Hi Turtles,
That last post was from me. Maybe it was to long for a quick reply because I couldn't sign off. Anyway----
Love,

Interesting, Judy, on the goals/challenges. I tend to set goals for the week for myself, I'm a bit scared of looking too far ahead and overwhelming myself! But let's see...where's my calendar...

Halloween is about 7.5 weeks away. Jeeeeeez, is it that soon? :faint: Anyway! At the rate I lose, I should be able to be 7 pounds down by then. So that's my goal: to be at 280 by Halloween. :) To help me reach my goal, I will record my Points every day and do my walking programs every other day (I have a big paper wall calendar that I record that mileage on--with stickers!).

And speaking of, I need to get on my treadmill! :tread:

Hi Turtles,
Mousie, keep on setting your weekly goals because that's what works for you. The Halloween Challenge gives you a chance to see what meeting your weekly goals accomplishes. You're doing great and I'm so glad you're back. Your enthusiasm is catching.
Love,
Judy :cool:

This morning was weigh in and I am down a pound! So I'm down 7.5 pounds in 6 weeks. That might be slow for some people, but I'm happy about it. :)

My goals for the week are to do my treadmill/abs routine every other day, focus on diabetic diet principles, and to have 35 points/day. I'll keep my eye on the Halloween goal, too. :)

This week I averaged 34.2 points/day, mainly because I was so excited last night I came in 10 points shy! I got an email from a literary agent I wrote a query letter to, and she wants to see pages from me! :cb: :dancer: :encore: :cheer: I'm so excited! I'm set up at Panera Bread this morning, to tighten my first chapter to get ready to send off. :comp: Ohhh, so exciting!

I'm not on crack, I'm just having a really good life right now. ;)

Hi Turtles,
Mousie, :bravo: :high: :cp: weigh to go! Double success in your literary effort and your weight loss. This is incredibly fabulous. Good luck with the literary agent. I'm pulling for you!
Love,
Judy :cool:
