Hi ladies. I am so sorry I have been mia for a bit. I hope to catch up with you all soon. I am ok. I have tried to stay on target while i have been mia and my progress is a loss of 10 tatol since I have started. I hope to catch up with you guys soon. take care

So how did everyone's first day go on the challenge. Here better than I thought. I drank all of my water, went swimming and logged all my eats. I am making a conscious effort to not think about eating all the time. I am heading to Subway for lunch, having a salad. Well I just wanted to check in to see how the day went. Stay focused and we can all do this. Good Luck to everyone.

Good to hear Amanda. Way to go on the drinking and the eating plan for the challenge. I know you will rock with this whole thing. Are you counting down the days until your big concert and big debut...you go girl!!! Where's the new avatar?

Regina,,,good for you! Are you planning in advance your meals?

Amanda,,,ya know I must be dazed and confused...but man girl you have lost alot of weight! All i can say is I am down right can't help it, but being your friend and all you will understand ...I am jealous! You should be so proud of yourself!

Well my first day was pretty good,,,second day could of been better,,,should of planned ahead. Need to eat cleaner.
Tomorrows big plan is to grocery shop,,,and plant my flowers. Im so far behind. Anywho need to get to bed...this parenting thing is harsh some days...totally forgot that I had to be at Tanner's (13yr son) band concert at 6...should of read the news letter...me bad.
night all

Good morning sistas!

Amanda- Sorry to hear about your day thus far at work, good for you in regards to keeping your options open. I know for me I had to..... I was far past wanting to go to work each day. I can't seem to understand why people are placed in a supervisory role when they aren't willing to make a management call. Why be in that position then. Anyway GOOD LUCK on your search for a new job Amanda. There is a match for you out there.

Well I am due to go to work today at 12:00, its my short day since I work this coming Saturday. Only 4 more days until I am gone...can I get a WHOO-HOO!

Yesterday was a good one. We all went to the movies last night and saw "Over the Hedge" too cute, anyway I made some popcorn at home and took it with me. I bought a SF candy made by Russell Stover's to have the chocolate in my system, I like to eat chocolate with popcorn and I had a diet coke. Then for dinner I had a cup of pasta and some water. I was so proud of myself. I did consume all of my water for the day. I bought a container that holds 64 ozs of water. I found it at a Dollar Tree. So no excuses, but I wish I had a port-a-potty by me so I don't have to my co-workers relieve me. Anyway things are going good.

Angie you asked if I plan my meals, I try to but sometimes I wing it. I do keep my WW materials with me everyday though so I can look back.

Well let me go and start getting ready for work. I'll talk to you all later. Good Luck my little chick-a-dees.

TURBO JAM IS THE BEST EVER! I LOVE IT!!! IT IS FOR LOW OR HIGH IMPACT WORKOUTS THAT COMBINE THE PUNCHES OF TAE-BO WITH MUSIC THAT IS CURRENT AND NICE TO LISTEN TOO. THE HOST, CHAYLENE JOHNSON, IS REALLY MOTIVATING WHICH IS WIERD FOR ME CUZ I HAVE WATCHED THESE WORKOUTS FOR SOMETIME NOW AND WHEN SHE TELLS ME TO PUSH MYSELF I REALLY WANT TO!

ANYWHO YOU CAN ORDER IT FROM BEACHBODY.COM OR THRU THE INFOMERCIAL LATE AT NIGHT.. ALSO CHECK OUT QVC, IT WAS ON THERE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
