I did it!

I finally got that damn 25# charm!!
Can I just tell ya? SQUEEEEEE!!!!

I was so happy, I made a goal. It took forevah.. but I did it!

Now I just have to get another one.. and I will be a lifetime member of Weight Watchers! Which means.. free!!
woot!


The meeting topic was about Positive self talk.
How easy is it to make bad or negative comments about ourselves? I do it constantly. All day long.
How hard would it be to change a few of those.. gradually increasing so everything we think or say about ourselves.. is positive?

so..
check this out..

I am going to fill this out and hang it on my fridge..
so every time I want to wander in and grab something I am not supposed to have..
taa-daa! The reason.. I CAN make GOOD CHOICES!

I am still totally rockin the body for life challenge..
except yesterday..
it was supposed to be my rest day..
ha!
I went to yoga.. the teenager wanted to go and her friend came.. he loved it! How cute is that? (He wants to go to Zumba with us this week too) tee-hee
then..
went home..
cleaned the house..
went back to the rec..
jogged..
did the elliptical..
went grocery shopping
did laundry..
played with my puppy..

where is the rest in this day?
Idk.

but I felt awesome..

I am having a hard time (I really really don't want to sound like one of those whiny teenagers who says I'm too fat when I really need to eat more)
but I can't get enough calories in with my exercise.
But I am not willing to give up my exercise.
I know what to do.. I just don't.
ugh!

since starting to use my fitness pal
I can see EXACTLY what goes in and out..
and I am always getting the warning.. You are not consuming enough calories. You are in danger of putting your body in Starvation mode..
all I can think of is more veggies..more protein. With Body For Life.. it is pretty restrictive.. so I really have to watch it.. and not eating meat.. doesn't help either.

I think I am doing pretty well so far.
down 5.4 pounds in two weeks..no?

This is also the final post for slimmer this summer
I struggled with remembering to link my posts.. but I've always been here!
I think I'm down a total of 9.2 pounds since this began.. not too shabby?

well kids..
Have a great day!

Week one down.. 11 to go!

good progress so far..
I think I did pretty well on the Body for life plan
I lost 3.6 pounds..
finally.. a loss!
woot!

I hope to lose one or two this week..not planning on a huge loss.. we'll see what happens.

I will try to post my workouts and meal plans as soon as I can..
I have my workouts all written out on index cards to take to the gym.. easy peasy..

that way I don't have to guess or try to remember what I did or need to do..

but.. a loss is a loss.. I'll take it!

this week is going to be a lil harder..
trying to get all my veggies in..
all the protein..
it's a challenge.
but I am so going to do it!
I want to win!!!!

day three already?

only 81 to go!
woohoo!!

mkay.. so here's my plan today.. as always.. feel free to tell me what I'm gonna do wrong lol..
I am doing Body for life and mixing it with my Weight Watchers..
so far, it's been simple to do.. they kinda blend well together..

2 hard boiled eggs (more protein for me yay) 4 weight watchers p+
45 cal bread with nutella.. mmmmmm 4p+

homemade "taco" soup.. it has beans, corn, tomatoes and taco seasoning.. 4 P+
green beans 0 p+

greek yogurt 2p+
protien bar 5p+

veggie salad with balsamic vinegar  0P+
sound ok so far?

I haven't been that hungry either.. I guess knowing I can eat something in a couple hours.. it's a mental thing.. I know I am not going to starve to death.. maybe this is the structure I needed!

25 pound charm.. here I come!

I think I am going to take a while to adjust to exactly what I need to eat every day..
having to have protein and carb and veggie balanced.. it's kinda hard.. specially being a tree hugger n all..
eh well..
it's sooo worth it..
I can't wait to see the "after" pics..

going to hit the lower body workout today..
I think I'll post my workouts here too.. whaddya think?
wanna see how I roll in the gym?

Day one

and
it begins

day one
of
Body for Life

last night I had my super supportive hubster take "before" pics

and the good man that he is
didn't say a word
not one
word
about my side belly
or my double chins
or my donut rolls
or
anything for that matter..

he even asked that I take
"before" pics of him

"before" what? I have no clue..
he isn't a "dieter"
he's a couch sitter..
whatevs..

he's happy with his sports watching while I'm sweatin at the gym..
we make it work.

so..
I got my pics..
I got some good foods..

here's my plan for today..

