    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.

    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.
