    if anyone wants to do a challenge this weekend, it is: TO DOUBLE YOUR CURRENT EXERCISE FOR A DAY :)
    [/quote]

    I doubled down on my Saturday workout. I'm still sore today from accumulated fatigue I think:cry: However, it is a good sore if you know what I mean. Anxious to see how it will affect Wednesday's weigh-in. My guess is -good news is coming:laugh:

    still so far away from my goal! *sigh* the swelling and extra water weight are almost gone; it is completely gone in my hands and face, but still lingering in my abdominal area. oh well, at least i am under (by a whole .6 pound - hahaha!) where i started almost 10 weeks ago. :)

    thanks everyone for joining me and have a happy easter!


    (p.s. i will post one more challenge tomorrow if anyone wants to participate in it.)
