Skylark Prather's Performance
Challenge: 10% by Spring

"I wrote everything down and I was on track all but one day"

"I bought myself a new dress at the Goodwill sale. (I have not worked since December.)"

"I laid off a few days for my birthday"

"Hard to do with a vegetarian diet."

"I have been eating vegetarian. Low carbs doesn't really fit with that. Besides if I eat low carb it puts my blood sugar in the 50s and sometimes the 40s."

"Last weekend I really did not do well, and actually went above 1600. But the rest of the week I shaved the calories off to make up for the excess so I still averaged out at less than 1600. I am still working on what to eat when going out as can be seen in my March 25th journal. But I do really well at home where I can control the ingredients. Hopefully I will be OK tonight at the pitch-in chili supper. "

"I am constantly over 30 minutes and have worked out everyday for the last 2 or 3 weeks."

"There is no way for me to do this mini-challenge and stay on the vegetarian diet I am currently trying. I did try to bump up my protein this week and it resulted in taking in more calories than I wanted to and slowing my weight loss. :-( So this mini-challenge is not for me."

"It's my birthday so I am thinking about giving myself the day off from recording food. I am still being careful what I eat. ..."

"Wow. I sure had a fun day, but it has played some havoc with my diet. I do really well with my meals when I'm at home, but ..."

"I have been bumped my exercise up to over an hour a day."

"I really had a good weekend, and I guess my food journal revealed that. Now it's time to get back to work, count calories, ..."

"Most days I drink a whole bottle during my early morning exercise. I find this a good start to 64 oz."

"I actually go below that number since my basel rate is around 1400."

"I always write everything down. I also find that if I change up my calories every few days it "surprises" my body a little. This seems to help me lose weight."

"Well, today started out well. I sure am glad I began well with lots of fiber and good choices in food. I am just a little ..."

"I had an awesome day. Got all my exercise in plus a little extra, then went out with my daughter. I was so busy today I ..."

"I noticed that 4 .5 liter bottles are a little more than 64 oz. After that it was a easy. I actually have been drinking 5 some days."
