Likenoother - Congrats. Was it with a DVD or just on your own? I have a ball but I don't end up using it much... I should have the turbo jam ball workouts by next week though so maybe I'll use it more.

Can't wait for tonight!

My own exercises but at some point I will use it with BL 2 workout. Now that you mentioned Turbo Jam I will look into those workouts too.

Good Afternoon everyone!!! Well a lul in my day, its dinner time soon and then its off to my oldest's school for open house. Which really stinks because its right when BL and BB are! And I only can record one show at at time! Oh the dilemma!! LOL!! Yes I'm a tv addict!

You'll all be proud to know that I DID ride my bike to school again today. Despite it being very very smoky out which makes it really hard to breathe, but i did it anyway! Still on plan! Still fighting headaches though, but not nearly as bad as the weekend...oh detox from sugar is NOT fun!!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!! did you see we have a Black team forming?

Danielle....I hope that errand day wasnt too traumatic!! I know how much you just love these days!!

likenoother....WOOOHOOO!!! Way to go girl!!! Keep up that good work!! Are you still flying high on those endorphins!!

Missi...hello and Welcome to the team!!! My family called me Missy when I was a young one, actually my brother still does call me that. Good luck on those goals...you can do it!!

Now thats not nearly our whole team...where is everyone today? Remember Red team, to be on a team we must all work together, that means checking in! Cant wait to hear how your day is going! What's everyone having for dinner?

I think its exciting about the black team because it's just like the show. They thought they were going home and they still get to compete. I still have two more bottles of water to drink. So excited about the show tonight. My bf didn't want anything special for his b-day-- like going out to dinner --besides his gift so I will get to watch the show. He doesn't care anything about it so I will have shut him up a few times but I can't wait.

hey that is really cool! They all thought they didnt get to compete because they didnt meet the deadlines and lo and behold they actually do! LOL! Granted its on their own but thats okay! I'm really excited for tonight!

Hang in there Michelle. Whenever you're ready, jump on back in.

Diva- I hope you feel better! My bf is sick right now too and if he gets me sick, I'll seriously have to kick him

Melissa and likenoother - Congratulations on the exercising! That's more than I did today.

Everybody else, HELLO!!!


I'm a fat happy cat right now. Dinner was awesome. I'm supposed to go out for lunch and dinner tomorrow. Any suggestions? It's really tough for me to be good at restaurants, that's why I usually avoid them.

Hey Red team! I watched the whole TBl show tonight, that definitely motivated me to keep the snacking under control!

Good job to everyone who exercised! It's finally starting to cool off here in Iowa, so I took my girlie in her stroller and we did a nice walk by the river. Just for you guys, I'm going to go do weights now.

AmberD - trying eating a salad before anything else. I usually get tired of chewing through all that lettuce and then I eat less of my entree. Good luck!

Good Evening Everyone. What did I do for my team today? I did a Crunch DVD and did pilates along with keeping my calories in check. Tomorrow I plan on doing my jogging/walking combo. I just got my new Fitness mag and can't wait to hop on the treadmill to read it. Tomorrow evening we are going to Old Chicago for supper, so calories will be up, but I'll adjust the rest of the week to compensate. Have a great night.


Bridgette.
