Black Team Challenge Week 7
Replies

Check this out-- Fitness_Chick sent me the water thread where I can pinpoint exactly where I started pushing the water and drinking my "faithful 8 glasses plus a day."
That was 11/20.
My last loss was posted 11/19. I'm up 8 pounds since then.
1200-1400 calories per day, exercise 4 times a week-- doing everything right.
Curious coincidence, eh?
I'm listening to my body going forward and see what happens. I'm drinking water right now, 'cause I'm thirsty. But, no more pushing it.
Oh, how I wish you could go to the dr.! *hugs* Listen to that body, lady!0 -
I'm going to try (again) to give up my diet sodas. I actually had about 3 totally caffeine free days when we had the water challenge a couple weeks ago and even went a full week or so without the soda until Friday. Had a stressful afternoon, had one soda and have had one every day since. I did have one today because I hadn't seen the challenge...but for the next week I will leave the Diet Dr. Pepper alone.
I'm not going to promise caffeine free, though...that was tough!
And, before I forget...congrats Noni! :flowerforyou:

Caffeine free would just be a bonus! Good luck giving them up! I swear they put crack in those things!0 -
I saw Sam post our losses this week & was INCREDIBLY impressed with all of us! WTG, team! We're all doing amazing! I'm closing in on my "final" goal & am really hoping to achieve that while I'm with all of you!
BTW - how many weeks are left? LOL I suppose I should know that before I go & try to set a goal for myself. :laugh:0 -
WARNING WARNING>...............you may just forget you are in a challenge.
Sorry...........I had equal in coffee this morning.
OK............so 1 glass of tea today with real sugar.............pray for me:flowerforyou:0 -

Awwww...thankies! :blushing: I'm getting there. Little bits at a time. I'm most proud of the muscles I'm finding everywhere right now. My belly will always look like a deflated balloon thanks to my nearly 10# middle child, but at least my butt'll look good! LOL
Have fun with the trainer today!0 -

okay-- so anybody remember my Rocky situps from last week? Somethin' popped-- well, oh my-- I have TOM cramps like crazy right in that spot. Haven't had cramps in years, now it feels like somebody's sticking a Marla Voodoo doll right in the right ovary (or somewhere near there-- ) hubby's ready to throttle me for even trying them last week.
"Are you out of your mind, you can't even get off the floor in a crunch and you try a Rocky sit up????"
Oh well-- youch for the cramps--
Have a great day everyone--0 -

Good job, Bobbi! That's awesome! Those little snack calories sure do add up!0 -
George Carlin asked similar questions in the 70s.
Beans. In the open discussion you said that. Who is George Carlin? :blushing:0 -

A comedian. He has a famous "7 dirty words" or rather "7 words you can't say on tv" sketch. Here's a bit of it from youtube. It is quite vulgar just to warn you, but that's George Carlin. His comedy actually prompted a supreme court case about freedom of speech/offensive language.

Oh, goodness! Do NOT go there if you're at work! LOL
He's a very funny man (although I don't agree with his politics or beliefs)...or should I say was a very funny man. He died not too long ago. :frown:0 -
Here's the second part of that sketch.

I had to transcribe a tape of his comedy routine after he died-- this one with the seven words you can't say-- it was not easy-- he makes more noises and facial expressions than anything else. !!!!0 -

Hey, I'm only 26, but I knew who he was! LOL I'm a bit of an "old soul" though.
Let's blame it on the fact that she's Canadian.

When you said facial expressions I immediatly thought "Suuuuugestive." LOL So funny. I couldn't imagine trying to TYPE that routine out!0 -
Okay, this challenge is not happening for me...at least not today...when I got done with my surgery it was about noon and I hadn't had anything to eat because I was afraid I'd be nauseous (which I was before, during, and after)...so I needed to eat something by the time I got done...my mom took me to the grocery store and I picked up a lovely salad from the salad bar and a piece of fried chicken...high sodium I'm imagining...and I had a few sugar free peanut clusters and two Milano cookies to cure my sweet tooth...all in all it probably wasn't THAT many calories considering that I'm feeling poopy and allowed myself to have whatever I wanted...funny that I turned to ONE piece of chicken and a salad and only a few pieces of sweets...I'm sure I'll go over my calories today, but I know it's not as bad as it would have been if I had gotten a Big Mac, fries, fish sandwich, and a milkshake like I would have a year ago...
Going to go back and lie down now if I can get comfy...which I haven't been able to so far...but we shall see...0 -
