    It seems like you are really taking time to focus on yourself right now, and that's great!
    Great, yeah. Lonely? Yeah.
    Plus, with the colder, darker weather coming on, motivation can be really hard to find.
    Definitely a factor.

    Thanks for the other suggestions...will consider. And thanks for your input. :smile:

    Sherri - you are one of the reasons why Jill and I took on the August challenge - let alone the September/October!! You were always so active/so positive! You have helped us heaps during our hard times - we hope that we can help you overcome this 'very temporary blip' in your progress!! You have come so far and achieved so much!!

    Look at the bigger picture - where do you want to be??? You can achieve this - promise xx

    I try to be positive and usually am...sometimes I get a little down. I'll be ok. :smile:

    I'm too pooped to pop tonight!! Sooooo, I'm just going to make this short and sweet....I see everbody is kicking booty....although there seems to be a vein of "tired" and "grumpy" running through (including myself to an extent!!)....It's mid-month...we still have barely over 2 weeks left...we can do it!! Just think how energized and "ungrumpy" you'll feel when you actively finish STRONG!!!

    My Day:

    Cals under...check
    Water over...check!
    All Challenge exercises....most difficult...done!!

    I'm off to la-la-land...ready to close my eyes!! Hugs to you all!!

    Hi Team -

    Sorry to report that yesterday (Thursday) was a "fail" for me...but not intentionally so. My boyfriend surprised me by picking me up at work and telling me we were going to a fancy dinner and to the big show in town (Cavalia). We actually had a little rough spot for a bit because he couldn't understand why I was "upset" about the surprise, and I couldn't quite get across to him that I hadn't planned the calories for a splurge. I tried to make good choices at dinner, but then pretty much gave up during intermission at the show. Plus, we didn't get home until almost midnight, so my good intentions of doing the challenge after work also went up in smoke.

    Today, the scale reads 2 lbs heavier and, while I am grateful for the sweet surprise, I'm frustrated that I couldn't keep it together and make better choices. So...time to get back on track! I'll be doing yesterday's and today's challenges after work, and I'm going to try to keep calories low for the rest of the week to compensate.

    Hope everyone is hanging in there this week! :flowerforyou:

    Where a great surprise is just THAT, it really IS hard to operate without a plan isn't it? You DO know that you can make up the exercise part anyway right...or count that as your rest day and do the exercises from yesterday on Sunday! In order for this lifestyle to work, flexibility IS needed...I've found that out many times over...and who could possibly turn down a WONDERFUL surprise from their SO like that? The big part of this to me, Noelle, I your honesty!! If you're not honest about what happened, and have a plan to get back on track, it affects the team, but MOST importantly (by FAR) is it affects YOU!! People that aren't honest about their efforts (or lack thereof) are just fooling themselves and will have NO results!! Sooooo....bottom line, thank you for your honesty, get back on track today, and move on!! You're fine!!! Hugs!

    WOW what a wonderful surprise...hey don't let the weight/scale ruin a WONDERFUL DAY...This is what I often call "real life" in Real life we all fall short every now and again...so don't feel bad...as far as the exercise you can always make that up...and remember even when we do EVERYTHING RIGHT we don't always lose some times we gain...and according to JM (Jillian Michael) we have to trick our bodies every now and again...so count it ALL JOY...Sure hope you enjoyed yourself...and now it's time to put a BIG :happy: SMILE on your FACE for a job well done this week...don't let 1 day off Define who you are, what you've accomplished and where you will be by the end of this challenge. :drinker: :flowerforyou: :smooched:

    Sorry for posting late for yesterday but I have a good reason. Just spent the last 11 hours in the Hospital ER, what a zoo that place can be on a Friday night. So I'll be hobbling along for a bit, ended up with 35 stitches in my foot. Hubby;s skill saw picked a fight with my foot and I think it won. On the good note I get to go shoe shopping.

    So Friday's results

    water over
    calories under
    plane B done.

    Not sure what I'll get done in the next couple of days but I'll try. Off to bed and drug induced dreams.
