    If you could have any job in the entire world, what would it be and why?
    Studio singer. I would sing jingles for commercials and stuff, maybe do some dubbing for actresses who can't sing but need to in a movie. I'd LOVE to be the voice of a Disney Princess in a full-length Disney animated picture, but I fear the quality of Disney movies has gone downhill. I prefer the days of Belle, Jasmine, Ariel, and maybe even a little Pocahontas. I didn't like the animation of Tarzan or The Emperor's New Clothes (or whatever that one was with David Spade), and I think some movies have come out since that I haven't even had the heart to try to watch.

    Anyway, I love to sing (and am pretty good at it), but I'm not exactly the most confident when it comes to being on a stage or the center of attention, so this way, I could sing without people ever even knowing what I look like

    "67 minutes a day?! I thought you said we were starting slow to get into the swing of things Sorry, Blue Team, but I can't go from 0 minutes a day to 67 a day (especially when I didn't even read the rules until 7pm on the start day).

    Anyway, thanks for posting the challenge, and good luck to everyone!"

    Then later chelle gave a shorter option which works out to 33 minutes day and jilly came back on and wrote this

    Unfortunately the closest beach on the list I have is Ocean City NJ which is 132 miles so it would be 33 mins a day

    JIlly wrote Well, after I left here all pissy about it and finished my whining, I decided I wasn't going to go down without a fight. I went and changed, put on my sneakers, and then took my most hyper puppy out for a 45-minute fast walk (she was panting to keep up with ME!) and then stopped home to switch pups and took the less hyper pup for a 25-minute walk. So i did it--I went from 0 minutes to 70 minutes today.

    So, moral of the story: put that competitive spirit to good use!

    Thanks, chelle!


    OMG im so proud of her and i love her team spirit .. i had to share her achievement.. GO BLUE team ...

    ooh yeah and Chelle your are fabulous too great work girls

    OMG WAY TO GO JILL!!! I'm so proud of you!! I also wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do it , but I kicked myself in the butt and went out on the treadmill and did my C25K.

    I have a sneaky feeling this will change once you become a smoking hot momma!
  • Quote: I tried the Cesar Milan thing where you keep the leash really short so the dog keeps his head up--yeah, it didn't help
    I've been using a harness with the puppy and he's doing pretty good so far. I'm planning on ordering one of the 'Illusion' collars from Cesar's site when Beau get's bigger. Right now, he's only 4 months. Last night, he was doing well until these guys sped by us on their very loud 4 wheelers. Beau wasn't impressed!

    *gasp* You're using the "other" team's mascot!

    The week's not over yet! I still have a few more days so I'm shooting for 6 lbs for the whole week

    Rhonda - I keep meaning to get over to the Bob's Babes thread to answer your question but I still haven't read past chapter 1.
  • O...M....G.... we're at 45 pages?????

    I read a little here and there...I think I'm like, 4 questions behind...I caught the place/age one, and today's what job would you do...

    Ontario Canada, Nation's Capital area. 48

    Dream job....hmmm....I've got ADD...do I have to pick one??? Seriously, while I have been doing the same work for 15 years, it includes a lot of variety. But really, I'm so curious, I'd love to be able to go from job to job twice a year. I'd try all sorts of stuff: construction, home design, welding, veterinarian, heavy equipment operator, journalist, just to name a few.

    GO BLUE! okay...coloring the whole line blue didn't get the cheerleader...someone please let me in on the secret to getting that little blue cheerleader...we've got two Black team members on the Crazy Canucks board, and I'm outnumbered. I've got to do something to show 'em up!
  • I do not have much time, but I wanted to pop in. Drank my calories yesterday, which was dumb. The mocha I got? I realized that I was so busy making sure it was decaf that I forgot to say "skim". there is 400 calories I will need an hour to work off. Then after the preschool party, we went out and I had some huge rum drink at Cheeseburger.

    Stupid.

    Gardening today. Lots of walking (shooting for 5 miles) tonight. Hope to see more progress before I post. Right now, my loss is pathetic.

    If you could have any job in the entire world, what would it be and why?
    I'd love to be an advocate in D.C. for the Children's Health Fund. No child should ever have to suffer because their families don't have the funds to provide them with medical care. I've been blessed with the love of public speaking and this charity speaks to my heart in a very special way. However, this job isn't the best job for a Mom and wife. The hours are extremely long and the social networking obligations are endless. Maybe I can talk Hubby into moving when the kids leave home for college? Hmmmm.
    In the meantime, I'm seriously considering becoming a speaker for the Georgia Ovarian Cancer Alliance. However, Hubby is going back to school in the fall and I'm not sure what my family committments will be. I've also been looking into voluneering with Habitat for Humanity. I'm a fairly decent tiler, painter, and dry wall tape & mudder. They don't have a chapter here in my county, but I'd be willing to drive for an hour to get to the sites in the neighboring county.


    BTW.....Chellez, 4 pounds! You go girl! We're gonna rock this challenge this time! Hey...question....can we still use the banner we had from last challenge? Can you send it out again?

    Comic book artist & illustrator. *sighs, resting chin in left hand looking dreamily to the right*

    I love stories. I love reading them & dreaming them up. And there's something truly magical about being able to share a story with pictures as well as words. I love the constant struggle of hero vs. villain... especially when the line becomes blurred as to who is who. I love the motivations of the characters. And I love to draw people. More than anything. So, it's a convenient combination of the two.



    Jill - I was so inspired to see you walking your dog to get 70 minutes done!

