So, I had a weird urge...

Sunday's Weigh-In: 245.2 lbs
Goal Weight: 175.0
Pounds to Lose: 70.2

So, I had a weird urge to weigh myself this morning. I wasn't pleasantly surprised. It read 243.8. Now, why didn't it say that yesterday. I would have felt a whole lot better if I had lost 3.2 lbs yesterday.

I joined two challenges on myfitnesspal today:

TOPIC: Beginners challenge... 50 miles is October

The October Challenge..... 

Walk, Jog, and/ or Run 50 miles. (or 60 miles if you are up for it ) 

Return to this thread and update you mileage daily or weekly, whatever works for you. 

Feel free to join this thread even if its the middle of the month... the more the merrier. 

Make your personalized ticker from tickerfactory.com 

****** this thread will get locked at 20 pages of comments.... The link for the continuation into a new thread will be on the last comment on page 20**** 

Since I do 3 a day anyway, I'll do 93 but I decided to up it to 100 miles.

TOPIC: October 2013 MOVE IT 180-360+ minutes a Week Challenge!!

Are you ready to MOVE-IT??!!  

Fall is here and we want to be ready to shed those pounds! This is the perfect time to re-commit or jump start your routine! 
What are your fitness goals? Are you still getting in those workouts? Or are you just starting a workout program? Do you need a little more motivation? If so please join us. 
We are a group who are committed to doing 180 to 360+ minutes of exercise each week (minimum 180). We count minutes for all types of intentional exercise: aerobics, walking, weight training, strength work, stretching or heavy gardening. You be the judge of whether it's exercise or not. 
We're here to support, encourage, and set challenges for ourselves. It's all about intention. If we don't make the 180 to 360+ minutes one week, there's next week to go for it. 
The weeks starts every Monday in the month and ends the following Sunday at midnight. Then we start all over again the following Monday for week 2, 3, and 4. (and some months week 5) 
Newcomers are always welcome! 
  MOVE-IT!!!    
If at first you don't succeed, you keep trying...just keep coming back to report progress or non-progress...it doesn't matter...it keeps us accountable and that's how we commit to healthy lifestyles. It is a chance to meet new friends and encourage one another along the way. 
You can use the form below OR make up your own. So who's in for Week #1,2,3, or 4 sometimes 5?? 
Week # 1 -- September 30th -- Goal 000 minutes: 
Mon: 
Tue: 
Wed: 
Thur:
Fri: 
Sat:
Sun:
Total / min left: 0 / 000

Since I do about 45 miles a day anyway, I'll do about 315 miles but I decided go with 300 minutes since I'm trying to get my 3-mile walk time down.

On top of these two, I'm in two weight loss challenges, Lose 15 lbs by Thanksgiving and Lose 20 lbs by Christmas.

I gonna be very busy keeping track of all these challenges.
