You can totally do it!

welcome jeffrey and amy! my new goal for the week (besides the standard diet and exercise) is stepping up my water intake from 8 glasses per day - that was this weeks goal, and i met it - to 8 glasses plus an equal amount of water to how much coffee i drink per day! i've been struggling with the 8 glasses, typically slamming 3 before bed to meet my goal, and waking up at 3am for a peemergency. i typically drink 2 20 oz of coffee per day too, so that's going to up the water 4 glasses at least... it'll be tough, but i know i can do it... and maybe i'll spend less money on coffees!!

everyone else, stick to your goals. set them and mean them - and make sure they are reasonable and acheivable, of course. sticking to the plan makes all the difference!

Welcome Julie to the team. She is furry and likes lasagna, hates dogs! Just kidding! I am sure that she will stop in and tell us more about herself and her goals!

That sounds great! I need to get more water in too - maybe I would get well-er quicker.

But I am getting up in the morning and exercising if it KILLS me!

HOLLY ROCKSTAR is going to be my co-leader. She and I started this thing together 8 weeks ago and the ROCKSTARS actually became a real team!!! Holly has been a great and supportive team member personally and on the team. She has been a great cheerleader to us all while we have been on the team and we love her to death!

Welcome Partner!

Thrilled to join the Rockstars! Well, I always wanted to be a rockstar when I was a kid, so I guess this is another way to fulfill my childhood dream =)

As for goals this week: I've been really good about water, so I just want to continue consuming enough non-caloric beverages this week, especially since I plan to increase the workouts. My big thing is that I want to workout everyday, which I've been bad about on weekdays since I usually just want to plop myself in front of the TV after work. But even if I'm tired, I hope to squeeze in at least some form of exercise everyday. Another goal is planning out my meals for the week and sticking to them. This is really important for me because if I slide, I slide ALL the way!

But my first immediate goal will be to add all the other team members to my Buddy list so that I make sure to read everyone's blogs/profiles.

Thanks again for the add, and I'm looking forward to the challenge!

By the way, my weight ticker is totally wrong! I wish I was 125! Let me go fix that!

Okay, so I just fixed the weight ticker thing. 145 doesn't sound like that much, but I'm only 5 feet tall which puts me in the obese BMI range. My doctor said that I need to get down to 105-110 to be at a healthy weight for my frame type, so I put 110 as my goal for now (with 125 as the mini goal).

OK WOW!!!! First of all....THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for making me an MVP!!! You guys are great. Also, WOW it is only Sunday night and we have 4 pages of this thread. I think we are gonna really Rock out this week! I just got home from the Celtics (woooohooooo, they won!!!).

It was a very busy weekend for me. I worked at the Boston Cannons Lacrosse game last night, then had to be at the Celtics today by 10am, tomorrow I will be at the Boston College Graduation by 6am YUCK! The only good part is I will be done very early, and that job is one of my favorites for the year.

With any luck, I'll be working on Tuesday as the Celtics take on the Detriot Pistions in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals!!!

I will post about my weekly goals soon, but for now I am just beat so I need to relax a bit.

Welcome to all of our new Rockstars!

More later,

Keep on Rockin'
