    Is it bad to regret one of my new things? From all the squats and lunges from doing the Biggest Loser workout yesterday, my legs are aching today. I walked downstairs just now and Dave said, "Don't you look like death warmed over?" Thanks honey! :huh:

    No Loree, it is not bad. I am regreting the weight lighting. I must have started with too heavy weights because I can hardly move my arms and it has been like this for two days. I am going to recover completely before I try again with ligther weights. I am sorry that you are "looking bad" :laugh:

    She sounds like the lady from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. :laugh: Love that movie.

    See, Jeannie! You ARE trying new things & you ARE moving forward! You're doing great & that ticker moved I see! WOO HOO! *hugs* I'll envision your trainer the next time I'm doing my sculpting routine...maybe I'll manage a grunt. :wink:

    Finished typing finally...starving...heading for food and to my motherless children.:noway:

    I had a DREAM about him last night:blushing: I have never been one to watch a movie more than once, and usually cant sit thru it the first time.

    But My Big Fat Greek Wedding I can watch once a month!! I love him and she is a perfect normal woman!

    Oh, my gosh, yes-- I loved him on Northern Exposure, even though the show was stupid-- loved him on the one episode I saw of Sex in the City-- hated that show, loved him--

    He's a total, TOTAL cutie.

    Come on Loree...no pain, no gain.....you're doing great!

    And death warmed over is infinitely better than just plain death......see? Bright side, right there. So, you have that going for you.

    Just call me Marla Sunshine....:wink:

    Hi everyone! I just wanted to check in long enough to tell what Ive been doing new for this challenge so far...Yesterday I did a different strength training dvd, totally kicked my butt!:laugh: Last night I ate a piece of my yummy (and very missed around here lol) southern fried chicken:noway: yes...even with the yummy crusty skin on it lol. It was soooo good, but I only had the 1 piece:drinker: Ok, maybe that doesnt count as doing something new in this challenge lol.:blushing: As soon as the weather warms up a little bit Im going to be giving tennis a try. Already bought my racket and tennis balls and all ready to go! Oh---MINUS the cute little tennis skirts lol. Not quite ready for that yet:noway: Hang in there everyone and have a great weekend:flowerforyou:

    Hey y'all! Just wanted to check in to say hi. :happy:

    The challenge is going really well for me, as I've gotten all three of my new things done. 1) Tried a new class at the gym; 2) Used a new flavor of Mrs. Dash for the chicken I cooked last night - Tomato Basil Garlic. Yummy stuff; 3) PB & J sandwich for lunch today using natural PB. I bought it a while back to make some Weight Watchers PB cookies and I thought it was gross after being used to the regular stuff. Now that I've been eating Simply Jif, I figured I would try it again and it wasn't too bad. Maybe I will try to use it more often.

    Yesterday, I had my first diet soda in nearly two weeks with my lunch yesterday. It tasted really good, but was so not worth the headache I ended up with. So, unless I buy the cases and take it to work with me, I will not be having soda at work. The only caffeine free options are not diet, and I don't really like regular soda. Back to my low-to-no caffeine life...it really isn't bad at all!

    Hope everyone is having a great Saturday!

    :heart: to you all.

    Do the stretch portion of one of your videos
    and
    warm/hot bath with epsom salts

    That got me up and walking again!:flowerforyou:

    Tee hee :laugh: :blushing: :laugh:

    I haven't played tennis in probably 27 years. I should try it again ... it was fun once I figured out how to keep my eyes focused on the ball so I could actually hit it once in a while.
