    mamaturner - my feet also go numb on the elliptical - not sure why, but I'm sure as I'm going to school for physical therapy, I will find out why - LOL. And it's not my shoes too tight either - I can go about 1/2 hour and then at that point, they are pretty numb.

    I'm sorry I've been MIA - been so busy with school and getting over this sinus infection. I've been able to get in about 30 minutes of small activity each day - walking is all I can do at this point but I'm happy with it. :heart: You are all motivating and amazing - wow. With 3 kids, full-time school and a million kid activities to follow, I'm lucky enough to brush my teeth some days! :bigsmile:

    You are all doing great on the exercise, where do you find the time working full time? And those of you with kids! I don't know how you do it.

    I make myself get out of bed before work and it sucks hahaha.

    You rock Faith - I could never do it! I already have to get up at 5am just to be at work by 8 and thats with a wake up call in the middle of the night many nights. We forgot to set our alarms this morning and didn't get up until both kids woke us at 6...ugghh talk about rushing.:grumble:

    Irish - glad you posted - and that your sinus infection is getting better! Some mornings the only reason I remember to brush my teeth is because my not quite two year old reminds me, she LOVES to brush her teeth :bigsmile:

    Debbie - I am really fortunate to have a man who will take care of the kids and house so I can do the C25K - but I only do it every other day. I also try to walk during my lunch break on days I am not travelling for work.

    Ooohhhh!!! I never heard of the Monster Pub Crawl! I wonder what I work that weekend. I think some of the locations are super close to me too.

    I'm thinking of doing the Zombie Pub Crawl this weekend in Mpls. Anyone else? http://zombiepubcrawl.com/2011/

    I did it in 2009 and it was crazy! I went as a Zombie Pagent Contestant. Here are some fun pics.

    I'm an angry hissing zombie/vampire!

    Still not feeling too hot, but got off my *kitten* and did something anyways. Did 40 minutes of C25k with Redmond and Oliver and got in 30 minutes of Turbo Fire before Redmond woke up crying from his nap. Poor kid can't sleep cause he's so congested. Momma needs a nap!

    How's all my movers and shakers? :flowerforyou: Do you meet or exceed your goals? :drinker:

    Two people really stand out for the exercise challenge.....and, they are......Cathy and Sara. They went above and beyond in regards to exercise. I am going to give Cathy a 0.5 lb. advantage for tomorrow and Sara a 0.25 lb. advantage. :flowerforyou: You girls earned it!! :wink:

    If you feel that you matched their activity levels, send me a plea and I will consider it.

    The word for tomorrow is "Choices dated 10/5/11". For the next week I would like you to focus on the good choices that you make in lieu of the bad choices. Post one for each day and see how good you do!!! :smile:

    So....
    Scale Smashers have 1 lb. disadvantage from losing last week :sad:
    Cathy, 0.50 lb advantage :love:
    Sara, 0.25 lb advantage
    Anne, 0.50 lb advantage in her pocket to use at any time :love:
    Hmmm, we can't forget who's going to be eliminated :brokenheart: :brokenheart:

    Winner of this week gets to pick 2 :smokin:

    ·   Take 0.50 lb. weight advantage
    ·   Select immunity for any player other than yourself (Just remember who’s running the show, me, me, me)
    ·   Change the weigh-in date for yourself or any other person
    Must be last least 3 days after prior weigh-in for other person
    Any day for yourself
    You may opt to leave it as it stands
    ·  Trade any 2 players of your choosing

    So my exercise total for today was 786 burned with running, both in the morning and evening. Was glad to be able to run again!!

    My total calories burned with exercise for the week was 6764. You would think that would equate to a nice big loss tomorrow, but alas,.... not looking that way!! UGH! Anyway, there are the numbers for the week. good choices next week, got it!!

    168.8 Yay broke the 170's:bigsmile:
    I will post the picture when I get home from work. I get up at 4 and I am out the door at 4:30 so no time to mess with the computer. Just snap the picture before I jump in the shower.

    I am so happy to have a loss:bigsmile:
  • WI105.jpg

    Not sure if you can see it well - stupid flash today's weight 216.4lbs

    Well my good choices today will be eating a salad tonight when i go out to eat. Very tempting to get my usual burger and fries but I have already made my mind up.

    Good luck to all the weigh-ins!

    I did 56 minutes last night, so I killed the 180 minutes--not that it matters, but I like to be part of the group. :wink:

    So, a loss from last week...a wee one.

    Ok photobucket is YET AGAIN giving me problems....I can't see the image I've uploaded but I managed to get the code copied. Hopefully you all can see it and it's not too big/needs rotated. :explode:

    I'm at 193.5 - a half of a pound gain from last week. :ohwell: I need my team to pull some big numbers to keep me alive since we've got the disadvantage this week. C'MON SCALE SMASHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