    Illusion collar, huh? I'll have to check it out. Bowser just gets SO excited to be out and walking that he is constantly pulling and choking himself. He loves everyone and everything and must sniff it/lick it/taste it/jump on it

    Bean, on the other hand, was too funny. She prances along with me just fine, but there were some people walking a few yards behind us, and you'd think they were chasing us with a chainsaw the way she kept looking back at them every few seconds and then running up in front of me. Poor thing--the world's a scary place when you only weigh 8 pounds!

    The two of them are like night and day. It's hard to remember they are from the same litter, we got them at the same time, we've raised them with the same training...anyone who thinks it's 100% nurture (as opposed to nature) should meet my pups!
  • I had two ERGH!!! days and didnt have time to turn on the computer and we are up to 45 pages - I left you all at 19... but I am excited about the beach hopping and have been exercising.

    My ex has been causing me grief and was having a hissy fit - firstly he wanted to take full custody of my son, and then he was stopping his child support. Anyway after he phoned last night - I pulled a swifty - and pulled his bluff and mentioned that if he didnt pay child support - I would call the taxation department to get it through his wages - we have a private arrangement for child support. He ended up breaking down and told me his business is not doing well. He left me, and a fantastic paying job to pursue this "dream" of his - two years later - it isnt doing well and he regrets it - I am not, will not EVER take him back!!!!!! But I do feel for him! It was doing well but he expanded too quickly - partly to make his income level low so he didnt have to pay me $$ in child support.

    I hope he doesnt think cause I listened to his woes - he has a chance at reconciliation - it is TOOOOO late for that!!!

    Anyway last challenge I joined a quilting group and I met tonight with them - I had fun - got some sewing done and didnt think once of eating. It is soo nice to talk to adults!!

    For the new bluesers - my dad had a massive heart attack last challenge - had a quadruple heart bypass and pacemaker put in... he went back to the specialist this week and is doing well - he needs to start exercising his upper body, he is allowed to start driving again - but I dont think dad will for a while -he doesnt quite feel up to it! Anyway he babysat Liam tonight while I went out... Its nice that my little boy gets to spend 1:1 time with Poppy.

    It is getting late here 11:30pm, I should think about planning lunches, and what I will do with Liam this weekend whilst I exercise - I want to get that first badge!! Have a good day! Night!
  • Quote: Amy, you are not weak and you don't suck at this. I think it's just time for you to re-evaluate your reasons for doing this and make a recommittment to yourself. I also would like to lose weight for my Hubby and be sexy for him. !


    GO BLUE!

    Im definately doing this for me the problem is im living the life of a single mother .. My hubby is working away and everything just keeps going wrong.. I have lost a good friend ( she has decided to be a B*tch ) but i have to see her everyday becuase our kids fo to the same school.. she has told her kid she is not allowed to talk to Cameron ( he is a kind loving sensetive boy and its upsetting him that his best friend isnt allowed to talk to him). and is ignoring my kids and me.. even walking past me with her nose in the air.. (even my 3 year old ) ... I feel great in the morning i can ignore her .. but in the afternoon it just seems harder becuase the kids have more time to play after school.. and atm i think this is what is triggering my blueness and comfort eating in the afternoon.. im hungry but im also emotional.. and we all know that can lead to bad choices.. lol.

    Im also living the life of a single mum since hubby is working away and evey extra dollar is going straight into the morgage so it feels like we are not benefiting though i know we are ..
    Then i have Leah who starts kindy in a couple of months and is very allergic to food additives ... Im constantly worrying about her.. what if they feed her something or she takes someone elses food??? She swells up all over and gets covered in a burning rash then has trouble breathing goes pale and starts to shake.. its terrible.. I then have Cameron who is behind his class at school and struggling..
    and at the end of the day i spose i just dont feel like im as important as everything else.. i dont know .. im just blue in the evening .. like everything just too much . and then you get the whole.. what does it matter pov lol.. I hate being alone at night i hate not having hubby to talk to and hold me and tell me Leah will be ok .. i just need him home.. i need my life to go back to normal .... i need to cry.. its so hard when your duaghter is allergic to everything. immunisation reactions antibiotic reaction serum sickness and erythemea mutliforme ( she was paralysed for 4 days so swollen her body was hard unable to move or be moved her kidney spleen and liver were all affected)asthma. grass pollen animal allergies. and now bloody food for crying out loud . i have almost lost her so many times.. im so scared of the next step.. im scared of being alone too .. i dont want to let her go... and i only have a little time till she is gone to kindy ,,, and ill be alone.. food was fine till she had her 6 month shots... at 3 years old.... had a raction from that and got sicker and sicker... and started reacting to food additives... try and find food with out them they are the numbers on the pack... ..

    IM sad im angry im lonely and im frustrated. and im sorry to put all this on here.. the flood gates just opened... and i thinkit was just what i needed.. I have cryed this entire post and im kinda feeling better now..

    Quote: Amy - I've had the same problem with dinner calories before. I got in the habit of eating lean cuisines and now its a habit I wish I could kick but my time schedule is really rotten right now.

    As far as exercising then not making up for the calories, take it from me (because this just happened to me this morning!) I exercised last night for 45 mins and had like 237 calories left for the day. It was 11 pm last night and I was starving after my workout. So instead of eating all 237 calories before bed, I had 2 slices of cheese and some water to hold me over.

    But this morning, I woke up 10 mins early and by the time I got my bagel at Starbucks I felt famished.

    But I was also down another pound this morning

    So while you may not want to eat because you'll afraid you may not lose, Bob says it on the show all the time, you need to eat to refuel your body from the work its done.

    My suggestion is not to try and eat all the calories you gain back from exercise, but at least half. See if that helps with your calorie budget at the end of the day since it sounds like you exercise prior to dinner (in my case its usually after.)

    i love your suggestion you cant get the tbl books here just the crappy food diary that i dont need.. so tyvm
