Please Join Us and Take on a Week At A Time Challenge #11
 
The object of this thread is to take on at least one challenge related to your weight loss goals for 7 days straight. Choose whatever inspires you - a certain amount of water intake, no sugar, 30 minute walks, etc.

I will award accolades for each day you maintain your goal(s), and 7 day winner awards and pounds down at the end of the week. We will begin each challenge on Monday - you can choose a new challenge or repeat any challenge for extra mileage. If you would like to stretch yourself, take on more than one challenge.

We will support each other keeping in mind to stay focussed on our successes and/or challenges of the day and week related to our weight loss. There are plenty of threads where a lot of time is spent on personal stories, so let's try to keep that to a minimum.

mscat-
All that we have is right now.
Yesterday is gone, Tomorrow is not promised, and Someday is not a day of the week!

Monday (Sunday??) Post
 
Hi My Lovely Ladies! I am still here. I was so busy and tired - I thought it was Sunday! DH has had me on another construction project - this weekend we were building a shed which took longer than we expected - the directions said it can be assembled in one day. HAH! One 18 hour day. Anyway, I am so tired and so sore - we worked in the dark 2 nights this weekend. I am not complaining - it was fun and I am loving that I am becoming Tooltime Jane - I have my own drill, saw, etc.

The garage project unearthed a family of chipmunks in our house! Our cats chase them but unlike mice - do not harm them (fortunately) so Greg and I caught 2 by hand and released them outside. I har another one in here so I better take care of it. Before I go . . .

Welcome :wave: to our newbie AliLewis- We don't worry about "pound" goals - we focus on "doing" goals - knowing that weight loss (or inch loss) is a benefit. So you are on the right track!

Debi :cheer: for great success with your goals. I will give accoclades for your successes from last week on Tuesday. I am so off with the holiday!

Bonnie :grouphug: we are here for you as always! Think of how wonderful it will be the next time your DGD comes you will be even healthier and have more energy as you continue to achieve your goals.

Allie :cb: for pounds down! You are doing so great!

carla :lol: you are so cute! Meow - the kitty is back on the prowl!

flipafart (?) are you joining us?

I have to run and feed DH and me - we are hungry, sore, and dehydrated - will chat more tomorrow and catch up on last week's accolades. Sorry for all the confusion with the holiday!

Hiya.. DH went into hospital for three days last week (for ten years and well, his whole life, he's never been in the hospital.. had pneumonia in June, they think it snuck back up on him and made him deathly ill.. it was scary) and was sick since Monday.. so I did well for most of it but ended up not eating one day except two small granola bars that morning.. which made me reaaaaally tired the next day. We just drove in from Beaumont. It's 10:30 pm now, we went to Emily's baby shower. It was great, kids had a ball fishing in my Papa's pond, caught their first fish!, got to see their great-grandparents, fed cows and gathered eggs, etc. We all have colds, all six kids and us. So needless to say I'm not worried about my challenge. Just saying hello. I have appointments for him and the kids tomorrow and Wed. so I'll be driving nearly all day both days. Hope you all are doing well, sorry to come and unload. Hope to slow down and can get back to worrying about myself a little. We'll see. (I did pretty good when I was gone, just didn't track it all. Think I probably maintained. I hope!) Have a great week. If I don't get back this week, I hope to start next Monday off with a bang! Hugs! :wave: (Oh yeah, if you want to see that article they did about me on www.AmericaOnTheMove.org, just go to the site, and sign in real quick, then log in with your password and it'll come right up as the featured story thingy. LOL. It's odd to see myself there, but neat too. Good motivation I think. Hope you get to go look at it.) Bye for now!

Where is everyone!
 
We are missing some folks out there!

Bonnie dear - I know you gained weight by the end of the week - but I wanted to give you kudos for the first pound lost you reported at the beginning. Don't worry - those repeat pounds will be off in no time!

Your beef roast sounds delicious. I am married to my slow cooker (and my George Foreman!). Have a great day everyone.

:wave: friends!

I am so glad to be here and believe me, it is helping me tremendously. :)

Got both of my challenges done for today already.

1. Walked down 25 flights of stairs
2. Drank 5 cups of water


Woo hoo - I'm done now till tomorrow 'n then it's time to start it all over again. :lol:

mscat, I'm so glad you're back [we missed you!]

Sounds like even though you've been doing some hard work, that you've really been enjoying yourself 'n that's good to hear! :)

Bonnie, how're you doing today with your calories and getting your exercise in? I hope good! And, am so glad that you're keeping on. :) :balloons:

Soon2BFitChick, good for you with not gaining any. I'm proud of you! :cp:

How's your DH feeling now? I hope much better! Also, I hope that you all get over your colds soon and also that life can get back to normal for you soon as well. :grouphug:

Hi Bobbi! Congratulations on losing 27 pounds - what an accomplishment!! :) :bravo:

Let us know how you do with your pedometer and your steps. I always thought that I'd like to get one but never have. What kind do you have and do you recommend it?

Bonnie, I just read your last post and way to go with getting your exercise in. It also sounds like you're doing really good with your calories as well. Keep up the good work! :) :)

I hope you're all having a good day!

Love,

Debi

:grouphug: Hello Everyone!

So far I am on track. Every day I have had 8 glasses of water. Yesterday I did my WATP 2miles, this was amazing because I have been sick with the flu all weekend and yesterday, I felt like crap. Knowing I was going to report into you ladies helped me get through the 30 minutes.

:thanks: Thanks for your support! It really does help keep me from giving up.

deborah.jennelle 09-07-2005 12:50 PM

mscat, how're you doing today? I hope good and that you're not as sore as you were yesterday. :flow1:

Allie, :cheer: Way to go with keeping on track even though you were sick. I'm can't say that I would do so good if I weren't feeling good.

Bonnie, I'm so glad that your weight dropped and that it was mostly from the salt and water. [Whew - what a relief, huh?! :lol:]

Good for you for deciding to get up and exercise even if you didn't feel like it. I'm proud of you! :cp: :cp:

As for myself for today ...

I've completed all of my challenges so that's over with till tomorrow. [Yea!!] *lol*

1. Walked down 25 flights of stairs
2. Drank 5 cups of water


Bonus: I walked down an extra 5 flights of stairs for a total of 30 flights done! :cb: :dancer:

Hope you're all having a good day!

Love,

Debi
