    It's only my second day doing the challenge but I'm loving it! Just now I ran two Ks and I was feeling great about it and thought, "I might just stop at that, I've earned the extra calories I needed." But then I realised I needed to do six extra minutes to make 20 so I jumped rope! Normally I would just quit when I feel done instead of pushing myself to do a little more.

    First time doing the challenge and love that I am already thinking about what I'm going to do today so I can log in for the second day
    I'm assuming because feb 1 st had 77 sign ins there are 77 members, will be interesting to see
    If it stays at 77 members for the month hope so

    I'm so excited to be doing this challenge again...really hope I can complete the month this time : )

    I forced myself to do 20 min on the stationary bike yesterday and did a 20 min interval walk this morning. I can't do more right now because i am on Day 4 of a stiff neck. It's not getting better and I'm starting to worry that it might be something more serious ...maybe a pinched nerve or something :sick: ...need to do some research.

    no superbowl for me today. I meeting a girlfriend at the mall for lunch, shopping and to see 12 Years a Slave. Will have to catch Bruno on Youtube : )

    I was seriously almost out yesterday but at the 11th hour got 2 hours walking. Started with one then kept going! I was booted last month on day 8 ???? but did really well the rest of the month anyway. So 1 down 27 to go!!

    Going to 90 min yoga plus making sure i do 15,000 steps with fitbit today so i think i should do ok today!

    ..........and let the games begin! I was watching the Gabby Douglas story on lifetime while I was on my treadmill, awesome story. Helped me through my workout. I'm looking forward to another great month, one minute at a time, one exercise at a time and one meal at a time. Hang in there everyone! Wendy

    YES!! I'm also excited to see if the number changes with our teammates. Not that I want anyone to fail, but it will definitely be interesting to see how many of us are standing strong at the end!!

    Feeling upbeat and motivated.
    Although I got gutted by hearing my best friend is in the hospital. In total worry mode, I went to Trader Joes and bought Joe-Joes which are awesome cookies. I ate a few and realized that they weren't helping so I put them away and went and hopped on my elliptical. That is a total reversal for me. Not sure if it's the challenge, getting back in the groove after the holidays, or finally an epiphany about using food for comfort, but whatever it is I'll take it.
    I hope everyone is doing well.

    Great my 7 yr old and I went for a 2 mile walk and I didn't eat all the garbage I usually do for Super Bowl.
