Count me in! My goals are :
1. Lose 18 lbs!
2. 60 oz. of water daily!
3. Log in to FJ every day.
4. Reduce Body Fat 2 to 3 %
5. Average 20 miles of walk/run a week.
6. Run a 5K in this period.
As you stated, this will be a challenging period. We must stay strong and committed to succeed. Any steps backwards must be compensated with more steps foward.
Good Luck to All!!!

Logging my food intake
I can already tell I'm in with a good group that believes in accountability. So - here we go!! |

Happy Hump day everyone! Oh boy, have I ever slacked off this week. The last few days have been nice and cool, a little wet but otherwise great running weather and I haven't done a thing. Hopefully today I'll find the motivation to run a few miles and get back into the swing of running. Planning on heading north again for the weekend with more waterskiing, biking, swimming, hopefully a run around the lake. Last weekend, running didn't happen but the everything else I did do even if biking was more of a leisurely ride. Enjoy the rest of the week!

My goals for the 12 week challenge.
1. Run/walk 4 days a week.
2. Lose 10-12 lbs. (Just during this challenge, I have more to lose long term)
3. Track all my food intake.
4. Drink water. |

Hey Sherron, Do you mean DRINK as in water or the alcoholic kind--LOL? Are you doing this in the Atlanta heat? Bless you!
My first week of this challenge has been mediocre at best so far as life seemed to get in the way. I did get a good elliptical workout this evening and walked the dogs. I remember someone saying that if you do the elliptical flat footed, you get a better workout. Boy that's true!!
Anyway, I plan to pick up the pace this weekend and hopefully jumpstart the remainder of the challenge. Keep up the good work everyone, and don't get discouraged is you have a few bad days.

Tammie,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom a little over a year ago suddenly and well before her time to go, I thought. I was so glad that I had a visit with her around Christmas just days before she passed away. There are no guarantees in life, that's for sure. Just hang in there and feel what you need to feel.
