I had done them this morning in the long distant past. It's so good to get things done super early in the day, but man is it ever hard to get up and out. Today I was a hair's breadth from calling it off. Instead I forced myself to walk to the gym, jog (but only 3K) and do the crunches and back exercises, then actually did a bit of weight training. I realized I just don't like having lost so much upper-body muscle. So, I'm going to go light there but incorporate some weight training back in my routine. So, Day 10 is done! Hurrah! 
Oh, yes, I knocked out the crunches late last night for Day 9, so I still have two pause days left. 
We'll see the specifics tomorrow. Well, that is great with the exercise. I am so glad to hear you are getting out and moving and moving at home too. As for your St. Paddy's Day goals and Easter, I think they are very doable. But, yes, you should try to get some exercise going. Do you have an exercise bike? They are good for spinning away the pounds and you can get your heart rate up pretty high if it has resistance. 
on Day 6! And I love to hear that you're getting away from the overstuffing yourself. It is so much nicer just to feel comfortably full, isn't it? I think that's a great change you're making there, one that is going to stick with you, I think!
Oh, wait, NOW I get it, I was thinking the last party was recently and that it wasn't wild, now I see you're saying the last one was 11 years ago and mega crazy! Ok, ok, sounds like some of mine...funny, they didn't have the same longterm aftereffect as yours though....you must be the smarter one. 
She puts in the knife and turns it!! 
Bet that one got you with tail between the legs, eh? 
You see, my ploy to lure you out of lurkdom worked!! 
Thanks for the "other white meat" explanation. I had NO idea. Asked at work today and one Canadian knew it. I really had thought it was something a bit more bizarre...guess I have been in Asia too long. Yes, you caught me! I HAVE been in Asia too long. I mean, whether something is edible or whether I would eat it are two very different things, but when you're in Asia you learn that everything, and I mean everything is indeed edible and you learn to prepare for the worst. Deep-fried roach, anyone? No, but it's true that dogs are eaten in Korea, not in Japan though. I've seen pictures come in over the wire of markets in Korea selling puppies for consumption. It's so sad. Pictures from the Philippines of cats being caught and skinned for sale as well, usually for the gut and musical instrument strings and a lot of that trade goes to Japan. Here, we get the horses that are shipped from the U.S. and whale, dolphin, snake, live goldfish, assorted insects, you name it...it's pretty much available. But, no, I hadn't remembered your challenge was no red meat, so couldn't figure what you were saying about the "other white meat." I didn't realize it was an ad. I thought it was something gross and you didn't want to mention it. Ok, glad that is cleared up and yes, as carla points out, I'm a veghead, nearly vegan. Too bad about your soda challenge. Try again! and make it Level 3. Now, you know why I keep my challenges usually Level 3. Looks like you should have maybe made your Level 3 your Level 1 and vice versa, eh? Well, good luck! 
Anyone I missed, come in and post! Newcomers, welcome!! Shad? carla? Don't forget us.....

to all the new people!!! Your gonna have a great time here.
and my total weight loss to 10 lbs. For me the first 10 are the easiest so from now on its gonna be nothing but sweat and tears 
Friday I walked 40 minutes, Saturday DH and I walked for 4 hours around NYC. We walked from 1st Ave and 20th St. up to Central Park (about 4 miles) then took the subway to City Hall, walked down to Battery Park, back up to the World Trade Center site/memorial (the city has done a wonderful and touching memorial set up around the construction), and up through ChinaTown and Soho before we finally had to get a cab before our feet fell off! ). At any rate, I am back to day 1 on calories. It seems as if at least half of us have posted a weight loss last week - keep it up, everyone! I haven't been on a scale for a week. I think i haven't gained anything, but am a little concerned. I will be home Thursday night and on the scale as soon as I wake up Friday morning! 
How tall are you? I see that our weight goals are similar, but wasn't sure if you were taller than me or not (I'm 5'4").
