    Thanks bhurley... I am SO competitive, but more than that I want to see us be succesful!! I do 30 minutes of exercise 4 days a week and 65 minutes 3 days a week.. So...just have to keep on keepin on to meet this challenge...

    I heard a speaker say once that there are some decisions that you make once and never make over again.. To be honest...To be truthful, etc.... Well, when I started this journey I told myself that eating healthy and exercising are two of those choices... Yes there are bumps in the road, but when that stinking alarm clock goes off at 5am for me to get up and run before the Texas heat gets me...I don't have to decide if I'm going to do it or not... I made that decision once.... Now I just have to follow through... That has really helped me when it gets rough... because it does get rough....

    LET'S GO PANTHERS!!!!

    ardeornellis - I agree; I'm slowly coming to that realization. It gets easier every day for the most part. It's the getting up early I have a problem with! :laugh: I mostly do workouts in the evening after the baby is down but I do try to get up early to exercise on some days (when she's not up 3 or 4 times during the night). I don't run so I just use dvd's mostly; some walking. I am also in Texas and heat is a killer!! Ugh - I can't wait for it to cool off so I can go for walks in the afternoon after work with my daughter. What part of Tx are you in? I'm in San Antonio.

    Ok, looking forward to the week to come!

    I live in east Texas.. We are in Redwater, about 13 miles west of Texarkana.. I am NOT a morning person at all, but started forcing myself to run at around 5:15 to beat the heat and before work. I work from home, but I start at 6a, so if I don't run before then by the time I can it's just TOO hot... But you know what... doesn't matter when we do it, just as long as we fit it in.. YOu are doing a great job of fitting it in.. It's also VERY hard when babies aren't sleeping all night.. Thankfully my 4 month old sleeps from about 8:30 until 6a... I couldn't run that early without good sleep.... Let's make is a great week!!!

    We post them on the other board...

    The good news!!!!!!! We were in third place last week...

    The bad news:( 3 of our teammates didn't report!!! Come on guys!!!!! We all have something to add and contribute!! I know we have all heard the acronym for TEAM...

    T - Together
    E - Everyone
    A - Achieves
    M- More

    I think of you guys each day when I run, when I choose what foods to put it my mouth.. There really is strength in numbers, and EVERYONE has a contribution to make.. We all want this.... Let's do it!!!

    This weeks challenge - 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days this week.. I know life is hard and busy, but this is doable... If we all work together we are quite a team!!!

    It isn't until we get to the end of our excuses that we will really see true life change!!!!! Let's change our lives...


    LETS GO PANTHERS!!!!!!!

    Hi everyone!!

    I am so sorry I disapeared for such a long time! As you might have saw on my profile, I just move (from Montreal, Canada, to Virginia) so it was long and intense. I finally have the internet and I'm ready to keep up with you. I saw you are doing fantastic, and I'm really proud to be in your team!! I didn't know about this challenge, but I assure you I did my 30 mins each day this week.

    Go team!

    Good morning fantastic Unstoppable Panthers!!! How are you doing today! What are your plans?

    I wanted to play badminton with my bf but the courts are closed for maintenance.. so i'll hit the gym for a run, then work and curry tofu for dinner. I couldn't find low fat coconut milk here... getting used to new grocery shopping is gonna be a challenge...

    Have a wonderful day!
