I completed Day 6 and today is my *Pause* day....I'm still boiling over the fact that the car dealership charged me $59.00 to replace 3 tail-lights and an upper column brake-light. Oh the STUPIDITY of me to take it there....(I didn't want to ask my neighbor for help again as he does everything...but I much rather would have given HIM the labor costs than the dumbass at the dealership who made me wait for an hour).....grrrrr....I hope i use lots of calories fuming about this! Just THINK how many bottles of wine I could have bought?

Well since work has picked up a bit and I;ve been slacking on updating with you guys, this challenge is gonna be pretty simple:

1. Post EVERYDAY (No exceptions)
2. Walk ATLEAST 5000 steps a day (bought myself a pedometer so wanna put it to good use. HOPEFULLY work up to the good ol' 10,000 i think that they say is good)

So starting tomorrow since I JUST came up with it....

Now let's see if I use it. I got it for 64.00 it's a Elite something or other..

1st of all I’m so embarrassed for not keeping up to date. I’ve had so many things going on! We went out of town this weekend just to relax and bum around. Only problem was I forgot my Vitamins! I was so upset my husband offered to drive back home. (2hr drive) I got myself together decided to do everything else and start again. It wasn’t the least bit easy pushing this aside but we really needed time alone in a stress free place. So ladies here I sit ready to start again! But it is well worth it I had the best time! So Day 1 success!! ( Same challenge)

Now I’m going to try and play catch up!
SHAD CARLA RED Chaps
Congratulations!! You guys really inspire me!

Chaps good for you not going to lunch with those snobs! Personally I think it says a lot about a person not wanting to belong to that kind of group!

Curly – Your dog is a cutie and sitting so nicely for the picture.


carla49 – Glad to hear the Gazelle is up and running.

Day 14 for me.. Wow the gazelle's are multiplying! My walking partner is raring to to get out there.. so i guess i better get the walking shoes and get out there! Idid really well yesterday... walked 2 miles in the am ... hit the circuit training for an hr after work and came home and pushed myself to walk 3 more miles..

lol i sure slept good last nite! i am determined that #$%%% scale will move by halloween!!

Hey all. After going for 22 days without chocolate, I gave in and had some. And was not so great. I ended up eating some brand that was a gift, and it was not very flavorful, and I thought, man, I could have gone for longer, and wasted it on this. Ah, well. I still finished the challenge.

I'm going to take a couple of days off because my dad and his wife are here. It's their first time in New York, so I'm definitely baby sitting them, whether they need it or not. We are going to hit some of my favorite restaurants, too, so I think a new challenge can wait for a couple of days. I'll try to come up with something really good and maybe hard.

I'll check in each day, though. There does seem to be a lull in energy on here. I'm definitely part of it, too. Perhaps it has suddenly dawned on us that the summer is really over, and now we're all facing the end of the year, I don't know. Let's keep each other pumped up! GO TEAM!!

Day 1 done...I have been eating my apples and drinking my water...I hope everyone else is doing well.

Good Morning Everyone,

Red- I'm between challenges right now. I have to watch the video on how to use this thing. I tried it out and it seems kinda awkward. Maybe I was doing something wrong. It's also kind of close quarters for my big bum if ya know what I mean. LOL!

Red – That huge plate of spaghetti had my mouth watering. That is one my top 5 favorite foods. On the rare occasions I make it. (Pasta has a way of going straight to my bum) I use 100 % wheat noodles. I thought my family wouldn’t like them but they LOVE them. Now that is how they like all their pasta. They like the fact it’s more firm. Have you heard my tantrums all the way in Japan!!??? I hope I haven’t kept you awake. Actually I got really quiet and sat there I must of looked really sad because that is when he said it.
My challenge is
1. Take My Multi Vitamins (6 total if I can handle the Super Omega Complex)
2. Stay in my WW Points
3. Exercise at least 5 minutes a day.
4. Not weight my self until the end of 21 days.
5. Tell myself while looking in the mirror each moring that I CAN do this!! And something good about myself!
The Vitamins I take are – Glucosamine Sulfate 1000 mg, MGM 500 mg, Calcium 600 mg, Super Omega Complex (when I can stomach they again) And Ultra Woman High Potency time released Multi Vitamin, Mineral,Herb for Women. I’m also taking something called Vital Joint it has Micro Lactin it works with the Gluco,Cals,and MGM for my bones and joints. I have bad knees.

Chaps - sounds like you have a nice few days coming up. I’m sure they are going to have a wonderful time!

Well I’m going to make breakfast. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Hmm, i think i need a new challenge. The 1500 calories/day is too challenging Just kidding. But I am back to day one. (yesterday was supposed to be day 1 again, but when I totaled everything up, I was at 1535 - I *had* to have whipped cream on my hot chocolate). Actually, the problem was that I ate fast food for dinner and ate the entire medium fries!

But i was/am in a better mood at the beginning of this week then i was last week. (PMS much?) If I can make it through one weekend w/o going over 1500, then I know i can make it the full 21 days!

Curly, way to go! you are doing great!

It looks like a lot of us are either between challenges or just starting new ones. Come on, we can do it! Have a great day everyone!

I'm back and completed Day #7! OK, so coach-carla hasn't been cracking her whip and I only did 11 mins....but I didn't not do it!. Where is that woman? off riding her Gazelle?

OT for a moment.....has anyone seen the movie on Cable, Harold and Kumar go to White-Castle? In one scene (after smoking weed) they ride off on a Cheeta they find in the woods after Neil Patrick Thomas steals their car to go pick up chicks (strippers) to get This movie is hysterical!

RB.....the price of the light-bulbs was $5.90........the LABOR (to plug in the bulbs?) and 6% sales tax is what drove up the price to ridicules-ness...it's live and learn (not to be stupid with my $$).

Hope everyone is doing well, I'm determined to stick out this challenge and complete it!

Hi everyone. Wow, stay away from the computer for a few days and look what happens!!!! I took some time last night to catch up. Congrats to all of you who made it!!! And belated happy birthday Carla!
I messed up big time over the week end so today is back to day one. I am glad to be starting with everyone at the same time. I think it will help.
I'm going to be tougher on myself this time....
NO beer, wine or booze AT ALL!!!!!
And (actually this is easier) sit ups every night.....
I have to go and pick up my daughter!!!! BYE
