i havent been doing great with the eating but im going to the grocery tonight to fix that!

i did do an hour of cardio and an hour of strength and abs last night so YAY!

i do a workout in the park with this trainer. she gives these sessions for free. anyway we have to kick a ball through this unbeliveably hilly park and i kicked the RED ball! makes me think of you guys!

hope everyone is doing well. i havent had time to do personals but we kick butt RED TEAM!

Oops! I did the one leg stand wrong. I had the leg that was up folded under me instead of out straight. I will have to re-do those!

How far up are we talking here?

Wait how do we do the leg balance thing? I think I did mine wrong too I did them like bob does on TBL workout #1. Gotta Re-do.

Hey girls quick!

Cheap HR monitor on Woot today $20.00! Its a Reebok. Not super fancy but has a chest strap so it's a fairly good one that usually would run around $70 range.

I can't decide if I should get a back-up for my Polar.

1. What would you like us to call you? earthgrl, Darcee

2. What eating plan are you using? Weight Watchers Online

3. What is your favorite way to exercise? Cardio!!!! Specifically an arctrainer....it's similar to an elliptical but no arm movement, all legs.

4. What is one area of weightloss that you struggle with? binge eating

5. What is one area of weightloss that you excel at? excercise, but I only get to really truly go at it on my days off

6. What is your short term goal? to meet my WW 10% mark. 5# to go!!

7. What will you reward yourself with when you reach that goal? a mani/pedi. It's warm here already, sandal season and I've never indulged myself with either of them.

8. Best weight loss tip? Surround yourself with supportive people. My parents live with me and have gotten used to my eating separately (my mom cooks a lot of the meals and is old school meat and potatoes. I'm a vegetarian and making a lifestyle change....they don't go together). And there are quite a few of us at work trying to live healthier lifestyles, four of us on WW. So we trade food ideas that we have found that keep us OP.

9. Bob or Jillian? Jillian. I'd dislike her at first, but she'd be the one to push push push.

10. Tell us a little about yourself! I'm a single mother of 3: 2 DS's and 1 DD. I'm an RN, love my career, just not every moment of every day. I'm a HUGE fan of music. I only really turn my nose up to country and rap, otherwise I'll listen to about anything. I'm an avid reader, I always have my nose in a book. Love the outdoors, going to different state parks and wandering around with the munchkins getting filthy lol. Always looking for something new to explore. Originally from the Midwest.

I'm struggling with what to use as reward for our challenge (because I'm going to accomplish my goals!). I am single with no children, and I reward myself often (not reward myself often because I'm single with no kids, but because I don't have anyone to spend the extra cash on. Selfish? Perhaps. - I do overbuy for my nephew and my sister gets on my case about it! ) I can't think of anything that would be something I may not just go out and buy for myself on any given week. I have to really think about what I want to do. I am going to an actual beach for vacation the first week of June. I wonder if there's anything I could do to prepare for that? Hmmm?

Disclaimer - I have periods in my life that I've really gone without and maybe that's why I let myself splurge so much now. I do not live outside of my means. Inner dialog: I hope I don't sound like a selfish, spoiled brat because I don't *think* I am!

OK, my red bracelet is going to have beads that read W.W.HUN.E.D

By the way Hun....did you find that friendship bracelet pattern?

What about W.W.H.H.Q.D?????

You don't sound like a brat. I'm single with a decent job and no kids also. It's OKAY to treat yourself as much as you like with non-food rewards as long as you live within your means and save a little.

Whew! It's sometimes hard to tell the tone of something written. I tend to joke around a lot but that doesn't always come across in posts. I'm glad you understand! I've been on the other side of the coin which is perhaps why I've become such a saver. I've had many "rainy days," and I've just recently gotten to the point where I can breathe! (Gosh - I hope I didn't just jinx myself. )
