Eating right is sooooo hard!!! I don't feel like I eat the wrong foods, just too much snacking. Last week I tried to reboot my system a little and i think it helped. I made a menu that kept me within healthy ranges and ate that for 5 days (the weekend came and ruined it). Just having defined meals really makes a difference for me. I tend to skip breakfast, snack for lunch, then eat everything in site while I cook dinner:noway: :

So, my goal since the beginning of the year has been to get down into the 150's before I go on vacation and I think I might actually get there! I'm one of those crazy people that weighs themselves everyday and I've been at 161.2 for the last two daysbigsmile I can definately lose at least 2lbs in the next 11 days for sure!!! 158 will put me at my 10lb mark for the year also so I'm unbelievably happy right now!!

Kasi, I agree!!

I just want everyone to know that I am going to withdraw from this contest even tho I have loved being a part of this team. I am trying to get this house ready for sale and shop for a new one. I am pulled in so many directions at this point, I have to consolidate my efforts. I will check in periodically - but, I don't want my scores to count because I hold the team back every week.

Oh no, Kim, I'm sorry to see you go. I understand why you're leaving, but we'll miss you. Good luck with selling your house and finding a new one, and please do keep dropping in and letting us know how you're doing. Once a member of team Carl, always a member of team Carl! :flowerforyou:

So it looks like it's just Kasi, Kat and me left. Bridget, are you still out there?

We should really kill it the next two weeks and get team Carl to the top of the leaderboard. With so few of us left, if we work hard, we should get great points! We are doing really well as it is.

I think the other teams have lost a lot of team mates too, Kasi.

So, how is the week going for everyone? It was really hard to get my workouts in this week because of St. Patrick's Day on Monday (I'm Irish!) but I am going to count the beginning of the week as the 'me' time that we had to have this week. I'll be in beast mode until Saturday so that I hit all my goals.

Hi guys, sorry I was away for so long, I am still fighting this cold (its been about two weeks now) and I have been finding it more difficult to keep up with the challenge.
I would love to continue to try to stick with it if you guys want. I know you have all been working so hard and I feel like I let our team down.

I did fill in my numbers for the week and am going to go back and catch up on what I have missed.
Hope everyone is doing well!!!

I'm sorry to hear you've been unwell, Bridget. Yes, of course we want you to stay on team Carl! :drinker: Don't worry about getting your goals done, just let us know what you need and I'm sure we'll be able to cover for you.

Only two weeks left, team! I was really tired the last couple of weeks, but I'm ready to make these last few days of the challenge awesome! :happy:

We have two weeks left? Granted I was pretty tired last night but I could have sworn they were saying season finally next week.... i could be wrong.

Great job holding the MVP spot for so long Zombie!!! I've been trying to beat you but your just a rockstar!

Hey everybody, I'm planning on doing the 30ds level 1 tonight with a 20-25 minute kickboxing workout too. Need to get back on track!

Ok, I did 4 reps of the inchworm today. I do not like it! Bring back the planks!

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, no? :laugh:

I set up a gym in the old dining room of my house. It took me ages to clear it out. It isn't finished yet, but I've enough space to do my exercises in it. I love it! It is so much fun working out in it. I'm dog sitting at the weekend, so I want to meet all my goals by Friday.

How is everyone else doing? Don't forget, we've 240 minutes of cardio this week.

Go team Carl! :drinker:

Yup, Kasi, send the info on to me and I'll make sure it gets distributed.

I hope you have a great time in Vegas. :flowerforyou:
