Hi everyone!

Good job Scuzin! You are an encouragement to all! :jig:

Hi Cat-Good luck. As for the exercise, do you think the Tae Bo might be harder on your knee than the walking? Or have you tried an elliptical machine? And if it hurts at the end, make sure to ice it. Either way, a little bit can go a long way. Good luck to you! :)

Marti-You still have the right attitude. My 21 day challenge is to drink more water also. I have a tendency to confuse my hunger and thirst, so I need to change that. Day 2 for me.

Good luck to all!

Hi ladies--

Well I thought I should pop in since I said I was going to start posting...today went great...had my breakfast and I'm getting the water in....slowly but it's getting in!

I have a lot going on this Spring Break (I'm getting married on the 24th!!!).....and I usually pop in a few times with the Jaded Ladies and chat then I'm off...so coming here to this post sometimes is forgotten. So...I have decided to bring my challenge over to the Jaded Ladies.....(this challenge is mainly for myself )to keep me on track.

I hope I don't sound like a terrible poster, but I thought I would let you know in case you wondered where I went to. If this thread was more active, I may consider coming back.

I want to let you all know that you are all welcome to join me over at the Jaded Ladies thread.....we're way at the bottom in "Clubs & Groups"

Please forgive me and don't think I'm abandoning you all.....with everything going on here at home...I felt I should concentrate in one area.

Good luck to all and feel free to pop in and say "hello"!!

Marti

Day 5!
 

Hi everyone!

It is 4:30 a.m. and I am still up. Got crazed working on my daughter's project due this a.m. Gotta stop this perfectionist thing - but it looks great - she did most of the work herself but I had to tweak, edit, etc. until she went to bed disgusted :^:

Just now getting around to posting. I am going to be beat tomorrow. Anywho, I have had 5 days of success - Treadmill and 100 oz water everyday :cb: I just got off the scale and I am up a pound- go figure. I think I am going to have to add in no scale to my challenge as well. The scale is a cruel lover for me. I weigh in 3 times a week with MWL but I could go and just not look. Got to think about how I am going to manage that.

I know it could be just water retention since I just took my BP med. I usually take it before bed so I can get some of my excess urination going before work. I know this is TMI. I am not giving up - 16 days to go!!

M.N.J. I miss you already - thanks for stopping in - may have to check your jaded ladies out

CarOLen - thanks for the tip - I wish I had an eliptical but hubby says we can't bring in another piece of equipment unless we get rid of something! We have a stair master, a huge treadmill and a bowflex (which we are not usingI). As soon as I get my office cleaned out some more - I may have to make that investment. I may try the tae bo because it is not a constant pounding on my knee - but I will definitely do the ice - I can never remember if it's heat or cold - thanks again
Scuzin' - Congrats to you on your 21!!!! :cp: :cp: :cp:

Red - are u done with your challenge?

Everyone have a great day!

Congratulations on the marriage! And I may stop in there sometime. :)

Cat-That is some crazy hours you were pulling there! Good job on the good work. :) Keeps me going. The scale is the best and worst thing ever invented. I go with how the clothes fit, since weight can fluctuate so much. However, I did keep on track well when I had to get weighed when I donated plasma.

My friend's dad is a cross country coach, so I asked him about pulled muscles (since I seem to pull my groin a lot). He said heat before, ice after. Which makes sense. Try that. :)

Red--Red, where are ya girl? Your'e a great addition to this team. Come back!

I'm doing well on my water challenge. This weekend it was a bit harder, since I was volunteering and I didn't want to be a water hog. However, I took as much as I was allowed, and started hard core again Sunday.

Good luck everyone!

Carolyn

I forgot to add it's Day 7 for me. Oops!
