Ugh, I wish I could've joined the beach-hopping challenge, but I was too miserable and zoned out on meds to try to jump on the dangerous treadmill, lol. Good news is that I haven't missed the red team challenge, yay! Glad to hear everyone's doing great!

I got my package yesterday with Bob's book, my new Jari Love dvd (Slim & Lean), and Jillian's 30 day shred dvd. I did the Jari Love dvd last night, but was only able to do 55 minutes of it. I skipped about 10 minutes, but will be able to work up to it soon. I'm really sore today. It was a great workout!

I've been painting my bedroom all day and I'm really sore. I'm sure being sore from my workout yesterday didn't help at all. I'm ready to lay in front of the tv and veg out for a while! Off to post my numbers in the challenge thread!

I'm more of a dog person but pretty much LOVE any baby animal no matter the type. Kittens are adorable! I hope he gets stronger soon! I just want to squeeze him and I haven't even seen him! ;) I love animals!

Congrats on your kitty! Our cat had kittens 2 weeks ago today- I was hoping for 1, LOL! (lucky you)-- But we got 4- 3 are pure white and one is grey with white feet and chin and striped tail (looks like mom, but with less white)-- they are finally getting cute- opening their eyes. It was a great experience for my kids though, they watched her birth and take care of them. Very sweet.

Anyway- I had a fantastic week! I am down 6+ lbs this week and feeling very much in control and like this really is going to be a long term thing this time around. Yes, the competition with my family is motivating, but I've had the "click" too-- and I really am ready to be thinner. :) Tonight we got pizza- but I limited myself to 2 pieces and also had a whole whack of cut up veggies to go along with it. Not too shabby for my "free day". Still need to get in a walk tonight too.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Too bad you live so far away. I'd love to have that gray one...sniff sniff...

Ksk, I'm excited for you about Bob's book, The Jari Love dvd, and Jillian's 30 day shred dvd. Fifty-five min's is awesome gf! One of these day's you'll think those are soooo easy, hehe. :D

gaia, sorry you're feeling under the weather. Hope ya feel better soon. :)

OH! My movie is o, I lost rack of time.... :wave:Everyone!!!

Roni, you're so funny. I could just see you sitting there with your little "angels" on your shoulder having this conversation and people around you like, WTH is with her???? :D

Funny thing, just the other day I was at Target for some things, and I was craving chocolate like nobody's business...pms city, man! I had put some chocolates into my cart and was wheeling around the store...when all of a sudden I was hit with this 'feeling', I dont know how to describe it...but all of a sudden I got all panicky and thought, 'now what would you do if Bob walked around that corner and there you had that bag of chocolate in the cart'? I was so embarrassed! LOL Right there, in my own little world and I'm all red in the face. Never the less, I put that candy away and forgot about it fast. lol So I guess I musta had the "MelBobJillian angel" speaking to me? :D :D

Karen, the Jillian dvd you got, is it for beginners or more advanced? I had bought a double set of hers a while back without realizing that it was an advanced set and there is no way I can even keep up! Am interested to know how you like her stuff! Enjoy Bob, its a GREAT book!

jelynn, WTG on the loss! That is fantastic!!!! :woohoo: Wow, a free day and only 2 pieces of pizza. You rock chicky!

Gaia, hope you're feeling better today!

Melissa, sorry about the sickies but oh so thrilled for you and your loss!!! :carrot:

I'm so glad you had the "click"! I had mine right at the new year. It really does make a difference. I've wanted to lose weight for so long and started and stopped so many times since then. I still have bad days and get in small funks, but overall I'm determined to do it this time. I think the "click" has made all the difference. 6 pounds is awesome! Keep it up, girl!

I haven't done Jillian's dvd yet. I'm hoping to do it tomorrow. From what I understand, there are 3 levels to the workout. I think Cathy has it and has been doing it. She may have some insight. I'll try it out and let you know what I think. I've never done any of Jillian's workouts. I can't wait to start Bob's book! Of course mine's not autographed. ;)

I cant wait to hear how ya like her. I've done her stuff on the BL dvd but it's sorta all over the place....
Ugh, and the autographed thing....about had to scrape me up off the floor when I got right in front of him! He is GORGEOUS!!! And he smelled pretty good too! LOL :D And you bet your sweet patootie I was sniffing!

Just a quick flyby to say hello. Having a busy weekend! Still on track though and the weigh in put me down 3 lbs :D Only a lb. from my original goal :woohoo:

Let's go into week 2 just as strong - we are gonna rock this challenge. I just LOVE our RED team!

Hey girls! I'm also doing a quick flyby to say hi!! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I've made it to the gym 2x today, this morning for running and this evening for swimming. I'm also going to be doing the "push" challenge this evening so that I can post my numbers. I'll be back on either later tonight or tomorrow to catch up.

Oh no no no! I'm not getting credit for that triumph! That was all channeling the higher power of bob!! LOL! Excellent job woman!! I'm so very proud of you and it paid off!!....2 lbs gone!

Just got back from a 55 minute walk! (told you I was committed- 9 pm on a Saturday night and I'm walking!)-- I met my friend and we walked around a very large parking lot for almost an hour. I thought it would be about a half hour- time goes fast when you are being chatty, lol.

Danielle and Roni- that is hilarious. I'm going to totally think of Bob/Jillian following me around the store next time I go shopping.

Andi- 2x at the gym! WOW!

time to relax for a bit before bed...
