Week 4, "H20" Lose 20 Pounds by Halloween Challenge.

I love the challenge, I know i'm starting in the race late and I dont have a scale yet. But I'm in, I feel like I can do it. and I know how u feel about the bad week. I feel like ive gain 5 lbs.

Wish me luck.

April, i know what you mean about the stressful week. I was just looking back over my "bad days" and it seems they always fall over the weekend. I hate to think this, but the only common thread is that that's when the hubby is home and helps make food choices. Somehow it's harder for me to stick to my goals with him eating junk in front of me all day long. I seem to pick myself back up immediately monday morning and do fine again until the weekend occurs. Don't know what to do. Oh well here's to fighting for strengthening will power. I know if we work hard and keep each other motivated we all can put our bad days behind us and forgive ourselves for having them eventually.

I think I will be down another lb tomorrow but here we will see.

Here's to a successful week ahead. It's Back to School night for me tonight (so, teach all day, then go to the gym, then another round of teaching....) So, I should at least be completely dehydrated when I return home at 9 tonight! (Ummm....silver lining meter says XXX,,,, okay, I'll be moving and on my feet for the next 15 hours?) Lunch and dinner are packed, and I'm ready to go!

What a morning to start the day .... today is my hubby's 26th birthday :smooched: so dinner will probably be Applebees (yum) however, I went in the spare bedroom to say good morning to my Wasser (6yr old bearded dragon) and I found him not breathing :frown: Nick and I have had him since righ after we started dating and it's hard. What really makes it worse, this is the 4th pet within a year I have lost. This summer, my mom (and my) cat Kiki of 8yrs (our 3-legged kitty) snuck out of the house and the heat got to him, in Feb, our much older bearded dragon, Fat Fred, passed away (he was easily 15yrs and a rescue) and then one that hurt the most was my dear Sox (aka my Poppy since he wasn't a puppy at 10yrs old) passed away in my arms a week after surgery with anesthesia which he had a reaction to. Sorry to pull you all into my really gloomy day. but if you have any pets, furry or scaly, give the a good hug.

So, now that it is Mon, what are some exercise plans? I'm running today and possibly tomorrow then no more til Saturday. I may try 30day shred again soon, I'm on L1D3 whenever I do it. I have plenty of walks in mind and perhaps so pilates again. Enjoy your week all. :drinker: Here's to mine getting better.

Awwww Bru....I am so sorry. Our pets are our babies and I know how bad it hurts. We lost a pet this year too and it was just heartbreaking for all of us. Our NoNo was a beautiful kitty and he had Feline Leukemia when we adopted him. The doc told us he could live all of his life with it or he may go early. We left for a night and came back the next morning and he was laying in his favorite spot barely breathing. The vet couldn't do anything for him. My heart hurts for you!

Bru - I'm so sorry for your losses. I've been surrounded by animals my whole life so I truly empathize with your pain. I will hug my snake and all three of my cats tonight in honor of your babies. Feel better soon!

Well Last week was very active for me and I stayed under Calorie Goal,, I tried to say as active as possible seeings how TOM come around on Wed.... He is still looming I hope he's gone by weigh in day (Wed)!!! I am going to start my week with some cleaning I have lots of cleaning and rearranging to do before Wednesday,, I think my scale lied to me last week it said I had lost 9lbs.... With TOM being here IDK if it was accurate or if I was just standing wrong IDK I am going to see this Wed I guess lol Stupid old fashioned floor scales!!!
