    Sorry, I did look. Guess I missed it. I'm sure you have your weights on. so that is a work out. I still think you are going to have the nicest legs in the office. In Florida that will be good for those humid summers. LOL The office won't laugh at those weights after they see you in a skirt in a couple months!!!! I love working out in the morning. It makes me feel like the day is easier tackled. Like, look what I already did! Did I say I hate mornings, though. :grumble: :laugh: How are you doing on your salt? I keep saying I'm going to tackle that. I know I should my DH already has high cholesterol at 29. So it would be good for both of us. You have any suggestions or advice on how to get that ball going? I know you've done great on it!

    That's awesome!!! I've been wondering how you are. I know you have a lot on your plate right now. Been missing seeing you in the post lately. I hope you are alright!

    I've been doing great on the salt! It's really helping. I moved the workouts to mornings so I'll actually do them. It's too cold to go outside right now because the kids want to go with me. So I'm working mostly on the bike and the workout dvds.
    I too think my legs are gonna be the sexiest in FL!!
  • bumping to see if more purples are around
  • hello is anyone out there?????:bigsmile: :laugh:

    Hey ya'll! I am here!! Finally! I worked my 12 hours today and am tired. I am off tomorrow and work Saturday and then am off for 3 1/2 more days. Yay! I have been doing ok with my eating and I still haven't been eating much salt. I don't like salt. Thank goodness. I have enough bad habits. Lol! I did have Chinese for supper tonight. I hope everyone is doing good! I miss talking to everyone!
  • I figured you were working. It was just too quiet for you to be at home. :wink: Get a good nights sleep. I don't like salt either. But, I'm sure it's hidden in many ways we don't realize in our foods. I've finally gotten back up to my needed water intake. My mouth still can't take the cold so I drink it room temp. I also just deal with the pain. I can't believe I want to see the dentist :noway: He really messed up my mouth! Bad Dentist!!! I ate pretty good today. I did have french fries and chicken strips. But, they were homemade and much less calories and salt than fast food. I'm thinking of going to work out on the gazelle. HMMMMM:yawn:

    I need to get back into working out. I didn't want to do anything this week at all. Yea you know when it is quiet I am not home. That's bad huh? Guess that might mean I talk too much! Sounds like everyone is doing pretty good. Some of us are checking in pretty regular each day so that is a plus!!
  • I've done pretty good about working out. I really miss our challenges that we did when we first started the BL challenge, though. I liked doing them feeling accomplished. Then checking in and going oh man!!! There's more. Alright lets do it. It made me feel motivated because I wasn't doing them alone.
    It's not bad!!! It's great that you talk so much on here. It shows your interested in our group and in us individually. DH needs computer so I'm going to go play cards with the kids and then head off to the gazelle. :indifferent:

    I do like our challenges too. I like the workout like Nicole and I did the other week. it was kind of strenuous but it worked and I really could feel it. I haven't even done the 30 Day Shred in over a week now. I'm not sure where my motivation went and I don't like that. We will get back on it. Plus my work schedule is so screwed up right now. I never know when I am working or how many days or hours and I hate that! Maybe that is my problem.

    Hey Purples!!! i have been doing good with my workouts and eating but no weight loss in 2 weeks:sad: i personally LOVE salt but i havnt added any to anything since we started that challenge!!! :drinker: woohoo for me!!! if you cant go without, try nosalt salt, tastes just the same but no sodium! ok so i am trying to think of a challenge..........ok kinda easy but its something, when u first get out of bed in the morning do 100 jumping jacksand 50 crunches and then right before bed do another 100 jj and 50 reverse crunches!!! good luck!!!:wink:


    oh...so my new favorite excercise is tricep dips....a killer but u totally feel it the next day!!!


    GO PURPLES!!!:happy:
  • Well, last week you were sick Nicole. So that is a freebie. doesn't count. So you've had one week of no weight loss. Not so bad. I'm in on the challenge. I better plan on the jumping jacks that's going to take me a pretty minute. :laugh: My DH loves tricep dips. he's trying to convince me to do them. I just can't hear him when he talks about them.:laugh: :laugh: :blushing: But, I do work my triceps on the bowflex. I will actually work them tomorrow night.

    I woke up this morning with a terrible headache. I think I'm trying to get the cold that the rest of the family has. With that and my hand hurting from the other day, I skipped my morning workout. Caught a couple more zzzzzzs. Then when the regular alarm went off and I tried to get out of bed...O BOY were my legs sore. I guess that's a testament to the hard work I did yesterday. So I'm gonna do an upper body routine tonight, or yoga, something low impact.
    Hope everybody else is doing well today.
    O ya, I also got a protein/fiber shake powder yesterday. Drank that when I got up this morning and skipped the coffee. I'm hoping my body doesn't freak out and skip my morning "break" since it didn't get coffee....hopefully the fiber in the shake will do the trick.

    Hi purples! I'm off to a good start today. Had a great aerobics class this morning. Good thing since my eating hasn't been the best.
    Yesterday I also tried a dvd I read about on mfp. I think it's called Cardio Dance Slimdown. Anyway, it was quite a workout. I couldn't quite keep up, but I'm sure I burned a lot of calories - I was sweating and my face was very red.:laugh:
    I really hope to lose something before the next weigh-in. Week-ends are very hard.:grumble:
    I better keep moving. Have been sitting at the computer way too long.
    Have a good week-end everyone.

    Good luck ZaZa! You can do this!! I like the new DVDs I have tried so far. They make me sweat like a pig and my face turns red too!
    Morning Skittles! It's good to see you on here today!!
    Hey TRLTAMPA!! I hope you don't get sick too! I felt that way last week and doped up on Nyquil and felt much better the next morning. Hopefully you will too!
    Tamara is working her butt off literally! You go girl! I wish my job gave me the hours yours is. I need them!
    Hey Suprjewels! How's it going today??
    Morning Nicole! You can do this now! Let loose one day and eat over your calories and see if you can jump start that metabolism again! We got this!!!
    I need to be off to clean the house! Let's go Purples!!!
  • Hey I'm here. My workout partner for mornings cancelled. I've been a bum ever since. I need to clean the house and go buy the cats and rabbit some food. But, I don't want to move. HMMM:yawn: I put music on to get me motivated. I think I'm going to dance to the 90's music on the sirius channel while I vacuum. What do you think of this challenge? It's easy and can be fun. Put on your favorite 2 or 3 songs and dance your heart away with you kids. They will love laughing at you and you will dance away the calories. The catch is you have to report to us the song..... A good way to get to know each other a bit more too. So what do you all think????

    i just came back from lunch and saw that my boss has a giant crate FULL of old records. Chicago Foreigner Starship!!!!
    I'm gonna steal em! Or beg for em...haven't decided yet.
  • I know what you mean. We just bought a van at the begining of the year. It had a tape player in it. I hadn't seen one of those in ages!!!:laugh: I found an old tape of some chicago songs I recorded. Poor kids It's on constant repeat. But, I'm loving it:love::love:

    Lucky for me and my hubby, we have all our "old" stuff on CDs now. BTW, my parents still have their 8 track player and all their old 8 track tapes and it is still in great working order!

    I think I'm in a time warp. Cruel scientists have stopped the clocks from ticking right before 5pm on Friday.
    Bet they want a nobel prize for that too!
