I am so jealous, but with work, kid, soccer, parents, life ... :lol: I just couldn't get the extra 100. I just got some shoes this week :( Next week though I will make it, I am already 1/3 of the way there :woohoo:

SoulBliss - Thanks for your thought of the day! It really is something to think about. Are you leaving thoughts for all the teams? Or just the amazing Blues? :cheer3:

To all you ladies out their like me who didn't get a "New" cabana boy, just lett ing you all and Chelle know, that I'm not giving up the ones I have, I earned them, I'm keeping them. I have decided that I want a harem (can they be called that if they are men and not women?) of cabana boys by the end of the challenge.

Also, I want at least 10 days of 5Ks by the end of the month. I CAN DO IT!

It's cowboy week on my beach, so if that does it for ya, you can borrow mine. I'm going with themed weeks. Week 1 was Military (the character Bruno Dylan plays was a Army Ranger), Week 2 was Sci-Fi (Torchwood character), and this week's choice is Eric Close (playing Vin Tanner on The Magnificent Seven).

You are all too funny with your cabana boys :p I'm going to try for my first one this week! I haven't so much as earned a sparkling drink on the beach for the past 2 weeks. This exercise thing is kickin' my butt (but in a good way)! But since this week's challenge is lower, I'm going for the gold, baby!

Speaking of which, I just finished a salad, and I think I'm going to go head out for a walk if it isn't raining. If it is raining, then maybe I'll head to the mall to walk.

Maybe I won't completely give up on the exercise challenge. I probably can do this weeks. I need to get my butt in gear anyways.

I just got back from the gym. I am doing so good with my workout. The only thing is that I was bad with eating this weekend and my weight shows it. I'm very upset with myself but I know I can hit ONEderland this week if I try hard enough.


Cabana boy???????????!!!!!!!!! I don't know who I would pick if I got to. Probably Leland Chapman. I think he's sexy. Alittle too skinny for me but still sexy.

Okay, I'm a freak. When Chellez posted the beach this week, I was like "Oh, that's only an hour a day for a cabana boy". (412/7 = 58) I was dissapointed that it wasn't further where I had to really push myself.

QOTD--Buy new clothes and wear my smaller clothes in my closet. I really care about my appearance but you wouldn't know it to look at me now. When I feel better about myself then it shows.

Chellez--I did give up on the Beach Hopping last week. To the point I went in and deleted my post. But this week I am on it. I'm going to the gym 3x this week and I will be doing my 3FC 5K this weekend. I might need to count my cleaning yesterday and planned cleaning today to get my cabana boy. We will see. I want to only include that if needed.

Kelly--BF doesn't care what I weigh. He does compliment me all of the time. He likes his women with some meat on them. When I weighed 150 he said I was skinny. I think it was more about he met me when I was at my heaviest (278) so it was weird to see me that small. I'm still considered obese at 150. I believe 149 gets me to overweight. I might be happy with 150. We shall see. I'm happy to hear that you decided to give DH a gentle nudge.

My anti-gun, pro-animal stance goes right out the window when cats crap in the kid's sandbox.

Just out of curiosity, I counted all the people with 3 badges on all of the teams. We have 11, Red Team has 11, and the Black Team has 14. Like I said, I was just curious.

I'm sitting here trying to figure out what days off work I want to take this week while my family is in town, and I find myself planning in my exercise. For example I could come into work at 730 instead of 830, but that doesn't give me enough time to do an hour walk in the morning before work. (the track opens at 6am) I'd rather work an extra hour in the afternoon than miss out on my walk. I find that I realy need that "me" time in the morning, saying I'll work out when I get home doesn't get it done.

Remember... its percentage of badges for the entire team... not necessarily who has badges for every week. ;)

I know, I was just curious, cause I'm weird like that. :D

I'm going for a a cabana boy too! DH may wonder what I am doing when I start scouring the internet for an extra hot hottie. Y'all will vouch for me, right?! :)

Dee - I'm the same way with the exercise. If I don't get it done by lunch, then I'm just not likely to do it afterwork. I always have the best of intentions those days, but just rarely find the time for the follow-through.

It was almost 90 degrees already by 11 am, so I opted for a little one on one time with the elliptical machine. Sure is hard to turn the page on my book with the arm things going back and forth though. ;) I call that my "core stabilization" exercise bonus!

QOTD: I have no idea - maybe a spa day or something. I have never had a pedicure or anything like that. Everyone tells me that I would love it, maybe I'll see if they are right. ;)

I have a QOTD in addition to Kelly's just cause I'm curious about something.

Do you feel like you "let your appearance go" when you gained weight?

Like for instance when I was thin I would have my hair colored and looking good all the time. Now that I'm overweight, I let my hair grow long, I go a year or more before I dye or high light it (yea I have the roots showing 24/7), I normally keep my hair tied back.... etc etc.

I'm just trying to gather if this is a link that most of us share cause I always hear every challenge someone wanting to have a day at the salon or a spa day.

Discuss. ;)
