Day 1: (yesterday) - Took a new class at the gym and I'm in PAIN today! Ate pretty good. Protein rich dinner and lunches. No breakfast though.Chat Icon Also took a long walk with my hubby.

Day 2: Starting C 2 5k today. YIKES!

ETA: That was rough! Need to run a lot more. Cardio strength has been much better. Eating was fine today.

Re: **75-day Challenge: Countdown to Memorial Day!!!**

I'll join! I've been staying the same but I want to lose about 15 lbs to reach my goal. I'm in a wedding in July, so to reach my goal by Memorial day would be GREAT!

I've been running 3x a week, adding 1/4 mile each week. This week I'm on 2.5 miles per run. Also doing free weights and trying to take pilates classes.

Hi all! Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing! Chat Icon
Day 3 for me...down about 2 lbs (all water weight, I know). The weather has been great so I've been walking with the baby a lot. I need to get on the treadmill tonight after the kids are in bed though!
I know I still have to add a few people to my first post. Will do that tonight too!!

Day 3 - Not great. Was hungry all day! Still really sore from my class on Monday and run yesterday so took the day off from the gym but did a good amount of walking around the city. Gorgeous day to go shoppingChat Icon

Tomorrow back to the gym (spinning or yoga??) and hopefully the tape worm will have left my body :-P

I'm in, even if I forget to post for a month or so Chat Icon

I've lost about 10 lbs in the last month or 2.. just cut out most of the crap, eliminating processed foods and have been eating clean at least 75% of the time. Lots of juicing too- its my new addiction.

zumba a few times a week (and other classes if I can fit it in). Also doing Tracy Anderson Metamophysis, but haven't been doing it every single night like I should Chat Icon

Gel seat cover! But once you get used to it you won't need it anymore.

Music is a HUGE part of spin, but it shouldn't have been uncomfortably loud. That is your instructor's fault. Feel fee to speak up next time to have them turn it down. I have done that before in class, because what is the point of blowing out your eardrums?

Re: **75-day Challenge: Countdown to Memorial Day!!!**

I've worked out 4 out of 5 days so far which is HUGE for me. I haven't exercised this much in 10 years! LOL.
I still need to get on track with my eating though...I'm having a tough time breaking my crappy eating habits. It's mostly a problem in the evenings. I feed the kids around 6 but my DH gets home around 9. We like to eat together but I think it's just WAY too late for me bc I end up eating 2 dinners- one with the kids and one with him! Chat Icon Chat Icon
Anyway, I'm going to try something new...eat a salad with the kids and a smaller portioned dinner with my DH. That way I won't be starving by the time he gets home. If anyone else has any suggestions (other than wiring my mouth shut Chat Icon ) I would love to hear them!!!

Re: **75-day Challenge: Countdown to Memorial Day!!!**

I'm 1 lb up from last week due to a bachelorette party in AC last weekend (I weigh in on Fridays). But I went to the gym 5 days this week, and ran 2.5 miles 3 days this week.

Started my week of running 2.75 miles. First run felt great! Debating about whether to run tomorrow AND take pilates, or just run.

Re: **75-day Challenge: Countdown to Memorial Day!!!**

I am def in. I want to lose th last 10/15 lbs I ave from pregnancy.

Diet: I am gonna track my calorie ntake. Make better choices. Exercis as much as possible. Walk outside and gym.

I plan on starting next week. My hubby and I r going on vac in 2 days.

I need to keep this goal and meet it.

Anyone have any website or app tut may help me track calories and exercise. I don't wanna do ww. I never have time to weigh in. I m also trying to be penny wise.

Re: **75-day Challenge: Countdown to Memorial Day!!!**

i was terrible this weekend. girls night fri, st pat's day party sat, baby shower and st pats dinner with the ILs sunday- how i didnt gain 10lbs is beyond me.

but, moving past that...

Yesterday- 1 hr Zumba class (with an amazing instructor!) in the AM.

@ night- Tracey Anderson metamorphosis- omni centric (i do the muscle sculpting, but usually replace the dance cardio with zumba or another class).

today- zumba class this evening (crappy class... i'm so not a snob, but i really wouldnt call this class zumba at all) and about to do day 2 of meta.
