BLACK TEAM CHALLENGE WEEK 10

janiebeth

Morning team..

Nicky - OMG - how scary!! thank god you got that one on the monitor. I hope it is something minor - keep us posted, we worry about you. Nice to see you at your first goal - WAY TO GO!!

Sara - Way to weigh in... are you now at your goal, or just so terribly close to it? - either way fantastic job!!!

Amanda - how is your daughter? I hope she is feeling better today. Way to go with 100 sit up challenge..

Sam - you are our fearless leader, but we all have off weeks (most of mine seem off lately) - no one is disappointed - we love you no matter what, and you kick butt often enough to take a bad week. BTW - thanks as always for the kind words on the PM..

Lynnie - great job turning your attitude around - you should PM me to tell me how you did that, I am in desparate need of an attitude adjustment.

Marla - I hope things turn around for you soon. I'm not sure what is happening (I am mostly hiding out in this thread), but am thinking good thoughts for some resolutions for you.

Shuntae - sounds like a big loss for you today as well...at or really close to goal??

Bobbi - hi, how are things going with couch to 5K - going for Day 2 today, but calves still sore - aagghh..

Roni, Andrew, Jeannie, Lori, Tresa, Amelia (you are still out there somewhere) and anyone else I missed - good thoughts to you for a happy weigh in.

I am still crabby and down on myself - my body just seems to be rebelling lately, and it is pi$$ing me off, but I am trying to work on my head - which also needs much work...:laugh: :laugh:

Hope everyone has a happy, healthy, active day..

We are all leaders of this team. I am just the weight recorder!!:laugh:

You are like me I need to work on my head as well because some days I just am like fugetaboutit and eat but then I realize I don't want to be that fat girl again. Just remember what it was like when you were at your highest weight and where you are now. I mean you are working on a couch to 5k program that is fantastic!!

AmandaJ

My daughter is doing okay, I kept her home from school today to monitor her, that is an excuse for some extra snuggle time! :laugh:

I hate my scale right now so when I throw it across the room, will you come hug it Sarah????

Last week I coasted and I mean really coasted and lost two pounds and this week I worked my butt off and only lost 1/2 pound. My ticker is changed and everything because when I checked in on Monday I weighed 158 but today 159. :noway:

That's it - that is the part that really drives me crazy.. no immediate gratification..

I mean, I do get it, you won't see the results right away, but how much easier would it be if you could..

Hang in there Amanda - we have a good week coming..

AmandaJ

Thanks Janiebeth! I needed those words of encouragment. Are you joining the hundred sit-up challenge. I see you posted on it!

Does anybody have week 11. I would love to do BUT can't think of anything creative. I have sort of an idea but it is sort of lame!:grumble:

loreeb18

Did Sam claim it? I thought somebody asked for it last week.

AmandaJ

Well that is wonderful because I am really bad at these things. I am so glad that somebody else claimed it!!!!!

nickybr38

Where's our week 11 thread! And also can I have a challenge week sometime?

loreeb18

That's why I waited so long to do one. I couldn't come up with anything!

Amanda,I'm doing the 100 sit up challenge. If you have an idea post it.

Nicky, Go for it, we need a challenge.

janiebeth

Amanda - I just formally joined the 100 sit up challenge.. just wanted to make sure I didn't have to do full sit ups - they kill my back..

agree with all - we need a new challenge - I thought Sam had asked for it - I wonder if she is preoccupied with the weigh ins..

Just got done with Day 2 of Week 1 couch to 5K. It felt much better today - I think a treadmill at 0.5% grade agrees with me..

off to do some crunches..

I'll wait to see what Sam says. If no one has claimed week 11 I'll grab it. :bigsmile:
I has BIG PLANS FOR THIS. BIG PLANS

AmandaJ

Nicky, I am scared, very, very scared!! :laugh:

lynniejones

I am changing my attitude back to good by just being as kind and positive and motivating with myself as I am with other people, like the folks I work with.

Thanks for the encouragment. You know this is the most positive and wonderful group of people I am SO glad to be with you folks! I don't even know why I bother to read other threads-- I get so mad at once certain person's negative, smart aleck responses I could just spit. Why does this person even bother to spread the negative energy around-- miserable!

:noway:

Unhappy people like to make others unhappy so they're not alone in their misery.

this will be hard for me.. I tend to pick on myself .. but I will also try.

I also try to stay mostly on this thread.. you get to know the players out there, and I try to stay away from them - some times they show up in unexpected threads.

Nicky - I am very scared too... be kind to this old bodd..

Janie I am my own worst enemy also. No one is as mean to me as I am. No one expects more from me than I do. I take criticism so hard because I take what people say about me and amplify it times ten and beat myself up over it. I'm a virgo, and I don't know if anyone believes in your zodiac or anything like that, but I am SUCH textbook I Virgo that it is scary. Sometimes I am shocked at how confident and competant I am to the outside world when I know that on my insides I am a hot mess.

Lynnie
:ohwell:

AmandaJ

Come on Nicky, let us know what we have to do so we can see if we are going to live through it! :grumble: :laugh:

lynniejones

I'd like the next available challenge pwease. :smooched:

Janie, Week 2 Day 2 tomorrow. I'm doing it outside, hope the weather is nice enough. Surprising how much I thought I was gonna hurt and didn't. Did I just jinx myself?:noway:

I haven't read through anything, but I'll be back for that in a bit. I just wanted to let y'all know (since I'm a scale addict)...*whispers* that my goal weight was on my scale this morning. :noway: I think those weeks of gaining/losing/gaining/losing/p-wording, etc...have finally given up & my body was like, "FINE! I'll just get you there! SHUT UP!" I haven't decided if I'm going to change my ticker or not. YAY!

nickybr38

Who has week 11 challenge? :frown:

Who has week 11 challenge? :frown:

Take it & run with it, Nicky! Or, e-mail Sam & ask. Until then, I challenge you to eat your veggies, drink your water, do 100 jumping jacks, stay away from that sugar (which I know you're doing great at), do your crunches, and...ummm...lots of other stuff. :bigsmile: I'm in a goofy mood today. I should go do my work. *sigh*

Who has week 11 challenge? :frown:
