Carla congratulations on your challenge. Glad things worked out for you.
I paused on WATP and water yesterday. But I have completed WATP today for day 2. I don't know if Itold you all but I am making all of my challenges level 3's. So that leaves 2 pause days on WATP and water and 3 for my food journal.

Where are you red?
Oh, I am day 3 for journaling.

yes, almost two weeks ago I twisted my left knee, to the point of having to get on crutches and limp away. Today I finally got an appointment in with an ortho...physical theraphy is next on my list. Must find one and get it pre-approved first though.

Hang in there everybody!

Keep on Truckin!

Chai, Actually no I haven't, my cycles are typically like clockwork. I can usually plan a vacation around them. However... when I got pregnant in 2004 that obviously changed with the hormones. I nurse my son full-time and so I didn't have a regular cycle until he was 10mos. That isn't normal for me though... with my daughters i was back on my schedule by 3 or 4mos. So I am just being whiney.... I liked not haveing to worry about cramps and the like.

I'm still here.. busy few days... long weekend... I'll try to post later.

no more TOM for me... just hot flashes lol

I hope you find a good PT CBETA.

Finished with all challenges for today unless I eat soemthing else, which is doubtful.

Hey Red! I love the new balloon! Paul Klee is one of my all time favorites, Probably top 5.
I have seriously been thinking about taking a break from 3FC completely, since I don't seem to have the proper motivation for it. But then I decided that I can stick to the exercise challenge at least. So I'll still be around and I'll root you guys on if I have the time and motivation
That being said, I'm debating whether or not I should restart. I'm on day 5 with 2 pause days already used up. Can I go more than 2 weeks with out missing a day? I guess I'll give it a shot.
So best wishes to all and I'll at least be lurking...

Eveningall. Days . . . oh whatever the heck i am on done. Goodday, just missed a workout. But, I have been working pretty hard this week, so I am not beating myself up over it.

Apple, we all have periods where we need more than we can give. Hang in there.

Cbeta - glad you are taking the knee seriously, and congrats on the weight.

Everyone else . . . ok, my train of thought seriously derailed. I didn't get my daily vacation nap in, so I am out of it. Have a great evening, adn talk more later.

:wave:

Glad to hear Klee's a favorite of yours, Apple. Didn't want you having any more nightmares! Heh, I'm the same as you now, seriously would like to just take a sabbatical from 3fc. It's not like I don't do anything. There is no chance of me truly ballooning up or hitting the skids on exercise, but, I do like being a part of things here and if I just ease off a little on the posting and keep to a simple challenge, I guess I can swing this too. Hope to see you here.

Thanks, others, for the avatar compliments. :thanks:

Curly, I'm with you on the hot flashes! :o

Red, LOVE the new avatar. Absolutely gorgeous!!! :love:

Heh, thanks carla!! Read about your tribulations at boot camp. Glad that got ironed it. I'm with whoever said, you pay their salaries. Get in there and make a nuisance of yourself!! :lol:

Hey Red and Carla - please stay with us. I only started in January, but it has been so motivating.... even when I am not. I just remember that there are so many other people out there that have some of the same challenges we do. I wish I could just blink my eyes and have my motivation return. But coming to this site keeps me in touch with the need to live a healthy lifestyle.

Hey, I even got back to my exercise today - but I am having trouble eating enough. Been on a plateau for 2 weeks, but you chickies keep me motivated:angel: :dance: :angel:

Used to love Klee when I was younger. Now he doesn't appeal to me as much. My all time favorite is Van Gogh. The first time I saw his paintings I had to wait in line for 2 hours. When I walked from painting to painting, I began to cry. Emotion, not sure which emotion is was, just poured out of me. Amazing that someone's art can reach you that way. Just like great ballet, great classical music, and great sex!
