    Well, hell decided to just pull it's pants down and take a huge flaming dump on my day! I'm sorry to be Debbie Downer but it was a BAD DAY! Never again will I install Google Chrome on anything!!! Not to mention the other bs I had to deal with.

    So I went over by 55 calories tonight and I'm very sorry Tribe. I will get a solid night's rest and be my bright and chipper self in the am. As far as I'm concerned this day never even happened.

    Hugs,
    Lori

    The last few days have been great - I just haven't been around my computer much to write, I've been out enjoying the beautiful weather and exploring the Rockies. I've completed all of the challenges for days 4, 5, and 6. I've also completed my extra 200 crunches this week and did multiple 5ks. I'll make sure to put these on the spreadsheet.

    5 days left guys! One more final push!

    I am heading to the gym in about an hour to watch the second round of football games and work out. I plan on trying to do 300-350 crunches today. Then I need to come home and pack a bit. Next week is going to be crazy after a horrible and good and horrible again weekend.

    Kick it ladies, these 5 days are time to go gangster. No reason to slow down before you cross that finish line!

    Hi Tribe,

    Just wanted to touch base. Still admitted. Was hoping Doc would let me go today, but it didn't happen. Keeping fingers crossed for escaping tomorrow. I'm very proud of all you for doing so well. I'm very sorry for having the issues I am having as I feel I'm letting you all down. You ALL are an inspiration to me and I intend to make up everything I have missed, once back to 100%. I know I have been under calories cuz hospital food blows and I know I am doing well with water cuz it's all I drink. Hope everyone is doing well. And Team Captain, I owe you too much to ever get rid of you!!! Thank you and thank you all for being so wonderful!!

    Hey Janet
    DO NOT BE SORRY! Sometimes things just don't work out the way we want them to but the main thing is we keep trucking on. FOCUS on getting better - you are NOT letting anyone DOWN! You have done so well and it sux that you are going through what you are but such is life right? Not easy and nor is this journey. REMEMBER NEVER GIVE UP! As long as you get back on the horse when you are back to 100% then your journey will continue as successfully as it started. Your MFP family will be here to support you. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    LORI - You ROCK and there is NO WAY you are getting rid of me that easily! Whether you are on here constantly or not just knowing I have a friend who is as dedicated to getting healthy as you are makes this journey that much easier! THANK YOU for all your hard work, encouragement and friendship. :love: :love:

    Woo hoo! I lost 2 lbs this week! I think that's the most I've lost in one week since I started MFP back in June!

    I know I won't meet my goal for September in the next 5 days, but at least I'm a slightly healthier me than I was when it started!

    Hope everyone has a great Monday!

    Good morning Team!
    Ok, so I'm back home and ready to hit it hard this week. I stayed under my calories during my beach trip but I did drink every day (tequilla and rum were my indulgences) and drank less water than usual. I try to hit over a gallon each day but barely got in my 8 glasses so long story short, I gained this week :sad: I had an incredible time though! :glasses: So, this week I'm gonna finish out strong, detox my body, and loose back every thing I gained plus a little (I really want to be in the 250's).
    I hope you all have an outstanding day!
    :heart: Marie

    Good evening everyone!
    Under calories, over water, bushman series complete and 100 extra crunches completed. I'm also cutting out wheat products for the next two weeks to see what effect (if any) it has on my system.
    Only 4 days in September are left so let's finish out strong \_o_/

    Incredible job everyone!!!! I'm listening to MNF on radio tonight while multitasking. I kicked my own booty today to make up for my less than stellar weekend. I did Bushmen, no tabata cause I was just dead after everything else I did. Over 100 minutes today with 74 of it solid running. I drove to my 1/2 way point and placed a water bottle by a fire hydrant so I could have a drink, lol. My abs are hurting from all the crunches and I have the heat pad on them now.

    Don't know if I will get from 128 down to 125 by the last day of this but eventually I will get there.

    :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I COULDN'T DO IT! I ended up still going to the gym for a bootcamp session even though I'd cancelled and did a killer workout this morning. In the end I decided to "treat" myself to the gym if I got through my uni goals for the day...I had a depressing day with uni and decided to release the depression at bootcamp :bigsmile:
    Walked over 3 miles today and enjoyed every minute of it!
    It's late and I'm drinking my dinner :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
    LOVES TO YOU ALL! and JR CHEERS FOR SAVING ME A LOT OF DOSH! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
