BLACK TEAM CHALLENGE WEEK 9

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:

~Roni

Roni, my friend is into tennis and keeps inviting me to shag her balls(:blushing: that sounds BaD) anyway I have agreed to go tomorrow...lets see if I survive!

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.

I have SO much to say, but I'm having one of those "every time I sit down, someone else needs something or we need to go somewhere type of days. BAH!

Anyways, I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE TENNIS! I haven't been able to play in a few years. I played varsity 3 years in high school & was top singles player my senior year. How I miss it. :sad: I wanna come with!

I actually pulled out my high school tennis skirt a couple weeks ago. It wasn't too pretty, but it WAS on...the button was questionable, but it was ON! :laugh: In the spirit of shagging balls, tennis players usually keep balls in their panties. LOL Seriously! We had "briefs" that we wore under our tennis skirts with pockets in them...therefore...balls in panties. Nothin' quite like pulling a ball out from under your skirt. HA!

You'll have a BLAST Jeannie & Roni! And if you don't...well....quite frankly....we can't be friends any more. hehehe

Tresa - I miss dancing, too. These dang kids are holding me back! :laugh: Everytime you talk about it, I just want to find a class somewhere. I laughed when you were talking about the lindy b/c I figued not many people would know. I have childhood memories of my dance instructor singing "lindy to the left & an lindy to the right." Blah blah blah blah blah. Good times.

Shuntae - GOOD job on the low diet soda intake! Once I quit my "addiction" it was easy to stay away from. Once in a while (like with pizza) I'll have one. I'm so proud of you!

Lori - Jeannie is right! Epsom salts are the place to be! I used to soak in them all the time when I waited tables. Sooo soothing for tired muscles. Don't regret it! Just recover & do some more! :bigsmile: (says the girl who's one new thing was lack of mayo on a burger :laugh:)

Hello, Marla, Anna, Sam, Andrew, Amanda, Amelia (saw you, chicky!), Lynnie, Bobbi, Laura and all y'all!! I could write a novel right now, but the baby just woke up & people are looking at me to make a decision about what to make for dinner. Awesome. :grumble:

Later, friends!

5 6 7 8 Da Duh Da Duh. :laugh: It's like they ran out of funny words for steps. LOL

She also decided to take thursday, Friday, Saturday and sunday off and it just happens to be bike week here HOW EFFIN CONVENIENT!!!! Did I tell you how much I EFFIN HATE HER!!!! :bigsmile:

to heck with:


Let's fling some of this!

hey, just check this. i went from obese to overweight with our last weigh in. :blushing: I still hate the BMI for short ppl. though.

WOO HOO!!!! I celebrated with an apple for ya!!:drinker: :drinker:

Lets see.......

Tresa, you are so making me want to go to another dance class. Latin dance is very popular here so unless I want to dance with great grandpa and piss off great grandma.....I better stick to Salsa!

Sara-I am not sure I want to shag balls for my friend anymore! In her pants???? I am not that kind of girl!
She has severely sprained her ankle a few months ago and is missing tennis. If she can serve and me chase them down (shag) the balls and hit them back to her, she will love it.

Sam-I am so sorry! I know how you feel about work, it sux when there is a bee otch in the house!

So funny she is out for bike week hmmmmmmmmmmmm must be nice.
You have been working out a LOT could that be why you are gaining? Are your pants tight? I bet they are looser, right??

Hi Janie, good to see ya! Thanks for the sweet shout out, your words helped me thru a bad time.

I'm looking forward to doing the BlackTeam challenges but only weigh in once a month so won't be an official weigh-in member but an unoffical offical member:laugh: (soon as I get my ID card in the mail from Jeannie:noway: )

E

Hasnt gotten there yet? I will have to check the mail room:huh:

Evening folks.


Sam-Sorry the weight it being stubborn and the cupboards are bare and your boss is a jerk. Your a great teammate and friend and if you have taught me one thing it's that for every valley we find ourselves in there is a mountain top just down the road. You've climbed alot of mountains to get here and I know the scale will move again.

Sarah- Man you are a busy woman lol.

Elisabeth (fitness chic)-You are hereby required to be an honorary member of this team.

Jeannie and Lynn-I LOVE TENNIS. been a long time since I have played. You guys will love it.

Tresa- Sounds like you really enjoy your dance class! I would love to do a class with Beth but the kids and work keep us sooooo busy. Want to know a scary confession that very few men would be willing to make..... I have 5 years of Tap and 4 years of Jazz under my belt. and yes dancing is GREAT excercise.

Roni- You should be getting a little suprise in the mail any day now

Well it's just about time for me to head off to the gym. I will talk to you all later!

Peace out girl scouts!
