    Took me all week just to lose what I gained but I would rather be the same than gain!

    Maria: 0.8 is super good for a vacation. And it is already lost, so congratulations to you :)

    It was 88F today over here, attempted to run, but just couldn't. It is so funny, I ran through a Canadian Winter, and warm weather shows itself and I am incapacitated. Let's hope I get used to it!

    I was looking at week 3, and found the info on her blog, here is a copy/paste

    WEEK 3 - 15th - 21st April

    OWLs - 2 per day for each day you complete the following, 1 per day if you make

    10,000 steps a day. If you have a pedometer / fit bit etc, use that. Otherwise on average, 10,000 steps is around 30-60 minutes of walking a day. 2 Owls if you achieve 10,000 steps or 45 mins of walking a day / 1 OWL if you make 5,000 or 23 mins.

    NEWTs - 1 Point per day for each day you do the following:

    Water - take 1 NEWT for every day you hit your eight glasses of water.

    Hey all. Just wanted to let you know that I am going to be leaving the group. For a while at least. I am moving at the end of June to be with my fiance who I met here on MFP. I am working 7 or more shifts per week to make as much money as I can before then and with trying to keep getting my exercise in to maintain my weight I don't have much time to do any extra as far as participation and keeping track of newts, owls, etc. Last week I had 4 nights where I only got 4 hours of sleep.
    I will see about coming back after I move, hopefully. It should calm down after that. lol You all take care and keep kicking butt. Good luck with your goals and efforts.

    Hope you've all been doing well, I've been super super busy with work this week, my bosses have been over from head office and I've had board meetings galore!

    I can't believe it's Thursday already! Where has the week gone?

    I've been so slack with my exercise this week - next week I am going to pre-plan my weeks food menu and exercise and stick to it regimented! I have a wedding to attend in two weeks and want to drop some pounds before then!

    im dying to step on the scale. ive really felt like ive lost some weight. probably not alot but something. and i really want to step on it now but im stopping myself. indulged in mcdonalds today but not how i usually do. still too much but im working on it. i still have enough to eat a small dinner though so i'm happy. and i havent touched potato chips in WEEKS. im so very happy and im trying. once our living room gets done being rearranged ill have my treadmill back also. havent been able to do exercise on that so im trying to do other stuff, yard work, cleaning, hardcore gardening and my work each day to kind of keep some calories off.

    However I've made my 10,000 steps & water almost every day, woo!

    Happy weekend to you too!

    How is everyone doing anyway? It's all got quiet in here again, what can we do to get us all motivated (and talking!) again?
