I am nursing so I have a calorie range, not knowing exactly how many calories I burn nursing, I just eat in a range. Sometimes I think they are too generous with calories for a nursing mom. I love the math!!Emily Shafenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06302683446727871301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483208361465627515.post-73072964049855585862010-05-25T15:25:18.276-04:002010-05-25T15:25:18.276-04:00Audrey, your calorie math makes me dizzy.

I say do the challenge but like Audrey said don't worry about counting the points so much. Audrey, Samantha and I are going to the beach this weekend with our families, I plan on enjoying our few days of vacation but am not looking at it as a way to eat all I want. Moderation and exercise, that's my plan.The Queen Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155350213939987094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483208361465627515.post-52579145685642580692010-05-25T14:57:57.286-04:002010-05-25T14:57:57.286-04:00I still plan on posting and commenting when I am a...I still plan on posting and commenting when I am around. You can't get rid of me :) I'll also continue to keep track of calories, exercise while I'm here. I won't have access to a computer while we are gone. I've already decided this vacation is not going to be an eat yourself sick. We rented a cottage with a kitchen, so we plan on eating the majority of our meals there. We have a ton of physical activities planned everyday. I'm taking my running watch with me so I can keep track of miles for Cat's challenge. As far as the two weeks instead of three. If people are doing a lot of traveling this summer, it might be easier. It's always a mental game when you're points are so low, then you can clear them faster, and start again, and get a faster shot at getting those points high.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04552193595179934652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483208361465627515.post-43219776119964044852010-05-25T13:09:49.105-04:002010-05-25T13:09:49.105-04:00Thank you for this post.

SO I know that means exercise everyday which I do 6 x a week. My goal is to not go over the 1700 that way, like you if I work out more that day I get more calories burned towards losing. <br /><br />You are wonderful!<br /><br />Alicia, I am going out of town tomorrow. My goal is to still count calories as much as possible so I can keep on track and continue to feel good. Obviously the points will be lower without posting but the most important points on taking care of myself will still be in check.<br />I am excited to hear about your trip. HOW FUN!!<br />It always seems for me that I do awesome on trips because we do a lot of walking so even though I eat more cal. with eating out all the time and not knowing what they put in the food all the time. I work it off with all the walking which feels great :)Jill Heapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066967124817959089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483208361465627515.post-43704617112306962762010-05-25T12:08:38.728-04:002010-05-25T12:08:38.728-04:00Alicia I'm glad that you're looking at a ...Alicia I'm glad that you're looking at a range, it makes things a little easier.<br /><br />As for your question...I'd say don't try to keep track of your points for the next session, but I'd love if you'd still participate in posting, commenting and doing your best in your new habits while you are in town! You are a great asset and an inspiration to us all.<br /><br />I have a feeling it's going to be like this for some of the summer and I'm looking for ideas of how to work with that. I was thinking two week sessions. What do you think?Audrey Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03563135681489520320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483208361465627515.post-87531672933668007092010-05-25T11:51:55.699-04:002010-05-25T11:51:55.699-04:00That is about where I am at with my calories.
O...That is about where I am at with my calories. <br /><br />Off the subject question or advice on what you think I should do. My husband and I are going on a ten year anniversary trip during the next challenge. I will be missing half of it. While I love to keep track of my points, I know it's just not going to happen on our vacation. Should I keep track of the points while I am here and still participate this next challenge, or should I step out of this challenge and start again on the next one?Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04552193595179934652noreply@blogger.com
