Goodness! Thank you all, jolly, girlie, Pink for the birthday wishes! It hasn't been a good day so far. Things are rough and well, I don't know...I haven't had a birthday like this in a while...:cry: But all your wishes are making me feel a little better. Thanks for being there...

Good morning, all. Well, despite all the issues lately, I have been running again. I started doing a 10 week training program that combines walking and jogging until you are jogging for a full 30 minutes. Well, enough mornings I was trying to convince myself to not run, that it ticked me off and I would jump ahead in the program. This morning, I marked off 3 miles to run. YIKES :fr: I was only averaging a 12 minute mile, and hit the wall at 2.8 miles. Boy do I have work to do.

Well, here's to my first day back on challenge. Have a wonderful day all, and talk later. :wave:

happy birthday red!!! hope that you had a wonderful day.
(sorry that i have not figured out how to do all the cute stuff yet)

HAPPY BALLOONDAY RED!!!

Cheer up, old girl, and think clear skies and bluebirds of happiness. :hug:

(And by the way, sorry to disappoint, but I like the avatar even more now I know its state of mind. ;) )

Happy Birthday RED!
Wish you all of the HAPPINESS in the world!

Sorry I am a little late... I promised i would visit the thread yesterday but didnt!

Now I am back!

Since I am back I wanna to share some before/after pics!

Way to go, Rebeca. Aren't you looking great! Keep up the good work.

I met my challenges for today. Day 1, complete.

Everyone, have a wonderful evening :wave:

just a touch and go for me right now.
10 days down of drinking 64 oz of water and doing 100 crunches...no pauses left which could be a problem because we are going out of town this weekend. oh well, if i have to start over, then i will start over.
keep up the good work everyone!! i hope to be able to catch up soon.

Hello all. Thank you so much for all the wonderful birthday wishes! It really was sweet of you all and made the day a whole lot better. Arigato!!

I didn't start the challenges today as planned. Finished up some of the rare birthday foods I got yesterday so I'll start soon with the challenges. I got a call from the stable saying my horse has a swollen eye, nearly shut so that is worrying me. The horse is eating and has no fever but I worry about anything and everything! :^:

**************

trob -- It sounds like your son has learned a lot watching your husband! :lol: He sounds like he has heard the problems and knows what he has to do to get around them. Would we all have such clear goals from early on! And thank you too for the birthday wishes! Hope the "touch and go" situation ends with you on top! :strong:

dj -- Yeah, trailers are nice. I remember one of those old Coleman ones that you pulled behind the car and then cranked open. We rented one when I was a kid and it was a lot of fun. Of course, it is mostly just for sleeping as there isn't much room in it but it was still fun. It must be nice to have a big one.

jolly -- Hello there and glad to have you back and with two new challenges. Wow, a level 1 for the evil soda! I know you can do it! Good luck on that running! :yes:

Shad -- Thank you for the wonderful balloons, kitten and birthday wishes! They were beautiful.

carla -- Good to see you and thank you! The day got a bit better yesterday after my last post. I went to the party and the people were so sweet. I had a ton of the brew and then taxied off to work and hooked up with the drinking coworkers and only got home this morning after 6 a.m. God, that's my second all-nighter this week! Going to have to rein it in, eh? I knew you'd like the avatar more, but I admit that I do too now that I know its background. When I said before that it wouldn't be staying I hadn't known anything about it. Now I realize it's a little prankster and that IS like me... :lol3:

Rebeca -- Thank you! and thank you for coming in and saying heh. You look fantastic! You're really a beautiful girl. Keep up the good work. Not far to goal now, is it?

Red- You are absolutally right, the ballon has your personality! Thank you, you are too kind! 20lbs away still a good bit but slowly we get there dont we?
I missed you while i was on my 21 day vacation. ehheh!

hi all,
it seems like this thread is what i need to get me motivated to establish new habits, so i hope you don't mind if i jump in.
i've been off the wagon for some months now and i have gained 5 pounds of the 15 pounds that i've lost since i started dieting (yet again) in january.
i started exercising again yesterday, so i'm on day 2 on my daily exercise challenge which will be a level 3.

i will start my other challenges on sunday because i have to attend a party on saturday.

have a nice day everyone.

Hey y'all. Well, day 2 both challenges met . . . at least technically. REally wasn't making healthy choices, but I met the parameters of my challenge. I just have to remind myself that I have to start out small again, to get back to where I was before I lost focus.

I also took a nap this mroning instead of working out. Felt really good after so :?: I run again in the morning.

Have a great day all. Good luck with your horse, REd. I know how worrisome that can be.

still goofing off...

Hello everyone! :wave: I still haven't started anew, but I am not doing too badly either. Staying away from sugar and just did my crunches. There's so much going on that I think I may do like jolly and take it easy on the official challenges, but ratchet up the difficulty when I can. I've been doing way too much drinking! :nono:

I'll start them all tomorrow, even though I have done them today..some of them...it's sooo hot here. Officially the temperature was just under 38 C but on the pavement it was 47! Let's see, that's just under 100 and 117 degrees Fahrenheit! :beach:

**************

jolly -- Thanks about the horse. Her eye looked much, much better. There was just a bit of swelling of the lower eyelid. She seemed kind of lethargic so I just did a bit of easy work. It was so hot too. I hear you on the starting out small. That's good. It keeps you reined in. Keep up the good work! :cp: And great running! :yes:

arathi -- Hello there! Welcome! :welcome3: I hope to see lots of you. Good luck! :goodluck:

Good morning all. Just had to pop in as I slime all over my desk. I did my run this morning (OK, where is the smilie for dripping with sweat???). I managed to complete the whole 3 mile loop today - partially due to some divine inspiration. As I hit the last 1/2 mile, I got passed by a particularly fine looking pair of buns. Even though I couldn't keep up with him, it did inspire me to keep going. My time was slower today by a bit, but no more than I expect due to not working out and eating poorly yesterday.

I am glad your horse is starting to do better, Red. I want to start kicking butt again on my challenges, but I know I was having some serious mental blocks with things, even before my dog got sick. So, I know I have to get some success with small challenges, and start building up my healthy habits again, so I can keep going.

Have a wonderful day all. Welcome, Arathi. Talk to you all tonight :wave:
