    Well, I have not done good with the challenges of this round of Sixers :( I do see you all doing really, really well!

    I have been terrible in all aspects of my healthy living. I got pretty frustrated with all the time and effort I was putting in and not getting anything from it. I just gave up.

    Maybe if I checked in here more often I would be more motivated.

    Day 1....check in.

    B-1 egg fried in cooking spray, 1 piece Oroweat Healthful Nutty Grain bread, small amount of butter
    S- Starbucks non-fat Chai Tea Latte
    L-Not really sure of this, something at work in cafe.
    S-FiberOne 90 cal Chocolatey Chewy bar
    D-???
    S-???

    My mini goal today....100 ounces of water

    Have a wonderful Friday!

    Good morning!

    I am checking in day 3...yay!! I still have not worked out, it's been over a week. Now its just to the point where my body is used to sleeping in in the morning. Ugg...I have got to get out of this funk, I need to work out!!!

    Clare...I love wedding venues and wedding pictures, so of course I had to look it up yours, and it is gorgeous!! I wish there was a place like that here in Georgia. DH and I got married in Gatlinburg, TN. It is a part of the Smoky Mountains. It was an outdoor wedding, and I couldn't believe how close to nature I felt, it was awesome! So let me explain the accent thing. My bosses(brothers) are from England, and when the talk about their mom, they say mum. I remember you once saying something about your mum, there have also been other references that I can't remember as well. But I enjoy listening to my bosses talk, because it is so different in an interesting way!

    Maria...keep your head up, let us know what the Dr said, we are your support system!!
    Cathy...I bet you are ready for the warm weather, I know I am . It was so beautiful here last week, now it cold again


    Hope you all have a great day!

    didn't do well at dinner. i did only get one plate. i will work it off tomorrow and stay off the scale until tuesday. it's been good, so would be depressing to see it high tomorrow.

    In order to make my goal of running 20 miles this week, I have to run 5 miles today to make up for not being able to run tomorrow. But I am EXHAUSTED! I only ran 2 yesterday as my knee started bothering (which is a new thing), so jumped on the elliptical and was fine. Don't know what I'll do today, but since kids are out town, I'm thinking a nap would be great! I hope you all have a great weekend.

    lula....don't push that knee. rest and the elliptical will work just fine.

    today is the beginning of a big day. son's trailer begins it's transformation. this thing is trashed, as in ceiling falling down, a couple small holes in floor. so it will be great when it's done. just can't beat $1000. now he will never come back home. he can afford the $250 lot rent if he ever finds himself unemployed again. plan on working off some stress and anger and last nights dinner.

    Hello - I'm checking in for my 3rd time! Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far.

    Maria - thinking of you, hope you get good news from the dr.

    I don't have too much else to say. Have to run/walk 4 miles today in prep of my marathon in June. That's about all I have for plans, other than bringing my son over to visit great-grandma, my mom, aunt and brother. That should be fun - he's so cute and entertaining.

    Tata for now!

    Afternoon....this is day 4 of checking in! No exercise today, unless you count standing for an hour at batting practice for DD, hehe! My shoulder is still not any better, I will have to go in for a massage. I was hoping I wouldn't have to with $$ so tight, but there has been no relief. Was thinking about going for one today, but the girl I went to before is already closed for the day :cry: Maybe I can get in with her on Monday, but with DH job I will have to take her with me. Other than than that no new news. Hope everyone has a great rest of the day!

    Hey everyone - thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers...you're a great support system!

    I'm wearing a 48 hr monitor right now and cannot wait to take it off...tomorrow at 11:15, I am ripping it off so fast! Can't wait to shower! :) I will run tonight one more time so it can register another run and I will work out like crazy just to let the doctor read what is going on. I am really hoping it's nothing...but if it is something, I'm relieved to know I have a good team of people figuring things out for me. It takes 5 days to find out anything so I'm hoping this time next week, I will have some answers.

    Ate Chinese today at the mall and stayed under cals for the day somehow as long as I run for 25 minutes after I get the kids to bed . I love it when I stay under on the weekends...big "I rock" feeling. :)

    Also ladies, I'm giving up the scales for lent and am very scared about this!!! I want to stay part of the group though. Lent runs from 6 march to 24 april, that's 46days and just a touch over 6 weeks (but obviously starts a week to early)

    Advice?! Shall I just check in weekly but with no weight offered?? I'd like to do the six weekly challenge but my start weight will be a week to early? I think I'll need you support to keep on it and keep up with the exercise to make sure, as I'm not weighing in, I'm actually putting on!!! X

    Giving up the scale for lent? Wow, you are a strong girl. I told my husband one year I was giving up cleaning for lent (as a joke)...was fun to see his reaction.

    Been lazy as can be today. NO motivation. Got the halter monitor off and under where the pads were, I have blistered pretty bad. WOW I didn't realize that could happen. But I am happy it's off and now it's just the waiting game (probalby know something by end of next week).

    Happy Sunday everyone!!

    It's nearly Monday finally!!! This week has been so tiring, I've been at work today and yesterday so my weekend was not that good and because ive been feeling crap ive been letting myself indulge in food during break..but fortunately i still chose healthier options than those greasy burgers lol i never liked them anyway :laugh: (note: if you're wondering i work part time in Mcdonalds..:sick: ) Off to the gym tomorrow though, and Ive just finished Kenpo X.

    Im also looking forward to Tuesday, i'd forgotten it was pancake day..YUMMM! lol i had pancaker earlier infact for breakfast, any ideas of nice toppings for my pancakes? I tried honey this morning but wasn too keen.

    Clare, absolutely keep checking in. I'm thinking that the next challenge, I'd like to stay part of the group, but am simply going to maintain if that's okay with everyone.

    I'm seriously losing my motivation and desire to exercise, self-control on what goes in my mouth, and desire to sleep my day away if that was actually possible. But today is Monday so hopefully I can kick myself into gear.

    Have a great day everyone.

It's been a few days since I've been here but my husband lost his sister to bone cancer Friday and we have been busy going to be with her kids........The funeral is today .....Hope everyone had a nice weekend.......Seems like I've been doing pretty good in the eating department...but slacked off for a couple of days on the exercise....and boy I can sure tell it....energy really low and aches and pains...Doctors are truly right about when you get older you should exercise........and keep moving......Talk to ya'all later

    good afternoon everyone,

    brasslady I am so sorry to hear about your sister in law, and very sad that she leaves her kids too. Thoughts are with your family

    xxx

    thats it for my post today I think, feel a bit odd to move from that to talking about me eating one too many cream biscuits. So for today, I'll just thank God for my health and happiness.

    Love to you all xxx
