[quote=freakybella]ok please bear with me lol im such a "newbie" on message boards.. first order of buisenss (im also a horrible speller) i was laughing so hard at the excerise before hand... TO TAY I AM NOT A SLACKER! she has known me since i was 13 ish lol also going comando and running isnt as hard as u would think not so much chafage but my face and my butt seemed to match in color for quite a while
But i did it dang it day two complete
hey do i get bouns day for the embarressment factor
and yes we've known each other for 8 years now !!! man i miss some of those old day moments, we had some good times !! and you were 14
ok sooo day two is complete and I am still drinking... 84.5 oz and counting !!!
and you were only slacking because ya didnt get over here and post
ETA: adding an extra bottle at school helped... yesturday i had two bottles at school and the rest after i got home and it was hard getting them all in... so today i took 3 to school and got all 3 drained before i got home... that helped... i'm not a big drinker, usualy i would buy a 20oz diet mt dew when i got to school at 8 and still have part of it when i got home at 2, so this is a big feat for me to drink this much
well I burned calories laughing. Commando running . . . I don't know. I know a few folks who have done commando horse riding - and of course their breeches broke at the wrong time . . .
OK. So now I understand food porn and pause days. So I take a pause day for the caffeine for yesterday, and still need to come up with a new goal on avoiding the food porn. That really is an apt phrase, with the amount of fantasizing I do about chocolate. or Vin Diesel. . . . or Vin Diesel with chocolate . . . . . Wait, sorry - what was I saying.
Anyway. Have a good one all. Will check in tomorrow.
still working onn the water - 36 oz to go.... I'll get it down darnit - I don't care if I pee all night! I'm waiting for the boyfriend to come downstairs so he can refill my water bottle - I have managed to screw up my knees royally....I hope I've just gotten a little overzealous with the exercise - I basically went from the occasional leisurely walk to hockey four nights a week and a temper-tantrum that involved an exercise bike. Now I can't go up or down stairs and I have to be very careful how I walk because of the pain it causes my knees. I'm currently sitting on my couch with ice packs on both of them, hoping against hope that they get better by next week so I can play in the playoffs...how sad is that? I just want my knees to get better so I don't miss the big game in the chubby nerds hockey league! You'd think I'd be concerned about my overall health and what this could mean for it - and I am, in an abstract sort of way- but mostly I just don't want to miss the playoffs!! C'mon coach! put me in put me in!!! I can play, I swear! *hobble hobble hobble* It's like being in high school again, when I wanted to keep playing even when I was bleeding. Ahhwell...we'll see. Right now I'm going to go chugalug more water and contemplate the coming weekend....
This weekend is official anniversary romance adventure - postponed from last weekend. *foodporn* *foodporn* *foodporn* *foodporn* I have no intention of counting calories for the whole weekend - I did, however, request that we have a hotel with a fitness center so I can get my workouts in (although I'll have to figure out how I'm going to do that with these knees...I don't want to make them worse...maybe I'll beg for an indoor pool, instead - that way I can swim...yeah! that's it! swimming!), and I will be staying on the water challenge wagon for the weekend. But ohhhh the *foodporn*.
Shower, then off too the airport to pick up son and g/f. It seems the plane is delayed 1/2 hour. 10.15 arrival time. Hope the car knows it's way to the airport and back. That's past my bedtime
Well, I just did the crunches plus, so this makes Day 3 done! Hurrah, all three challenges, as long as I write up everything I eat today, which I will. I even resisted a trip to Tullys and did not buy cafe latte, though I did a run for someone else. Way to go, me!
chai -- Hurrah for Day 16 done! And what's this?! anniversary romance weekend?! You lucky dog! But how are you going to enjoy it with ice packs on your knees. Hope you're better by then!
jolly -- you still haven't come up with an idea for a doable challenge?! Sound like me till a few days ago. A hand on the caffeine though.
curly -- Back in that tree and swinging!!
Tay -- Good for you, down with two! Good going with the planning. As for cellulite, they say that it's basically a circulation problem, meaning the junk in your body is not getting flushed out, mostly due to lack of intense, sweating exercise and real heart-building stuff. It's not so much about fat. A lot of super skinny Japanese girls have it. I just watched something on TV and this is what the doctors were saying. I get a lot of exercise and only have a little bit of it but it's only visible when I squeeze the skin a lot. I think I have regular exercise to thank. You can get in the habit too. It really does get easier.
freaky -- You're doing fine. We're just having fun with you. I'm very proud of you for getting up and running, clothes falling off or not. I mean, like, really, who cares!?! Just be sure and check the local laws and regulations on public exposure, just how much is allowed and how much not! And sorry, no bonus days for embarrassment. I bet you enjoyed it anyway!! You know what, I didn't even know what "going commando" meant. You see how out of it I am being over here so long? It wasn't until people were using it that it dawned on me that it might be a slang expression. I googled it and sure enough, it was there! Ok, got you now, now I understand the allusions to chafing and such. Really! a learning experience!
