Good job takingcontrol, I don't think I could of stopped myself after a bag of haribo. You really took 'control' there :), I just don't let any snacks inside my house otherwise I'll eat them all.

I don't let them in either. BUT, if this is going to be forever, I need to be able to eat my treats and move on. I actually said yesterday would be my pause day but after 20 minutes walking up and down the snacks aisles I couldn't work out what to get so left with nothing. I had the haribo after lunch and thought of this challenge and thought ahhhh well, I have paused now so I can eat more. Luckily at that point I was back home, without temptations so the need soon passed, had lean steak and salad for dinner and am perfectly satisfied with my treat day!

Hi everyone :wave: Nice to be back! Keep up the great work everyone, still with you! I lost internet for a few days, thank god I have it back! lol and my phone and T.V!

I need to go prepare dinner so I will post and catch up with my schedule tomorrow!

Davisag and paper-clip :welcome2: great goals, looking forward to our journeys together! Davis, thank you! :) I have seen you as well, so nice your in here too! I hated not being able to come online here, lol smiling. Thank you for asking! Hugs right back at you! : ) Oh btw, looove Denise Austin! She is an old time favorite of mine! I look forward to hearing about your challenge you are doing! Super!

wannaskip You really are doing fantastic! Please don't let that one pause day make you feel like a failure, or even if you had more since then! You really have been doing great and all those steps are a lot of steps! Every day is a new day and a fresh start! Let's keep it going! :carrot: I allowed myself 2 pause days and already used one of them! Hope you having a great weekend, that you all are.

takingcontrol Bravo for resisting those temptations! :carrot:

Sorry if I missed anyone, as always

I will catch up with you all more tomorrow. Have a super night and start to the weekend.

Great to see you back Weekend Boater! I would hate a prolonged period minus internet, how annoying!

Realised I recorded my pause wrong yesterday so am re-doing my list. On plan again today, with a walk to and from work, home work out and some strength work focusing on my arms. Very pleased.

OK.. I said no pauses. That was not realistic. I also changed up my routine. Still going by denise austins plan but my own workouts.
We got a WII with WII Fit plus. On my work outs going to use it. I only paused 1day. But it was the 3rd day. Not good. I had forgotten to take my medication.
3 pause days total will be on my plan. BUT.... hope not to use them all.
[B]Weekend Boater[B] glad your back. Denise Austin is great. I find her encouraging.
Btw all realized my scale was low on batterirs so said I was 237. I am not. 222. Lol that was such a relief.




Day 01 - 2/8/17.... Did my DDD, danced for 15 mins for my aerobics, ate great healthy foods.
Day 02 - 2/9/17.... Did my DDD and my toning throughout the day between phone calls at work. Ate great.
Day 03 - 2/10/17PAUSE

Day 3 - 2/11/17Had a very large breakfast. Said thats it... went and bought a WII with WII Fit Plus. Played for 6 hours with family games and setting up my WII Fot profile.
Day 4 - 2/12/17 Slept on till 1130. Got up workout out on WF for over 30 minutes. Took a nap. Lol its Sunday. Lol Hubby made a homemade healthy manocotti. So more WII family time.

Hi everyone :) Happy Monday! omg I cannot believe it! We had a big storm here!

I think the important thing is that we keep on going and not letting any pause or not pause day stop us, starting with a fresh new day! Sooo, what do you all say? It's all about the new day and keeping going so let's go!

wannaskip you created a beautiful challenge for us here, you really did! I remember in the past that when I didn't do thing absolutely perfectly I felt like a failure, I was too hard on myself. I can still be hard on myself for sure but I have learned that it's not about being perfect but about TRYING each and every new day! I want to thank you again and I hope and want for us all to continue! Tomorrow is a new day, let's start fresh, yes?

Davis I cannot believe you mentioned the WII, lol :) I still do it and love it! I have modified the moves on the advanced step and it is unreal! I enjoy it so I guess that is the big thing, happy to find a fellow WII'er lol :).
Regarding your scale, how I wish that were the case with me too! lol let's hang in there together!

takingcontrol I so enjoy watching you! Your doing great! I hope we can all finish this month out together.......I say we keep it going! What do you guys say?

I hope you all had a great weekend, let's keep on truckin' :carrot:
