I am dedicating my weight loss efforts this month to Jessie. For those who don't know Jessie, she is the dgd of one of our Golden Girls family - Theresa [Littlered] - see photo attached. Jessie has recently been fitted with braces and has to use her precious little muscles to learn to use her arms and legs. As a person who is lucky enough to be able to exercise, I think of Jessie often as I exercise. This month, I will send her my positive thoughts and prayers for the ability to get control over her little arms and legs.

ellabella · 08-29-2007, 02:55 PM

Zoe's corner....<groan; I HAVE to do this!>

WW points ......... Minutes of exercise................

Oh! I get it! You don't keep posting! You keep coming back and EDITING! I didn't understand.
Okay - I'll do yesterday and the day before (I'm not even THINKING about *winning* this challenge; just want to be accountable!)

Monday, 9/3:

22 PTS, exercise - 60 minute bike ride, 90 minutes of hiking

Tuesday, 9/4:

27 points (Doing Wendi) - NO exercise; just lots & lots of driving and meeting with people and getting MENTALLY exhausted. Too bad that doesn't count, eh?

Wednesday, 9/5:

23 PTS, 30 minute walk and nuffin' else - really tiring day at work and feeling drained. Now I feel drained and GUILTY - for not exercising enough!

Thursday, 9/6:
37 <gulp> points - exercise = 30 min. walking (Funny, Bobbi questioned the "edit" buttons. AS I scroll over other people's posts, I don't see any edit buttons, and didn't see any on the GG thread, not even on my own posts. I don't have any idea whether this is normal or not???)

Friday, 9/7:
23 points - exercise - Zippo! Too tired. Yadda yadda yadda (you know - excuses!)

Saturday, 9/8:
26 points - exercise - Schlepping around the grocery market and mall with my daughters. Four hours! Enough!

Sunday, 9/9:
20-scribble-scrabble (shhhhhhhh!) points - exercise, walking at the reservoir
(Did great on points until midnight when I lost it)

Monday, 9/10:
24 points - exercise - um, uh-uh.

Tuesday, 9/11:
26 points - exercise - chewing and lifting my fork up & down repeatedly; laugh muscles utilized laughing at DH's silly jokes.

Wednesday, 9/12:
22 points - exercise - more chewing, more laughing (it's GOOD for you!) walking around the grocery store, throwing paper balls for the khat, other movement of a less quantifiable nature (wiping off the bathroom mirror, cleaning out the litter boxes, chopping veggies to put on top of our flatbread supper pizzas, and finally, dragging all 168 pounds of me into the bathtub & back out again, and putting it to bed.) Sounds pretty impressive to me...LOL

Thursday, 9/13:
30 points - NO exercise except sneezing forcefully; my bronchitis seems to be coming right on back...coughing, etc. Ack.
