    Yeeee Haw! Here we go!:bigsmile:

    Welcome aboard nabramson, donsch, poshtaush, jess and narna! Narna, you will love being part of challenges. You will make friends with some awesome people who will encourage you. I encourage you to "friend" a few of these ladies. They rock!

    OK....one packet of instant oatmeal for breakfast for me. My first workout is 30 Day Shred leve 1 and 10 minutes on eliptical. (It is new and is kicking my butt! :blushing: Wish I could go longer....have to work up some endurance.) Plus, the water pitcher is full and ready to hydrate me and flush the fat right out of this body! :drinker:

    Kintegra you are so sweet. We always look forward to you being in the challenges. Good job on an early morning walk with a buddy. Scheduling this with a friend brings accountability. Feel good about a strong start. You should be able to enjoy "Margarita Night" tomorrow guilt free girlie!

    Hey, I am reading a good book: Women, God and Food by Geneen Roth. You guys should pick it up. It is helping me discover why I USED TO binge and why I mindlessly eat sometimes. It is a pretty good read you guys. There is a book club under motivation and support with discussion questions. Hop in at any point if you like. (Saw the book at Target for $16.00....nice present for yourself! :))

    i am making it no snack wednesday- i have noticed i have lots of my food in the form of snacks between meals--it isnt all bad stuff but i am sure it is unecessary because i eat just my count. i get a definate sugar low after a meal where i feel hungry about 15 to 30 mins after but it passes soon enough if i show will power. My snacking comes because i psychologically i think it is time for something to eat rather than being hungry--for the first time last night i woke up on the sofa and had tea and 2 cookies because i was about 800 calories under my target -it was 1am this morning! i wasnt hungry!-so today i stop snacking!

    i did a heavy day of exercise yest--i keep a routine of day on day off. i keep to most of the principles you are working toward.

    Hey friends!! I do not know how to find you this AM so I just went back to the original posting.
    I got up and walked 2.5 miles with my friend at 6:30 this AM and have drank two glasses of water.
    How are you this morning?

    This group is great! I think I will be having oatmeal too for breakfast. I will do an hour of cardio at the gym or around the park.

    Good morning everyone! I got up early this morning & did my Belly Dancing/Bollywood workout! Today I'm going to do my walks on my breaks here at work. Then tonight is Zumba class! Hopefully a bike ride after Margarita night with the girls too! :smile:

    My goal for today is to drink 120 ounces of water
    Burn at least 700 calories
    stay active and spend less time in front of the computer and tv.

    I will let you all know how I did later.

    Well, I got my workout in the morning and it about killed me or so I thought.. Good thing I don't do crazy challenges like that every day but, 1 to 2 times a week is good.. Thanks mama for the link. With that said I doubled my workout time this morning and burned almost 1200 calories.. yippee... Now I just have to up my h2o intake today and make good decisions (mgd) the rest of the day!

    Well. I suppose I should get going and get back to work.
