Black Team Challenge Week 4

PSH! I'm sick of all the whining! Spend a week in 20 something below with a 40 something below windchill and then complain. :sick:

It's supposed to get to 30 here this week and we consider it a heat wave. :laugh:

Got this challenge figured out. I'll take my scale down to fed ex and ship it to myself with instructions not to deliver until january 27th. Yah yah that will work! Excellent. * evil maniacal laughter

Jeannie - this is so awesome... :laugh: :laugh:

It's incredible-- Make-a-Wish foundation sent us there back in 2005, all 9 of us at the time, for an all expenses paid trip for 10 days for my daughter who had diabetes. She wished for a "Hawaii Brady Bunch Vacation" for our family-- it was unreal. All of us-- all expenses paid.

We felt undeserving at the time, since we didn't think diabetes was really "life threatening." That was before she was in pediatric intensive care for 3 days last year, in grave condition following a "DKA" episode-- diabetic ketoacidosis. We nearly lost her-- so we didn't feel so bad, in retrospect, accepting the wish.

Later-- the Phantom. :happy:

I have almost everyones numbers as soon as I get onto the laptop I will send it out!!!

Edit: it's up and it looks like we won again. We are just waiting for the red team to post and I am waiting on a few more people but that's no different from any other week.

Good luck to all who will be participating. I however know I cant do it.
I will continue to measure every single thing, and work out 6 days a :drinker: week.

I'm a little proud of me. I am in week 5, column 3 of the 200 sit up challenge. I did an exhaustion test and I can do 111 consecutive crunches. I also took a deep breath and went to the Y for orientation. Yes it was hard for me to take that step but I did it. Unfortuantly she had to teach a class but we set an appointment for 10 am Saturday morning.
And I accidently lost a pound this week. :laugh:

Lynnie you are kicking those crunches BUTT!! Good for you! Now take us with you to the gym so you wont be alone. I promise you everyone there will be just like you, taking care of themselves so they can be healthier!

:flowerforyou: Jeannie

ahhhh this is going to be so hard. i like checking it at least every other day

I need to put my post it note back on. Zeke took it off this morning...you know...while he was flushing my contacts down the toilet. :mad:

I'm surprised that boy hasn't tried to flush HIMSELF down the toilet! :laugh:

Oh Sarah, I am so glad that you found your contacts, I am lost without mine and I have glasses also. Hate them!

Marla, Make-A-Wish is a great foundation and I am glad to hear that your daughter pulled through last year. That must have been really scary. Our youngest automatically qualifies for a wish but being 4 years old I have no idea what to wish for her and she doesn't communicate it is a little hard for her to tell me or them.

The weather is awful here too. on the way back from water aerobics it was spitting freezing rain. There is so much ice here, it is hard to get from one place to another. I haven't seen it over 30 for awhile now.

This morning my scale was mocking me, calling my name. I think I should just avoid the room it is in for awhile. That is great because it is in the laundry room, so no laundry for a week. WOO-HOO!!!!

Go get them Team Black!

Dave said he weighs in every morning so this challenge is going to be hard for him. He didn't appreciate seeing this when he got home yesterday.

So I'm not the only one without self control? :laugh:

Mine is in my upstairs bathroom so I don't see it ALL the time...but I think I hear it. It's calling my name! :laugh: Tell Dave that I feel his pain!

Did I ever tell you how funny I think it is that your "join date" under your av says Oct. 2005? That cracks me up every single time I see it.

Okay so I had a lack of motivation for the first, oh say, 3 years on here. I've always entered my food but I'd eat like 3000 a day. I finally started actually watching after Harley was born in Sept 2008. I know, pretty sad that after 3 years on here, I've only lost 10 pounds. :laugh:

I joined so far back that you used to have to PAY for MFP. I took the deal of $21 for 3 months.

Seriously?! I thought it was some type of glitch! LOL I think you are the oldest member of MFP that is still here! Congrats! That seriously has me giggling over here. Too funny!

I think it's funny when people ask for advice from the veterans because I've been here forever but like I said I've only actually been watching since having Harley.

I've wanted to quit and rejoin so my date isn't 2005 but I don't want to have to re-enter all the food diary I've built up. :laugh:
