Here we are, two weeks in! My brilliant idea has been quite the flop. Only 4 people left a comment last week so the odds of one of you winning is very good! ;) I must have made this giveaway too hard.
I said I was going to exercise, and I did get 3 days in at the gym for a total of 3 hours. I thought I'd exercise at home on my non-gym mornings but yeah, that didn't happen! At the gym I did two Zumba classes, which is a Latin dance style class (my absolute favorite exercise of all time because it is so fun!) and one was a half hour mix of cardio and strength exercises plus a half hour of Pilates. I love my classes!
This week I want to keep exercising and try to eat better. I have hardly been counting calories because we are busy so much of the time that I don't remember what I ate! I really need to get back to that. I know I won't be going to the gym tomorrow so I'll need to get another day of exercise in sometime to make sure I get at least 3 days next week. I also want to drink more water! I've been slacking on that lately.
Is there a tip you'd like to share? Any favorite exercise or new healthy food you've tried recently? Sometimes for a snack I've been eating thawed out frozen organic fruit like mixed berries, mangoes, and peaches. I bought a box of Triscuits and have been eating those once in a while. I normally do not like them (can you say cardboard?) but I found a new flavor- Cracked Pepper and Olive Oil and they are really good! I like to add a wedge of The Laughing Cow light cheese and smear a little bit on each cracker to change it up.
For those of you still with me on this challenge, thank you for sticking to it!

I'm still sticking with it! I even checked your blog early this morning to see if I could post yet. :) This week I have exercised 4 times and am planning on exercising again tomorrow. Water intake has been a bit less than I was hoping but yesterday I got at least 7 glasses of water in so I'm happy about that! The scale has also already been promising as I'm only 2 pounds from my 10 week goal weight. I'm so close I can taste it!
The goal for this coming week is to keep up with the exercise, eating right, and to NOT gain any weight back. Either I maintain my current weight or lose some more!
I don't really have any tips but yes I do love those pepper Triscuits! April always serves them at her house and I just bought a box of them yesterday and am about to open them right now for a little light snack before dinner. :) Don't lose heart! Even if no one else comments, keep doing what you're doing and think how good you'll feel at the end of the ten weeks!
Sorry, I've been a terrible commenter lately! I was trying to think of how I could participate in your contest and I missed the boat! shoot!
My big idea was going to be how to feed my family on our new grocery budget....and see how far under I can come! ;)
Keep up your good work!! (I love our classes too.....even though my butt reeeeally hurts today! LOL)
I was so busy last Friday that I didn't have a chance to post and my efforts at meeting my mini goal was pretty pathetic. I did about 3 days of exercise when I wanted to get 5 in! This week I have done 4 days of exercise and am hoping to do something tomorrow but I guess tomorrow counts towards next weeks goal. Lowfat vanilla yogurt with granola is a great sweet treat and good for you! Those pepper triscuits are to die for and are pretty healthy too. I want to do 5 days of exercise next week and drink 8 glasses of water everday (I am so slacking on that!) Keep going, Sunny!
Well I think the eating habits thing is actually getting better if you don't count LAST NIGHT where we ate lasagne from Ceasars Deli (SOOO GOOD) and I had a gigantic piece of chocolate heath bar cake from Sweet Surrender. YIKES! I think it was good for me though!! I think I'm going to institute a once-a-week cheat day. I was talking with my dad and he knew a guy who lost a LOT of weight that way. He would stick to low calories and no desserts all week long and then every Friday he would cheat and eat whatever he wanted. I like it. lol
You go girl! Sunny this is great but I would not take on any such callenge myself right now ... I am waiting until I start getting sleep again =) But I will cheer you on ... GO SUNNY GO!
Oh and just because I am kinda a nut about health food I can give you a bunch of ideas for food ... but I will call you =)
