Rainbow -- ... we'll see about that "time off" tho... lol. I'm gonna be standing there waiting for you to cross into the 2's!!!

MadamB -- Lock & load my @#! ... Round 2 here, 45 more cardio min. + extra 50 crunches + stealth 100 calf raises at the Gap. Total "machine" cals burned today = 1610 (and down another vacation pound). Round 3 still possible. Your move...bring it!

Prvt. Tubak--way to tough it out and drag your sorry butt-er to the gym! Most excellent news.

Carry on platoon...just hours til weigh-in!

OMG you girls are all so awesome .

from all the positive vibes.

I'm so happy for you rainbow, i know intimately how much each thing you listed means. Keep strong it just gets better and better. But i'm with Jaytee on the "rest" bit, personally i won't take my foot off the gas till i finish this race.

Don't want to get hit by the crossfire in here today. Felt a little deflated when i came home today but have been given a great shot in the arm of energy from you all.

Talk about bringing your "A" game, you go girl.

Time to listen to some AC/DC and get pumped up i think... gonna go walk my *** off.

I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track -Thunder
I looked 'round,
And I knew there was no turning back -Thunder
My mind raced
And I thought what could I do? -Thunder
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you -Thunder
Sound of the drums
Beatin' in my heart
The thunder of guns!
Tore me apart
You've been - thunderstruck!

Hiya Reso-- Get your walk on man! We'll be waiting here when you get back! OMG, another AC/DC fan...Shook me all night long, Highway to ****, Party Everyday...and so many more!
And don't worry about getting caught in the crossfire...I'm an expert marksman...lots of practice shooting tin cans off posts in Wyoming!

Good Evening All! Sarge, SiR!

Its been a rough 24hrs for me. 100% sticking to my diet, so that's one positive. I got extremely sick to my stomach around 300 hours. It was BAD. Haven't been able to do any walking today out of fear and absolute sleep deprivation. I laid down with my little boys around 1100 hours and my fiance came poking me at 1600 hours thinking I was dead. Luckily, I wasn't. ;-)

So, I've only got 40ish ounces of water in me all day (working on more now)

I stepped on the scale a few minutes ago and weighed 231 exactly! Soooo, I met my 5pound pledge! But I can't take much credit (like I said, very sick stomach!) My wish is to be completely out of 230's this week by Sunday, but we weill just have to see if I start feeling better.

Off to work on some water!

*Salute* Sarge & Fellow PVTs!

PS.. Congrats on passing that 50 pound marker Surrogate Sarge!!

Hey Sizzlefizzle---Can I borrow that flu for 24 hrs....it may help me toward my pledge instead of 3-a-days! Congrats on making your pledge, but feel better!

Anyone heard from Courtney or Peanutt lately? Also, where's Dreamer, ASF, Fitness4Life and a few other MIA's...hmmmmmmmmmmmm? Roll Call!!!!
