    SweetToothMelissa stated on the previous thread (for this week)....

    I wasn't home to weigh in the morning...I was still in Florida, and even when I weighed in when I got home I was still up a bit :(
    Today I was under calories and had 8 cups of water. Didn't do my exercises tonight but I plan on doing day 1 and 2 tomorrow. I am back from vacation and ready to get back on track!!

    MONDAY SEPTEMBER 26th,

    Hi guys, I'm back to finish September and continue in October!

    I wasn't here those past days, because I had alot going on lately...

    - Too much photoshoot contracts (Vanessa Paradis, Johnny Depp wife, 2 other movie premiers) plus my full time other job.
    - Boxe, tennis and cake decorating lessons for a total of 4 nights/week...
    - Learn the unexpected death of a friend
    - Organized a surprise birthday party for my boyfried
    - Food for 30 persons for the party

    Well, I know theres no good reason to didn't give you news from me, but I guess a lost my fitness priorities over those. Sorry guys to letting you and me down.

    BUT, Monday, I did :

    DAY 1
    Walk 3.1 Miles = OK
    100 Jumping Jacks = OK
    100 Crunches = OK
    40 Toe Touches = OK
    5 burpees = OK
    ABS CHALLENGE 100 / 400
    WATER OVER 10 = OK
    CALORIES = Busted :cry:

    Do we send the postcard to the winner of the past weeks?

    Glad to be back on track,

    Catherine :love:

    @cath - YES! I think that's a great idea since we had 2 new people join us last week - I was trying to figure out a way to make it even for them in the contest - SO THANKS for suggesting this !!


    Winner of week #3 was SweetToothMelissa :flowerforyou: - everyone else needs to send her a post card via the US Mail !!
    Winner of week#4 was stevemillar :drinker: - everyone else needs to send him a post card via the US Mail !!


    @steve and Melissa - If you do not want to post your address on the thread, then you can send it to us via private messages..... below I have listed the names of our 'active' team members. (Or, if you trust me, you can send it to me and I will get it out to all the team members - it doesn't matter to me which way you want to do it).

    Forgot to log last night......

    Under calorie goal
    10 glasses of water
    100 Jumping Jacks - done
    100 Crunches - done
    40 Toe Touches - done
    5 burpees - done (ugh!)
    (didn't get to walk because it was raining)

    Tonight.....

    sad to report, I went OVER calorie goal :sad:
    10 glasses of water
    45 swimmer presses - done
    45 wood chops - done
    45 of the 21’s - done
    45 lawnmowers - done

    I also got in the 5k today spread out over 3 different walks.... sheesh!!

    Went to my first tap dance class tonight..... FUN!!! I think I'm going to like it! :wink:

    I'm also starting to put together the challenge for October - so be thinking about if you want to go another month.... let me know. I think I am going to change things up quite a bit and use google docs so you can all enter your own weight and points for the challenges on the "shared" spreadsheet. You can check it out here if you want to get a sneak peak... (remember, I'm still putting it all together)...... also, any ideas would be greatly appreciated. :drinker:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuNcw4U_pKc-dGV0QkxhdVA3SEFmTGlaajR4MkN5V0E&hl=en_US

    I'm thinking that I'm going to branch away from doing the set exercises and just set calorie (burned) goals. That way, you can do whatever exercises you want to do - and just report the total calories burned for that day. The "goals" will obviously increase each week.

    anyways, more to come......

    everybody kept giving me food at work today. it was like a conspiracy! I got home with very few calories left. it will be interesting to see how that goes.

    my exercising is totally messed up. I will try and make it up this week.

    WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28TH,

    I went to a funeral yesterday to say goodbye to a friend who passed away. He was 40, had cholesterol and high pressure and didn't take seriously the doctor and the pills he was suppose to take... He had an heart stroke and died alone at home untill a week later he was found dead by policeman.

    I'm sharing this story for 2 reasons:

    1- Never take for granted the one you loves and show them that you love them while they are around. Enjoy life!

    2- We are all here for the same reason: lose weight. But we shoud do it of course to look better, but the main focus should be to stay healthy as long as possible. We only have one body and should take care of it carefully to stay with the one we loves as long as possible.

    Take care! Cath :flowerforyou:

    DAY 3
    Walk 3.1 Miles = OK
    100 Jumping Jacks = OK
    100 Crunches = OK
    40 Toe Touches = OK
    5 burpees = OK
    ABS CHALLENGE 400 / 400
    WATER OVER 10 = OK
    CALORIES = OK

    Hey all,

    Sorry, this has been a busy week for me...new pc YES!!! Just in time for mid terms...grrr. Even tho I haven't been on here doesn't mean that I have let myself forget about the team or the challenges (competitive streak in me won't let me ;p). I have been under calories all week, drank enough water to fill a good sized pool (Mon- 13; Tues-11; Wed-14 and today so far-10) and have done the exercises for week 4 ..yes all of them!

    I have only gotten through Monday and Tuesday of week five, but look out...I am so gonna win this week!!

    See ya in a day or so :)
