Hello! Just got back from a week away. I didn't eat too much, but I wasn't exactly on a diet either.....
I am determined to get back on it here. Guess what? I'm trying that no beer deal again. If I can't do it this time I think I'll hit AA....So tomorrow will be day 1. There are no bottles around to tempt me and it's going to stay that way!!!
Hi Red, Jolly, Pink, Girlie, trob and djstorey! Talk to you all tomorrow!

Morning all. I have a confession to make. This morning when I was jogging, I realized I need to take a pause day on healthy eating for yesterday While I kept the no unauthorized part of the challenge, I forgot to have a second fruit. HORRORS. So, off I start again.

Even though my knee was still a bit off from the 5 hours of fair walking in bad shoes Saturday, and other parts were sore from my circuit class yesterday, I did go out and do my three miles. My time was slower, but I completed it feeling pretty good, with no new soreness. Hurray!

Anyway, off to get some stuff done. Have a great day all

P.S. I checked out that link, Red. Not sure how my horse would feel about it, but I sure laughed. Thanks!

Hi all, I'm back. We had a great time camping and it was really hard to make ourselves come home. It was so pretty where we went! We actually camped in two different places. The second one was right under the Sawtooth Mountains and I can't wait to go back there. It was our first time there and I felt like I needed more time to explore and enjoy. Oh well, maybe we'll get there again if we don't move away.

I'll think about what challenges I want to do in the next day or so. We are all still trying to clean up and unpack, so I just can't think about it quite yet. I definitely need to get back on track though. I enjoyed the camp food a little too much and have no desire right now to see what the scale says! Give me a day or two.

Hope all is well with everyone. I'll do some more catching up later.

dj- did you take any good pics? glad that you had a great time. camping is one thing that my family has not done but hope to soon.
jolly, red, pink, girlie, apple- hope that everything is going great for you. i sure that this is a busy time of year for most of you with school starting back and all. keep up the good work. i plan on getting some new challenges going as soon as i get going with school again.

Hi all Just a quick check in before bed. All challenges met for the day . . . unless I missed one that I will remember in the morning

Only one thing to report - I will have to miss my circuit training class tomorrow. I went to the chiropractor for my hip - he said I should only walk for the rest of the week, and ice it as needed. Well . . . I iced and rested tonight, and am going to try my yoga tape in the morning. Hopefully then I can jog again Thursday and do my class on Friday.

Take care y'all. Glad your trip was fantastic, DJ. Good luck to you and Trob on your new challenges.

Good morning all. Good luck with your challenges, PInk. I know you can do it.

Well, I ended up saving my yoga tape for later. The hip was still sore this mroning, so I took a nap on an ice pack. Feels better now, so will try to do the tape tonight. I hate not working out though. Now I feel all blah and bloaty.

Anyway. Have a super day all

jolly- take care of that hip and don't over do. i know that you want to get back to all your exercise but you don't want to hurt yourself more.
pink- WAY TO GO!!!! looks like you have got some great ones to start. i stopped drinking caff. drinks many years ago...well not totally but i don't keep them at home. i found that if i had 1/2 cup or so first thing in the morning that i was fine the rest of the day. i would buy one at work and pour a little out and then give the rest away. has worked for me. and i sleep much better. good luck

i have still not started any new chall. and probably won't until i start having classes next week. right now my schedule is so crazy with back to school meetings and trying to get my room ready that i can't think of anything else.

Hey all. Thanks, Trob. I will try to take it easy, but it is tough. I want to go go go.

I had to take a pause on the soda challenge. Long crabby meeting at work, and I just had to get through.

Have a good night all

Morning all. Yeah, Red, don't be gone too long. hope things get better soon.

Did my yoga tape this morning, so that is a plus. Hip is feeling good, so back to workouts tomorrow.

Have a great on challenge day!
