    So, I made it through the rest of the day and I'm proud to be able to tell you all that I had more water than I could keep track of, 2 cups of herbal tea, and a flavored water..but NO COFFEE AND NO DIET SODA!

    Whoo hoo!


    Owensmommy- congrats to your BF on the new job! Enjoy your celebration! :bigsmile:

    I'm going to not pass this challenge this weekend either. I've had a crap week. I have karaoke 2 nights this weekend. And it's super bowl sunday. Mama likes beer.

    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:

    I'm on my crappy computer in the basement & I remember why I like my laptop so much. :grumble: I just needed to check in. I'm having black team withdrawls.

    Vanessa - YAY! I'm so happy your BF got a job!

    Marla - I SO hope that the day of crap food & no exercise leads to a jump start! *hugs*

    Anna - I weaned off diet coke a few years ago. It was painful!!! Good job on making it through at least one day! The first couple are the hardest!

    Sam - Woo hoo for that scale going down!

    Lori - Once again, a super cute Harley pic! She's SOOOO cute!

    Janie - good job with the water intake!

    Nicky - I hope you get that apartment! It sounds much better than the place you're at now!

    Shuntae - Good job on no soda!!! See! You can do it! Good job!

    Lynnie - "mama likes her beer." LMAO! You're too funny. Have a good super bowl time!

    Jeannie - WTG on staying away from the nasty coffee at the bottom of the pot! Yucky!

    Amelia - I hope even with the new batteries, your scale is nice to you. :flowerforyou:

    Andrew - Good job on just saying NO to the latte! I still like this challenge. It is much better than the scale challenge (:wink: just kidding Amelia! I'm actually still doing good avoiding it! Shocking)

    Roni - good job on giving up the am coffee (even if it is just a cup...that means a LOT to some people...just ask my mom.:noway: )

    Hello, Amanda! You can see that I couldn't stay away for too long. LOL Even if it means being in the downstairs dungeon freezing cold with a computer that barely works. I HAD to say hello! :bigsmile:

    I'm doing fantastic with the water challenge. The only thing I keep telling myself to step away from is the OJ in the fridge. Mmmmm...

    I probably won't be back until I get my laptop back. It has taken me waaaaaaay too long to get on this stupid computer & post. STUPID DELL BETTER HURRY UP! :mad: I have people I want to talk to! :laugh: I know...I'm selfish.

    Talk to y'all later! Hang in there! You all are doing GREAT!

    I'm doing so bad at this challenge. I've only had 3 cups of water today. :grumble: And it's 11:30pm so I don't want to drink anymore now.

    (Oh, Dave is doing well. Today he drank 11 cups of water. :noway: Show off. :grumble: )

    Doing great on the water-- that's about it-- 684 calories of chocolate eaten today-- that's the bad news-- good news is I counted it towards my daily calories and still didn't go over by that much--

    Crappy day-- grumpy mom-- Hey, Nicky-- spread some of that good news over here, eh?

    Got about 24 cups of water in, I don't understand how I can drink so much and still be so thirsty. My mouth is dry and I am still drinking water. :huh:

    Went to chinese tonight, went WAY over on my fat calories but kept my total calories under. Then went grocery shopping and bought lots of fruits and veggies.

    Go black team! :heart:
