Challenges are always good!! Here are mine:
Level One - To do something happy/relaxing everyday (for someone suffering from anxiety, this really helps with weight loss!!) Level Two - To exercise at least 30 minutes everyday. Level Three - To play with my hamster more! Sure, the last isn't diet related, but I sometimes go a couple days without checking on him much because he lives in the basement to stay away from the dog and I don't go there much!! |
I've had 3FC up since the morning, and no time to post.... here's the last-chance, last-minute post before I can't access the net. :)
Day 20 of running done yesterday, just 18 minutes but that was all I had time for. Had to fit a 60-min drive home, changing, dinner, walk, run and 15 min drive to yoga in the 2 hours between 5 and 7 pm. I was going to start a new challenge today - a food diary - but my co-workers prepared a treat for everyone. It's not stuff I normally eat and I'm not too sure how to work out the quantities, so it would not be a good day to start. Don't want to get frustrated the very first day. Welcome freedom tomorrow!!! No more work, no more commuting. And hopefully that'll mean both skating and tennis later in the week. :) Good luck everyone :grouphug: I'll drop by in a few days :) |
song is better...
Hi all. Thought I better get a post in today, though I still haven't started my challenges. I am in between and giving myself a bit of time off. Don't worry! I will be with you soon enough. I just wanted to get the thread up for you!
And, I can't believe you don't like my avatar photo! :eek: This is me, floating quietly behind my horse!! Apple! It's NOT a turkey! :stress: I very much like this picture as it is totally me, deflated YET buoyant, punched around by life's knocks YET still floating, being formless (now, that's REALLY me!! :lol:) YET bright and loud and high-profile. So, don't you all mind my new ballon. I have many of them and this is just the me out there now. But it's not a bad one, NOT negative at all! You crack me up. :dizzy: But thanks for your concern. Lord knows I can use me some of that! That reminds me of a little thing I remember when I first lived in India. I was in the country, no water but a well, electricity was iffy. It would go out at different times of the day for hours on end. Everytime it would go out the people I was staying with would look up and quietly say "Lord Sharin." I would think, cool, he must be the god of fate or something, putting up with hardship, don't get upset or swear or bothered, just accept it and carry on....it wasn't for quite a while that I realized what they were actually saying was "load sharing," which is what the country did to give various areas all a bit of electricity during the day, spread it around and "share the load!" :rofl: I liked my version better. Anyhow, you can see I am babbling although it is bedtime and I am caffeineless. Fatigue I think. Always good entertainment... :crazy: Soosh -- Looks like you are probably finishing up your challenge in silence today. I will wait to hear it from you on your next post to congratulate you! You sure sounded busy. Hope the freedom is well enjoyed. Skating! Tennis! Hoorah! :dancer: less -- :welcome: Now, I suppose I didn't actually specify that challenges had to be weight loss related, even if it was a stretch...but playing with your hamster?!?! :?: I am baffled beyond words...almost. Now, I suppose that not taking care of your hamster...you ARE feeding the poor thing, aren't you? and giving it water? and cleaning its cage??!....I suppose that not playing with it is stressing you out and you are overeating...is that right? :lol: Okay, maybe you better not answer that...good luck! jolly -- Yo joll!! You're rockin'! You keep out of that dumpster. Nothing good down there anyhow. As for me, I despise chocolate. I think it's the grossest stuff to have ever been invented. ;) Really, really don't know what all the fuss is about. Now, when I get a craving for something, it's usually celery or radishes. Oh, yum! ....now if you believe that..... :lol3: How is your challenge, jolly? You still hanging in there? I always liked this book...Barbara something I think it was...big thick calorie counter...guide to brand-names or something...check on amazon, they probably still put it out. tia -- Hello! :wave: So glad to see you're back and that the kids are OK! Missed you lots! You get back here with us soon, ok?! :flow1: Danzer -- Excellent! :bravo: All three challenges! You put me to shame!! Keep that challenge ship flying! curly -- Wow. colors! Beautiful! No, I'm ok with the rent free stuff these days. Other, real problems wrecking havoc...but I'll be okay. Thanks though. I will remember your saying when I AM doing that and though it's MUCH, MUCH less than earlier, I still do it occasionally. Thanks for the balloon. It's nice and pumped but I like to keep my byline off things. :lol: Thank you though, I may use it on my computer at home...yes, the left one...I live in the Land of Cute and I have reached saturation point....you wouldn't believe it. I used to sleep with about 50 stuffed animals when I was a kid, but I couldn't stand to have one around now....but do have four REAL cats sleeping with me now... :cp: A big hand for your Day 4 done! Stellar! Trixie -- Ok, no pop it is! Good luck. You can do it. What level are you making this? carla -- Congrats on Day 19. Almost there! :cheer: Thank you for mentioning the level thing. I was wondering about it too. Perhaps the "levels" have been misinterpreted. Heh, what's wrong with being driven to drink?!...I mean, it's better than having to try to walk or take the bus, right?! :shrug: Rosario -- :welcome3: Ditto my chocolate response to jolly. And no more swarming gushy stuff about your choco and coke! :nono: CBETA will teach you how to do it...out! out! banished from sight and mind! You HATE the stuff! :barf: No really. Good luck! Ap -- Good to see you! I was hoping we hadn't lost you. Now we got hamsters in the cellar and you scooping out the goldfish? Wow. You know they pop 'em down live here too! :sumo: JCT -- I like my avatar but I don't want you to get out your Momma Voice! :eek: :lol: Yes, your chilluns are adorable!! You're taking on a whole lot this time...and it's about time! I want to see great things out of you, girl! :flame: angel -- another colorful one! :) Glad to see you'll be popping in more often! :yes: Tell me, homework? are you still in school? college? Good night all! I got a call to go in to work tomorrow and jumped at the chance for the extra shift...but, that means that I should get to the gym early....wish me luck! :comp: |
Good morning all. Day 2 of vacation here. Of course, I still have to go in to work for a meeting, and I get part one of a root canal today. How much fun can a girl have? Of course, with the teeth thing, overeating should NOT be an issue.
Red - like the avatar. I will check out Amazon too for books. I want to keep moving forward, even though taking those pause days has really slowed my progress. I really think i will need to limit the "healthy" sugar free :censored: substitutes. While they themselves are healthy, it keeps me craving the real thing. Everyone else, I will check back in later, and see if I met my challenges for the day. Hope to hear from you all too :wave: |
Good Morning All
Rosario - :welcome3: Your challenges sound good. :goodluck: Trixie - No pop challenge sounds good. I think i'm gonna take that one next time around. Less - :welcome: Good luck with your challenges. Especially with the hamster one. Hamsters need love too.:hug: Red - Yup homework:fr: I go to college part time. Jolly - Good luck at the dentist:hug:, Lord knows I hate them. Well i'm off to take my dog for a walk. Cya Later:angel: |
but I thought it was a turkey too????
Carla insisted that I return....tail between my legs....she's a slave-driver! Day 1--exercise level 1 13 mins. of interval training, sigh! |
HI! Day 4 on exercise is done. Already I have to restart the goldfish (feeders are real cheap at the pet store:lol: )challenge. I had a tiny bit leftover from our road trip Saturday and rather than throw them out I ate them with out thinking. Mindless consumption.:nono: So I will also start a new beer challenge today.
Red, thanks for posting an explanation of your avatar. I understand now. Although I still see a crazy looking bird. Maybe I need to go to the eye doctor...Do you have a challenge yet? I don't think you've posted one yet, unless I missed something. Sushi, I am awaiting news of your running challenge completed!!:cp: :cp: :cp: Lessthan- I like your hamster challenge! Just run up and down the stairs a few extra times and it's exercise too! I should start a dog walk challenge, more for them than for me. The old one doesn't get out much... Hi JCT! You have a beautiful family!! Welcome and hello to everyone else! I have a baby with a yucky nose to take care of ! Bye! |
ok, why isn't my new tracker showing up? hmmm?
