Days 1,2 & 3 of Protein Challenge: Got in at least 90 grams of protein all three days. Haven't had time to post everyday because of work and/or training for the 12K. Survived the 12K today and then went to Church, just waiting for them to post the times online as this idiot didn't look at her watch when she crossed the start line. Maybe the next race I'll remember to time myself, LOL. Can't wait to hear what the next challenge will be as this is helping me to stay on my plan.

Wynn, This is exactly what I meant. Some of us, myself included, can be a little tight in the am or "pressed" for time and need to or choose to drink their protein at times, so I count the grams of protein in my protein powder and if I use skim milk, I count the grams of protein in that too. Most doctors want you to get "solid" protein, but sometimes you can't get enough in the food you eat and have to "supplement" with a protein shake or protein bar.

Wynn, Can't people that are on liquids count their protein grams? Most protein, in solid form, has approximately 6-7 grams of protein per ounce. Couldn't they just make sure that they get 3 meals of at least 21 grams of protein? Just a thought...

Day 5 of Exercise Challenge: Did 30 min. on the elliptiKILL this morning after work, would of pushed myself & done more, but had an appointment at 9 am. Left knee doing okay, will probably have to wear my brace for the 12K on Sunday, but....Hope you all are doing well with your exercising. Bonnie, sorry to hear about your fall, hope you are okay. XOXOXO

Day 4 of Exercise Challenge: Just got back from the gym, only did 30 min. on the elliptiKILL & my wt. training. My left knee is still bothering me & I decided I'd better baby it a bit. :ohmy:

Day 3 of Exercise Challenge: Did 60 min. on the elliptiKILL. Appropriate name as my left knee died, LOL. Can't wait 4 this "training" 2 b finished. NO PAIN NO GAIN, or so the saying goes. Hope everyone is having as much "fun" as I am. :drool:

Day 2 Exercise Challenge: Just got back from the gym, did 30 min. on the ElliptiKILL and 30 min. on the treadmill. A little sore from yesterday's adventure. Got on the scale this morning & lost 7.6 pounds since last Monday, WHOO HOO! :thumbup:

Day 1 of Exercise Challenge: Just got back from an 8-mile walk/jog. Very happy that I finished in under 2 hours, but decided that I'm too friggin' old for this, LOL. After next Sunday, I think I'll go back to leisurely walks or bike rides. Good Luck 2 everyone on the challenge.

Wynn, Did gr8 w the journaling for 3 days and looking forward 2 the exercise challenge, as I'm training for a 12K that I signed-up 4 on next Sunday. Do u want us 2 post daily or @ the end of the challenge? Thanks again 4 all u do!

Wynn, I'm in for the next challenge. I got in over 100 ounces of water per day for the last challenge, but thankfully I've never had a problem getting my water in. Keep the challenges coming as this is helping me to get back on track, thanks again!

Wynn, I'm in for the challenges, I need something to kick-start me back onto the "band-wagon". I'll try to post when I can. Thanks so much for doing this, I hope it helps everyone.
