Well, my night out dancing got postponed to this weekend. My friend ended up not having time to get in a nap and was too exhausted to go. We will try again on either Friday or Saturday.

Wow - the other teams are way chattier than we are.

As for my goal shirt, I think it would be either something like, "to be strong enough to face any challenge I choose" or "to keep on dancing until the end".

1. What is something you accomplished last week that you are proud of? I was able to do a back bend in yoga class. Also, I was tempted to buy a "treat" of some sort of low cal ice cream thing last night, and I resisted (these things don't work for me - I eat more than one at a sitting and it just makes me crave more stuff. I am much better off having one planned real sweet thing a week).

2. What is your exercise goal for the week? Dance class M/W/Thus/Sat with half hour resistance training sessions before the weekday classes. Plus yoga on Saturday.

3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? I am actually pretty happy where I am at the moment, but I often think about moving back to Atlanta.

4. If you could vacation anywhere in the world where would it be? Vist my brother in Maui! Also I would love to go on an extended trip to Australia, New Zealand with a stop in Tahiti. Actually there are few places I wouldn't want to go.

5. Who is your inspiration? For weight loss, there are a bunch of people here at 3FC, but mainly some of the ladies over in the 300+ area like Catherine, Annie, Zelma and Heather. I am also really inspired by Jillian and I love listening to her shows every week.

Sorry to have been MIA these last couple of days. We were out of town for my dh's grandad's funeral (he was 94, lead a great life, and was ready to get to heaven, so it wasn't too hard on the family ), then to London for a hockey tournament. We spent the last week living out of a suitcase, and eating at restaurants, so I am happy (for this week anyway), with maintaining my current 185. It was a huge surprise!
It looks like we have a lot of successful "losers" weighing in this week...congrats ladies!!
