I have been battling the binge and I am winning. I have some handy tools which I use every second of the day and I am so far doing okay. I eat at certain times of the day and I only eat what I bring. Now when the lady from the office brings in her super incredible best fudge in the world in, I hope I have strength to make it through...
I weighed in at 185. So got through the holidays without a gain...so I am a winner there!! I watched portions and drank a ton of water. And coffee! :) And tea... :)
My kids have been keeping me plenty busy and we are making crafts and getting gifts sent off for our craft swaps. My daughter is finishing that up this week. I am finishing up a stocking swap! :)
So my goals for this week are very similar to Trisha's....water, water, water. 15 minutes of movement a day. and of course, no binging.

I'll take that challenge!
Game on Trisha!! Good idea! Something to mix it up!! Something intense!!!
What about if we do an hour a day of intense exercise??? It doesn't have to be at one time but at least a 1/2 hour at a time??
And yes WATER!!! 125 oz sounds good to me!
A cleansing of the soul...I need this badly! So much is going on and about to go on that is stressful and sad and I need some good endorphins running through my body! I feel good when I exercise and I need to remember that and stick to it. Perfect timing for this idea Trisha!!!
As for the prize...what about our favorite "the coffee card"!!! :) Or what about we spend 5-10 bucks on each other in anyway we want as long as we keep it healthy??

I think we need...
A WEEKEND CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!
When I go back and read the posts (all 47 of them), I see a difference in motivation, perhaps it's just a perception, but...
What say you Miss Stephanie?
125 ounces of water for Saturday AND Sunday
Some sort of intense exercise??? How long?
Shall we have a reward? If we both do it, we both get the reward, if not, then only one of us gets the reward from the other one?

Challenging challenge
--Trisha
So, the clean eating challenge for this week, well, it has not been happening for me. I was eating cleaner before I went to cheer camp in Ellensburg. I did have some processed foods, no sweets or desserts, but it is hard when the cooking is out of my hands, and with all the exercise, I was HUNGRY! I did watch portions, and made the best of my choices! I did one night eat a PB&J instead of the greasy tacos they were serving, and I did choose wheat bread, but I didn't have a choice of organic bread or jelly or PB.
For me, the clean eating is starting today! And, so far so good :)
I've been keeping up on my water! And, holy smokes, we walked (about 4 miles a day) and moved and did a ton of exercise all week. I also had to walk up 40 stairs to my room, which I did that at least four times a day.
Honestly, my goal for this week is to maintain, maybe have a small loss. My week two is never as good as my week one and three.

Well after my non loss this week, I have decided to switch things up and see if I can get my burners on! I have cut out process foods and sugars from my diet. I am not going to tell myself "just a little bit" any longer. It is gone, out, vanished from my hands...and how do I feel?
I am still movin, movin, movin!!! I don't know what I would do without my walks during the day!
And my water intake, still rockin the 100oz or more!!! Gotta have the fluids or I feel soooo thirsty!
I know Trisha has been a busy bee! I can't wait to hear about her efforts!!! Is it hard to keep up the good habits when your away? I find it hard to keep up the good work when I am at home, I have about 10,000 other things I need to do but I just tell myself, I have to take care of me first...that is the hard part. ME FIRST!

Another cool tool!
--Trisha
I just found a water consumption calculator! Seeing as how we have been shooting for 100 ounces, and I have been meeting the challenge (yesterday 125 and today 115 ounces), I was excited to see that based on my weight, I should be drinking 118 ounces. So, I need to drink 3 more ounces!
Check it out right HERE!
P.S. I can't weight until my body gets used to this extra water, and I am not running to the restroom every other minute!

Challenge #1
Stephanie here...
So our first challenge has started this morning. YAY!!! Trisha and I will be attempting to reach the goal of 100oz of water a day. This competition will be good for me because I have good intentions of drinking a lot of water but by afternoon, I have slowed down to almost a halt on intake. I don't drink soda but ice tea is good. I love water and I miss it when I don't get a lot of it. On the weekends, I don't drink as much water as I do when I am at work, so having this challenge during the weekend will totally benefit me! I figure, "they" say the best thing you can do for your diet is drink lots and lots of water and stay hydrated. So what a great way to start our healthy lifestyle change!
It will be interesting to see what the scale says on Monday after being consistent on water??
Trisha,
I love your picture!!! I can't wait to see our end results!
