Hey All! I am feeling great today! I had a slow start but did get out of bed so, thats a start.. I had a large coffee, black of course so now I am ready to go!! I had a big breakfast/ brunch I guess.. whole wheat toast and an egg scrambled with onions and red peppers.. YUM! I had a bite of my hunnies meatball sub too.. shame on me, but I didnt eat the whole thing so, I'm moving on! I am going to try to talk my hunny into going swimming with me tonight, but it is supposed to snow so, I dont know if driving would be a great idea. Who knows.. Anyway, Question: Have any of you signed up for castleguards Valentines Day challenge? I'm wondering when we're going to get the details. I was supposed to lose 20 pounds by then but, I dont see that happening... My weight loss has been at a stand still since I got hurt. But today I am going to work out as much as possible... Time to speed things up! Hope everyone is having a great day so far! I'm off to do one of my videos. I'm going to get the kids to do it with me!!! Talk to you all tonight! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! P.S. I looked at a site today that calculated how many cals I'm supposed to eat to lose the 2 pounds a week I am hoping for, and it said I can have 2300 cals a day!! I couldnt believe I could have that many! I dont get anywhere near that on days that I am good so I dont know what the issue is. I think if I could stop cheating I would have it made! Plus, I think I'm getting too much sodium.. Only time will tell.. I just had to share that because it blew my mind! I've been shooting for 1000-1200!

I think sodium is definitely a possibility! I realized the other day just how much I was consuming and it floored me! I started paying more attention to that even than the calories...and I\'ve lost a bit - more quickly than I think I would have otherwise. Try drinking even more water and keeping your sodium to less than 2400 mg a day (it\'s hard, I know!) but I think you\'ll see fast results that way! I can\'t reveal my number yet...it\'ll be even more dramatic on Friday! Woohoo!!
I\'m so glad to hear that you\'re having a good day! It makes me happy. High five to you for only taking one bite of that sub...they\'re one of my favorites!! Have fun with your workout and I\'ll talk with you soon! (I\'m not doing the V-day challenge because it would veer me onto a different path...even for a couple of weeks, I think that would be bad for me since I\'m doing so well right now...but good luck with it! I can\'t wait to see how you do!)
Great to hear you\'re doing better today. I\'ve been giving that V. day challenge a lot of thought. I don\'t feel comfortable doing it outside the confines of DS and posted that opinion today. People have been messaging me about it to ask my advice. I feel bad, but it just seems like too much too soon. You know?
I\'m with derricksma on this too. Just not comfortable giving out my info. Glad you\'re feeling better, and wow about the sodium. How much are we supposed to have daily?
I dont know how much we\'re supposed to have daily, I\'m still looking into that. I dont know anything about the V day challenge. I just found out about it. Whats going on?
