    Had a great trip! It's a long drive through the state of Ohio to get there, and I got very little sleep (I will be collapsing soon). Only scrapbooked 4 pages in all of the time we were there, but I haven't created anything since May so I was happy with that! lol

    Hi All! Well, I attained about 75% of my goals for this week (Thurs-Sun 60 min. of exercise each day & at/under calorie goal each day).

    I'm feeling a bit sluggish at the moment b/c I had 4 hours of driving yesterday (visiting my sister who lives ~2 hours away).

    Then today, we had another 4 hours of driving to pick up our boys from my in-laws.

    I can't believe tomorrow is the start of week 5!!! Only 3 weeks until Labor Day!!!

    So, in honor of 3 more weeks THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE:

    1. List 3 Reasons Why you want to lose weight/get more active
    2. List 3 habits you are developing to achieve your weight loss/activity goals
    3. What are 3 things you would like to do once you hit your goal weight / fitness level?
    4. What mini-goal would you like to see for yourself at the end of 3 weeks??

    WE'VE GOT THIS TEAM!!! :)

    Hey All, I am on my way out to work so I just wanted to post my weight and points. I'll answer the questions later! So my points this week were 27 it was low b/c I didn't exercise as much as I should have. But my weight us 225.7 so I am down again!!!!! Looking forward to these next weeks I'm only about five pounds from my September goal so if all goes well I can still reach it despite having a bad couple of weeks.

    Weigh in this morning has me down to 166.4! Almost halfway through the 160s now! Woot!

    Not only did I succeed this weekend with my goals, but I even exceeded my exercise goal. I completed the 30 Day Shred while on vacation. I just wish I had tried harder to get more sleep, but 14 women who only see each other once per year aren't worried about sleep.

    My weight didn't change this week. I'm still at 149.

    Challenge Questions:
    1. 3 reasons why I want to lose weight/get more active
    - I didn't like what I saw in the mirror.
    - I hated spending money on clothes that were getting bigger and bigger each season.
    - My family. I want to be there for what ever they may need, be for help or just to have fun.
    2. 3 habits I am developing to achieve this goal.
    - logging my food. I need to see the numbers to make sure I'm on track.
    - being active everyday
    - trying to limit the bad foods- I still eat not so good stuff just not as much as I use to.
    3. 3 things I would like to do once I hit my goal
    - I want to go have some more work done on my back tattoo.
    - I would like to be able to jog a 5k, even if it's just at my local park.
    - I would also like to keep this up. I don't want to get comfortable and gain the weight back.
    4. What is my mini-goal for the end of this challenge?
    - I would like to lose 5 more pounds. I have started back working on the C25K program. I am working on each week till I am comfortable with it not just 3 days like the program is laid out. So I would like to be moving in to week 4 by the end of this.

    So I was researching some different training for running and came across an overtraining article. After reading the article, that seems to be what I have been suffering from, so I am definitely taking this week off through Friday. I hate not getting the points, but I have to do what's best for my body so I can run my 5K in September!
