HELLO ROCKSTARS!!!

Welcome to the new week! I titled this week's forum "A Whole New World" cause maybe that's what we all need. Last week was pretty slow overall and our productivity seems to be down a bit. It seems that there is a lot of restructuring going on with all of the teams. Nobody emailed me with weigh in info this week, so hopefully at least some people sent their info to Jinni.

Jinni's idea last week about "What being a Rockstar Means to You" was a great activity and I thought it inspired at least a little bit of converstation. Let's keep that one going again this week for those who didn't get to do it last week. Also, for those who would like to add to their idea's from last time feel free.

Another topic of disscussion for this week, since we are nearing the end of summer (Labor Day Weekend and all). "What I Did During My Summer Vacation!" LOL...I know most of us didn't get a Summer Vacation per say, but just like the first paper you had to write in elementary school, at some point, write a post about a fun summer memory you had.

And onto the weigh-in stuff....let's really try to get back on track this week ok! Anybody that needs help or some more support. I am here for ya! We are all here for eachother. We may have let the end of August get the better of us, but as we approach the fall let's kick some colder weather butt ok!!!!

Keep on Rockin'

i get to be the first (well, second, i guess) on the forum!! yay!! lol
not too much going on here at the moment... and no summer vacation BUT i'm taking one later this week! i'm going to an island a little south of kuyshu (the southern one of japan's main three islands) and hopefully going hiking and sucbadiving. but, we'll just have to see. right now i think its getting tons of rain due to a typhoon. so suck. lol- i'll let everyone know what happens as soon as i get back!!
lets see... goals for the week...
WATER!! haven't been drinking enough of that.
go running at least twice
swim
go on at least one 40k bikeride
1 cup of veggies a day
no eating 3 hours before sleeping
no more gains!!!

ok- that's all i've got for the time being. that and write on the forum more that once this week!! lol- i'm great about reading what everyone else has to say... but i'm not commenting, so i need to do that! ok. now i'm going to sleep. WAY too tired at the moment... hope everything i wrote made sense... lol- ok- good night and hope everyone is having a great day!

Had two weighin sent to me 6 pounds!

I have gained and not eaten well!

Fitness Fanatics 20 1/2 pound los
Heartbreakers 16 pound loss
Wildcats 3 pound gain

That is all the team information I have. Hopefully we can all get revamped and get it figured out together.

Have a great Labor Day!!!!!

Good job you all!

OK...well, some of us are DEFF. in rebuild mode. I know that we haven't been clear as to who to send the weigh in info to. We'll get that straight before the week is out. I think that Lara's computer is still on the fritz so it'll probably be me or Jinni, she and I will figure that out and have a clear cut answer soon, I promise.

Sorry to have dropped the ball in a way this week and have us be in a state of confusion. This week, as I said is "A Whole New World" and we'll be back to kickin' butt...I promise.

I worked at a wedding today for the first time in my career. It was interesting, I am so used to doing all kinds of dirty grubby work and this time I was all "suited up" as Barny Stinson on "How I Met Your Mother" would say, LOL....hopefully SOMEBODY watches that show and gets it. Anyway, it was actually fun, I was a photographer's assistant and I got to actually take some pics during the ceremony too. Different line of work for me, but hell, it's a paycheck. Anyway, now it's almost 10pm and I'm gonna go relax and unwind by watching some Sunday Night TV...probably "Extreme Home Makeover" if I know my wife & I. So typical and predictable us married types are. LOL....anyway, more later and Happy Labor day to anybody in Labor! HAHA....

Keep on Rockin'

What a weekend so far...I can't believe its already over. First I want to tell Josh thanks so much for getting the new forum up and running. You are a great leader!!! I did email Kama with our weigh loss...at least the few people that emailed me. I also got Heathers off of the forum. So counting the ones that emailed Lara we had a 9.2 loss. Not bad but not our best either. I wasn't much of a help...I only lost the .2 so not even a pound. I need to step up to the plate and get my butt in gear. If I'm going to help lead you all to a weight loss success I need to do it myself. What better way to help...than leading by example...right.

Well as for my eating this weekend its been atrocious (spelling)pizza...ice cream cake...peanut butter and jelly...chips...M & M's...ugh! I need to stop. I'm miserable feeling...you would think I would stop but I still was able to fit a few laffy taffy in there to top it off tonight. Anyone have a barf bag...ugh! Sorry...just feeling sick!

As for my goals this week.

1. Water...water...water. I've really sucked at getting my full 8 - 8oz glasses in.
2. Exercise...at least 2 times this week. I want to start some video
3. When I get paid Wednesday...I want to buy healthy food and eat only that.

** I have to look good on the 20th of September...I have a wedding to go to. **

Hope the rest of you are having a wonderful weekend. Tomorrow I will be heading off to the water park to have fun filled day with my daughter, nieces, nephews, sister and best friend. I need to work on my tan at least one more day before summer is gone.

Good night to all...sweet dreams!

Smooches!!!

I love that show...ever since I had Lily...my shoes have been screwed up...lol I used to tape everything and watch it when I got up to feed her...now I can't watch anything. She's always on the move...lol Tomorrow my 3 shows start back up...Prison Break...One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl....what am I going to do? LOL...I might have to hire a babysitter every Monday night between 8 - 10pm...LOL

I have been preoccupied watching the news on the hurricane. We had the news on all day today, and still do. I am really hoping the people will all be okay.

I remember sending in my weight, but I thought I sent it to Jinni? I don't know. I may not have. It was one pound. I have been pigging out all weekend! I know I don't live anywhere near the hurricane but I am one of those people that get all caught up in it and am hoping for the best.

Haha speaking of shows, somehow I got back into All My Children during the week. It's pretty funny because I used to watch it when I was a teenager when Jesse, Angie, greg, Jenny, and Erica Kane were on it, and the other long time cast members. I hadn't seen it since the 80's and I was bored one day and started watching it. Now, I am hooked!

I also like to watch House, and NCIS, and that new show coming on later in September "The Mentalist" sounds cool as do a few others that I can't think of.

Well, I hope we can all get ourselves back together again! It's a new month, so it's a new beginning. I am setting a goal to weigh 225 by the end of the month.
NEW GOALS:
I am going to walk everyday, and maybe be off one day a week.
I will drink more water.
I am going to eat salads, and lots of em.
Stop eating after 6pm.
No sugar free candies or sweets at all.
And whatever sounds right for the time.
We can do this. Let's get reunited and start our Whole New World all over again and kick some butt on weight loss!!! I need some motivation!
