LOL... they are HORRIBLE influences, HORRIBLE! I know I gained, I know I did, but I don't want to know the damage, so I am hiding from my scale. Now that's bad! Oh well. I will do damage control and it will be fine.
I've been much better today thank goodness, totally back on track with eating and tomorrow I will get to the excersise. Yesterday was a terrible day food day, I did perfect until I got home from work, and then my mom wanted us all to have a couple drinks because it was her birthday, and when I drink, I want to eat everything under the sun... and I did. Oh well, it's better now. Anyway, enough about me. I have been MIA for WAY too long, and am too lazy to read all the forums!! So....

Jaci- are you back home yet? Is it bad, I hope it's not too bad!

Rebecca/Dawn- How the heck are you? And thank you for the blog comment!

Robyn-Where are you? LOL, haven't talked to you in ages. Hope you are doing fantastico! I'm taking spanish, can you tell? HAHAHAHA!

Shannon-Wishing skinny thoughts your way, hope you had a great weekend!

Yvette- Don't give in to the chocolate, it's not worth it! LOL

Sabine-Great tips, thanks as always! I am actually making myself do the challenges again this week!

To everyone else I missed, I hope you had a lovley 4th of July week! Good luck with your goals this week.

Welcome back!

I am gung ho again! I have to really rev it up! I plan to really watch what I am eating again! I will work out to my fullest extent today again! Everyone put it in 2nd gear we need to reach our goals and step it up it is July!!! We can and will do it!
We have all shown improvements since joining the team so lets really focus and build on those results. Remember to journal or keep track of all foods eaten as it is essential to weightloss. On yahoo's homepage this morning it said those that journaled or kept a food diary (same thing) lost double the weight of those that didn't. Food is 80% of the problem. Exercise helps with weightloss and tones. We can do it!!!!!

All I can say is - You are HOT and Fierce! You go girl and I know you'll do it again.

We have been playing since Friday and the only thing I've gotten from the concession stand is bottles of water. No junk at all. I've been cooking before each game.

Today I didn't journal. Bad me. I don't know why. I feel myself slipping into the old pattern. Gotta recognize and pull myself out. I was very very very exhausted today. I was supposed to go for a swim but I crashed and slept for three hours! Nathan and Madelyn both slept over three hours. Once I was up I had loads of energy but it was time to head out to the baseball field. I will make it up tomorrow. I will take the fatigue over the cravings any day! I just can't control those cravings. Thank goodness they aren't here this time around.

Have a wonderful night everyone.

How are you doing today? I know you'll get back on track in no time.

Oh, on Saturday Rodney taught me something fun. It was my OFF workout day but it was nice and the swimming pool was calling my name. We were out there doing laps and having fun - well, I was treading water at the deep end to get a mini workout in and he was splashing me. After a while I decided to join him in his fun. What he was doing was emersing himself completely under water at the deep end. Once he reached the bottom he started running toward the shallow end. I started doing this with him but had to come up for air a couple times. Boy, one lap of that had me winded. We did this for a while but it was so tiring, more then jogging in place at the deep end. So all in all I did get a workout out.

Good Morning All
Looks like everybody is back on track !!!

TRANSLATION:
Have a list of ways to improve your life? A great idea at work? A delicious new recipe for dinner? Good, now comes the important part – putting your plan into action. Some people go through life discovering or even stumbling upon things that could improve their life and put a smile on their face, but do nothing about it. Sometimes this has no effect on them, yet sometimes it could even have a negative effect. Perhaps you sit on a great idea at work and your co-worker comes along with another idea, and gets a promotion because of it! It was yours for the taking, but you just didn’t make the move. So when you get on the right track with something, keep going with it. Or beware of what’s charging after you.

How is everyone today? We have a lot of work to do but I know we will kick butt and take back first place. We can do it. Yeah!

Ok, so coffee is really working me this morning. Last night I went to kickboxing and had enough energy to do a great yoga class. The instructor is hard core but I modified it a bit because I just started yoga again late last week. I had a fun time then went home to do 3 hours of laundry. Who knew two people could do that much damage hehee.

My power sculpt instructor is back!!! She's like 60 something but in good shape; however she had knee issues and was gone for physical therapy the last few weeks. I loved every moment of it. Then I followed it up with 20 min. of Yoga.

This afternoon I have another kickboxing and yoga class to attend. Can't wait.

Oh, I DID IT! 14 days 0 grazing and I win. I did not drop a dime on it. I feel in complete control of my eating - well, until PMS and Aunt Flow visits anyhow.

Good for you Nancy, I knew you could and would do it! It is a great and very empowering feeling, isn't it? You are on a roll! You have done very well for yourself and your results are pouring in! You are a tremendous support and inspiration to me and to the team and so many others on the site! I am very happy for you and your achievements!
