    Today I worked out like crazy! I decided to create an awesome homemade sidewalk off our back deck. I harvested rocks from a mountain near our house. That was alot of up and down the mnt with heavy rocks, then I brought them home unloaded them and got busy digging a trench to put in some boarder bricks I had purchased. I then dug out and arranged the different rocks. I thought I would get alot further but it is about 1/4 of the way done! So I will be back at it probably Monday.

    1606 calories burned today!! Oh Ya!! I am beat!

    1600 cals is fantastic.... Great going... I would burn so much in 3 days time..lol

    Thanks Renu, I paid for it today. LOL I was a bit sore.

    Hi ladies,
    I am so excited about something. My sisters and I are going to be walking in The Light The Night walk in Colorado Springs for Lukemia. I have 5 sisters so we are going to have a great little mini vaca. My brother Kehley was diagnosed with Lukemia when he was 3 and passed when he was 7. We are doing this in his honor. We made t-shirts and put a big picture of him on the back, he looks so cute in it, he was about 4. I am somewhat emotional about this but I know it is a great way to remember his beautiful spirit.
    I have the link for you all to come check out our little team page if you would like.

    I am thankful that I have all of you to not only share this weight loss journey with but also I have you all as my strong and amazing friends.


    My calories burned today where 591, my husband, son and I went on a nice long ride. That was fun. I didn't do any strength today so I will have to double up on it the next few days. Have a great night,
    Karie

    I don't know what my fave part of this. Firstly the fact that you burned over 1600 calories - I am blown away by you! Great job!!! Secondly, the fact that you have a friggin mountain beside you... dang girl. I'm a prairie chick and as much a I appreciate the quiet beauty of the prairies I am so jealous that you have mountains from which you can harvest rocks! Way to go Karie!

    red, green and jalapeno peppers, tomotoes, onion and garlic. sautee with low sodium fajita mix and sprinkle a little cheese on them. warm tortillas in the oven and serve veggie fajita wraps. add a little brown rice and salsa and you got yourself a tasty meal!

    Ladies,

    Here comes my emotional challenge... I thought will post it before my hubby comes in or else he reads my messages...lol..

    I knew about this website through my hubby initially.. But I only used this website to record my calorie intake.. Never even thought of doing any challenge.. This challenge has changed so many things in my routine... I do exercise regularly and i love my exercises these days... It has turned a couch potato to an active lady..lol.. Few times, you feel you want to share your feelings, disappointments, happiness, but you don't find anyone around.. But these days, I have got so many friends and I can just say my heart out.. It really matters to speak out when you are feeling low, and you need some motivation... This is what makes you to stay in the challenge and also stay motivated in the journey of weight loss and adopting a healthy lifestyle...

    My daily routine starts and ends with mfp and all credit goes to this wonderful challenge and the lovely ladies out here... Every week, I look forward to the new challenge and would call it lifestyle makeover..lol
