Nella you're so right, about resisting the binging! yesterday was a POP day and i was rewarded by the number on the scale this morning : hope i can maintain it for mondays final weigh in
TOM is not here yet for me.
thats awesome that you did the workout too! i know what you mean about it feeling not too hard whilst your doing it, some of the moves are tough though, and i did have to modify it, like mountain climbers!! and walking planks gah those are tough. but all in all, its a great workout that is totally do-able for all levels. but not too extreme that you cant do it and your dying.
i seem to have trapped wind though, it started a little after i finished the workout last night, and its persisted today. going to have some peppermint tea in the hopes to sooth it. dont know if its connected to me working out or what not. i dont feel i worked out extra hard or anything during the workout. dunno must just be one of those random things. i'm sure i will be fine after some hot peppermint tea.

edit:
yeh i dont think its trapped wind, although feels like it. i think i must have pulled my ab muscles or something. been in pain all day. got a heat blanket on it for most of the day. i am out of commission for exercise for a few days. gonna take it easy. i might have been over zealous on the core exercises perhaps. might have pushed myself just a teeny bit too much on the core / plamks even though at the time didt feel like i did. . never had it this bad before though. took some asprin, feeling abit better. hope to feel better tommorow.
Agh! What a day.. it has been a crazy day.. stormed all day and trying to arrange Christmas family plans to make everyone happy... that can be alot of work..lol Being the "baby" in my family does not mean I just get to go a long with what everyone else decides.. it means I have to barter and play devils advocate to get everyone in the same place, same time and everyone happy... agh! Everyone always gets together and loves Christmas but its when do we have our big dinner and all of the other stuff that goes along with it. So to try and make everyone happy I told my mom I will come up a day early and help her with all the preparations so that we can please everyone time wise.. grrrrrr .. lol My Fa la la la la is broken... haha
Okay sorry for the vent.. lol but I am afraid weight wise I am in no better cheer. lol I feel stuck and lazy. aghhhhh I am hoping I will get out of this funk.. I am sure it is a combination of allowing myself to put me second again to work and everyone else as well as allowing my g.i tract attacks early in november into Dec. to become an excuse for veering of f plan and then the weather on top of it all became an equation for disaster,,,But I am aware and am taking steps to get back to being the much happier me I was when I was kicking it back in the fall! Fact that I am aware of it and keeping myself accountable to that knowledge tells me I am still on the right track.. jsut stalled... right?
okay..well enough of all of that! I hope everyone is having a great weekend and if you are in the areas where winter is showing its nasty side I hope you are all staying safe and warm! See you all tomorrow! God Bless
I'm home!!!! Spent most of the day traveling and/or visiting and eating junk. I know better but I ate it anyway. My stomach is starting to do the rumble and I almost feel nauseous. Tomorrow I'm back in action again but I might try a little while on the bike if my stomach will take it. I'm going to miss my DGS though but it's good to be home after 6 weeks of being away.
Angela, don't fall apart. You can't be everything for everyone, even in a family. That's just too much stress. Try and enjoy the holiday and kinda chill out over there "across the pond." I mean that metaphorically, of course, as the weather has us all chilled out. Brrrr.
Echo, feeling better today? I get pains in my side sometimes that I think is trapped wind. Sometimes it lasts for a couple of weeks. I sometimes think I've pulled a muscle but it eventually goes away, especially if it gets windy inside.
I weighed in yesterday morning and I lost 1/2 a pound this week. Still going down and that's the main thing. Well, I guess tomorrow is the last day and then we'll merge and become a PURPLE Powerhouse of weight loss.
Isabella .. you so rawk! thank you.. your right I know and today I feel much better. I never fall part but on occasion I need to air it all out.. lol haha and am so thankful for all of you here.
I am so glad you made it home safe and sound! The wind has finally stopped blowing here and now after 3 days of constant snow storms, they are calling for rain tomorrow! Lord help me..lol haha
Tomorrow is it ladies! I will be opening the Purple team, Bridging the Gap Challenge Chat thread on Tuesday morning, before I head to work.
You all did so great this challenge, and I know for those who want to participate in the purple team mini challenge you will rawk that one too.. then come January we are GOLDEN!!! Gotta get it together and get the weight off so come next summer we will all be rawkin those swimsuits.. lol or the very least feel comfortable in shorts! lol
See you all tomorrow.. night night!

aww thanks for asking Isabella you're so sweet!
yes thankfully Abs feeling better, i took some asprin again last night before i went to bed. and this morning it was much better, a slight twinge from time to time, but nothing major. but today felt VERY very tired and exhausted and lethargic. and i can tell its a sign of over training. so the last chance workout was much harder than i thought!
gonna take another rest day tommorow and then get back to exerice on tuesday.
thanks angela for sorting out the purple challenge. i am gonna need the accountability over the xmas period!
Thanks everyone for your support, I have really enjoyed this blue team challenge and its helped me so much! couldnt have lost the amount of pounds i lost on the challenge, without the accountability.
you all rock! and i cant wait to join the blue team again next year in jan !!
congrats on losing half a pound! you're so awesome!!!
aww i can imagine it feels to be at home sweet home.

Hi Ladies,
Well here it is Sunday night and my last weigh in for the challenge. I was down 1.2lbs for the week. Not as good as I wanted but considering the stress at work and the -28 temps I'll take it. By the way it's -32 without windchill right now....brrrrrrr. Very hard to drink all my water with me freezing all the time. I think that's why I haven't lost as much. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
I have had so many problems at work and working so much overtime I am sorry I haven't been on much this week. I have just finished reading the posts and caught up on everything. Sorry I forgot to take notes so can't do personals right now. This is my busy season so even the bridging the gap challange (which I am doing) I may not get a chance to post as much as some of you but in January I will be back to normal so will get to chat more. I manage a photo lab so busy time of year
Angela - I lived in NS years ago and still have relatives there now and I have to say I absolutly love the Cabot Trail. Also nothing better than NS/Cape Breton in the fall.....all the colors...WOW I don't want your winter stormes though. Calgary is bad enough.
Well I lost 26.2lbs for the challange so I am happy about that and look forward to losing another 25-30 on the next one. I hope I get a chance to share it with all of you as well.....The Blue Team Rocks.
I'd like to say I've also enjoyed being on the Blue Team. It was so nice getting to know you all. I feel as if we've all accomplished something great, lasting the whole 13 weeks not to mention all the weight that's melted off our bodies.
So glad there will be this mini challenge starting tomorrow. I've been off plan for 2 days (back on today, though) and I can't afford to regain any weight. Haha, I just went through my closet again this morning and took out more bigger clothing. I lost 8 pounds when I was away at DS's house. I had a few blouses that were too tight to wear when I left home in November and today they fit perfectly. YEAH! So, I don't want to buy bigger clothing again. Not a noble reason for losing and keeping off weight but a practical reason to be sure. Whatever works, eh! (I'm talking Canadian now, eh.)
Well, I guess, I'll catch you all in Purple tomorrow. See you then.
Good Morning Ladies!! This is it.. the end o f the road for TBL Fall Challenge... You all did incredible! The results for this week, as well as the Blue Team overall results have been posted in the Results thread. We lost another 3 team members this week.. which was unfortunate but still.. the numbers look great for 14 team members!!
So I am closing this thread and am going to open the Purple Team Thread .. Good Luck to all of you who will not be joining us into the new year... You will all be missed.
Alright Ladies... time for something new... lol See you all in Purple!
: hope i can maintain it for mondays final weigh in 
hope you enjoy the dvd! and let me know how you find it 
To all you fine ladies that did this challenge. We made it!!!
