Oolong: good luck on your finals, that sounds rough.

Misty: my hubby has a giftcard for Pei Wei, but we've not gone yet. Do they have any healthy options? What did you get? It sounds like you had a fun time. CONGRATS on such a great semester in your class! You sound like you are really smart.

Purple: The thing that makes me want to avoid it is that you actually have to GO to the courthouse and sit around and wait all day long to see if they need you. You can't just call in. And there is no free or cheap parking downtown by the courthouse, which means that I will have to take the bus and I hate the bus. The biggest reason, though, is the sitting around all day. Even though I will bring my books and iPod, it will still be really really boring. I'm going to surrender myself today and hope that they will let me come in on Monday instead of tomorrow. Good luck with your call!

staja: I hope your bunny feels better soon. And congrats on being the biggest loser!!!!

tara: 2 slices isn't too bad, when I fall off the wagon and eat pizza, one serving is 4 slices! That grandmother is living in lala land. If it were so easy, there would be no overweight people.

reda: kittens....how fun! Do you live in the country?

Terri: congrats on your success in your fitness center challenge!

smurf: Happy belated birthday!

Soul: Sorry to hear you haven't slept much. Sleep is so important. I hope you can get rested up today.

Bette: it sounds like a busy week alright. Good luck to your son, it must be hard to let him leave.

mugsy: I love potatoes, I will have to check out your recipe. BTW, I made that roasted tomato soup and it was really good! I made it with fat free half and half instead of heavy cream. If you find the clean clothes fairy, can you send him/her my way? It's laundry day and I'm just not feeling it.


Hello everyone else! Mugsy and I were talking about how much better we feel when we put makeup on and we thought maybe we could make a glamour challenge. So, we invite you to join: what it is is that everyday, you do something to your appearance to make yourself feel better. Whether that be applying mascara and lipstick, doing your hair or even just wearing something besides frumpy sweats (trooworld, do you hear yourself talking???). Do I have that right, mugsy? So what do you all think? Want to join?

Hey everyone!

So far so good. TOM is still keeping the scale still, but I am thinking that Friday things will even out. I am on track for going to the gym 4 days in a row...I love being out of school!!!

Troo--Yes, they do have healthy food. I had the Vietnamese Salad Wraps, they are 159 calories for all 3. They have lettuce, peanuts, chicken, rice noodles and some other stuff. If I am really hungry, I sometimes get those and share them and then get a kid's meal with brown rice. I LOVE that they have steamed brown rice!! They have teriyaki chicken (440 with brown rice)and honey seared chicken (490 with brown rice) for the kid's meal choices. They also have great salads! I love that place! The nutritional info is here: http://www.peiwei.com/pdfs/nutritional.pdf

The glamour challenge sounds good.

I have a lot to do at work, so I better go!

Hi to everyone! Congrats Staja!

Yay, black team! We won!

A glamour challenge, huh? That works for me, considering I start work next week, and I suppose I need to look presentable...

We won!!! Congrats to all of us!!!

Glamour, that's so much not me.. Almost never wear make up.. Never fix my hair besides a ponytail.. I want to, but I just never take time to do it.. Maybe I shall start to add something extra in my daily routins..

Misty, thanks for the link and info, I will check it out before we go. I think we are going Saturday for lunch. I love brown rice. And those wraps sound yummy.

We won? YAY!!!

Hi team,

Congrats to all for another good week! Staja, good job on being the BL this week. That must feel great.

Happy belated birthday to Smurf!

Today is my BD so I've been snacking on goodies a little too much. For my present, I'm going to the fitness center while DH mows the pasture tonight. How is that for a super fun birthday? Works for me; I love lowkey. I definitely need the exercise tonight after the snacks.

to all!

from a blue team member - way to go!

linda

Thanks for the birthday wishes! Happy Birthday to you TERRI!! I asked DH for a clean house for my birthday, sadly I didn't think about HOW it was going to get clean so I spent a lot of the day cleaning-I wish I had left dh home to do it while I went to play-next year I guess.

I love the fairy idea too-use that one when she asks.

So I need to get re-focused on this exercise game. I didn't get a workout yesterday and so far not today either-I hate it when dh takes off work it throws my routine out the window. I am off to see what is up for this months challenge I am dedicating myself to it right now in front of all of you!

OH YEAH WE ARE AWESOME!!

HEY BLACK TEAM!!!

It's getting hot....and you know what that means?

Time to strip down to your itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikinis!!
(seriously, that might be the ugliest bikini out there....anyhow...)

Okay, maybe you don't want to go that far, but wouldn't it feel good to shed some clothes, show some more skin, put on a smaller size???????

Until I get any new suggestions, we are going with the old formula



Let's keep track of our exercising, feeling good, and staying OP!


1 point for every minute of exercise

10 points for being OP

5 points for having a "damn I look good!" day. You know, the days you put something on and just feel happy with your bod. Or take something off and feel happy



BONUS POINT CHALLENGE:
7/5 Jump rope: every minute is 2 points

Happy Birthday Terri!!!!

Ceegee - The challenge is great!
As bonus Challenges, Can we have one day with counting the crunches? Or what do you all think?

I am all for the challenge and LOVE the extra point challenges too.
What if we were to make goals for ourselves post them in our threads and when we reach that goal we get an a butt load of extra points?

Happy birthday Terri!

And Jessica, I saw that you said you start working next week. Did you get the job you had the interview for?! If so, yay! Congrats!

Theresia- of course we can have crunches! What day would you like them to be on? You can pick any day you want

oooOOOh! Good idea! How many should we pick? 2, 4, more???
(And it can't be a goal of having ice cream for dinner, lol<---I win!)
And how many points???

Maybe every monday with the weigh in deadline if your log is up to date you can add on points? What do people think?? Might keep us more accountable...

Happy birthday Terri!

Hey -does anyone know what happened to the red team and why there's no numbers for their weigh in?? I hope they didn't lose all their data or something.
