Hey all. Going to do enough crunches so that I can count it for my ab work, then going to bed with all 3 challenges met. It has been a long, wrong, day.

The news at the vet was not good. The lump I found on my dog was due, not to an infection as I hoped, but to some kind of growth. Long story short, I have made the decision to not put my poor guy through anything more. We are going to enjoy the weekend, and Monday I will be taking him in. This sucks royally.

Pink, that is awesome that you donated your hair. My stepsister has done that. It is a great cause.

Everyone else, welcome back, good luck, etc.

jolly, I'm so sorry about your dog. Gosh, that must be the most awful, hardest decision to make. I couldn't do it. You must have all the facts and know this is the kindest route. You're a braver woman than I.

dj! Three cheers! Congratulations on completing your exercise challenge!

Way to go girl!!

Morning all!

Day 16 logging food was a bust. My migraine came back the night before and I was so tired yesterday that I just didn't feel like doing anything. Back to day 16 today. I'll have to read back, but I think that might have been my last pause day, but I might have 1 left. I'll check.

Starting today I'm back to the exercise challenge again. I'll keep it at 30 minutes minimun daily and level 3.

Hey Red, glad to see you back. Sorry you're having a rough time of it! Hope things get better soon. Good job though on keeping up with the challenges! It's so hard when you're stressed but you've done it! And for not pigging out on that junk! Good going! Hope to hear more from you soon.

Jolly - So sorry about your dog. You are definitely stronger than I. I've been there but had to have someone else take care of things for me. Just know that you've given your dog a good life and you're doing what's best now for him too.

Pink - Good going on your challenges. I wouldn't worry about the whole PMS thing. That's always a rough time of the month! You're doing good! That's great that you donated your hair for the locks of love. I admire people that take the time to help others. Good going!

Hi to everyone else!

Okay. Day 1 was a success with exercise and eating. One down. Today did 30 min cardio and 30 min abs and lower body. On track with food so far.

Managed to avoid a late night pig out with a cup of diet cherry jello. I stocked it just for such an occasion and I guess it pays to plan ahead!

Jolly--I am so very sorry about your doggy. I guess you must be sure this is actually a malignant lump of some kind? You might have said more in another post, but I missed it. I wish you two the best--go easy on yourself next week, huh?

Onward,
DIana

Thanks, dj ..... Good luck on your new challenge..

Chic, excellent work on the exercise and congrats on that late-night save!

Good saves red and chic! Stick with it! I havn't had jello in forever! I'll have to pick up some Sugar Free Low Calorie jello next time I go shopping I could def. use that during my cravings!

Hey all. Real quick check in.

So, I have to laugh at myself. I had my new computer for 4 days, and managed to uninstall a major system I was just trying to get rid of some trial software I knew I wasn't going to use and . . . . Well, luckily I was able to figure out how to use the system recovery disc. I just have to re-install things like the printer, camera, etc. Not the worst, but how blonde of me.

As far as the dog - I don't KNOW that it is malignant. However, it is large, and causing him discomfort. He was licking it until it bled. So, I can't leave it. I am not willing to put him through another difficult surgery, especially as it is on the side of his amputation. That is why I made the appointment I did. HOWEVER . . . until Monday, I am giving something a try. I have a friend who is into all the herbal, holistic, hippy-dippy stuff (OK, so even though he was before my time, I LOVE George Carlin!) - she has some stuff that has helped her pets, which we are trying. If there is any improvement before Monday, I will postpone for a bit, and see what we come up with. Keep fingers crossed. If it doesn't work though, I will not let him suffer.

Keeping on track exercise wise, but was a bit off food wise yesterday. OK, a LOT off food wise. Today is a better day.

Have a great day all. Keep up the great work - nice job on saves and successes. Catch you later.

Hellow everyone-
I am officially out of the wagon! I keep trying to pinch in the time to work out but i just dont do it! I am also havings lots of trips and seminars to go to so I am just putting myself on hold for a while!

Hope everyone is doing great!
I know Red will keep everyone in check!
Have a great weekend!

Just a quick catch up for me.

Days 16 & 17 logging food was good.

Days 1 & 2 on exercise was good.

I'll catch up with you all later. Weekends seem to be so busy around here!

Hope to see you back soon Rebecca!

Hello everyone!

Red did you know there was another 21 day challenge here. I've been reading that one waiting to see your name or the others I knew. I'm glad I found my way back to yours.

For those that are new I've MIA for awhile because of family illiness. My weight loss plan is Weight Watchers pure points. (Computer Weight Watchers Software)

My 21 day challenge is to stay in my WW points which includes activity pts.
July 16 will be my start day. It's also my birthday so It might be tuff but I'm sure I'll do just fine.