Sushi -- There you are! Where have you been? Not happy with the No. 2 challenge, you say? Is that the thighs and abs one? If it's not showing results then up the intensity if you can. I know my ab challenge, 10 sets of 20, really made me stronger. Go longer with each set. Go for the burn!
marble -- thank you! The "voice of sanity," eh?! Maybe the voice is sane, but not she who rarely heeds it! Hope you're feeling better, but keep up the good work! Go for more compliments while you can get them. After that will come the jealous digs.

Shad -- Just saw your post now after I typed the other. Good for you for sticking to the challenges! Have a safe trip. Hope things are less hectic for you. I just got two cats to the vet. Talk about hectic....
MEOW, MEOW Red......my old jeans are falling off my butt right outta the dryer!
Day #9
36 mins. of wts. & Cardio.....(hard cardio total of 12 mins.)....my next step is to increase the cardio in hopes of removing the fat layer, so far I've topped out at 15 mins. of high intensity in short segments...I'll add more segments or make the others longer in duration.
Hey I am new here and I like your attitudes! I would like to join in on the challenge! I guess the protocall is to just pick one ane stick with it? Well here it is ( I have a few I would like to try).
Challenge #1- Drink- 135 oz of water ( is that to much or to little) I dont know?
Challenge #2- walk 30 min each day on my lunch break and 1 hour on the weekends.
I will try these for now, hopefully they help. I cannot wait to get to know you all..... introductions!!!!!!! Please message me and tell me a little about yourself..... what your challenges are/ have been doing. How much weight you have lost, what works for you and most importantly what was the turning point in your life that made you look at yourself and go...." this is out of control and something has to change !"
I know my turning point was looking at pictures of myself at my sister in laws wedding. She wears a size 5 and I looked like two of her put together in my size 22 pants!.... out of control!!!!!
First off, a great big HOORAY for everyone!! We so rock!
I am having the weirdest soup for lunch – it’s chicken and rice but it’s like the cafeteria people didn’t have quite enough of the real chicken and rice soup so they just dumped a big bag of frozen mixed veg in it and used milk instead of water…it’s not bad – it’s just not what I normally think of as “chicken and rice soup” I’m going to have to be careful today and not binge in the midafternoon as this is a pretty small lunch by my standards – soup and mixed fruit – I’m not being weird and obsessive there just wasn’t anything that looked appetizing other than the soup and the fruit. Maybe I’ll stop at my favorite café on the way home and get yet another cup of soup – they have the best soup on the planet and it’s all nice and healthy – sometimes it’s even vegan!
Shad – hope you made it back from the airport safe!!! You never can trust those cars and their sense of direction – they’re tricksy!
Red – YAAY!! Day 3 woot! And you made a latte run for someone else?! That takes resolve!
Freaky – I wouldn’t worry too much about the cellulite – pretty much everyone has at least some and it will get less and less noticeable as the weight comes off.
FishWoman – way to go! First step is always the hardest!
Marble – I can’t wait until my pants fall off right out of the dryer! Congratulations!
NewYear - If you scroll up to the beginning of the thread, you can see Red's rules for 21 day challenges, but you've got the basic gist of it. You have stumbled onto a thread full of crazy women, I should warn you we've got everything from public nudity to self-navigating automobiles here. They're also the most supportive and motivated bunch of folks I have met so far on 3fc - I am inspired every day to keep going a)for myself and b) because I don't want to have to go online and admit to this bunch that I fell off the wagon!!! Believe me, some days all that keeps me clinging to the wagon is these guys! Welcome welcome!
Ok, day one on the writing-it-all-down and then reviewing it in the morning...
...and I've written down all that I've eaten for today, too.
A big change for me is that since I'm now -active- for 8 hours a day while at work (on my feet, walking, running) I don't really know how many calories I should be getting. So I have just been writing down what kind of food I eat (chicken fried rice made with brown rice and chicken breasts, very light on the added oil -- homemade) but not really the amounts. I need to get used to eating enough so that I don't -die- until I balance out all of this walking/running!!
Day 3 done!
And what's this?! anniversary romance weekend?! You lucky dog! But how are you going to enjoy it with ice packs on your knees. Hope you're better by then!
