  • hello mangos

    CaliRep: that sounds nice, have you put cinnamon on any other veggies?

    im not having a great diet week, spent the first few days away at a funeral and now im drowning in school work, the result being i havent counted a single calorie. Add to that the fact that ive just been sitting on my arse the whole time, i am not optimistic about my paticipation in the BL challenge. Apart from having idea how much ive really been eating though, i havent eaten any sweets or junk food and im doing well with my natural/organic thing. So, every cloud etc. I really need to exercise too if i get a chance, im going mad cooped up in my room.
  • Hey mangos. I am still recovering from the flu, I haven't worked out in over a week now . It sucks but my eating has been on plan. I can't wait to get back at it. Hope you are all having a good day
  • Lots of people not feeling well... bummer, hope you all get better soon!

    I felt like crap ALL DAY yesterday (TOM showed up two weeks early...ewww)but still ate well and got my butt to the gym, yay! Today I feel much better, got a good workout in this morning and have been on track with my calories also.

    Even though I've been doing well I feel all bloated and what not, let's hope that goes away by the weigh in Sunday!
  • I GOT IT!! I got the job I wanted at the Denver zoo!! I am so excited
  • krock614 and akacutie- thanks! I hope I get better soon. Something always seems to get in the way of my weight loss.. its so frustrating!
    ella13- congrats on the job!! that is so exciting!
    CaliRep- that actually sounds pretty good.. im going to try that tomorrow!

    Hope everyone is doing well. Alright, time to get some more sleep!
  • Hey Mangos!

    you know what?? I don't think I have ever eaten a mango either! Or a kiwi but that was intentional, I just think they look weird and I am not quite sure what to do with it!

    Anyways, Starmac what part of Va are you in? I am 23 in VA also!!

    Ella~WOOOHOOOO congrats on the Zoo job, what will you be doing there?

    Aka~ My father is a craigslist junkie, and some people were getting foreclosed on and they gave him the llamas... they have had them about 3 months and they don't really do a whole lot but we got about 9 inches of snow at my house and they seem to be more active in the snow....??

    Cali, Cinnamon green beans sound really good! I am having a hard time trying to get an idea of the flavor though... I will have to try them!

    And I hope every one is feeling better!!
  • Congrats Ella!!
    Well I am miserable today!! I am sooo hungry. I hate it when I have days like these. Well I'm going to push on.
  • Thanks guys! I am still recovering from the flu I can't work out yet my lungs are full of crap!

    doinmiownting- I will be running the teen volunteer program at the Denver Zoo.
  • Hey there ladies!

    This is a fly by posting as today is super busy!!

    I hope everyone is well and having a great week!!

    Talk to you soon!
  • happy Saturday!
    Hello all-

    I hope you had a great first week on the challenge! I can't wait to see how our team did this week.

    Krock- I hate it when I have days like that. I feel like a cookie monster sometimes...(not just cookes though all foods.)

    Ella- I hope your feeling better now!! I hate being sick.

    Check up with you ladies tomorrow!
  • everyone!

    Sorry I've been MIA, just alot of personal stuff going on then TOM came Wednesday, wrecking havoc on my WI and my emotions. I'm telling you, if I didn't have military discipline hammered into me by my mother, several people would have died horrific deaths this week! The last two days have been a pigfest. Disgusting. My friend Kittie will be arriving tomorrow for her Spring Break. This is like the worst time for her to be visiting me but we haven't seen each other in over a year. Daylight Savings Time just kicked into effect. I'm going to be SO tired tomorrow.
  • I had a really busy and hectic week but managed to stay on track as best I could. I have had the period from **** the past few days, no joke, but ate well and got some good workouts in and as of today have lost 1 pound! I would have liked for more than 1 but I'll take 1 for this week and will be expecting 2 next week!

    Get well everyone who is not feeling great and keep up the good efforts everyone!
  • Mangos!

    Congratulations on the job Ella!

    for everyone who's having a bad week and/or is feeling ill.

    Kittie arrived this afternoon. She's lost so much weight! I thought I was going to break her when I hugged her.
  • Question of the Week (from Spring Fever Weekly Newsletter):

    What is your biggest struggle with weight loss?


    My break is over so I'll answer when I get home.
  • My biggest struggle is these last few pounds!!! they just don't want to come off!!! But I did break through 1 of them this past week! Shooting for 2 more this week! I will do this...Off to buy Jillian Metobolism Booster DVD! Got to switch it up a bit~
