CAN YOU TASTE THAT GOAL?!?!?!? YOU'RE ALL WITHIN JUST TEN POUNDS OF MAKING IT!!!!


How did everyone do with the JJKicks?!? I know my rearend is definitely feeling it

How about breakfast? Did you get it in there everyday? Eat like a king? Or maybe a prince?

We are just about 8 weeks out from our big day and we seem to be losing more and more people each week I hope this is because of the busy-ness of this time of year or vacations or something of the sort. If there's something wrong with the challenge, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know!!!!!! You can message me personally or just post it here.

I haven't heard too much feedback on the challenges so I don't know if they're working for you or not. Are the physical challenges too much? Not enough? Boring? Same thing with the physical challenges. What are your feelings on them?

My goal was to expose each of you to new exercises, different thought processes, ideas you may not have thought of trying before, and to reconnect with yourselves. If there is something that you would like to see, again just let me know!

PHYSICAL CHALLENGE
Ok, so I am also a part of another challenge and recently did a mini-workout that I really enjoyed and felt it worked my whole body. So I am going to borrow some of it for this challenge and I hope you like it just the same. Remember, you can always up the reps or make adjustments as necessary.

50 jumping jacks
40 crunches/sit ups
30 squats
20 seconds of plank
10 push ups

Your challenge is to do this once a day, all week, everyday Yeah, I said it, EVERYDAY!!! The whole set takes about 15-20 minutes when done all together. And that's what I'm hoping you can do. Try to do the whole thing all together and you will REALLY feel the burn! If you need to break it up, do what you need to but push yourself to do more.

PERSONAL CHALLENGE
Look at yourself... Go ahead, I'll wait............ You back? Ok good... What did you see? Did you see the same person you were 16 weeks ago? Or did you see a different person looking back at your in that mirror? I'm not just talking about weight loss here. Each one of you has made some kind of change over the last three months. What are yours?

Now go back to that mirror and say something to your new self. Tell yourself something that you're proud of. Tell yourself how DAMN GOOD you look. Tell yourself how incredible you are because.... well..... YOU ARE!

Go look in the mirror and tell yourself something positive, and do it everyday....

As always, love you all!!! Have a great week!!!

    Hey all-
    Have managed to stay on track all week with my weight watchers. I am eating as clean as I can...not 100%...but have been eating more fruit...cooking lean meats with veges and not going to the cafeteria. Haven't had a processed lunch yet!!! Had some pretzel mm's...but worked them into my points.
    Jen...thanks for all the work on this group. I'm not the best with the physical challenges...but have done some of them. Appreciate you organizing all of this. Hope your job situation improves here!!!!
    Waves to everyone...have a good evening.

    Yay for groups.

    So, I binged tonight (like really really bad). I am so stressed and my emotions are running rampant (not to mention that TOM is coming soon), so food is always my fall back. I had been getting so much better at this.... until now. :sad: This just makes me feel even more anxious now.

    I really just feel like curling up into a ball and sleeping for the next month to avoid all of the work, all of the pain, all of the anxiety, and all of the hopelessness I am feeling right now. I don't want to be a downer but I have slowly been slipping into this funk for a few weeks now (and I do NOT just mean about eating/exercising... I mean my entire mood is like below the ground right now. :brokenheart: :ohwell:

    I mean, this is nothing new. This happens frequently in my life (I know, not good). But, it just takes me a while to find a way to pull myself back up...

    Until then, I apologize for my dreariness. :frown:

    Jen- Thank you for the challenges and the chart. I am sorry I forgot to weigh myself last week. I know I am going to be up again.

    I am struggling to get back in the habit of going to the gym and I am eating way to much left over Halloween candy. Have a great night. :)

    Done both challenges this morning plus 30 DS level 2 and an hour walk on the common with the dog.

    Watched myself in the mirror while doing 30 DS (a big one over the fireplace in the living room) and was pleased to see a lot less jiggling going on. I'm really starting to see in the mirror the image of myself that I have wanted in my head.

    I'll probably do another set ofthe physical challenge as I'm enjoying it this week.

    I lost my voice while teaching yesterday so I bee-lined it to the clinic after school was over. -- Upper respitory infection... After picking up the Rx & calling to get a sub & heading back to school to make the sub plans, I didn't get home until almost 9 pm. By then the bed was calling my name so much more than supper was so I ended way under my calorie count yesterday. Today the plan is to rest my voice and take my meds & hopefully be back in gear tomorrow. It is a pain to get a sub,:grumble: but so nice to have a day to myself :love: so I think I should definitely focus on the positive and enjoy today. I will worry about school tomorrow. :glasses:

    I almost forgot to share the NSV at the doctor's office. When the nurse asked the dreaded, "How much do you weigh?" 184 sounded so much better than the past's 220. I was like almost shocked to hear it come out of my mouth. Like I had told a whopper of a lie, but no - It was way closer to the truth than the past answer had been. While waiting for the doctor I decided to check my weight on my DL. I am happy to report that my DL weight is also a lie because now I do not weigh as much as what it is reporting.:heart::flowerforyou: :heart:
