Congratulations to all those who met their mini goals. Don't feel bad if you didn't because some of you were SO CLOSE. Be kind to yourself if you feel far behind, you are still here, trying so hard every single day and every new day gives a new chance to meet the next one.
I've been having some rough days I have been going strong since January 31, 2012 and have nearly lost 40 pounds. In the past week I have been struggling so much and am starting to feel that crap feeling of ' i don't care ' when I really DO !! Truth be known My Grandma and My Mom have cancer, one is worse than the other and I feel like I've been managing / coping pretty well. Something happened Friday night and I've been binging ever since. Eating so much I've almost puked. I don't understand the self sabotage. I still lost a pound from last week, but before the Friday I had lost a BIGGER amount but because of the binging it all went horribly wrong. I tried my hardest to be on track yesterday ( Monday ) and failed. I'm up today, on track and I guess I will just pray and PRAY I can get through today without a slip. It's almost like when I'm on track I can cope better, when I fall off track I can't cope at all, I cry all the time and shove my face with food. I've been trying SO hard to change that person, the person who binges when things go wrong. I want to be the person who is healthy, who understands that she FEELS BETTER putting good things in her body. WHY is that SO hard to DO ? Since Friday I have felt like I have a carb baby, a carb hangover, I just want to sleep and eat and not get dressed and feel like crap. Is that what I REALLY WANT ??? Ummm NOOOOOO ... so why the HECK am I doing that ? God, help me !!!!!! Pray for me ? Get me through today, BIG STRONG GIRL ......................
I can do this.

I CAN DO THIS !!!

For a second, I'm gonna go back to a previous challenge. I'm a firm believer in drinking plenty of water daily to help cleanse any toxins out of your body, so lets get those 8+ cups daily


Onward we go...

This is my favourite challenge...when Kristen made it a challenge in our first week I really tried to get that water in. Now I drink 8 - 10 glasses a day and LOVE it! It has helped to reduce my diet coke comsumption WAY down.

Congratulations on your GREAT week! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

So I'm sitting here almost finished working. I'm tired, I have a HUGE headache. I ate a little too much this afternoon because my lunch ended up tasting HORRIBLE so I grabbed something from one of the places near by. I don't wanna go to the gym *pout*

BUT I AM GOING TO.

Because, gosh darnit, this is about the bigger picture. My head is gonna suck for a half-hour, but it's going to be worth it when I weigh in next Monday and I'm not horrified by what I see

I am trying to make a huge attitude change in the way I do things. *nod*

Thanks, Kristen for all the work you do on the chart and getting us motivated.
Also..thanks for the challenges. I have been crazy with sleep so I think this is another area I need to thing about. Looking forward to the week ahead!

8 hours & 8 cups of water

Sounds like a great plan! I do try to get the sleep time, but sometimes my body/brain does not cooperate. When I wake up in the early morning hours my brain gets too busy thinking, and then sleep is over and done with. I do love this challenge though, and I will try to get in 8.

Way to go everyone!

The water challenge is no problem, 8 hours of sleep on the other hand is going to be hard. I have 3 little ones who have thrown any sleeping schedule I have tried to instil in them out the window. On a good night I still only get about 5-6 hours of sleep. Maybe they'll be cooperative this week,lol.
