Sorry I didn't post last night. Was busy studying. Hate accounting, just can't grasp it!! I failed my exam... so I'm going to try and turn that around.

Anyway... yesterday was a good leg workout day. So that's 3 out of 4 down. Technically, I've succeeded with my weekly challenge... but I will try to do the fourth.

Gotta get going so sorry for no individual hi's. But I do say hello to all and keep up the good work.

Take Care
Marti

ok I did my 28 crunches so that goal is accomplished. i have journaled everday this week so far so 5 days of 7 down on that one.I have woke up at 6am 4x this week, so thats another goal accomplished. Now my plan of attck for the weekend was to be done by Thursday and it was, but I didn't have time to post it here. So here it is and if anyone has anything else they'd like to add please tell me.

1-Grocery Shop after workout Friday.
2-Make Menu Thurday
3-Use Journal everyday
4-Place journal on table at night.
5-Schedule out my days.
My mini goal is to stay O/P all weekend.

Wish me luck.

MNJ...don't give up you can do it. School is stressful for all of us just keep taggin girl.

Lisa...good for you keep it up.

Everyone else keep it up and take care.

Oh and today has been better for me so I am happy.

Hooray, Aquareggie's back!!!:D

Sandy and Southern Butterfly, let me know which bellydance tapes you get. Ooooh, this is so exciting!

Sandy, congrats on losing 3 pounds. Fabulous!!! Oh, and your mom sounds like a sweetheart.

I'm in a mild state of shock because we just bought a $2000 treadmill. We've run 4 cheapo treadmills into the ground over the last 10 years and we're stepping up. No, we can't afford it but there you are! Gotta have one and it may as well be a really good one. The prospect of paying for it makes me feel a little green.....Why couldn't they just give it to me?
:lol:

Continue on, everybody!:)

Hey everyone... Just finished my nightly pilates.. and I feel good.. after the girls go to bed, I am going to hop on the ellpitcal machine and finish off my day! :-)

Sandy:dance: :flow1:

Well, i didn't walk/jogg this morning, but i did try to drink a lot of water today (another day full of bathroom breaks). Instaedof walking, i really wanted to do some exercise, so I danced. I learned the dance steps to the song "No More" by 3lw. I love dancing to that song!. I used to know the dance steps to it, so i got my tape, played it(they had a live show of them dancing/singing to their song) and copied it. then once i got it down, i just repeated it over and over again! it was fun! not only that.. my legs are sore now.. lol

Super Saturday to all!!

Checking in quick to say another day of 28 crunches down, another 6am wake up down and my journaling is happening! The outlook for staying O/P for today is good!

Stay strong and stay focused,
Lisa
PS I'm really sore today. :)

Well guys, it was a successful week for me!! Finished the challenge and still have the weekend for extra exercises!! LOl i never thought i would say that... lol!! LISA, U GO GIRL!!!!! I am proud of u!! My plan for the weekend is to walk, eat right and drink my h2o... pretty basic... but a plan none the less!

Sandy:dance: :flow1:

Well girls, this week was successful for me. I got three days of excercises done. Four would have been nice, but my DD and I have been doing so much this weekend I thought three is good. And since I said 3-4 days.....

Anyway... we've all done a fantastic job here. And we'll all do it again on Monday!!

See you then!!

Marti

Hello again! Thanks again for all the support!

Today, i had to go to work early because i thought that i was goign to a b-day party, but ended up not going because my bf didn't want to go. That's okay though! I didn't know the person that well, just sucked that i went to work early.

As for today, i yet again had a bunch of bathroom breaks (go me, i'm almost getting the hang of drinking a lot of water) My neck is still sore, and my knees (well, above my knees) are sore! Then this evening i have never ran so much before! (well, for a long time at lest.) my friend and i decided to become exercise buddies/partners. He has been out of shape for a long time or what not and he's been wanting to get back into shape. So him and i agreed on becoming exercise partners. This evening him and I pretty much jogged, ran, walked for about a mile or so. Maybe even longer, who knows. The fun part was towards the end of our run, him and i both sprinted down our street. it was fun, but i felt like i was gonna collaps or what not. But he just kept pushing me saying "come on pia, you can do it! don't ever say you can't cuz i know you can!" So then we got back to my house, cooled down and did some "basic military exercise" together (by the way, he used to be in the military) it was hard, but i made it through! I can't wait for another day of this again(even though it was the most dificult thing i have ever done!) If it wasn't for him, i probably would have not ran or jogged for about a month after starting to exercise.

Atamata, I'd say the fact that you're looking forward to your next workout is a great sign!

We love the new treadmill! It's like going from an old junk car to a cadillac!

Assuming today goes well, my challenge will be a success. Not having ANY chocolate this week has been strange. I've had to pull myself back from the impulse a few times.

Hey, I have to think of a challenge for next week!:o You can bet it'll involve the new treadmill. Hee Hee!

Just checking in to say that I accomplished all of my challenges this week! I'm glad i knocked most of them out earlier in the week, cuz I'm not feelin' too well. :(

Have a good night,
Lisa

oh how the mighty have fallen.....

Went to work today and had to prepare food for a reception, and without thinking about it I popped some chocolate into my mouth, and this week's food challenge was all over for me! Can you believe it? On the last day too. No sunny-smiley thing for me this week. Crud!:rolleyes: :shrug: :stress: :censored:

Hope springs eternal......!
