We all make our to-do lists...pick up groceries, laundry, clean house...run errands...
but how many of us put on our to-do list...

TODAY I'M GOiNG TO TAKE CARE OF ME!!!?????????

That's why today needs to be the day for change. You will never achieve your goals if you put them off over and over again. You have to make time for the important things in life. And losing weight is one of the most important things of all - it could even extend your life by a few years if you are fit and healthy.

Ladies, what do you do or like to do that helps you deal with TOM fatigue, bloating, cravings, etc. and stay on track? Anyone have any tips or tricks up your sleeves?

I think TOM is my very worst enemy in life (dieting or not)...and even if you do all the right things while trying to eat right and exercise it stills feel like you're going nowhere for up to two weeks every single month. Grrrrr

Wen--Just keep at it because you're storing all the good. When TOM passes you get hit with a WOOOOOOSHHHH from all the good you've done!

Hey fellow Reds, As Rainbow suggests think of what you're willing to commit to the BOND cause and we'll all throw all those promises in the train car that gets posted tomorrow!

I struggle with this too! What I've found works is just pushing through. I know that's easier said than done, but I've learned to just keep on exercising even when I really feel like curling up on the couch instead. I usually feel so much better after exercise, even just a nice leisurely walk. I also do cut myself some slack for one day.

I usually have one really bad day, so I'll let myself relax, unwind and eat some treat foods and get back on the wagon the next day. I usually buy myself some really nice chocolate from a local chocolate shop to indulge in (in moderation of course! )

Sorry there's no quick and easy answer from me. I'm interested to see wht the others have to say. Remember, any weight that comes on during that week will easily come off again if you stay on the wagon (train?).

Just got back from the gym. We skipped the volunteer party (DH really wasn't feeling like going, he's having a rough week) and I completed my best treadmill 5k yet! (walking/jogging combo)

I like the challenge to plan our last chance workout! I'll take a look at my schedule and see what I'm up for on Friday (Saturday is my rest day this week) and get it posted!

Thanks for the comment on my new photo, JayTee....I had a great lunchtime walk at work today and had some fun taking goofy photos of myself in the sunshine.

Last Chance Workout will not be gym related for me, and I'm not sure I'll have access to post on here until I come home Sunday afternoon (Saturday night for ya'll). But my plan is to eat on plan even with traveling and to get a lot of walking in around the big city.

Another AMAZING KICK BUTT WORKOUT tonight ladies!! Check out my journal for details. I've put in the work at the gym this week...let's hope it pays off on the scale. Also have a new schedule for the gym starting next week that I am super excited about. Have a good one ladies. I'm going to post one more time tomorrow morning before I leave and then I'll be back by Saturday night for you all.

Good morning RED TEAM!!!!!!!!

Although I didn't take a pic of the scale, when I peeked (again) this morning it said 241.6, which means that this week I have lost a whopping 10.2 pounds so far! I am REALLY hoping that the scale keeps moving! I'd love to zip right on through the 240's and be in the 230's on the official weigh in!!!!! I am so pumped about that!

LAST CHANCE WORKOUT!!!!!
What am I going to do? Well, tonight will be an appointment with my Wii. I have plans to go to Best Buy and have my computer examined so I won't have time to make it to the gym. But...I signed up for something at work yesterday that I think will REALLY get me moving! My office is putting together a team for the Hunger Walk 5K on March 13, 2011 to raise money for the Atlanta Community Food Bank. I have never in my life done a 5K...or even a walk of any sort with a group for a cause. This is TOTALLY me taking a step out of my comfort zone and into the unknown! My husband and I are both going to sign up to walk it. So far three other people have signed up too, although I don't know if they will be walking or running it. I'll have to ask them. So...this means I have to get my BUTT-ER to the gym and onto a treadmill for more than 5-7 minutes. LOL! Yes, I know that I prefer the elliptical but this will definitely force me to get out of my happy little comfort zone and do something that I haven't done before.

Hmmm....Star Trek....to boldly go where I have not gone before!!!!!

UP AT AT 'EM BOND GIRLS!

Today we are adding a hopper car to our 007 Fighting Train. Like Rainbow said, commit to a final workout plan. We'll store it in this car and KEEP PUSHING!

Let's see, so far I believe:

-- we've convinced Wen to push through TOM and keep working out instead of curling up on the couch.

--Shan will spend a final workout with her new killer trainer and then work off more calories juking and dodging Taylor Swift fans.

--Charlie June WILL finish that complete second mile!

--DesiDoo will continue to patch up our fallen and send them to the back of the train to PUSH HARDER!

--Peanutt - WAY TO PASS ON THAT PIZZA & BEER party. "rest day on Saturday." Rest day? What's a rest day?!?!?!

--Courtney - WILL get her butt-er on the treadmill to start training for a 5K

--JayTee -- will finish a 4 mile run in under 56 minutes and drop 3 lbs. this week.

Here's our hopper car and filling station. We got plenty of room for more promises!!!

Haha Rainbow. It looks like I beat you to the post by 4 minutes this morning!
