just a step challenge, to get people moving! 13000 steps, which is super easy and only about 6.5 miles, since around 2000 steps is a mile, depending on your stride. Just have to sign up with me! But, it's very easy to do, already have more than half for the day today and I still have 8 hours at work on my feet!
For anyone who is skeptical, check out the page that our team made up for the July 10-day Shakeology challenge, join us and see how you'll do. Last month, as a group, 42 people reported their numbers and collectively we lost 134.4 lbs. and 37.15"! Which is great! Let's get more involved and see if we can beat that record! http://teamsteelcoaches.com/coaches/carrie-stevens/10-day-shakeology-challenge/ The one who won lost 12.2 pounds! It can be done in just 10 days and gives you lots of energy! I'm half way through to my goal and building muscle, so things are looking great!
OK.. so I have to have a bit of a rant or feel sorry for myself, Im not sure which it is!!!So, as the weather gets warmer and the lake is opens its really hard to stay on track with my food.. still working out minimum 3 times a week.. and if it every stops fricken raining I will get some weekend workouts in outside .. I struggle with this every year..all of our friends are enjoying happy hour snacks and drinks and big dinners and I feel very deprived.. and if I do give in.. BAM!.. 3 to 5lbs back on.. then its a fight all week to get them off again.. if I allow myself maybe a couple drinks while we are sitting around playing guitar and singing, then it all go to hell in a hand bag.. haha!!.. and of course my friends all eating and drinking and being merry and I am just miserable.. ;( there seems to be no balance for me.. its all or nothing. If I want to save myself I have to go to bed at 10pm .. why can other people do all of this eating and drinking and I cant.. its really starting to PISS ME OFF!!... lol How do others balance this on the weeknds.. for me its eat or drink.. not both and of course one without the other is not good either.. Sigh! ;( .. I am just so tired of it being the same thing every weekend..do people that want to have fun on the weekends drink and eat salads..I dont care if i drink thats not it .. but even if i dont I dont want to eat, one egg, one piece of bread and ham for lunch and 4 oz chicken and salad for dinner while everyone else is having BBQ burgers or ribs or a freaking Hot dog on a whole bun.. ahaha!! .. every one says oh in moderation.. well once a week is in moderation no?.. a few drinks and one day of NORMAL food.. grrrrr.. lol is anyone else like this?.. am I obsessed over 5 lbs... if i dont take it off during the next week.. then its another 5 lbs the next weekend..now I have 10 lbs to get off and so on.. Im not fighing to stay under weight and I am not over weight but could stand to loose another 10lbs to be in the bottom of normal weight for my height. how do I get off this rollercoaster?.. ok im finished the rant.. lol
I feel your pain! I had a hard time with this and still do! I'm finding my right mix of calories and drinks and exercise. But, I did find that I have to exercise 6 days a week, take one day off, but still do some walking or stretching or something. I also found that I use up more calories, so had to increase my calorie intake. I've found turkey burgers are just as good as a regular burger, if you get the right kind. I found a great way to make a single serve pizza that is only 300 calories and fills me up! I don't eat a lot of salads, I do eat a lot of fruit, drink my shake in the morning and keep my snacks light during the day so Temptation doesn't take over. I think you'll get it. The last 5 pounds will come off! I'm getting there, my plan is working out great for me! Hope this helps a little, but if not, I'm sorry! I do understand though!
it really is driving me crazy.. haha!! I have done Jenny, weightwatchers, slim fast, isogenics (shakes), my own diet, worked out , not worked out, its the same all the time..up 4 or 5 lbs down 4 or 5 lbs..thats usually after I lose 10 to 20 lbs.. I cant get it to stablize..and I cant eat 1500 calories everyday for the rest of my life.. lol what else can it be.. medical? Metabolism ? old age? it sucks, I know that much..lol
Oh you are funny! You are not old! You will get there! It's a journey to take every day! Diets never helped me, I always gave up. My problem areas are from my grandmother, the one and only thing she gave me! So, honestly when I found the shakes I do now, along with beachbody, and the bodybugg system I work with, I found out how I could stablize everything and I'm watching my food intake and making better choices. I honestly even had a chicken carbonara sub from Quizno's this weekend and was still under my 1500 calorie target! If you eat more, you have to exercise more, it's a balance. It is a struggle for me everyday, but posting my progress on here helps me. I post on here and on facebook, I'm sure everyone gets annoyed with my posts, but it helps me to be more motivated, and I want others to join me on my journey! It's not something I can do on my own, so I'd rather have a great team of people helping me out to do it! Which is where you come in! You've helped me, so don't give up on yourself!
