Cybaby1

Hello All....I read the post before this one and I too was thinking that the interaction of this group has been minimum compared to when we first started. When I first started this challenge, I knew it would be a difficult feat for someone like myself that hasn't been active in about 2 years since I injured my knee. I have to admit that this week was a failure for me in terms of my eating....and I barely got my activities in every day. However, I made a promise to myself that I must change and I am doing it. I realize that others may have fallen off and decided not to log in, but I hope if they read this, I hope they realize it's ok if they haven't moved on some days..This is a LIFETIME change....Not a fad....We are indeed human. Life is happening...kids get sick...husbands and wives need supper made. I get it. I just want to encourage everyone not to give up. I made this commitment and I will be here whether it's one or 25 people logging in and interacting.

I have to apologize that I haven't interacted as much except for the daily post because I'm teaching at an all day camp for children living in poverty, and I'm literally exhausted--physically, mentally and emotionally. Teaching is certainly a heart profession and teachers give out so much that we are literally feeing bankrupt..lol I find myself not wanting to communicate period. The stories and issues that my students are going through really wear me out. However, I will make the effort to interact more because I need it!!!! You all rock and even though I don't comment; I am reading and cheering you all. It makes me smile--literally when I read that you all are taking this challenge and running with it. Well, have a great day today. I will take time to go grocery shopping because seriously that's my problem...I haven't really grocery shop and when you don't do that--you tend to eat the wrong stuff. I am talking about me. Take care all

thanks for your post. huge props to you for the very important and wonderful work you do every day. i used to be a teacher and understand how it can take everything out of you - even during the times you're not physically there.

i made it to the gym today after my daughter's t-ball game and worked that elliptical. i have to work today but will take my kids and dogs for a walk, and squeeze in my squats, planks, lunges, and whatever other moves i have in me today. i have not had a very good nutrition week, either - having friends in town and being out a lot hasn't helped at all, and i'm worried that next week will also be challenging, as i'll be traveling for work. most important is that i make more good choices than bad, and that i move my body every day.

have a great weekend!

curious where u at?

My home is in AZ, but I work in Saudi Arabia. How about yourself?? It has to be someplace that gets rain (to keep you weeding! lol). AND Green...that you have weeds!!! My scenery is a dead desert...with an occasional camel or two wandering away from the camel herder! At least in AZ it is a living desert with cactus plants and mesquite trees!!!
