Stay on your plan sweetie! You can do it! You'll feel so good if tomorrow you take that 6 inch for lunch and you passed on the cheese crisp. It's not FOREVER, just for today. You don't need it TODAY!
YOU CAN DO IT!
I left the room while he was eating and read a chapter in my book instead. Then when he was done, we ended up taking a nap, lol. When I woke up, I seriously wasnt gonna eat my dinner, because I really wanted to eat that sub tonight. But then I came on here and read what you wrote..and ya, you were so right, I dont need it today!! Thanks so much!! I made my dinner, and will even reward myself with a dvd tonight when we go grocery shopping!! (we go to walmart) That sub will probably taste better tomorrow when its been in the fridge for awhile.
I totally hear you. I am proud of myself for doing the 60 second jogs. I'm terrified of running for 20 minutes straight though!! Do you think we could actually do it Hepfulpinkangel???
We WILL do it!!! I just finished day 2 of week 2 and I'm proud of myself for doing the minute and a half runs! Keep it up . . . we can do it together!
just wanted to pop in with a quick hello. i get in pretty late at night, then i have to get the kids ready for bed, etc. i get on here and try to read as many posts as i can (seems like there are tons every night). unfortunately, i haven't been able to comment much. looks like we're doing a good job. YAY BLUE!

Okay..I'm off to eat my din din now!!
Great job!!! That sub will taste WAY better tomorrow after it sits in the fridge for a bit. A dvd is a great choice for a reward. I'm a dvd-aholic though so maybe you shouldn't listen to me.

I'm a dvd-aholic too!! LoL!! We have 3 dvd racks, dvds in the walk in closet, dvds in this box in the bedroom, dvds in 2 bins by the tv. LoL!! We simply own too many dvds!!
Let that be what matters now! Congrats, that is truly awesome, even with the circumstances, you can't be everything to everyone so hang in there, these times will be hard but you can do it!

I had pressed reply b4 we went out so anything from about the last 2 hours i havent read yet lol.. anyway im gonna go do my dishes now.. and put on some washing b4 it rains again.. later
Oh my, home grown tomatoes are so much better tasting than the store bought ones. I think its because they are allowed to ripen a bit longer on the vine.
Don't forget ladies, a lot of the food at the grocery store is IMPORTED, yes I know (I work in import) This stuff is pulled from the vine and refrigerated FOREVER- like a week or two before it gets to the grocery store, yecky poo!
I LOVE HOME GROWN TOMATOES!!!!

Okay, no we can not have bacon ....turkey bacon ...IT SMELLS LIKE WET DOG!!! Yecky, yecky, yecky.
Ok, now I need to check out the challenge! And make a grocery list...that's what I'm really supposed to be doing right now....
Oh, stalling out on making grocery lists is one of my specialties. I can get through a month of neglected chores and to-do's in an effort to avoid writing down my list! If you need any pointers of how to procrastinate give me a shout.

I'd like to second (or third, I think, since it's already been seconded?) this! You totally rock Michelle!

No snacks due to somethings that are extremely bothering me and just don't have an appetite due to this type of stress. Ate my famous Mexican Chicken Tortilla Soup (without the tortillas) this soup is extremely healthy. Nothing but veggies and chicken. So easy to make. Didn't eat any snacks again due to the stress and it's already almost time for dinner. I am so proud of myself. Woo Hoo.
That's fantastic to hear! The soup sounds very yummy.

I've had a very OP day today. I made lots of good food choices and I even got in 11 servings of fruits and veggies, which is gobs better than the 3-4 I normally have. I didn't get in any exercise but my leg was hurting again anyhow so it's probably for the best.
ok girls im so proud of jill ( aka jillybean720) i had to let you know over on the thread for the challenge this morning she wrote
"67 minutes a day?! I thought you said we were starting slow to get into the swing of things Sorry, Blue Team, but I can't go from 0 minutes a day to 67 a day (especially when I didn't even read the rules until 7pm on the start day).
Anyway, thanks for posting the challenge, and good luck to everyone!"
Then later chelle gave a shorter option which works out to 33 minutes day and jilly came back on and wrote this

Unfortunately the closest beach on the list I have is Ocean City NJ which is 132 miles so it would be 33 mins a day
JIlly wrote Well, after I left here all pissy about it and finished my whining, I decided I wasn't going to go down without a fight. I went and changed, put on my sneakers, and then took my most hyper puppy out for a 45-minute fast walk (she was panting to keep up with ME!) and then stopped home to switch pups and took the less hyper pup for a 25-minute walk. So i did it--I went from 0 minutes to 70 minutes today.
So, moral of the story: put that competitive spirit to good use!
Thanks, chelle!
OMG im so proud of her and i love her team spirit .. i had to share her achievement.. GO BLUE team ...
ooh yeah and Chelle your are fabulous too great work girls
I'm jealous of the warm-climate gardeners too! Michigan bums me out! We had spring for like...2 weeks. Even got into the 80s, but mostly stayed at the 70's. My flowers were all coming into bloom, and then these past 4 days have been sooo cold most of them have gone and died. Boo!
Just like you, Oregon had a few nice days, then hail,snow and rain, grrrr.My tomatoes are curling too. I put "check" next to the foods I'm planting the same and added a few of mine that are different in your list above. Can't wait for the sweet days of spring and summer, yummm!!! Nice to meet a fellow gardner, uh . . . your name's not on the list yet - but still nice to meet ya'.
I made my dinner, and will even reward myself with a dvd tonight when we go grocery shopping!! (we go to walmart) That sub will probably taste better tomorrow when its been in the fridge for awhile. 
A dvd is a great choice for a reward. I'm a dvd-aholic though so maybe you shouldn't listen to me.