Protein shake w/ fruit
orange

peach
slice of 45 cal whole wheat bread w/ nutella! mmmm I can't wait to try this stuff..

cottage cheese/ grapes


plum
protein bar

prolly a big salad for dinner..

going to start the workout plan today too..
I'm not sure how I'm going to do this since I already workout lots..
I'm not thinking of changing too much.. just focus more on what the plan says needs to be done.. I'll finally have a schedule :)

Day 1

Upper Body Training

Chest/Shoulders/Triceps/Back/Biceps

Day 1

Upper Body Training

Chest/Shoulders/Triceps/Back/Biceps

upper body is today.. which rocks.. since I did the evil leg machines at the gym Friday.. and still sore in hidden special places today..

go me!

as for the slimmer this summer challenge.. I'm still here.. still working!
woot!

somethin pretty to keep me motivated?

I am very easily amused.
I got kinda tired of the plain-o ww's paper trackers..
so I looked around my lil craft desk
and found this

a sparkly new Moon Goddess journal ready for me to track in!
see my cute lil skully pencil I use? Makes me smile :)

let's see what happens now.
after all..
I gained two frekin pounds last week.

I don't know what to do about that.
other than cry
and get mad
and be upset
at myself

I know that I couldn't exercise as well as usual, due to my leg pain..
but seriously?

ugh!
now I have 4.8 to go to get my damn 25 pound charm!
for fucks sakes!

anyway..
I'm over it
moving on..
being better this week is all I can do

I went to yoga Sunday.. loved it!
she cranks up the heat to at least 85 and away we go!
down dogs, triangles, cobras, planks.. etc.. it is such a great workout and soul clearing experience.. I wish I could do it every day!

so.. I may be only a little bit lighter.. but it's better than the alternative.. right?

I did pretty good..

it was a loooong holiday weekend.
I took two days off.. then we got Monday off.. so I had a total of five days off!!
do you think I got anything done that I wanted to?
nope..
I got a few things checked off my list..
but nothing big.
eh well.
I did get a workout in every day though.. and a couple trips to the park to walk the doggies..


I checked in at ww's.. I am up .6 again.. but I suppose thats not too horrible considering we had a parade the night before.. and I drank a ton of diet soda. I think it made me a lil bloated..

I took the girls to a lil carnival after working out.. I had some nachos and another diet soda.. mmmmmm (wait.. no.. they were icky) lol.. that's what I have to tell myself.. food is icky.. right?

I did discover a great way to not eat goodies at a party..
invite six or seven teenagers and a couple of pre-teens..
turn on guitar hero
put food on table.
walk away..
make sure you're arms are still attached. lol

I managed a couple carrots and maybe one or two crackers with homemade guac and salsa..
great way to avoid the extra calories! :)



I made some awesome potato salad for lunch yesterday..
I used three smallish potatoes leftover from a bbq the night before
added some dijon mustard
salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic salt

I chopped up some celery, cilantro, a pickle and some onion (please forgive my crappy phone pics..)

added some light mayo

 and some fresh homegrown dill mmmmm

 taa-daa yummy potato salad

I got three servings.. which equal about 7 P+ per serving.. soooo worth it to me :)

my plan for today

a protein smoothie.. mmmmm these are soooo yummy..
a scoop of protein powder
some frozen fruit
ice and water..
yummmmyyy!! 2P+
a grapefruit 0P+

a ww's frozen dinner.. baked ziti 5P+
a peach 0P+

a granola bar pre-gym 5P+

dinner? probably a salad or some whole grain pasta salad.. ooh that sounds good.. add some veggies.. yumo!

I am going to continue to do well this week.. because I finally decided.. I am worth it!
I watched Oprah yesterday.. at the gym..
and it was an episode where she had a bunch of people she's inspired and helped to lose weight.
I was finally able to click in my head.. that all these people can lose soooo much weight.. and they finally decided they are worth it.. so why aren't I? why can't I do it?
seriously?
I think that is what has been holding me back..
yes..I've lost 50 pounds.
but I still have at least 30 to go.. to be completely happy..
and I know I can't get hung up on the number. but it is a number to measure by..
so.. I think by asking myself, why can't I? I finallly can find an answer..for myself.
instead of just thinking.. I can do it..
because that isn't working as of now..
I have to challenge myself.. why not?
I hope this makes sense.
thanks Oprah!

It's a new week.. time to start fresh!

I know.. I've said that alot lately.

seriously.
I need help!

but
this week.. I mean it!

I am stocked up on lots of fruits n veggies n healthy snacks
so I have no reason to eat crap

none!

I was up .8 at weigh in.
which..given my record the last couple of weeks.. I'll take it.

I haven't tracked
I haven't tried to lose
I gave up basically

but I'm not ready to lose (tee-hee) that's bad wording.

but I am a fighter
so here I go..

this week's plan
eat all my fruits n veggies
get my five pound sticker.. which will be my 25 pound charm with weight watchers.
I have a new goal
I want that damn charm!
it will be 3 pounds this week.. but I can do it
I've done it before..

