    Yay, I thought I had lost you all.
    My scale also didnt move this week at all. But I am trying to get into more exercise. Using weights and my big ball thing. And drinking more water.Tomorrow is riding day so lots of calories burned there.

    Hello all. Sorry I''ve been MIA...but..my week has been hell. My dad, 76 yrs old, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer that spread to his lymph node, to his spine and to his brain. Oh heres the icing on the cake...he still wants to smoke cigarettes. I had to put my foot down and told him if he continued, I will send him to a Senior citizens home or a nursing facility.
    I've missed 2 days of my workout...I had to do 2 today.

    Hello to all newbies to the thread...stay positive and remember to Bring It Everyday !!!!!

    Good job everyone! Today diet-wise was a disaster for me. Even worked out in advance and earned myself >500 extra cals and still went over by 500, yikes! (On the upside, we went to this fantastic local restaurant for my fiance's birthday) Better tomorrow.

    NYGoddess, I'm so sorry to hear about your father.

    I am never cheating that badly ever again!! ... I had Mexican with Matt last night, and seriously thought I was going to die my stomach hurt soo badly. It's amazing how eating well makes me feel better, and last night I felt sooo horrible. Even this morning I am sick from it...

    So, back to it today!! It's going to be a hard week with two twelve hour shifts and such but I'll survive. I have this Mexican food to work off, so I will probably go and do Zumba tonight with some of my friends.

    Hope each of you have a successful Sunday!

    I am glad that you girls are for keeping this going! I was soo hoping that it would continue! Until NYGoddess replies, let's just keep it going here!

    I saw a quote and thought of you all today...

    "Successful and unsuccessful people do not vary greatly in their abilities. They vary in their desires to reach their potential." - John Maxwell

    Reach your potential ladies, show the world what you got! Have a great night!

    Sorry I've been MIA...but my dad was just diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and I have been stressed out. Thank Goodness for P90X....gets me to relax. We can Start our challenges tomorrow if you'd like since this day is almost threw. I hope everyone is sticking to drinking there 8+ glasses of water a day. What I do to make it easier is buy 1 Poland Spings sport bottle and drink a minimum of 2 bottles a day. I usually do 3 to 4...depends on the workouts you do. 1 sport bottle is equal to 4 glasses of water :smile:

    Tomorrow's challenge will be to get a 50 minute workout in your day. Lets go for a Cardio workout tomorrow..you have to bring it people no slouching!!!!

    I feel this thread will be very helpful to everyone. I would like to add another DAILY challenge. You must come to this thread and sort of clock in lol. List your caloric intake for each meal throughout the day. So for some that may be 3 times a day and others 5 times a day (this includes your snacks) You must stay committed if you want the results that you seek.

    Hello Eveyone,
    This week's challenge sounds great. I didn't do soo good this weekend. Wasn't horrible, but def did not get a workout in. I was out of town and I will be again this coming weekend for my niece's 3rd b-day. So I really wanna do great this week and not miss any workouts to make sure I still get in at least 4 good workouts this week before I leave.
    Def need to drink more water. So I'm going to be shooting for 64 oz a day.
    Thanks for the challenges Chryl :)
