Hello teammates,
I have a split second here. I want to thank everyone for the support and prayers. I can not express how much it means to me to have you all supporting me. My daughter is in need of all of the prayers that she can get.
I am so emotional these days, so I may type things that don't make sense. I could not stop crying today. My daughter got worst lastnight. I will update her caring bridge later. I completed todays challenges. Too far under calories. My appetite sucks right now.
Anina, yes you can do the 5k/funraiser for my daughter.
TTYL. She is in pain and I just want to hold her, but I can't because of the pain:sad: God, help us!!!!0 -
Nica my prayers will be with you and you family. I am so sorry for the trials you are having to go through. You are such a strong and amazing person. God Bless!0

Nica praying for "Dee", you and your family today. TY so very much for the update. It's killing my heart that she is in pain today. I've asked others to start praying as well.

Just checking in before I hit the sack and start over again tomorrow. Over on water, under on calories, tabata, bear walk, and Bushmen challenges completed. Tomorrow I will attempt a 5k
I had everyone in the house do the bear walk with me tonight...yes, for 5 min. my husband, son, daughter, and two of my teenagers were all bear walking in a big circle through the living room and around the dining room table. :laugh:
I hope you all sleep well tonight and get good rest for the week ahead.
Good night and God Bless each and every one of you, Marie 0 -
Lori not sure how to add the points.
I did all challenges, low on calories, super high on water, I did 10 miles today.. Can you add the points so I can look at them and figure out how I should put it.0 -
Hi all! It's the end of the third day of a week long survival with the in-laws in town. Today's challenge was that they wanted to go to Taste of Colorado - where I was surrounded by fair food. But I was victorious! I stayed away from the fried goodies and had some wild boar and some alligator (gotta love CO!) instead - Yummy!
Way over on my water, under on my calories, exercises finished. Good night!0 -
Hi All,
Today was a fabulous day!:glasses: Went to dinner with friends tonight and knew that sushi would be a feast. Limited myself to 2 rolls and 2 tobiko and 2 bites of hubby's cheesecake (so delish) and I was still under calories. Then we went to the carnival and that's where I saw it... the Waffle Cone Sundae vendor. OMG!!!:noway: I walked up to it, looked at the menu, smelled the fabulous scents coming from the homemade waffle cones and... yep. I did it...I WALKED AWAY!!!:drinker: :bigsmile: I was so proud.
I can not believe that I walked 4 miles today. 1.5 for regular exercise and 1.5 for the challenge and 1 for the team challenge. Did the Jumping Jacks (ICK) split squats, crunches and bear crawl too. Under calories and over water for the day too. (Due to the soy sauce, I better be over water for the next week!)
Hope everyone had a great day.
P.S. - Nica, I am saying prayers and thinking of you and yours!! XOXO0 -

Hello Beautiful People!

Tomorrow is hump day which means the week will be half over and we need to get out there and push hard :bigsmile: My family and close friends have our annual beach trip for a week at Myrtle Beach the week of the 18th and I need to loose at least 3 pounds before then and the more the better So let's start a new day and live it like there's no tomorrow :drinker:
Good night all and sweet dreams! Marie 0 -
What a long day this has been! Whew! I hope everyone is doing well. I'm headed to bed, but pygmy challenges done plus extra mile, over water and way under cals.
Love and hugs to all. Goodnight.0 -
Hi All,
Not a very good day for me today. So tired. Was up at 3:30am after going to bed at 11:30pm. Then back to bed at 5:30am and back up at 7:15am. Just sluggish, but shall be better tomorrow. I vow to get sleep tonight!! Challenge done, regular exercise done, extra mile done, under calories (barely but under) and over water. Hope everyone had a great day!!0 -
Hey everyone!
Just not long ago got home and I'm about to hit the sack. Today and for the rest of the month I'll be a Pygmy however, I'll be kickin' it off with a TABATA workout.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DfuU3TSsFM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
1 min bear walk, 50 crunches, 100 jump jacks, 25 split squats
2 miles
Really hoping to have a chance to fill you all in on the morrow. Until then, keep up the AWESOME WORK! xx0 -
Had a fantasy football draft, amazing dr. appointment, super ultra cranky wife, and I still found time for all the challenges :-)0

Sorry I didn't check in yesterday - I had friends move here from SC yesterday and the in-laws are still in town (they leave tomorrow night, so I'll be able to get back into my normal routine).
I was WAY over in water and just barely under on calories. Did my pygmy exercises - feeling it in my arms today! - and walked a 5k in the cute little town of Nederland.
Since I haven't been home to cook for myself, I've been trying to make good decisions at restaurants. It's been successful most of the time. But yesterday, we went to an italian place and I ate some meatballs. I had stomach pain beyond belief last night! Most horrible thing I've gone through in a while. I guess my body just won't put up with crappy food any more!
Feeling better this morning and ready to tackle the day! Happy Wednesday, all!0 -
I'm down another pound this am!!! Woo Hoo!!! I have a busy morning so just popping in here to post this then I will be back to talk some more about everyone's posts!

Sending love and good thoughts to everyone as my day ends and your day begins!!0 -
Hello everyone,
Sorry that I was not able to log stop by yesterday. Dee had a bad night the night before and lastnight, but I decided I needed to read some positive stuff, so I am just peeking my head in. I did not exercise yesterday, but completed under calories and over in water.
I have completed my stuff for today. I am having more and more migraines each day. I know that it is probably stress. I really don't get a chance to leave her room, often. I leave for about an hour and a half, then I am back. She is so drugged, that I don't want to leave her alone for more than 10 minutes, but someone sits in with her for that hour and a half. I am finding it hard to walk out the door to go do anything. I feel like something will happen if I leave:frown: . I know that I have to stay positive, but it is so hard when your baby is laying in the bed, helpless. She is shaking uncontrollably and her heart rate is through the roof. The doctors said that this is all apart of receiving the stem cell transplant. Hopefully soon she will start to recover and move on to the next phase.
I hope all is well with everyone. I feel so bad that I haven't had the time to get to personally thank everyone and to respond to your comments:frown: . I am looking forward to being in this for the long hauls, so please don't give up on me:flowerforyou:

Nica
We will never give up on you. I am always here and I've posted my cell, you are more than welcome to text or call if you ever just need a scream break.
I can understand what you are going through somewhat as I was a "miracle" baby to my parents. My first day on this planet I took 3 ambulance rides and a helicopter ride. I was 3 months premature and was not expected to live and if I did I was probably not going to have a great quality of life. Mom and Dad were very upset because all these hospitals told them they can't do anything. I finally got flighted by a helicopter to a Children's Mercy Center where I spent a long time at before they could take me home or hold me. Mom said she just always stayed strong and never gave up. Things work out!
God will never put you in a situation you can't handle. You are so strong Nica, it's one of those times you might not be able to see it but everyone here on the outside looking in are so amazed. I am very proud to be on a team with such amazing people. I pray for you and yours several times a day. May Gods grace shine down on you!0 -

Nica
Tribe, first off I want to thank everyone who has posted in here. I deeply appreciate you being committed to this challenge. Most of you seem to be doing quite well. I say most because a few I haven't touched base with enough and I need to make it a priority over the next couple of days to connect with each of you one on one.
Nica, I am so sorry from the depths of my soul that you and your precious child are being tested and put through the flames. I remember when Noah got ran over and the hospital in our town could only stabilize him so he could go on to Children's Mercy. The screams of intense pain and they said they could give him nothing until he made it to the city. It was like living inside a horror flick. Your situation is a thousand times worse than mine was. I know you wish it on no parent. Please ALWAYS feel free to not only vent but to ask us for prayer. Again my cell is 417-217-0625. I don't care if it is 3am if you or your child needs prayer CALL ME. I will GLADLY get on my knees and spend time petitioning Our Father to intervene.
I am exhausted. I am following the Bushmen series but right now I am realizing I might have to do Pygmy 2 days a week. I ran a 5K by the airport this am and it was a nice calm jog. I worked my @%#$ off today and got in a little over 90 min. But yet it says I only burned less then 600 calories. No way that is possible. I'm a noodle right now. Oh well.
Love you Tribe and I will be off and on for the rest of the day!
STAY MOTIVATED! STAY POSITIVE! AND PLEASE KEEP ENCOURAGING ONE ANOTHER!!!!

Nica, please know that you are not alone. You know, I don't know the perfect words to say to you right now to comfort you during this difficult time. But, I know how to pray! I have been interceding on your behalf!