My plan for today.
Grapefruit and greek yogurt for b-fast ..yummy 3 points +
lean cuisine and salad for lunch mmmmm  9 p+
cherries for snack before workout 0 p+
ff popcorn for snack after workout 1 points +

big salad for dinner mmmmmmm
another gym workout after dinner.. gonna beat that stairmasters arse!

I'm still a little sore from my awesome yoga class yesterday, but I am going to be continuing my weight training progam ala me.. I don't really have a great "plan" here.. I am just doing workouts as I see them.. so if anyone has a great fat blasting, muscle building program.. could ya help me out here?

I almost forgot.. I'm running a 5k tonight! with our weight watchers group.. it's just for fun.. but whoop! I'm gonna sweat some poundage off for sure!

ugh

first.
I skipped my Weight Watcher's weigh in on Saturday.
I just needed to sleep.
which I did
Until 10 am!
yeah..

but according to my scale at home I am down a pound.
woop!

I have been struggling with motivation this last couple weeks.
I just haven't had it in me to track or even stay on plan.
I've craved crap
junk
carbs
sugar
etc..

but this week
I am putting my foot down
I've come too far to waste all this hard work to gain it all back
I've lost 52 pounds so far
I realized yesterday.. and told the hubs..
I haven't weighed this weight since I was preggers with our 10 year old.
I seriously almost started crying people.
I remember.. I was all set to join the Army in 2000..March I believe.
I was packed and papers signed.
the morning I was supposed to leave, they did one last weigh in (I was border line then) and they said I was about a pound over.
I was devistated.
We(my recruiter and I) tried desperately for three days (since they gave me a second chance) to lose that one pound.
never came off..
and voila.. I found out I was pregnant.
so.. I suppose it all works out for a reason or another.

but..
I weighed what I do now.
it feels good!
I would love to lose another 30 pounds.
I AM going to lose another 30 pounds!

now..
I have to share a recipe I played with last night.
I wanted spaghetti
but also wanted something cheesy

so I made this..

started with penne

oh yeah.. please forgive my crappy pics. My phone has a mind of it's own.. I even used the flash.. go figure..

then added some fresh basil from my window herb garden
and some chopped cheese

then added some spaghetti sauce and cottage cheese.. some seasonings (italian seasoning, salt, pepper)

and the finished product

mmmm all warm n gooey from the oven..
it tasted like lasagna a little..
I got nine servings from this batch and figure it to be 4 points plus.. seriously.. and that was using the recipe builder.. nice huh?

I wish my camera would work better.. I need to learn how to use it I guess..

so.. this week for my slimmer this summer week 6 challenge

I am going to re-boot my mind.
I am determined to do it!

an update on the strength training..
can you say SORE? holy cow!
I am glad for the weekend to recover..
my legs are so painfully sore..
but now I know I have muscles to burn!!

I did get my running in though.. I can do two and a half miles now.. woohoo!! I am going to try for three by the end of the week. that is jogging the whole time..and it's hard! and sweaty!

so.. on to a new week.

Damage control

ok so first I have to say how disappointed I am in our justice system. Poor Caylee.. ugh..
that's all I have to say about that.
It totally breaks my heart and makes me sad that her mother got away with murder.

anyways..

I had a bad (horrible) weekend.
It was a blast, but I ate crap.
alot of crap.
I managed to only gain a couple pounds though, so I am off to a good start for the damage control.
I tried to eat right.
I really did
but all the goodies over the holiday begged me to eat them.
so I nibbled some.
I tasted some..
I drank alot.
water too.. lol
I went on a hike for a couple hours.

with the kidlets.
I played badminton
I went to the gym a couple times.
I played alllll day yesterday at Boondocks ( A local family fun center) idk.. it might be national.

that's where I got in trouble.
I had ice cream
with toppings
and yanno..
I didn't let it make me feel guilty.
that's a good thing.
I didn't hate myself after having a treat.

it was the whole weekend of treats that bug me.
so
I'm picking myself up and wiping myself off and starting over with a fresh week (few days) until weigh in.
I will be good the rest of the week. That's the deal I made with myself. sometimes it is just too much to "eat right" allll the time. yanno?

so.. this week. I am going to "cram" good stuff in.
totally double time the exerciseness and water..

