    Hello Everyone!
    I was under on my calories.
    Way over on water.
    Free day for me and I will do my Thurs exercises on Sunday.

    Told a friend about MFP tonight. She saw me and asked what I was doing.

    All of my clothes in my closet already fit me differently! I love how my pants and shirts are LONGER as I am shrinking! Always a
    huge plus for tall ladies who can never find tall pants!!!!

    Alrighty..... yesterday was a bust in the exercise dept, believe it or not!
    I DID stay under calories and over water, but did nothing to move my body....it was cement...it just didn't move!
    Soooo, I'm declaring yesterday my rest day and will catch up on the exercises today!

    Omgod....WHY does this next week have to be so brutal? I start school this week! UGH. I'm a bit worried about it. I feel like not only because of sodium, but also because I'm doing a new workout everyday, I'm constantly sore, I'll never lose weight 'cause I'm holding water. GRRRR!

    No beating for you, Cecy! Sherri love the new profile pic! Jill your body was telling you it needed rest I'm sure. The rest of you THANK YOU for the updates!!! I got text updates as well and love how you all stay in contact!

    I stood naked in front of the full length mirror this am and I felt skinny for the first time in 16 years. I still can't believe it's me. Kind of surreal to be quite honest.

    LOVE YOU TEAM PERSEVERANCE!!!!

    Here is today's challenge:

    Day 5 Exercise Challenge – 100 AB Crunches + 50 Burpees (Oh yes they are back) Up/Downs

    I've been trying to settle on a good goal. I don't think that a specific number on the scales or measurement will take care of it. Thanks to Lori's post from earlier, I may have come up with how to set my overall goal, which is to be happy with what I see in the mirror. It's nice to have comments from others, but I want to be happy with me since I know that if I'm not happy with me, I won't be any good to anyone else. :-) Thanks for sharing your victory Lori!

    On a side note, I suprised myself last night by pushing through 200 jumping jacks non-stop, which I wasn't able to do when we began this challenge. Yay!

    P.S.

    I'm finding Wed or Thurs to be my most exhausting days... so exhausting that I don't feel as if I can make it at work all day, which is not an option every week. Wondering what some thoughts are on changing my rest day to mid-week and pushing myself all the way through the weekend. All comments welcome.

    PRAYER REQUEST ***TEAM PERSEVERANCE PLEASE READ*** I've just been contacted by Reesa's husband and EMS took her to the ER today. She is going to be ok but has been put on bed rest for the next 3 days. PLEASE keep her in your prayers and post get well wishes on her wall. Reesa is known as trans4mations on here. I just had her hubby give her a hug and a kiss on the forehead from us. LOVE YOU TEAM!

    Cheryl, you are doing wonderful... I read everything you posted. I'm going to get off here for a bit and pray for Reesa before the Chief's game starts. I always worry about some of the exercises being too much for someone and well now I'm really concerned.

    FROM REESA'S HUSBAND: Reesa says she is proud of you all and that she will be back to the challenge as soon as she can.
