  • Hi Friends!

    I'm late in posting today but did get my goals done.

    1. Walked 25 flights of stairs.
    2. Drank 5 cups of water.

    That's the good news ...

    The bad? Weeeelllll .... last night I caved in and went to Walmart and bought a package of Stawberry Cheesecake snacks and ... I ate them.

    I knew better than to buy them to begin with [I have absolutely NO sense of moderation whatsoever when it's something that I like.]

    But ... the one thing that I am proud of is that I am NOT going to quit and decide to start again another time.

    I used to be famous for going off and doing something like that and then just plain giving up and saying that I'd start again [I've always been a good one for ... well, I'll wait and start again the 1st of the following month, etc.]

    This time though, I am going to keep going and am NOT giving up!

    I made a mistake but I go up, brushed myself off and am going to keep going! To me, this is an amazing accomplishment!

    Casper, it sounds like you're doing really well with both exercising and with losing. Keep up the good work!

    To put your weight tracker on here, you need to go to your "user CP" at the top of the page.

    Then click on "Edit Signature" and in there is where you put your code for your tracker thingie.

    [Hope that helps but if not, let me know and I'll try to help you more with it, K? ]

    Love,

  • We are Almost Done!
    Hey Ladies - it is the end of the week and only one more day to go! Let's all emerge victorious on accomplishing our goals today and tomorrow!

    Allie for Thursday's goals! Thanks for stopping in and letting us know how great you are doing. I love my treadmill - I think I need to get WATP too!

    Debi for Thursday and Friday's goals! Good for you for recognizing your setback, putting it behind you where it belongs (in the past) and moving forward to the future! It is so awesome how diligent you are on stair climbing. I am inspired to start stairs at work since I am missing out on so much treadmill time.

    Casper for your loss! Sounds like you are making walking one of your goals to meet each day/week? If so let us know how your doing each day or report on each day's progress periodically when you get a chance. Our week begins on Monday so you still have today and Sunday to earn kudos towards this week's goal.

    and me - for Wednesday and Thursday's water. Going for the gold today too!

    we are missing you AliLewis, Sushi, Selina, Bonnie, Carla, and Bobbi - hope you are all doing well.

    All that we have is right now.
    Yesterday is gone, Tomorrow is not promised, and Someday is not a day of the week!
  • mscat, way to go with your reaching your water goals!

    As for myself for today ... my goals are done.

    1. Walked 25 flights of stairs
    2. Drank 5 cups of water


    How's everybody else doing? I hope good!

    Have a wonderful day!

    Love,

  • Hello Ladies

    Just wanted to let you know how I'm doing.
    I'm not doing my challenge just yet... just taking things easy for now, resting and relaxing after the stress and craziness of the move (which went well, btw). I only have occassional internet access, and it's much harder without your support!
    We don't have a place yet, just staying with my fiance's family for about 2 weeks before getting out on our own. Things will probably get stressful again, but hopefuly not as hectic. The good thing is that I'm sleeping great - hurray! I've been getting up to 9 hrs of good sleep, and am in bed by 9 pm at the latest (can't keep my eyes open longer than that!).

    I'll check in again as soon as I can

    Good luck with your challenges
  • Hi Sushi!

    It was good to hear from you and I'm so glad to hear that you got moved okay [and that you're taking it easy for awhile now. Good for you!]

    Sleep ... uhmmmm, what's that?

    I do sleep at night [but not well] ... I am positive that I have sleep apnea but though I had one test done -- I couldn't sleep while I was there and so have to wait now to get approved to get another test done. [Grrrr!]

    Anyways ... I guess my point to all of this is that even though I do sleep at night [I've had no problems in falling asleep for a long time] ... but, I still feel like I haven't slept in years.

    I'm not sure of what type of sleep problems you are dealing with but trust me when I say that I can sure sympathize with you, sweetie. ((HUGS))

    Hurry back when you can!

    Love,

    Debi
  • Hello Ladies!

    For the past week, I did do my WATP for 4 days for a total of 9 miles.
    I drank 8 glasses of water 6/7 days. Still feeling under the weather not really hungry or thirsty.
  • Early Sunday Post
    Good morning ladies - I am taking Sushi's place - its 5:45 in the a.m. and I have been up for about 2 hours - unable to sleep. My current insomnia (and diarrhea ) is just stress. I have some work issues that have taken over my weekend and some contractor/construction project issues that have taken their toll as well.

    I have to keep reminding myself is I really don't have any problems - my house is not under water, I am not staying in a shelter, I didn't watch any of my love ones slip away into dark waters, I have all my clothes and possessions, I have a job to return to on Monday. I am blessed to be able to get on this computer in the middle of the night and be worried about eating too much food and my treadmill collecting dust. How lucky we are! I am very grateful for all of you to have an escape. You all lift me up with your positive spirits.

    Sushi - thanks for checking in - we miss you! We are so happy to hear you have been getting good sleep. Keep your chin up - I know how you feel. This is a cakewalk and as my mom always says "this too shall pass." We are here for you!

    Debi for your Saturday goals! You are soooooo awesome!

    Allie for 6 days of making your goals including 4 days of WATP! No wonder you are so close to your goal - consistency is the key - you are great example to us all.

    Well, I will check in later - I have a full day of completing the shed project and hopefully working on the DD closet project and then cleaning my construction dust/tools/remodeling material ridden house for a staff retreat I am hosting on Monday

    Have a blessed Sunday!
  • Allie, way to go for making your goals. You're doing great [Keep up the good work! ]

    mscat, I hope you get to feeling better soon [and can get rid of some of that stress] ...

    I just want you to know that you help to encourage us so much too and I know I appreciate it and am sure that everyone else does as well.

    Sheesh - it sounds like you're sure a busy lady with the shed project, helping your daughter and then hosting a retreat on top of that!

    Bonnie, I am so sorry that you've been having to go through everything that you have.

    Bless your heart for coming here and thinking of us with all you have going on. ((HUGS)) Please keep us posted on your brother and if you ever need to talk ... know that we're here for you.

    And way to go with getting a 50 minute walk in too.

    Well - gotta get for now but I wanted to let ya all know that I made my goals for today as well.

    1. Walked 25 flights of stairs.
    2. Drank 5 cups of water.


    I am so thankful to be here with you all.

    Love,

    Debi
  • Hello, it's me again

    I hardly have access to a computer, and must use the limited time well - so please forgive me, but I won't respond to other's post (for now - hopefully things will get better computer-wise soon).

    Just wanted to say that I've started my new weekly challenge. The move put me almost a full day ahead of everyone else, I think, so here it's already Monday evening.

    My challenge for this week:
    - drink at least 1.5 litres of water each day and finish it up before 6 pm (I've been bad with water the past 2-3 weeks, so I figure it's better to re-start slow!)
    - not to eat after 7 pm
    - be in bed by 9:30 pm


    Good luck to everyone with your challenges. So great to see new participants.
    I shall check again as soon as I can
  • Good luck with your goals this week, Sushi!
