    Hey purple ladies . . . . . this weeks challenge by Peanut has been a really hard one for me personally, as some of my days I either work almost around the clock or I am so wiped out after running from patient room to patient room that I can barely take my scrubs off, much less exercise. Monday and Tuesday were a total wash for me in the exercise department as i spent both days working from sunup to sundown. The kicker is, I ran from the time I got up to the time I fell in a heap . . . . literally, I was sweating at work. On those occasions where I am not sitting on my rump, and I have a particularly active work day, i would like to count those times as exercise calories. Seriously, the stuff I do is 80% physicality most days. Anyone share my feelings?? Thoughts about how the daily grind affects your workout ability?? :)

    That sounds like an awesome all day workout really. I had a rough time too with travelling so my whole schedule is messed up. I guess doing anything that is not your regular work is workout enough, cos that means extra calories burnt.

    I think this week's challenge is going to drive me nuts really watching out for a balanced meal. Looks like I need to make my own work lunches this week.

    Yeay team purple!! So ppumped we got the lead and if my calculations are correct we're ahead in pounds lost by nearly 2. I can sooooo see us winning this competition. We just gotta stick with it. Especially me with this week. Have some sad news....

    My aunt passed away today. She was only 50 years old but battling with MS for around 20 years and confined to a wheelchair. I know she's running thru heaven's gates with a blessed and new body but she's gonna be missed by her family sooooo much.

    Please keep me and my family in ur thoughts and prayers this week. I'll keep u all in mine. :-)

    thank you girls so much. it's been bittersweet. funeral is tomorrow then i go back to my home 4 hours away wednesday.

    and i also need help with the double whammy challenge. not so much with exercise, but the food part. i'm afraid i don't pay attention to the "balance" of my meals. lol when i think of protein, the only thing i think of is chicken lolol pretty slim huh? egg is protein right?

    Protein:
    Beans, Eggs, cheese, chicken, fish, tuna, shrimp, shellfish . . . .

    Complex carbs:
    Whole wheat, whole grain, remember multi grain also includes WHITE FLOUR generally speaking. Oatmeal, quinoa

    I believe peanutbutter is one of those wonderful foods that hits alot of categories at once: protein, fats, and complex carb

    Get a little of everything and you will be fine :)

    I'm finding it really tough too...plus, this week is all about late nights for me at the office, and I'm exhausted! I know the proteins and all that, just don't know to balance it together. :S

    One more week as the purple team ladies . . . . . it's bittersweet. I am hoping to hit the 10lb mark next week, but am facing one of my most jam packed weeks yet. School, kids, two field trips,two school picture days, work 33+ hours, clinical prep, clinical presentation, and hopefully sleep. I am not sure where I will get my workouts in . . . . . .really needing some encouragement to get a run or two in and do some at home workouts when i stop by the house for 5 minutes :p

    I know sakus! I wonder if the teams will change or if the remainging members can still be on the same team with registered members put on teams. Anyway.....I wish every purple good luck in meeting their end challenge goals. AND since there wasn't a team winner this week I think we're still in the lead!!! So let's see if we can pull it thru this week! We can do it! GO TEAM PURPLE!!! WOOOOOHHOOOOOOO!

    well purple team, i've had a great time with you guys! stinks that we weren't able to be on the same team for round two :( BUT i'm glad we're still friends with everyone to give each other support. good luck with weigh ins tomorrow! i'm on the edge. i have no idea how i'm gonna do. been snacking like crazy. TOM is almost here so any water i drink is staying put i'm afraid. but maybe some bloat medicine will help. only 1.4 lbs away from original sexy in six challenge goal. gonna be praying hard and psyching my mind up during sleep tonight lolol

    have a great one! GO TEAM PURPLE!!!! WWWWOOOHHHOOOOOO!!!!!!
