with only 13 days left, i am going to throw in the towel with my late night snacking. i have not slept well in over a week now which makes the midnight munchie monster much more powerful (try to say that 10 times fast). anyway, until i can get myself sleeping again i am going to start a new challenge or two.
7-28
64 oz of water everyday- level 1 (one pause)
100 crunches everyday- level 1 (one pause)



lucky- way to go!!!! only one more day left!!!
pink- keep up the good work pink!!

Day 14 - exercise - good, 2 pauses left, level 3

Day 8 - calories under 1800 - good, 0 pauses left, level 1

Wow! Been busy here. Nice to see so many posts.

I've managed to catch up on reading all of them but just having a hard time writing! My 2 1/2 year old keeps waking up right after I get home from work in the morning, which is usually my best time to get on here and write. I keep hoping he'll go back to sleeping later, but it hasn't happened yet. So far this morning though, he's being quiet, even though he's awake.

Trob - hope you can get that sleep problem under control soon! That's a tough one.

Sushi - Good job on the cheddars! Way to go! Have a good time on your ride this weekend. I'm jealous! I miss riding so much it drives me crazy. Hopefully someday I'll get back to it.

Red, Pink, Lucky - you all are doing great! Keep going!

Jolly - Hang in there and don't apologize, we understand!

Apple - nice to see you back!

Have a good day all!

OH YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!! Been there done that!!!!!! 21 days!!!! That's my middle name!!! Lucky 21 day ducky!!!!!! I feel so DARN GOOD!!!!! It was so hot out today, that I waited til after 10 tonight to try walking, and you know what? There are scary things out on the trail in the dark ( or in my imagination, I am not sure which,) but, it sure made for a VERY fast walk!!!! Ok now, imy walking is a habit, don't let me forget it!!!!!! Thanks so much for the support folks!!!!! May your habits come quickly!!!! Keep on truckin!

Congrats LuckyDucky! Way to go!
:c arrot:

Day 15 - exercise - good, 2 pauses left, level 3

Day 9 - calories under 1800 - good, 0 pauses left, level 1

Lucky - You did it! Good job!

Pink- Keep that good attitude! You are making your life better and healthier everyday. Enjoy your relaxation day!

So far, so good for me on the calories. Staying under 1800 isn't too hard, except on weekends, and the weekend is here. I'm going to try really hard to get through it. Saturday night we almost always BBQ and Sunday morning is the only morning that I cook a hot breakfast. Of course my husband likes all the high fat, high calorie stuff so it's always a challenge to find some middle ground that won't ruin my day. Somehow I will get through this!

Hi to everyone else here! Have a great weekend!

WAY TO GO LUCKY!!!!
everyone else...keep up the good work!!
i stated a new challenge yesterday after aborting my midnight munchie taming...funny thing- i slept like a baby.
7-29
64 oz of water- 18 days to go- level 1- one pause to use
100 curnches- 18 days to go - level 1- one pause to use
(my abs are KILLING ME!!)

Heh, Sushi, did you get that riding in?

I'm back from riding. A hard lesson, but the teacher said it was some of my best work so far...chickened out at the end though as it was just too new and I kind of freaked....anyhow, I'm hoping to build on that next time. I will be back to write more later.

Hey Red!
Yea, I did get the riding in, and it was awesome! I really enjoyed it, and so did my boyfriend, which makes me really happy because he felt a bit uneasy with horses before. It was funny at first... neither of us could get the horses to listen to us, and they started grazing instead moving along! But we got the hang of it with time.
We rode for 2 hrs, covered some 15 kms... mostly walk, bits of trot here and there, lovely scenery. It was great. And I'm not sore at all! Steve is though, poor guy! I shared your advice with him, and he found it very helpful.

Challenges wrapped up for today.... just typing up my food log. though I need to ask a girl at work whether that tiny piece of naughtines she talked me into having contained any chocolate. If yes, then I had a pause day some time last week.

Challenge 1: max 15 cheddars per day -- completing Day 15
Challenge 2: no chocolate -- completing Day 8
Challenge 3: keeping a food log -- completing Day 8
Challenge 4: no food after 7 pm -- completing Day 8

red- hang in there and take it one day at a time (sometimes one minute at a time is better for me).

pink- wow, you have almost completed ALL of your challenges...keep up the good work!!
good luck with moving. there is nothing like moving right as school is about to begin. i moved two years in a row 2 weeks into the school year.

lucky and dj- hope you are doing well with you challenges.
