    Today was extremely hard for me, the scale didn't move and I figure that would happen eventually but not so soon. My body was like lead, mentally I was into riding my bike, but the whole 30 minutes on it, I had to PUSH my body to do it. It sucked. I took a three hour nap and woke up still not feeling refreshed, I look like a blimp, my body is swollen and puffy and I am just miserable. I can't figure it out considering I have been working so hard and really watching what I put in my mouth. :cry: And then my mom made brownies and I ate three of them, small ones but still that is the first sugar I have had in three weeks. UGH! Now I feel worse! :cry:

    It'll budge eventually, we just have to stay on track and be patient.

    Ok.........Andrew:angry: ..............here I stand in my kitchen, staring at the cofee pot. There is an inch of stale coffee in the bottom and I am asking myself how bad could it be? (i am out of coffee and creamer so this challenge seemed the right thing to do!:ohwell: )

    Do you think the little freeze dried coffee we recieved in our sea rations after hurricane katrina is still ok? I will not drink it see......I will poor the coffee straight on my tounge.....

    Alright..............breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeath Jeannie. You didnt step on the scale for a week and survived. You can live 1 week with out coffee.

    Oh and Andrew, have a nice day:mad:

    Hey, don't get discouraged. Remember this is a long term thing, not an instant thing and sometimes the scale will get a bit cranky. Let it have it's little break and just keep doing what you're doing. :happy:
    All good things come to those who work hard.

    Soooo. I ALMOST had a tragedy yesterday. I forgot my water bottle at home! Thank goodness for bottled water. I forgot how absolutely delicious aquafina water is! HOW CAN IT BE SOOOO GOOD????

    Challenge day one successful. Day two here I come. MWAHAHA.

    I'm not a big water fan either. I usually only drink 1 or 2 cups a day. So even though I "failed" the challenge by not getting my 8 cups, I'm still happy because I drank 5 cups -- more than double my usual.

    Yesterday, I had more than my 64 ounces of water but I still had my morning coffee and a diet soda with my lunch. Today, I thought I would at least try to go without the soda or coffee...and so far, so good. Of course, it's only 1 pm here now, so we'll see how long it lasts.

    ARGH~ How can things go from sooo bad to sooo good????

    I went to the rental office yesterday and there is a three-bedroom duplex that allows pets that we MAY be able to rent! It's only 20 dollars more then what we're paying for a tiny 2 bedroom condo! I'm pretty excited. I'll know Monday whether we get the place.

    Furthermore I officially jumped into running this morning. I tried the program a few times earlier in the week but I just couldn't seem to get past that first (Run for one minute) thing. ARGH. But today I did the full 20 minutes of run for one minute, walk for one minute... I'm pretty stoked. It felt HORRIBLE. OMG SO HORRIBLE. I thought I might die, but I pushed through and I was SOAKED in sweat but I did it!!!!

    I'm getting right back on the treadmill Monday to do it again.

    AND all my pants are WAY baggy. It's fantastic. But I refuse to go buy new ones until I hit the 200lb mark.

    AND I hunted down ski pants and am going skiing next weekend! I've never skiied in my life so I'm excited and terrified and WANT TO GO SO BAD.

    So yeah, last week ended on a horrible note. This week is ending on a decidedly exciting note. Go figure eh???

    :bigsmile:

    Keep drinking black team! Your body will thank you. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    :yawn: Going to grab a quick nap before work now. HEE

    Nicky, I am so glad that this week is so good! I hope you have fun skiiing, I have never gone either. :flowerforyou: Amelia, wouldn't it be cool if your scale didn't need new batteries and your body finally just said "okay you win and dropped 10 pounds". :smile: Owens'mom, congratulations to your bf, that is great news. Sam, sorry to hear you are getting sick. UGH! Sarah, I miss you!

    I am doing good at this challenge, it is quite easy for me. That is great considering I bombed last week's challenge.

    Yay Nicky...you needed good news.

    I totally agree - you were due for some good news.

    excellent news for owensmommys bf - a day of celebrating is not only allowed but encouraged.. WTG

    sorry you are getting sick Samantha - not fun..

    I did great Wednesday with the challenge - drank 100 oz of water - easier on Weds as I was working from home and closer to the sink (and bathroom LOL). Yesterday, still got about 80 oz - but slacking off. Today is a disaster - 12:30 and only 20 oz - will need to pound this afternoon and tonight..

    Hang in there everyone - weekends almost here..:wink::wink:
