Sweet, you can do a level 3 exercise challenge, taking one day off a week. Now I'm no example, I rarely post and am being a very bad girl re food and moving, :o but I can smell a bad excuse a mile away... (Usually Red :coach: is the one to do the public whipping, but hey, here I am into the breach...)
Hi all. :wave: Still not ready to be here all the time. But I'm still hanging around, on the perimeter. :D |
I am done! Last night I finished both of my challenges (no leftovers and no knuckle-cracking)!
|
Good morning all. Congrats, Teatree, on finishing your challenges. :cheer: :cheer: Way to go. So, what's next?? Welcome Rebeca, and good luck with your challenges. Sweet Pea, let's you and I get back in the game.
Holiday weekend is done. No more excuses. 5 days straight of pretty much partying pretty much did me in. Back to business today. Though, I have to say, the funny thing is that I had 5 days off and didn't get to sleep in any of them. I only missed one day of working out. But the food was awful. And alcohol. So, I restart my challenges now. 1) follow menu and stay under 2000 calories. I WILL plan well, and not get scared off by a number. 2) no soda 3) do some ab/core work at home daily. All will be a level 3 at this point. I just need to complete these challenges well, and get back in the groove. It is tough, as I know #1 will need a pause day Saturday - I have a get together with my friends. We eat out, and usually not at a place where I can get a calorie count. I will try to eat sensibly though anyway. Have a wonderful day all, and let's do this!!! |
Waving hi to everyone. Computer access is a problem right now, so I can't drop by often or post much... gosh, how I can't wait to have my computer back! Not till September though.
Anyhow, my "no food after 7 pm" challenge is still going strong, I'm on Day 11 or 10 or 9 - can't tell for sure since I still can't remember when I started. I want to start another challenge, something exercise-related, but I've been feeling very laaaaaaaaaazy and non-committional (is there a word like that?), so I don't think I could get through 21 days, and I don't want to set myself up for a failure... Maybe a challenge is just what I need to snap out of this, but then I really doubt that would work... |
still zero binge free days to report. still working on that hurdle :)
carla - haha on the excuses. i guess i just felt it was cheating to call it a level 3 challenge and take a day off per week for exercising when it's not as much of a challenge as my binge free challenge. perhaps i am making life too difficult for myself? i will decide tmrw. today is nearly over so i will think overnight. the binge free is totally discouraging as i haven't even got 1 day under my belt myown - that is a gorgeous avatar. where did you get it. i totally love it lol |
Double whammy!!!! WHOOOHAHHHH!!!!
BRAVO :cb: :cb: teatree!! :hat: :hat:
Congratulations on completing your :eek: TWO :eek: challenges!!! :D :D :D |
Ohhh the Horror!!!!
*slinky back to the group with head hung in shame*
Well I blew it on all my challenges:cry: but thats okay, I will get back up, dust myself off and start again because I am no longer a quiter!!!! So back to challenge day #1 for me on all three of my challenges, sorry redI know you were hoping for better news from me. Maybe with you jumping in for a challenge we might get a little more motivated ;) sweet....glad to hear you poured out the rest of the wine, I was hoping you would. Good luck with your coming challenge. As for the Avatar, I thought it was cute too and I found it at this great avatar website called the Avatarist, I don't know if I can post the link but here it is so I hope it doesn't get removed. http://www.avatarist.com/ They have thousands of avatars! sushi....good work on your challenge and :drill: GET OFF THAT LAZY KEESTER AND WORK..WORK..WORK!!! :o Oh..... sorry..... I don't know what came over me there ;) and yes there is a word like that, it is noncommittal. jolly...good luck with the challenges, I can be the queen of excuses, at least that's what my husband tells me so I am also saying no more excuses and just get the job done!! teatree...WOW that is fantastic what a woman :dance: you must be so happy with yourself, good work!! Rebeca :welcome3: good luck with your challenges....I so hear you on the hating exercise for I feel the exact same way, infact I hate all things diet and exercise related :o How bad am I!!! carla :wave: Hi will look forward to getting to know you once you dive back in! red, mind if I join you with your crunch challenge, I thought maybe I would change the bike challenge and join you. Crunches is something I can do with all the kids around and doesn't take me out of the house. I have a very hard time getting 'child free time' ktgk, I think I might end up being the queen of starting over which goes great with the crown of excuses :o Anyway must be off I have 4 kids to feed and times a tickin' , OH KNOW :eek: Joseph my 21 month old son just took off his clothes and diaper and peed on the floor.....oh well better number 1 then number 2 I guess :) Talk to you all later. |
Day 2 -- I am through!
Hi everyone! How are you all doing? :listen: I hope things are fine out there in challenge land! :crazy: I just got down on the floor and did my crunches. Had to fight falling asleep, but I did 'em....just kidding..on the falling asleep part, that is! Day 2 in my pocket!!! Knock 'em dead!!!
