    Not bad considering I feel like crap, only worked out 1 day this week and have been eating chocolate cake to make myself feel better. (Its was the only thing that was appealing to me.)

    I now have bronchitis and started antibiotics yesterday so I am hoping to feel better soon. I am sooooo tired right now. :yawn: Ok I am done whining.

    I jumped rope for a total of 6 minutes. Couldn't get more than 30 seconds straight. I didn't know I was such a spaz. Can't remeber the last time I tried to jump rope? It makes me wonder what else I can't do that I used to be able to do. :ohwell: Great Challenge!!! I'll work on it:embarassed:

    Hey, I'm Myschelle. I have three teen boys (18, 17, & 15) and two teen step-daughters (16 & 13). I work as a social worker/home visitor with pregnant women and children under five. I spend A LOT of time in my car driving from one visit to another. I also have a lot of sedetary hopies (scrapbooking/crafting, fb, etc). I have three dogs, who all need to be walked....Lord, let that be some sort of motivation, as they ALSO need to drop a few pounds. So here we go.....:wink:

    goal weight: 210 <---a goal that I have been trying to reach for a LONG time...have had a lot of up and down on the scale lately.
    (My ultimate goal weight is 110...so this goal would just get me within the 100 lb. to lose range instead of 100+ lbs to lose...)

    Good start for me. Lost the two pounds I gained after V-day challenge and 3 more for good measure. Howevr, this what I usually do - start off with a bang then end with a whimper. This time I'm going to try to have a loss each week. One down seven to go:wink:
