tofat.....this challenge started off by just that....challenging another thread called "dyp"...dump your plump. But apparently they haven't posted in awhile so who knows really. Wendy popped into their thread 'taunting' them that we would win a month challenge against them. :D

Glad everyone is doing good!!!

What did happen to those DYPers??? I guess they new they were gonna get beat right when they started!!! lol

I have a question for everyone. I was thinkin about this while working out on my elliptical machine...thanks guys....well, they say you're not supposed to wash your hair everyday..and mine is really dry, but I work out everyday and my head sweats like crazy!!! I don't know if there's something I can use or do....guess i'm destined to have dry hair for all eternity. or if you guys have any tips...please share.

Hope everyone does awesome today...let's rack up those points because there is a weekend coming up and you know how we all love to slack off during the weekend...lol

take care everyone!!!

Rosario ~ I absolutely have to wash my hair every single day because I sweat so bad when I work out. When I have the time I let my hair air dry rather than use the blowdryer and that helps with the dryness. Maybe your hairdresser would have tips for you.

I'm not doing very good on the points this week because I'm not getting to the gym with my daughter off from school all week but I plan on getting right back to the gym on Monday and racking up those points!!

I'll check in again later ladies!!

Can't help you girls as I wash my hair ....oh about 2x a week!!! Its rather short and I don't usually have a problem with sweat I guess at least not my scalp. I would suggest a really good leave on deep conditioner. Go to Sally Beauty supply (where most hairdressers shop) and ask them. I have heard about conditioners that you leave on while you sleep. Just a thought!!!

I have no idea what to use!:D I have really short hair(shorter than that pic)and I have died it 3 times in the past week!so needless to say it's pretty dry,and I have to wash everyday because I use alot of product on my hair and don't like the build up feeling(blah)I do use a product called replenising cream by garnier Fructis that is pretty good!
I have to get my butt in gear and hop on the bike first
I'll check in later!

Hi guys ~ Some of you remember Nrsldy (Sherri)....She's ready to jump aboard and join in so I've directed her to this site!!!
~ Sandra

Welcome Sherri...well, welcome when you get here! lol

I hope everybody has a kick-butt weekend. Stay strong and we will all prevail.

Rosario

Hi guys. Looks like you're all doing well. My day has been pleasant. I have long hair and sweat ALOT so I wash everyday. Plus my hair is colored so add in the dryness. I LOVE Keraphix by Nexus (They just started selling in stores, used to be salon only) It makes my hair feel silky.

I have to work all weekend but I'll try to check in when I can. Have a healthy weekend ladies!!! I'm so glad to be part of such a wonderful support group, you guys really inspire me to keep motivated. :hug:
~ Sandra

Morning all. Hope you have a wonderful Saturday! I'm off to a tea this afternoon to sell my jewelry and promote one of the shops I teach at. It'll be fun just to hang out with the shop owner for awhile regardless of sales.

I have a question/need advise. I am a church organist and we enter lent on Wednesday. This means my schedule goes into overdrive. (Mon-Thur. I'll be busy every night) I am worried on how I'll maintain the workouts/healthy eating that have in place in the less hectic months prior. What do you guys do that helps you fit it all in? Thanks in advance for the help.

I DID IT!!! :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

I've been close all week and it's finally official MY BMI SHOWS I AM NOTOVERWEIGHT.

I can't even beging to explain what this feels like!!:D

Rosario, It sounds weird, but back when I had long hair (10-15 yrs ago) I'd but olive oil on it once a month and leave it wrapped in a towel overnight. I permed the crap out of it and most people thought it was natural since the olive oil once a month really kept it moisturized. I used the Lori Davis hair care products other than the olive oil back then. Now I'm Suave all the way with short colored hair (maybe I'm just a SAHM who cuts every penny now LOL). Nett

tofat.....ahhhh, yes Lent, it is that time of year. Well my advice would be to have good healthy snacks available to eat on your way from work to church and church to home so that you don't inhale the fridge after your extra long day. Working out might be a video tape in the morning before you start your day but you're right....you need some extra plannning. Some good snacks might be, a drinkable yogurt, cheese string and pretzels, a hard boiled egg, trail mix (watch the fat gr.) a granola bar. You know....something satisfying to hold you over until you can have a meal.

Angel-eyes--Thanks for the advice. I am just so nervous about breaking some of the good habits I'v gotten used to. Just gotta take it day by day.

Doing better on the workouts...I am feeling better but we're at Disney so the food is not so hot...I am aiming for soup and salad tonight! :)

Hi Girls! I'm off to bed,early to rise tomorrow!:D

Happy Monday!
Tofat - AWESOME news about your BMI!! You go girl!!
Wendy ~ I just filled in my points for the weekend since I was working all weekend.
:carrot: I lost 1.6 pounds. Not great but not bad either, I'll take it!!
OK, off drop DD off at school and then to the gym. Talk to you later.
~ Sandra

Morning girls, wanted to wish everyone good vibes on weigh in day. I actually think I'll be pleased. I'm off to the gym to weigh, measure, and WORKOUT! I'll check back later to update my results. Have a great one.

OneLastTime-GREAT JOB ON THE WEIGHT LOSS!! Keep it up.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I did ok, not as good as I wanted. A big fat 0 for Saturday...but that didn't stop me from losing 2 lbs this week. Yay!! for me!

Sarah-I don't know if your at Disney still, but stay strong. Remember the bad food doesnt taste as good as the sweet taste of success.

Sandra-good job on the 1.6lb weight loss. keep it up and your bound to lose more.

ToFat-that's freakin awesome about your BMI. I bet it is such a wonderful feeling. Good job and keep it up.

As for everybody else, let's keep it up and keep each otehr motivated. HAve a good day girlies!

Rosario

Have to share....
 

Hi guys~
I have to share this. I had an absolute awful weekend at work. VERY stressful. (Most of you know I'm an RN and work on a locked psychiatric unit at a hospital). Anyway, both days were horrendous (SP??) BUT I found myself driving home last night thinking I wanted to go to the gym to work out my frustrations instead of going home to collapse on the couch or cry or open the bar (hee hee). Hmmmm.....maybe this workout thing could be for me afterall??

Now, I must admit I didn't go to the gym because DH & DD had dinner ready when I got home so I ate instead (healthy though) and cuddled with my family.

I was so impressed though that the thought of working out even entered my head AND sounded like a good idea. Seems like I'm headed in the right direction. ;)
~ Sandra

Good for you Sandra. You know you've made it when want to excercise to blow off some steam rather than pig out on Ben & Jerry's. It's a tough journey there and I'm glad you made it.

I could of used your willpower this week. Man troubles...ugh! I ate some things I shouldn't have because I was stressed. I hate that!!!

By the way, can someone please tell me what NSV means??? thanks

Hi Girls~

We're still at Disney I am doing good today. I walked for more than 3 hours today! ANd I had a healthy breakie and lunch too! DInner who knows but I am starving!

I can't weigh since I am away but I will WI on Thursday and see where I am.

Keep up the good work!

Rosario......NSV means....non scale victory. In other words, other things that you notice you've lost weight by. wooohooo....here's to more NSV's!!!

It seems I also had some carb trouble this weekend, thanks to TOM arriving 3 days early (whats up with that?:?: ) I was a carboholic. Today is a bright new day and so far so good.....knock wood. The temp here today is CRAZY....so warm, almost 60F that I'm going to go for a nice long walk after lunch. Gotta get those excercise pts you know!!! :D
