Thanks Red, I appreciate the support, from all of you! I have never found a tool like 3FC before, I think it's amazing.
Jolly, I see you want to be "inked" for one of your rewards! That's awesome, what do you have in mind, if you don't mind me asking?
Oh! Day 4 of challenge met! I walked this morning, althought it was a little uncomfortable. The bottom of my feet are getting very irritated. I have good supportive shoes, and I've been doing this over a month. Can you get calluses on your feet from walking? And no, it's not athletes foot!
It'll be another challenging day. My Granddaddy's 90th birthday! Lots of cake and ice cream! Then the GA-FL game. Ohhh the GA-FL game!!
Hey all. Busy day here too. Got together with my two girlfriends. Found out my 11 year old honorary niece is pimping for her auntie - trying to hook me up with her friend's dad What a hoot.
Beachlvr - I have always wanted to get a tiger on my hip or thigh. Just a me thing.
Day 13 - daily log, daily food journal, daily abs all complete
Day 11 - daily workout complete.
I try. That's where I came up with my name. Cuz' all fat people are jolly. Ho frigging Ho.
Seriously though, it WAS funny.
I was having a cave dwell kind of day. Curled up on the couch with the dogs and flipped between horror movies and HGTV all day. Did not get my law school app done. But I did make the right decision and went to the gym, and did my abs, so all challenges met for the day. Woo hoo.
This sucks. I have to start over on my challenges. Last weekend I had horrible cramps. This weekend? I caught an awful cold. I've been in bed pretty much all day yesterday and today.
I'm going to wait until I'm back to being 100% me before I start my challenge...cause I'm still sick. I've gone through a box and a half of kleenex since Saturday morning.
Nikki: I am so sorry to hear about your cousin and your aunt! Please keep us updated. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
Challenge #2 Scale Avoidance...I'm going to have to start over on this one. I'll start tomorrow, since Monday is my weigh in day.
Nothing new with my cousin. I'm almost scared to call for an update. Thanks for all your support.
The weekend was tough with the Halloween party. I spen all day Saturday decorating and getting ready (which could probably be counted as a workout alone with all the ladder and stair climbing I did). Then all the food Saturday night - actually I did pretty good with what I ate. I just ran out of time to workout and track. Yesterday, was spent cleaning and recovering. The party went pretty well. I'll post some pictures up as soon as I get a chance.
Quiet - Sorry you're feeling down, hope you're feeling better soon!
I'm sorry guys, I don't have a lot of time to write more now - I'll get back later...I'm thinking of you all!!
Day 15 - calories @ 2000 or less - 1 pause left
Day 10 - exercise - 3 pauses left
Wow, I'm having a hard time keeping up with posting lately. I've got another really busy week ahead too with halloween and some school funtions for the kids. I'll try to catch up with you all soon.
Day 15 - calories @ 2000 or less - 0 pause left
Day 10 - exercise - 2 pauses left
Well, took my last pause yesterday on the calories. The day just never seemed to slow down! The good news was that I did get all my stuff done yesterday. Wasn't sure I'd pull it off.
Jolly - Yeah, I'm pretty good at finding time for myself. I get early and enjoy the quiet before the 3 kids get up and I'll sit and have a cup of tea at night when my little one goes down for the night. I so look forward to those moments!
Shy - It can be hard to get in all food groups sometimes, however, serving sizes are usually smaller than people realize so make sure you know the recommended sizes. I get in my grains through my whole grain breakfast cereals usually such as kashi or oatmeal. I will spinkle whole oats on yogurt and I also use whole grain/high fiber crackers for a snack. Those couple of things added to some kind of grain at lunch or dinner gives me plenty.
Nikki - Despite the stress, you're doing great keeping up with us and your challenges!
sorry I haven't posted in a while, went away for the weekend so for the good news and the bad news
Day 7-So No D's, no pause days. (i just can't be trusted)
Day 6 (used one pause day)-No eating out for lunch at work 3 pause days/1 left.
Day 7 No vending machine at work no pause days.
I was able to stick to everything except the eating out for lunch, but I am ok with that. I'm broke this week so less of a threat and i am broke because I used my debit card to buy food and just went a lil crazy so.....
day 1 No buying food with my debit card except grocery shopping no pause days
The calorie thing was blown out of the water so have to restart that one and changing it to give me a little more wiggle room
Day 1 (used one pause day) Under 2200 Calories 2 pause days. 2 left
Busy - Busy!! I have a feeling I'm not gonna have time to post much until the weekend with all that's going on. My cousin sorta came to for a bit yesterday - but had no clue his legs were gone, they re-sedated him. I don't know how long that's going to last. I was told that if he recovers, he'll be in the hospital at least a month! No news on my Aunt. Keep praying guys! I had my first salsa lesson last night - lots of fun! Of course, I look like an Amazon compared to everyone else - that won't get better once I start wearing heels! I'm not THAT tall, everyone else is just short! I hope you guys are all doing well - I'm sorry I don't have more time to catch up with you, but I am thinking of you all!!
I promised some pics from the Halloween Party, there are 2 of me alone, 1 with me & Russ (the ex twice removed that I've been hanging with) & another of Russ alone - I couldn't resist, he looks really good! BTW - he's lost 70 lbs in the past year!! I think I've talked him into being my coach...more on that later!