|
Hey everyone! Today is my day one on the 21 day plan! I had such a good post that I had worked up yesterday, but it got deleted, so just letting you all know.. I'm up for the challenge!!!!! :cheer: Here are my 3 levels:
Level 1- No non-diet soda Level 2- No candy or desserts Level 3- No eating after 8pm... geez that will be hard for me :) :) :) I hope all you are doing great, it really looks like you all are!! I look forward to keeping in touch with all of you! Sincerely, Jen February 21, 2006- Day 1 |
Good morning. Am waking up here, Wednesday...going to get this butt to the gym. Do not feel good though. Not much sleep because of crazy cats. Now they are sleeping..
jen -- Welcome. Your challenges sound hard. I am wondering, like carla mentioned, if you perhaps think you HAVE to have three? Yes? No? The levels are what you decide and they are about difficulty. The challenge is not supposed to be a multi-element thing, although it can be if you like. Maybe you understand this. I am just wondering because you said "here are my 3 levels" and it sounded like you thought you had to have them. Well, good luck! marble -- You've been away so long you haven't seen the changes on 3fc I guess! Trackers now only show up for the first post of a page. Unless you're talking about the "X" under your one tracker (at least that's what I see). That could be an old tracker. A lot of them don't work anymore and you have to make new ones. Well, I don't know how you people see turkeys in these things. Long nose, ears, eyelashes...I will have to post a turkey picture...now, the beast in the avatar could be a Great Dane...I'll give you that. I saw one here yesterday. It was huge! Talked with the owner. They are my state dog. Anyhow, marble, I am glad to see you back and that carla is on your case! :yes: Apple -- No, I don't have a challenge yet. I am taking time off but wanted to be here for the rest of you. The last thing on my mind right now is challenges and I really would not be here at all if it weren't for keeping the thread going. Things are busy..a lot of stuff going down...I just don't talk about it here...but will be doing something real soon! ;) Good going on the exercise! :cp: Goldfish and beer. Sound like they go hand in hand. :goodluck: angel -- Hi there! How are your challenges going or did you just pop in to say heh? :hug: jolly -- Root canals are a blast! You lucky duck! :lol: I agree with the sugar subs keeping you hooked. That's why my no-sugar challenges don't allow them. Then again, there aren't many here and I won't eat aspartame and its mate, acesulfame or whatever it is. Too much bad reviews about the stuff. Glad you like my avatar! Turkey picture: |
Actually, I thought it was the Roadrunner about to be smacked in the head by a RED boxing glove......:rofl:
|
Marble..are you trying to make me feel good? :^:
|
Hey all!! Thanks for all the good wishe sand welcome.
Jolly and Red-thanks for the good advice about giving up the chocolate and coke. I've decided to just give it up cold turkey. Haven't had withdrawals yet....lol Apple-don't feel bad about seeing a weird looking bird in red's avatar. I actually see one of those characters from the Dr. Seuss books...hmmm. Good luck to everyone on their challenges!!!! 1 down-20 to go:carrot: |

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.:thanks: Red~ Yes, I've posted once in the old thread, but I was waiting for this new thread and your new guidelines. I was a veghead for more than 7 years when I was younger, back then I weighed 97lbs, so I have almost doubled my size:( so now I've been toying with the idea that being a veghead is maybe the missing link in my success to lose weight. But it have been such a looooong time ago and I know it will be really tough, so I have to take baby stepshttp://img474.imageshack.us/img474/2258/baby2xx.gif~ so I'm starting with cutting out red meat. Jessica~ "Whatever will you drink?" Well, there is water, and there is soy milk, and there is water and there is soy milk, and there is water and there is soy milk.....:crazy: Darn, what was I thinking.:?: Hey, I said no diet soda, so why not a regular soda?:shrug: nah~ I hate then, way too sweet. Seriously, I don't like beer either, but I love red wine:T :love: , so I will have red wine occasionally which is allowed in Sonoma and SBD. By the way, your avatar is great~ lovely family. It is now 11:00PM here, and I did good on my 3 challenges. I will be on my 3rd day tomorrow. Goodnight everyone. |
redballoon: i think that my challenges are ok and considering that they are called "challenges"... shouldnt they be challenging? if you have some ideas that would be better for me, than please tell me because i dont want to fail!
