MJ: Is it Wednesday Already?

Hi, girls! Just wanted to sign in quickly and let you know how I'm doing on the challenge. Thanks for your help on my $ calculating issue. I decided that the morning walks will only be 1/2 of a full workout because they are not strenuous. Thanks for that idea, Janis.

So, let's get down to business...I measured this morning and am happy to say that the inch I lost last week has not resurfaced! Hooray! I'm losing a little bit on my legs but that is where I always lose inches first. I hope to see some more progress in my abs soon. When it comes to apples and pears, I'm an apple shape:)

I didn't do so well on my food journal last week. I took notice of everything that I was eating, I just missed a couple of days writing it down. So, I'll be starting over with the journal this week. Wish me luck! I want to reach that milestone by the end of this month.

I placed a lot of my focus on water intake last week and I have so much more energy! It's amazing how much better I feel. Maybe I've been walking around in a dehydrated stupor for the last couple of years.

This week I'll focus on ab workouts, bigger breakfasts and H2O.

I will be depositing $13 (A combination of this week and last week.)

P.S. I went to the grocery store this morning and bought more yogurt, a multivitamin, wheat bread and HALLOWEEN CANDY!!!!! I couldn't control the impulse. Maybe I better put my food journal right next to the candy bag in my pantry!

Make a big card or something with bold print that shows how many calories, fat, carbs, etc are in those candies and tape it to the bag. Maybe that will help! And good for you! You're doing great! I'm so proud of all of my Ya-Ya Sisters!

Glad to hear that the water is making you feel better (it's just making me pee more but I expect to see some benefits soon!). Check out the online journals. SparkPeople.com allows you to track the amount of water you drink. And Maria told me that FitDay.com has a software program that you can download and run without having to be online. However, I don't know if it's a free download or if there's a charge. Anyway, check them out! xoxo
