Hi... no work-out this morning. I am at staff development so I took the opportunity to sleep in and wake up with my kiddos (I am usually at work by the time they wake up). Sorry to say that I gained a pound for this weigh-in. I am not upset as I got AF yesterday and I have muscle soreness this morning from my run last night (sooo need new shoes). That means the pound is all water weight and will be gone by next week.

New weight: 123.6

Weight- 153.4- Up- but I feel thinner and have some muscle soreness- so hoping it is water weight.

Flex- 5 minutes

Sorry for the lateness- our power has been out due to a severe wind storm and downed tree.

543 cal

@ Kelly - love the hand,both managing to hit creepy and fabulous at the same time...

QOTD - I love having my hair done, I have a very creative stylist who really pumps up the colours for me and I must admit to liking the smokey eyes as well..

Awesome week everyone..

I love heels, I have these lovely pair that I've only worn out once with my dress that looks awesome on me when I'm in the 120/130 weight range..my dress is my goal - I love it, I often try it on, it fits now but looks better when I'm smaller!!!! Other than this I love my hair when I straightening it, I have a similar cut to Rachel / Friends - I normally wear an up-do as it's easier to maintain through the day as I'm normally here, there and everywhere but it just looks awesome and silky when I do it properly!

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserves your love and affection! Buddha

I though that quote was perfect for today

ETA - I almost forgot I always feel awesome in my running kit, proper bad-*kitten*... although I prefer my short sleeved running top but burrr it's getting to cold for that!

Halloween time is so nutty in our house. Our middle daughter turned 8 on November 1st, and the poor thing woke up to the power being out until about noon. We missed morning swim class, but made the most of the rest of the day. It sure makes for a long couple of days between the two events!

QOTD (Friday) I feel good when I put on make-up. I don't wear it very often anymore because I work from home and it's a pain to take off, but I do feel sexier and more pulled together when I have it on. I prefer a fairly heavy black-lined eye with mascara and not much else besides a light BB cream and a touch of blush.

WELL DONE TO

KELLY

ALL OVER THAT LEADERBOARD!!!

Congratulations to Kelly and Gillian Awesome work you 2:) And everybody else on the top 10 and to everybody who completed the challenge

@Artemis: Maybe we can find a substitute for you, example: fast military walk to increase your heart rate, then normal walk... it doesn't require impact. I am sure other members may adjust depending of their health conditions. The important in HIIT is to increase your HR, and get a very short recovery before going back into it. We can wait for Kelly & Sheri to decide, but I sure do not see it as a problem for you to continue the challenge. Some people using the treadmill may increase the slope during the high intensity, and then go back to a more flat slope... Don't give up!

@all: one more day, and then I get 2 days off.... I almost can't believe it. I have been working 2 jobs for 6 weeks now, worked every single weekend for the past 6 weeks, did not get days off on some weeks, sometimes 1 only. I am dead beaten. I honestly don't know how I kept up with the challenge, but it is such a motivation! I should be more present on the team page, which makes me really happy.
Keep pushing
