Rainbow, I just knew sumtin' was up with you. Way to drag yourself to that gym and keep at it. You're an inspiration to us all.
I was also thinking about the partner thing. Perhaps those of us interested could partner up on a separate thread and compete as couples. It might help some of our teammates out.
Thoughts anyone?
thanks jaytee... its so hard when that scale doesn't move...i know it doesn't define the progress completely....even so...it is an indicator that one is going in the right direction when it does move! right??
I'm running on a track at a high school, I would not have done this a year ago as I would have been too embarrassed. Now I could care less!!!
wow!! wendychic....that is AWESOME COURAGE!! i feel the same way about zumba...being the heaviest person in the class, no one even half as heavy...but i am thinking the same thing...i could care less...i gotta stay focused on doing what i know i can do..... i am the PINK ZUMBA QUEEN.... AND YOU ARE THE ROCKIN' RED RUNNER!!!

Here's a NSV from me today.....I had two co-workers separately ask me quietly if I had lost weight. SQUEEE! This is the first time anyone has noticed! I got to proudly answer yes and then answer their questions about how much/how/how good I feel/etc. It was awesome. I may even have a new lunchtime walking buddy in a co-worker who wants to get more active. Talk about motivation to KEEP GOING!
awww peanutt...that is such a WONDERFUL SUBLIME FEELING!!! KEEP UP YOUR GREAT EFFORTS!! JUST LOOK AT YOU NOW!!
WHOOOOOP WHOOOOOOP!!

i thought i might mention...as others have...because maybe some of you don't know about it...something that keeps me on target with my exercise...is earning the PALA
Just a heads up on the couples/team thing...whatever works to keep you motivated is a great thing. However, my suggestion would be to continue cheering each other on as one team. We do not allow additional threads on the Biggest Loser Challenge forum because each week there are 6 different threads to keep up with. So, if you want to team up with someone for additional encouragement, go for it...in our red team thread, or maybe do private messages on 3fc.
Good luck to everyone!
I know each of us finds motivations and encouragement in different ways. For many people, its hard to keep up with participating in the threads on a weekly basis so kudos to everyone for trying to continue motivating and encouraging each other on a daily basis.
I had such a bad day today. I had to stay at school later than usual since I had a group meeting and unfortunetly I used this as an excuse to skip my workout and eat junk.
I told myself since I was staying later than usual I deserve to have a horribly unhealthy wrap from the caf. This was the worse idea ever since after I ate the wrap I had already messed up for the day so I might as well just continue eating bad so I also had a donut and some chips. The worst part is if I had just had the wrap my calories would have still been on goal for the day.
Looking back I know that food should not be a reward and even when I mess up I should fix it the next meal I have and not wait to restart the next day. Hope everyone else had a better day than me GO RED TEAM!
Rated we all have those days!!! Don't beat yourself up to much! Just get up and dust yourself off tomorrow and get back on track! Seriously stop beating yourself up over it!
Tomorrow is going to be a better day for ya! Now just put on a smile and have a great Wednesday! I hope to hear positive things from ya tomorrow night! Remember you have the support of the Rockin Red Team behind ya!
Happy Wednesday All! Another snow day here. I am on plan so far and am going to do my WATP during my little one's nap in a bit. I plan to pay attention to my body a bit more today. I actually aggravated my knee because I felt compelled to listen to Bob as he told me to get down on the floor into the Child's pose..................Why I didn't listen to Leslie Sansone as she said "Don't swing your arms yet with the hand weights, it will hurt your shoulder" is beyond me but today I am gonna listen to myself rather than think "Well, they SAID to do it so I gotta do it!" LOL I'll do it when I'm ready!
I hope you all have a glorious day and that you make yourself proud.
