excited for moving. I am just so happy right now! After all the stress in the last few weeks, I feel like packing and unpacking will be a piece of cake!

So the challenge for the next week is to cut out a treat or junk food and save it until the end of the week as a reward. I will be cutting out Starbucks this week and will use it as a reward if I exercise 5 times this week. If you do this give yourself 10 points on Sunday.

Here are the totals for the week. If you haven't posted your points yet, don't worry there still is time and I will update as I get your points.

Laurie=74 Rock on, Sista!!

Pam=59

Melynda=34

Amy=30

Friday

I am inspired again! And I owe all thanks to my friends Pam and Laurie. I am going to run a 5k in November. I am ready and committed I have planned out my progression from walking to running and allowed for some time of during the week we move. I am also swearing off Starbucks until I have ran 5 times next week. I am ready to start moving.

I am sick of being fat and I want to get pregnant again at a good weight. I am also moving back to the town I grew up in and the scared high school girl in me doesn't want to go back fat. So I need to do something.

Thursday

Today was a decent day despite being up until 3 am with Zoe. I hate when I am up all night with a kid, I feel so hung over. Which sucks because being hung over without the party is not fun. I ate a bit better today but no exercise....grrr....I need to get off my butt but I just can't get motivated it. At least I was productive around the house.

Tuesday

How has the start been for you? I had a rough start because it is hard to start a diet on a holiday and all this house stuff has me going through the emotional ringer. One minute I am excited and the next I am in tears. I am sick of decisions and indecision. I want someone to just make the decision for me and I will leave with the consequences. But on a good note I have a washer and it appears to work. Now I have to catch up on all the laundry.

Monday

I got up and weighed myself. What a depressing thing. I have almost gained all my weight back. I need this challenge and I need to learn how to make eating and exercising a priority. Sigh.....I am rather depressed. A wrench has been thrown into our house buying plans and my washer broke. The fabulous house that I am in love with has been appraised much lower than the selling price so we can't get financed. There is hope, of course there always is, maybe we will get the house cheaper and there are other houses out there. So we will see. Right now it is time to worry about when I will exercise.

Let' make this a great week!

Challenge

Okay, so Monday is the official start. I will start tallying your points weekly. Please post your points at least every week on Sunday. Feel fee to post daily too. If you do not post for two weeks than I will assume you are out. Everyone who posted during the warmup week will get a 10 point bonus.

Next week's challenge is to exercise. This may sound easy but if you are like me it is tough. All you have to do is at least 5 minutes of pure intended exercise to get 10 points. The challenge points this week only count once and then your exercise counts towards your regular exercise points, 5 points for 30 minutes.

Good luck!
