Water challenge starts June 1!!! 64oz (or what you know is right for you) per day.

Jen: we couldn't ask for a better supporter in Chicago! You just hush about that! Heron, I'm not a huge animal person but I almost cried when I read your description of that puppy driving away. What a wonderful thing you do by fostering these babies. Susan, I can totally relate to your dilemma at school. My girlfriend,…

SOOOOOO great to have you back Kris!! I remember what a source of inspiration you were to me back in my Sparkpeople days. And look at us, still at it. Chica, if we have anything it's stamina!! And that's all it take. A desire to not give up. And just by being here, you'll help us all stay or get back on track. Jen: thanks…

"...we don’t honor that value delivered even more throughout the year." I know you're saying that wasn't the point, but I feel that we should John! "today is a day for those that gave the full measure of their devotion.." It's a great speech John! Wish I was there to hear it live.all three of those organizations are wise…

Hey Kim! WOW, your before pics show such dramatic change. Can't believe what a difference. You need a before/after set. I'm happy to create that. I love some pictures I have of you from Paleo FX last month! But I would only do that if you wanted me to. Jennifer, we did the podcast this afternoon at 3:00. You're The real…

GLUTTONOUS DAY TODAY! And it was glorious! I indulged in several sinful things and I enjoyed every bit of it. Too much of everything. Whole30 turned into Whole19. But that is okay. I enjoyed spirits with friends and some yummy food (and some dessert that just made me sick really) but all that said, I am back to whole foods…

Keep ticking away TJ!!

John! Why must you keep holding me accountable for the things that I say I'm going to do?? "...not only in diet, but all areas of life." Everyone knows that I'm full of it. I didn't even make up that tagline, Jake and Zach did when they started the show. I just thought it was catchy so I kept it. Okay, you're probably…

Wow Heron! What a great consult you had with Christn. I know it feels awesome to have such specific goals and guidance. We are here to cheer you on! I can't wait to hear about all your progress!! Jen: try not to get too overwhelmed. And don't forget what works for you in the beginning: making better choices (less processed…

Awesome Kelly! Keep it up. Before pictures are powerful!

This one is for Kim Walls – this gal is prohibiting me from getting quality sleep! Yes, this is my bed... Jen: do you want me to send her over to help you out? Seriously, I hope you get better rest tonight.

Yay, John... so glad you're back in the swing of things. we need you healthy for Vegas!! :) Wow Kelley - you can really see a difference. Both are very pretty. But you can see the difference so much in your face and arms. I know you are thrilled. That is inspiring!! Thanks for posting!! LOVE it. Jen: My fave is an apple…

Cynthia - Love the Benchmark program with the kiddos. You KNOW you made a difference for them. I love that you share more than academics with young minds today. Wish you were coming to Vegas!!! :(

Kim, same here. I have re-listened several times. He favorited your airport tweet! Thanks for sharing that!!! And for the kind words.

Fun video Jen!! Thank you so much for putting it together. Hey! Look at you! You're vloging again!! I shared more videos with you and I am going to try to schedule a google hangout with you and the other gunrunners so we can put that together with the other videos I shared. But you're welcome to use them on your channel…

Yes! Thanks for the kind words all. Ben's information was great, I agree. I felt like such a goofball by the third time I got on the phone with him. That came across clearly but I had to get over it & just post the dang thing. Kim: I used your picture with him at Pfx in the video. Kevin- he talked about a Train to Hunt…

Such a healthy mindset!!

Oh John! What a wonderful recap of the day!! I CAN'T WAIT to do a wrap up show with all of you guys. Jen is working on some footage so you can see some of what happened. That, along with John's recap is a fantastic summary of the events. Kelly: Rock on! No Sweetie, I would not complain about the loss and all you "gained"…

Jennifer: thank you for those heart felt words. I'm honored that you would even want to hang out for the weekend and you know I consider you a real friend too. Your post was a wonderful recap of the gunrunner weekend and all the fun we shared. It's EXACTLY why our group is important. Thank you for being there for me. Huge…

I typed this and just saw that I did not send it as my plane left Chi!! Here it is- Tough Mudder Chicago 2015- in the books!! Big Thank you to John Ellis & Jennifer Young for being integral members of The Gun Runner team. With our awesome shirts, our determination and, of course, our photographer- we dominated the course…

Tough Mudder Chicago 2015- in the books!! Thanks for all the well wishes y'all sent! Big Thank you to John Ellis & Jennifer Young for being integral members of The Gun Runner team. With our awesome shirts, our determination and, of course, our photographer- we dominated the course and proved once again that people can…

Angela: thanks for sharing all those pearls fro that conference! I didn't know you were a pharmacist. Very cool! I liked what that said about 10k steps not necessarily needing to be the goal. I always feel guilty about my low step count. And yes! Whole Foods is $$$!! And you are right! Tough Mudder Chicago 2015 was…

Welcome to the new Chris! And welcome Kelly even though we've been chatting all the time already. Very excited to have more people in our circle!!

Kevin, Jennifer and I are together right now and we were just talking about how glad we are that you are back. I'm so sorry to about your loss. I just can't imagine that I'm sending you lots and lots of prayers. I'm so glad you checked in with us. We were talking about how Jennifer and I feel the same way that it's nice to…

Great to have you! We just finished the tough mudder in Chicago. Well, Wisconsin. It was miserably cold. Every water obstacle was my worst nightmare. But we did it! We did it! We did it! I'm driving in a car with Jennifer right now. And she is laughing at my text to speech I habits. Like when you have to say the word…

Jen, I'm excited that you're going to do the W30 with us! Arturo - glad you are already Whole30-ish. ;) GunRunners are on their way!! Jen and I just made some plans to be roomies this Friday and Saturday. THANK YOU for picking me up from the airport Jen!! Sorry it will be so late when I finally get into OHare. Will message…

Heron: "simple fixes that can possibly improve the quality of your life drastically"...awesome!!! I love that perspective. I love the things we can do when we have reliable data. I will look into this but only when I have time to analyze what I get back.. Late summer is the light at the end of the tunnel. Angela: I had a…

Jen: I am super excited that you're going to do the whole 30 with me starting on Monday. Anybody else that wants to join us… You are welcome to come along! In fact, I think I'm going to start another thread. Of course, I won't be able to keep up with it but at least people know that we're doing a whole 30and that they can…

John: you are so right. I want to pull my hair out but I keep taking a deep breath and remembering that you told me to just try to look at everything from the 5000 foot view. I can't even explain the hectic craziness that I'm in the middle of, but everybody over here is healthy and so I'm focusing on that! Managing to find…

How fantastic that Kelly can throw out a question about St. Paul and get so much good info in just a day?? Love it. Heron - thank you for the kind words about my size. It is a constant struggle. I would for sure love to lose this celulite that is now on the FRONT of my thighs (that is something new and fun) but I am really…
