    Hi Group!:happy:

    Had been doing great with packing my lunch/dinner for the last 4 days until yesterday.
    I actually packed it, but didn't have a chance to eat ALL DAY...at one point I did grab
    my orange, sat on the tailgate of my truck and took a breather. HORRIFIC traffic collision
    with two fatalities..we were out there for HOURS. Definitely got all my water in tho!:tongue:
    Thank goodness they rolled out the Command Post so I could use the 'facilities'!! Finally
    got out of the station around 2230hrs....Jack in the Box on the way home. Was too tired to
    care and wanted comfort food. Got the Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger...ate half driving home
    and said enough. Back on track today....it's my weekend. Thinking about going to get a pedi -
    my legs and feet are killing me after being on the pavement for so many hours yesterday.

    Read through a few posts on our thread this morning......GREAT job EVERYONE!!! :drinker:

    Pam:flowerforyou:

    Pam, I totally feel you! I was up all day sunday with the kids b-day party, then right as I was going to bed, my beeper went off. Back to work for a appendix. I got home in just enough time to get the kids up and ready for school, and me back to work at 6:30. So, I was up for more hours than I could count yesterday. I was dying. The only thing that got me through was my 5 hour energies I have in my locker for nights like that.

Thank got that my locker at work was full of snacks. and my friends at work were laughing at me bringing peanut butter and a half loaf of bread. but guess who was eating a sandwich at 1 am??? all 3 of us on call people were.

    I so appreciate that, Pam!!!

    I did have a nice morning, got the kids off to school. Went to my friend's house and did JM 30 day shred DVD> It is so much more fun to have a friend whining with me! LOL

    Does any one think its bad to be over on protein everyday? Please give me your thoughts. If it's a problem, my problem is that I'm drinking it. I LOVE MILK! MMMMMMMM MILK! Milk has a lot of protein, I never realized it.

    Being from Wisconsin, I have to say Milk is not bad for you. Just make sure you are balancing out the calories with all the other nutrients that you need.

    How much milk are you drinking? I am typically over on protein and sugar. However I'm also training for a 5k and walking/running close to 5 miles a day. I was told that the protein is needed to repair the muscle I am retraining.

    I sneak in 50 squats or lunges each time I use the ladies room. They really add up. My legs are really more defined now and the lunges kill my glutes!

    I drink at least 1/2 gallon of milk a day. MMM MILK!
    I'm in for squats.

    How about for the next challenge really watching those parts of our diets that our over our goal. For example, I have been doing good meeting my calorie goal daily, but am almost always over on sugar. Maybe some others have a similar problem.

    Thanks again Jenn for doing this challenge. This week has been really good to me so far. I don't have stairs or even a parking lot at work, and I work only 2.2 miles from home. So, I have been biking to work to meet the challenge. I love it!

    150 squats done. I go to back the sports doctor tomorrow for my plantar fasciitis and I'm hoping he will finally let me run (or at least give me something I can do instead that doesn't involve water.

    I love milk btw. It's been my drink of choice since I was a kid. :happy:

    I just read something, "you become what you believe".

    We all need to have faith in ourselves and that we can do it!

    Wow, I used to be like you, then I had the twins. now, I am lactose intolerant. Cheese, and dairy in food is ok, but to eat ice cream, or drink milk... I am all over the bathroom, and get horrible cramps.

    Awesome idea for me!

    How about some Planks? They are great for the arms and abs.

    Squats done.

    As for additional challenges, some of my faves are calf raises (can be done anywhere) and any kind of stretching. I do enough cardio each week, but I do neglect to stretch sufficiently. This is a site I have been trying to use and motivate myself with; it shows stretching exercises for each part of the body.

    http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/cybertherapist/stretching/allstretches.php

    To piggyback on the quote of the day, if one becomes what one believes, then I am on my way to acceptance. I believe that things happen for a reason, and I should adjust to what happens. I wish I could believe that I make things happen, but that sounds a bit to egocentric for me.

    Gosh I'm tired! So much walking, playing football and working out today. Weighing in tomorrow and I am rather nervous. I am off to ride my exercise bike for 10mins then into bed for me.
