    So, my '5k' turned into a 1.5miles walk/run..:frown: . appearently only those who signed up for the competitive run get to do the whole 5k, everyone else does the 1.5...I didn't find out until after reaching the 1.5mile marker when they said 'all walkers you are done, please go inside, all runners, men to the right, women to the left' :grumble: Gee thanks for being clear about this on the flyer that I got.. and let's face, everyone looks forward to those race day tee's..a trophy tee if you will..You guessed it, again, only the 'runners' get one. :grumble: Everyone else gets a reusable shopping bag promoting the place and has nothing to do with the 5k on it, not that I won't use it, but still. A little annoyed but it will pass. Just wished they were better organized. Now, cappuccino, cheese potatoes, and a fire for the night.:ohwell: I'm really looking forward to the 5k in March, because I KNOW it's an actual 5k :drinker: Enjoy your weekend all!!

    How annoying!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you enjoyed your cappuccino, cheese potatoes and fire.

    I'm off out to get some new trainers (for when I start the c25k), there's a Starbucks nearby and my girlies have 'insisted' we go in!!! Would be rude not to!

    Don't worry, I plan on working off the calories this afternoon!

    I am down to 185.6. I haven't exercised like I was prior to the Christmas break, but I think it has to do with getting back into the routine. Water intake has been at the recommended 8 glasses, and I only had two soft drinks for the week! Was given some new obstacles on Thursday and considering everything I feel I did pretty good. Weight loss is very difficult and the max I can loose in a week is 2 lbs so I am pretty close! Starting Tuesday I ate a fruit and veggie every day. This replaced my usual lunch, and I am glad for the change!

    oh dear oh dear oh dear...i am NOT doing well!! I'm assuming it's because of my burger, beer, and fries yesterday (my cheat meal) but I weighted in at a pound heavier today! AHHHHH! So, rule #1 - don't weigh in day after cheat meal. Rule #2 - Limit cheat meal next week so Monday weigh in is better! :)

    Hope you all had a great weekend and a have a great week...

    Mid Challenge weigh-in. I've lost .8 lbs since last week. I'm hoping to be able to kick it up a notch this week because I'm starting Zumba on Thursday and will be taking a 4 hours snowshoe hike on Saturday.

    Mid-challenge weigh-in I am up +2.5 lbs... thank you TOM bloat and a couple birthdays. My birthday was on saturday and I just threw the weekend in (minus the hike I did on saturday). Some of that is water weight, I think a little might be from cake and other goodies :laugh:

    This week should be fairly good for me, only thing lined up is a bridal shower on friday for a co-worker.

    I plan on walking outside (weather permitting) at least 3x each week, FINISHING the 5k I'm attending this coming Saturday and making sure my water stays at 12 8oz glasses every day. :heart: Bru

    SO, my 5k was only a half, but not my fault as they didn't tell us til I was finishing my first lap, very annoyed! I walked outside last Mon (2x) Tue and Wed and then again Sat. This week is much colder, and we're actually waiting for snow anytime now, so, I'm gonna stick to Leslie Sansone and Just Dance this week. My water has been on track EVERYday too :)

    Keep at it all, you're doing great!
