completely forgot to post this week.

May be too late but here goes:

0 squats/lunges (don't want to mess up my work out routine as is still new). Doing a lot of running so don't want to put more pressure on my knees or ankles.

Weight - 202.8!

Yay!
 
Week 3 background information:

If I do my standard 6.5 miles on the treadmill at 4.3 mph - maintenance works out for me to be 2150 calories...

It would obviously be noticeably less if I did not do my daily walk - but I always do it so that is not an issue...

I sometimes do a little more exercise...

I am more concerned about hitting my nutritional targets than about getting too great a deficit. It is quite possible that some of my recent gain is sodium based so water consumption is more important than a deficit for me.
 
I think it may be too late for me as well. I'll post here anyway.

- Did you do at least 2 hours of exercise over the week?
5 hours

- What was your result with squats and lunges?
0 squats, still drinking 1 gallon or more of water per day

- What's your new weight?
from 198 lbs to 192.8 lbs
 
Day 2 Diary (will edit for the rest of the day)

1 chicken salad sandwich (homemade, low fat mayo and not much of it, I like my chicken salad drier) on wheat with sprouts.

My usual large salad at work (see other posts)

3 domino size slices of cheese

half gallon of splenda sweetened tea
2 diet dr pepers
1 V8 (70 calories)

I know that I'm probably at least 100-200 calories off on dinner because my fiance made it and I know I didn't know exactly what he put in it. But, 1968 calories isn't enough for me to have in a day, so it's a good thing if it is off.

Yikes. Not such a good day yesterday but I'll be honest and post it all:

Breakfast - Small Chicken pannini with no sauce (300 cals)
Snack - grapes
Lunch - salad with 1/2 grilled chicken breast, 1/2 slice of bacon probably, 1 boiled egg and small amount of goats cheese, no dressing (probably 600 calories? more?)
1/2 kit kat - 115 cals
Dinner - 1 small skewer each of rilled chicken breast and grilled lamb, sliced tomatoes, 1 pitta bread (600 cals?)
Snack - toasted tea cake (150 cals)
2 chocolate biscuits (150 cals)
5 cups of tea (30 cals of milk)
2 litres of water with small amount of squash (15 cals)

I know I got to sort out the craving for chocolate things...Friday night is traditionally "treat night" in our house so its a hard habit to break
 
PlumpHope- Would it be possible to get a list of the next few challenges coming up? I liked that we knew 3 weeks worth of challenges at a time so I could prepare myself for them. Thanks!

1 pork loin sandwich (slice of pork loin, two slices of wheat bread)

1 bowl of Chicken Paprika (Amy made it with very little sour cream so it's actually pretty healthy!)

New challenges:

Yes of course you get to know what the next challenges are... You should also know the results from last week soon, as I just got super absorbed with some personal drama and slacked on my part, but I will have the results from last week up by MONDAY, and keep up the great effort toward this weeks food diary challenge!!!

As far as the next few weeks....

Week Four: I have walked 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more...
January 22nd to January 28th is all about going the distance... Literally. Simply make a point of seeing how many miles (Or kilometers if that's your thing, I'll convert it!) you can travel in a week! We'll count any type of miles, so get creative! Then, per usual, on Thursday send me the number of miles you walked/ran/jogged/biked/swam/etc., amount of time you exercised, and your new weight.

Week Five: Are you ARMED and dangerous?
January 29th to February 4th is the week we focus on our upper body strength... Specifically our arms! It's a rather simplistic challenge, but whoever does the most push-ups or pull-ups over the week wins! I know there are many other ways to work out your arms, but let's return to the olden days for a bit! Whoever does the most wins, so on Thursday send me the number of push-ups/pull-ups completed, ammount of time you exercised, and your new weight!

Week Six: Fruits and Vegetables are Friendly!
February 5th to February 11th is another diet focused week. This time we're working to see who is consistantly eating the correct portion/servings of fruits and veges each day. The goal to aim for is two servings of both, every day, no more, no less. Let's be conscious of our choices, and on Thursday send me a message explaining how you did with your fruit and vege servings, ammount of time you exercised, and your new weight!!
 
hmm, looks like week 4 will be ok, week 5 could be interesting and suits me nicely, week 6 I will bomb completely as i eat more serves of each than that.

ps. are these girl pushups or full pushups ?
