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!

Those goals look great!

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'

Sounds like a busy bit fun weekend and coming week! Keep ROCKIN!

Hmmmm, That description of Julie sounds a great deal like my Honey, but his name isn't Julie and he doesn't hate dogs, he just doesn't want them in the house, and well, he's not really furry, in fact he's sort of bald on top, guess it doesn't really sound like him afterall. Hi Julie, welcome! I think she is on her way to be an MVP!!! She got the team thing going on!

We are going to have to order a LOT of bling and short shorts (sorry Jeffrey we didn't tell you!) LOL

Have a happy Monday all! I will be on in the evening

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!

Cassie, maybe you should think about cutting the java back a little to say just 12 oz servings since that will help you have more room for water, we don't want you to wash away! And you know Holly Guzzler is all about tossing back those waters! Peemergency! OH I LOVE that one! Rock on girlie!

Josh, sounds like you are the busiest Rockstar! Man that's some schedule! Didn't get to watch on TV dang it! And I can't agree with you more. Sunday night and we are already rocking the thread! It's going to be a dynamite week for sure!!!

Welcome Partner!

Awww, you like me! You really, really like me! Thanks Lara, that was my best oscar awards performance by the way, but thanks for the invite to join you as co-leader of the hottest and best challenge team on BS!!!

I always chuckle when I remember that I told you I wasn't sure if I had enough time to devote to being on a team. I'm thoroughly addicted to this site and especially this team! This team is the major source of my success here. It provides me with a great source of help working toward doing the things that will ensure my weight loss in doing the challenges. It supports me when I need some moral boosting. It keeps me accountable. It gives me a place where I can give back too. There is just nothing like knowing that you've done something to help someone along the way on this difficult journey, where we need all the help and support we can get!

Lara and I will be working hard to find ways to make this team even better and more fun to be on and if anyone has any suggestions feel free to let us know. We are here to do what we can for you! We are gunna rock that challenge next week for sure!

Yay!! Julie's here! Just wanted to let everyone know that Julie is a great buddy and has been so helpful to me.

Julie - good goals. i always plan meals, this is a great goal and it should help you to watch your calories a lot. and i'm the same way about wanting to just relax after work. but i've made yoga part of my bedtime routine, and i've made dog walks part of my work routine. i do them as soon as i get home, so i feel like i'm not done with work until the dog walk is done. you've just got to get exercise into a routine of sorts, you can do it.

how funny that it wouldn't occur to me to cut down on the coffee. truthfully 2 20 oz.'s would be cutting down. i just love my coffee so much! what about green tea, if it only has half the caffiene as water, does that mean i only need to drink half as much water to compensate?? and caffiene free tea means that i wouldn't need to compensate at all, right??
