My husband (trying to encourage me) said that you never regret NOT eating something bad! (He must get tired of hearing my regrets over eating things I shouldn't!) So, there's that for *your* encouragement! But, I'm sorry, sometimes my taste buds just won't take 'no' for an answer! :sad:

Wednesday: (sure beats yesterday!) workout: 75 minutes with Leslie...442 calories HIIT: 8 minutes Core reps: 100 UB reps: 300 stretch: 5 minutes EM: 50 stairs; 25 jumping jacks & 25 plank jacks

"Fitness is like marriage; you can't cheat on it and expect it to work!"

For today: "Excuses don't burn calories." That's a painful truth for me today...I spent the day with my daughter and grandson, and we had planned to go for a walk together. We simply ran out of time...when we get together, we do all of our regular shopping, and it just takes a while... :grumble: It gripes me to death to…

Monday: workout: 120 minutes - 60 min hike; 60 min yoga...463 calories HIIT: 10 minutes Core reps: 150 Other Reps: 150 LB EM: instead of sending my kids to our barn/shop to fetch stuff, I went myself (farther than the Kroger parking lot); 50 stairs Stretch: 6 minutes

Ooooh, Melissa, that was good...ACTION, ACTION, ACTION!!! OK, Y"all...I've been running my mouth on other team's pages about how we're the greatest and they're gonna lose and all... so we **have** to keep our number one spot this week!!! The numbers look good so far...let's reign in our eating and show them BIG results!!!…

dzmikki...did you *really* come and smack on the number one team's page from the Tiger's last place spot? I know...y'all were there to try to learn from the best! :laugh: (but seriously, good luck this week...I'm *almost* sorry we're so good!)

Oh, that tiger is *definitely* trying to be a SHARK! (bless its heart!) We all know that SHARKS are the best!

#1 Water - 35/35 pts #2 Sodium - 35/35 pts #3 Workout - 50/60 pts #4 Bad Habit: 25 pts #5 Good Habit: 25 pts #6 Team Talk: 6 pts #7 Smack Talk: - 5 pts Total 181 points excluding bonus points And for support: "The only bad workout is the one that didn't happen." (is that true?!)

Well, today was not good for me, as far as exercise...my company is leaving tomorrow, so hopefully things will be better. Anyway, here's Sunday: stretch: 5 minutes EM: 2 points - parked farthest from the store and did 50 stairs

Well, I tried to copy and paste a support thingie, but I'm computer-challenged, so I'll just give you the quote: "Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going."

Awww, it must be terrible to just be the number TWO team!!! ;)

Well, since I *love* you, Sheri, let me say first that I hope you get better RIGHT NOW! But... I know you 'ditten' come smack on the NUMBER ONE team's page! Y'all know good-and-well you can't catch us...might as well save yourself the trouble of trying!!! SHARKS ARE THE BEST!!! (Sheri, at least you get the satisfaction of…

Ooh...weekend motivation would be good! I need it for Friday AND Saturday! They are both so far from NEXT Friday's weigh-in that it's easy to justify a little splurge... I'm all ears for motivational/challenging ideas! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! LET'S STAY ON TOP!!!

Oh, Ali...that 'chocolates' cartoon is too funny! And I'm very happy that you guys can relate to my weekend struggles, but you're not offering much help!!! :laugh: No, seriously, I realize that I can only help myself...I just have to want it bad enough. And if I cheat some on the weekends but do really good all week, I…

WE ARE NUMBER ONE THIS WEEK!!! Well, I already *knew* we were number one...but now we have proof! Let's use that momentum to do EVEN BETTER this next week!!! GOOOO US!!!

How many HIIT workouts for the week...three like our other workouts?

Wow...we really did do great this week! I love our team too, Mary! Does anybody else slack up with your eating and all on the weekends? During my other challenge when I did so good, I rarely had a 'cheat meal' or dessert, but now I almost feel like I'm entitled to eat more and/or be lazier on the weekends. And I know that…

120...only .8 down, but at least it's in the right direction!

Here I am, finally! Friday: workout: 60 minute yoga...265 calories stretch: 5 minutes reps: 100 core, 200 stairs weight: 120

Wednesday: workout: 60 minute walk...240 calories stretch: 5 minutes reps: 100 core, 200 stairs Thursday: workout: 60 minute circuit training with Jillian (THAT was hard!)...438 calories stretch: 5 minutes reps: 200 core, 500 stairs Support for today: get plenty of rest, Shark buddies...we need it to rebuild after all this…

That's the very reason I *didn't* make those nuts! I *knew* that I would just eat them ALL! vhuber, I made your Lemon Poppy Seed Cake for my company...thanks!

My main compliment went to my pastor this week... He has not been able to preach in a few weeks because of some medical problems and has had a couple of men filling in for him. I just let him know how much we enjoyed and missed *his* preaching. He is young, our church is small, and I don't think he hears this kind of thing…

Where's the 'discipline' tab? That's what I need! Today's gonna be another hard day...:sad:

For Tuesday, all I have to report is my stretching (5 minutes.) I have company in the house (for 11 days!) :noway: But I *did* make them the Lemon Poppy Seed Cake today (from the low sodium page.)

Watch out, guys!!!

That's neat and scary-looking at the same time! Mary, got it...eat clean, exercise dirty! (That's funny!) And that was a good reminder - we WILL have challenges, but we can soooo overcome them and BE SUCCESSFUL!!! Have a GREAT Tuesday, Sharks!

Melissa... that's terrible! (What does this say about my prayer life?!:frown: ) But, like you said, it does beat ligament damage! Here's my Monday: workout: 65 minutes with Leslie...386 calories stretch: 5 minutes reps: 100 core, 100 stairs

Ummmm, we kinda need that brownie recipe!
