I've been decorating.cleaning and dressing my flat ready for the agents to value it on Tuesday - eeeeeeeeeuk, but it must have added to the kcals worked off.
I did everything on my list this week so I must have hit target mileage, mustn't I?
So 54 for me! I might do more next week as I am adding another class to my schedule. The pedometer will tell me!
Still no weight loss (and I ate a pizza tonight, well I had just cleaned the oven!). But I am now unpicking the waist band of a fairly expensive skirt I bought about 3 weeks ago!
Stef (I won't publishing my weight agian until I lose some of it!!).
I have not received everyone's updates. If your total is not right please let me know. We have one week left to hit our goal! Everyone keep up the GREAT work!

Well I am in Ann Arbor, MI this week for a training class but the good news is that my foot is finally healed and I can walk again AND they have a TREADMILL in the exercise room! I'm delighted! No update for last week for me but I'm getting my sneakers on and heading down for some serious walk time now. I feel like I'm back in the game again!
Hello to everybody. I have been quite busy so you haven't seen me around in a while. But I recieved the news today. I was laid off my seasonal cotton testing job....YIPPPPPPEEEEE!!!!! I was too happy to get that news.
Another piece of great news when i was on campus I came across a flyer for the intramural club. I guess that is like the athletics dept. Well they have a 100 mile challenge to be completed by December 11. I figured well I have to exercise for my families weight challenge so I would go ahead and join in and allow my mileage to count towards this challenge as well. For every 100 miles completed entrants will recieve a T-shirt. So I have been on my elliptical machine every evening doing 6 miles. So I passed my goal but I will tally up by this weekend. And hopefully all my efforts will pay off in the end. I haven't yet seen the scale move and now that I am not going to be doing manual labor at the evening job I am going to have to do it myself and buckle down seriously.
Well just thought I would let everyone know things are getting better. Talk later.
Kina: We're and and and more for your meeting your challenge and losing to your mini goal. WooHoo! Don't forget to take a day off once a week to let your body rest.
Just checking in. Wow last night must have been my night to catch up on all that lost sleep. I fell asleep on the couch at about 9pm. DH woke me up at some point to go to the bed. This morning I didn't want to wake up. I think I might end up asleep early again. Although I have to remind myself that I have to get some homework turned in by Saturday.
Needless to say, I didn't get my 6 miles in on the elliptical. Perhaps I will double up tonight. I have to say the results are greatly showing especially in my legs. I don't measure myself very often...I guess because I am not sure what I am doing with that measuring tape. Anyhow I see that i have been losing in my waist. I am just hoping that this elliptical machine melts that fat off the other areas and not just workout the legs. Is there anyone that uses an elliptical machine that can share with me what sort of results they have found by using this machine? When I bought it, the machine did not come with anything other than the put it together instructions.
Thanks SEMO it is nice to finally have some time to breath. But knowing me when the cotton season comes around again you know what I will be doing.
I better get going. I want to take a little bitty nap before the kids get home from school. Talk later. Oh! When does the mileage count end on Saturday or Sunday? Let me know.
Hey Kina, I've had my elliptical machine for over two years. It's the only exercise machine that I've ever stayed with and hasn't ended up as a clothes hanger. I don't really like the arms moving back and forth so I trade up and sometimes use weights and pump the arms as if I'm walking, a little tricky at first to keep your balance. I think it's a great workout for the lower body but I also have to do other exercises for my upper body and abs. (my biggest problem areas)
Welcome back Kina, that is great you will be able to get in some exercising..
My total for the week is 13 miles, a far cry from before,, I was away this weekend so only got in a little walking not much.
Oh well I hope to get in more this week coming.
Gotta go and do all the laundry, and catch up on all my housework, can't be away playing on the weekend, the little elfs just don't come in and do it for me,,,,, can't figure that one out... LOL..
Welcome back Kina! The challenge ends on Sun 9/15/02. I will post the totals tomorrow and start the new challenge tomorrow so everyone post your totals and look for the new challenge. It looks like everyone is doing really good. Fatchickfour- would love for you to join the new challenge. just look for the new thread tomorrow.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I've been out of touch but even though I was travelling last week I managed 7 miles. Far cry from my goal this time time around, but I was glad to get back in the groove. Looking forward to the next challenge. Thanks again 3mom for keeping us on our toes!