************** sweet pea -- carla is right. She sniffed (snuffed?) out that excuse like a hound dog! :spin: And now hear this! :coach: I want you to stop making excuses and filling up your posts with all this negativity. Shudder! Ugh! :stress: Pick something simple and do it!! I want to see you counting up the days! Those sticky mitts on the alcohol at the shops. You don't stand there nipping at the bottles, do you? I just had this really bizarre picture in my head...or was it a picture in my bizarre head..:?:...anyhow....of you standing in the aisle unscrewing bottles and sipping from them, putting them back and then circling the aisle and coming back for another bottle. Hmmm..sounds like something I'd do...:lol3: Well, I don't know if I want to do alcohol-free actually. If you can, then I won't. It'd have to be as hard for you as it was for me.....anyhow, just get something going, ok? Sushi -- Excellent! Good work on the foodless evenings! :cp: Hope you get that computer soon! :yes: jolly -- "Five days straight of ....partying!!!" :hat: Wow! Even I wouldn't do that! Rockin' steady! :dancer: Well, good for you for getting back on the wagon. Drag sweet pea up there with you! Good luck! :goodluck: carla -- Thanks for stopping in! Got some photos of Momo. Speaking of whom, I saved a mouse from her yesterday. :mouse: Heard this little frantic squeaking, go outside and see her batting the poor little thing around. I distracted her and it ran off. Then a toad hopped over, but she wasn't interested in that. Photos on way soon. Just have to get them into the computer. Hang on! Rebeca -- Laziness is NOT permitted here! :nono: I will have to put that in the guidelines! ;) Bravo on your week done, but hasn't that number stayed there now for a couple days?! :dunno: I don't know, maybe it's just me, all screwed up over here on the other side of the planet. Remember, you have to count every day of the calendar, not just your days notched, got it?! And, oh, please, it's "waist down" NOT "waste down." I just couldn't let that one go! But don't you mind me, okay? I just had to do it for carla! :rofl: Ok, what's with the not enough water on weekends? Are you out in the desert or something?! You can always chug it! ....not a medical condition or something, is it? ...you never know....hmm. :?: Did you get that cardioblast done? Sounds tough! kt -- "challenges on top of page 22??" Remember, pages are different for everyone...wow! five different challenges?! Well, what can I say?! :shrug: Good luck!!!! :dance: Saboteur -- No shame!! It's ok to slip up. We restart all the time. But, it does feel good to hit 21...right teatree?! Good for you though for getting right back on track! :yes: That's what matters. No excuses. Just jump in. Yes, please, join me on the crunches! I definitely feel the difference when I do them. It's a great feeling! |
Good Morning-
Red- Thanks for the butt kicking! From now on i love exercise and I am close to meet one of my personal goals! I set a goal of 620min of exercise per month and now i only need to do 100! I dont leave in the desert so i have no excuse not to drink water on the weekends, but I am from brazil and thats how typos happens all the time! I have only been in the us for about 5 years! Monica- Thanks for the welcoming! Glad I am not the only one that drags but behind to the gym sometimes! Hey lets get going girl!!! 1) Exercise daily (at least 20 min) 8 days done! LEVEL 2 2) Drink 64oz of water (at least) 8 days done! LEVEL 2 NOTE: I started my challenge before coming to the board! I got 90 min of exercise since yesterday! 20 min threadmill 10streching (includes 50 crunches) with yoga ball and 60 aerobics this morning! 100 to go for my 620 min of exercising for May! |
Hey all. Well, got back to the gym today. ( Actually only missed one day of working out. The gym was closed Monday so I biked). Our trainer kicked our butts - hurray! And, despite the long weekend, I only gained 1 pound, which is pretty good all things considered. Here's to a better week.
Red, I had to laugh at saving the mouse from your horse. I saw a cow going after a cat the other day. The cow looked like it was having so much fun. The cat? Not so much. Rebeca, where are you from in Brazil? Are you originally from there? I have cousins down there. Everyone else, get back on the wagon. Let's have some success! We can do this - excuses only hold you back. Have a great day all. :wave: |
Jolly- I am from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais (estate)!
Where are your cousins from? |
Well, I'm back, kinda. I do have computer access but it's not easy access. We are STILL doing our floors and probably will be for some time. We are also headed to California next week, so we probably won't finish the floors until after we get back.
I have not had time to go back through all the posts to catch up with you. I will soon hopefully. :welcome: Rebecca - good luck with your challenges! As far as my challenges: donuts I've been good with except 1 day. I think that makes 2 pause days, however, I have no idea right now what day I'm on! I will read back as soon as I can to figure that out. The deficit challenge is history though. With no computer to access my fitday on, and being so busy tearing out carpeting and linoleum, and laying our new floor, I just have not counted even 1 calorie! I also have no idea what my calories burned are. Anyways, I am not going to re-start that challenge. Since we're going to California next week, there is no use in it. When we get back, I'll start something new. :bravo: teatree on your challenges! Everyone else, hope you're doing good. Catch up with you next time I manage to hook my modem up! :wave: |
DJ, welcome back, and good luck with all your challenges. Have fun in California.
Rebeca - you would ask that. I am really not sure. They are Baptist missionaries in Brazil. I am not even sure which of the family is where. I just know it is nowhere real populated . . . I remember a picture sent when we were kids, of all 7 kids plus parents stretched out holding the snake skin they got from the snake under their house!!! :fr: I will have to check with Mom, she would know all the dets. When did you move up here? |
I moved here in October 2000! I was 13 at the time and my parents just decided to pack their bags after i was robbed 3 times! My city has 16 million people so they wanted to move in the middle of nowhere! (myrtle beach?)lol

hi all
well red you can put the whip away. i decided last night i would do the exercise challenge with the 3 rest days. i have fibromyalgia so i need a rest day each week for my body to recover. anyway i need to get credit ;) i did my 21 day journaling challenge and completed that :D so take that :rofl: my challenge will be 30 mins a day but it doesn't all have to be at once. so i might do 10 mins dance + 20 mins gardening or walking or whatever. that will be a good challenge for me as it is more than i do currently i have a cold and my nose is dripping so i will come back and post properly wheni have some pills from the chemist to keep it under control monica - thanks for the link. i will go explore. i like the pix of my doggy but i fancy something cute from that avatar site |
