day 19 - Exercise everyday - good - 0 pauses left
Ok, I finished the calorie counting challenge and I'll start new challenges as soon as I finish the exercise one.
I also changed my weight tracker. I feel like I need to start looking at the rest of my weight loss in a different way. I just want to try a few small weight goals, so I'm going with 10 pounds at a time. I think I end up falling into that trap of looking at the big picture too often and not at the small goals that are easier to deal with. This is especially true after gaining 10 pounds back over the summer vacations, holidays, etc...
Red - Glad to hear you're still on track and look forward to hearing more from you soon!
Sweet Pea -
Good job on that challenge! To top it off, you're doing great on your other challenges as well!Yes, counting calories can be a pain, however, after a while it does become a habit, so it's not too bad now that I've been back to it for while.
Lost - You're doing great too! You're almost done with 3 of your challenges and more than half way on your 4th. Good job!
London - I've been hearing about those ice storms you have been getting and I don't envy you! We get snow here, which of course turns to ice as people drive on it, but as far as "ice storms", I can't even imagine!
Shad - What a thought, piling up butter on the shelf at the store! I can't imagine what I would be thinking if I saw that!
Ashley - Looks like you're doing good with your challenges! I'm sure that you'll notice an improvement rather quickly now that you're working out again. It seems that when I have taken a break during vacations and such, that my workouts seem really hard for a while, but suddenly I'll notice a big improvement. I know you had to take quite a bit of time off, but you'll get there before you know it!
Have a great day everyone!
on the calorie counting, 
:clap:
Before that I made and drank the vegetable juice. I'm getting to really like this. I just think how healthy it is and how bright it'll make my eyes! 
You've taken on quite a few challenges! Best of luck! 
I hear you on "looking at the rest of my weight loss sin a different way." Perhaps that's what I need, just looking at a bit, instead of imagining myself with ripped abs. I know they say image training is good for you and maybe I still should do it, but the image of ripped abs in my head and the image in the mirror just makes me want to cry. 
So sorry for the belated congratulations!! 
We look forward to having you with us again! Don't be long! 
Are you still going on the no-alcohol? Yeah, it's been hard, but I'm almost through. And, you know, it's getting easier to just go home and not hang out. In fact, the other day, I actually called a friend to see which bar he was in, but then said, nah, I'll let you guys carry on and I went home! Now, that is unusual! And the other night I did have some I quit after just a couple. Ok, I admit, it's not much fun, but I'm doing it to try to cut the calories. Though I'm not seeing much in results, I think it'll start showing up. I plan to do a few more rounds! 
Hope you get that out of there for good. Oh, yeah, the juicing. You asked before and I hadn't said. I now have a big new juicer that ejects the pulp, but the thing is so big I haven't tried it yet. I use a little one that keeps the pulp inside. I used to get real annoyed by it because I'd have to clean it out halfway through, but now I just make less juice and it usually can keep going for that. It's not that hard to clean once you get into the habit of just immediately rinsing off the parts. Well, I don't know what kind you had. You really should get one that's relatively easy to clean. Drinking veggie juice just makes me feel so good and good about what I'm doing for myself! 
Well, hang in there!