I'll be back in a bit with more goodies

new week, kinda bummed.. moving on

so.. I tried so hard to win a Mytrak from Fitblogger.. the last 12 weeks, I only missed two weeks.. but maybe those were my chances.. idk..
bummer.

oh well.. I will just have to save up the money to get some sort of tracking device so I know exactly what my exercise is doing for me. I don't like guessing..

yeah. I'm cranky today.
between the hubs staying up till after midnight, and the neighbors damn dogs barking all night.. I'm tired and not very happy.
I can be bitchy once in a while, can't I?

mkay.
so..

I lost 2.2 pounds last week.
whew!
It was hard..
I worked my arse off in the gym..I got up to 4 miles jogging (sweating like hell while doing it)
yup.. I'm kinda proud of that..
I used to despise running.
I hated it like I hate mushrooms.. seriously..

now..
I love it!
I can't just walk any more.
I have to run

:)

so..
this week..
weight watchers suggested we start "listening" to our bodies.
actually listening.
what is it saying?

That's going to be my goal for the week.

slimmer this summer week 4 I am going to continue to get my bazillion ounces of water.. I am so used to it now, it's like I feel naked without my water bottle full and ready to drink up..

plus size bloggers bye bye bootie challenge.. I am down a total of 6 pounds!
woohoo!! I am halfway there.. seriously.. I'm rocking this bitch! k. I need to stay on track and not let it go to my head and think I can slack.

I am going to listen to my body. Take my time eating. Listen for that "sigh" of satisfied-ness. yanno.. the one that your body gives when it's happy? listen for it..you'll know.
I am only going to eat what actually tastes good. I remember eating those processed candy bars, the greasy chips.. and only feeling icky after eating them.
this week at least, I am going to try to remember how I felt after eating crap.
sticking to natural and healthy foods is my goal.

okey dokey
off to start Monday

A fresh week to start over.. again.. *sigh* and my new friend

 I gained .8 last week. I admit, I haven't ate as well as I should have.
I have been so super busy with the teenager and life.. I tend to make excuses.. but then I kick myself for it.
This week I am going to track every single bite.
I am going to drink more and more water. For some reason I got back into the diet soda habit.. and totally need to kick it.. again.
so.. I will go back to posting my meals and points as much as possible.. with no internet at home, it's kinda hard.. but I will do it when I can..

Fathers day was hard.
not only sad.. but I wanted to eat the pain away.. with a banana split. so I did.
ugh! seriously..
bad girl!

fitblogger this is the last week.. I've been a good girl.. I've only missed two weeks.. when my dad passed.. still working on the protein.. I did pick up some greek yogurt.. it is pretty yummy! and has more protein than regular yogurt.. so yay!

slimmer this summer week 3  I am still down 4 pounds.. but with the .8 gain.. ugh! I will get it back down this week.. going to hit the gym hard this week!

plus size bloggers bye bye bootie challenge.. still down the 4 pounds.. going to get a couple at least this week to get closer to the 15 pound goal. upping my water and exercise.. I am sooo going to get the big guns (weights) out!

so.. there ya have it..
water- drinking more!
exercise- waaay more.. and bringing out the weights hard core!
tracking- every bite and watching that I actually stick to the plan
I have a plan and I am determined to stick to it.

The vegetarian plan is still going great! I really don't miss meat at all. I may have to stick to it for a long while.. awesome.

aaanndd.. here's my new friend. my new addition to my Alice in Wonderland tribute, on my leg..

whoop! whoop!

I Lost FOUR pounds last week kids!
seriously
F O U R!
saweet huh?

so.. all I basically did, was..
eat waaaay more fruits n veggies..
ate NO meat!
none
drank lots of water..
buckets.
got my workout on.. lots!

it was pretty easy.
I am totally digging this vegetarian thing..
this week..
we'll see what happens next Weigh in..
but for now..
I'm basking in the "down four pounds glow"
:)
yesterday was a great day
I took the teenager to Yoga.. we both did great! she is totally lovin it..
then we came home.. I cooked an early dinner for the fam.. they had turkey.. I had mashed potatoes and pasta salad..
after that, it was still early.. so me n the teenager decided we'd go for a jog/bike ride. My bike is broken.. so I jogged, she rode.
I made it the usual four+ miles. jogging most of the way.. even though it was fuggin hot!.. I had to shower again when we got home..
feelin goood!

so..
my challenges for the week are:

Fitblogger.. I am soooo dying to get one of these Mytraks... seriously..
I am going to stick to the "no meat" plan.. since I like it.. but find more ways to get protein. I have beans. that's it.. so.. my goal for the week.. get protein!
slimmer-this-summer-week-2 I am going to continue to work on my water intake. I know I need more. I just have a hard time putting my Diet Dr Pepper's down man!
Plus Size Bloggers bye bye bootie challenge.. to lose 15 pounds in 12 weeks.. I am almost a third of the way there! woohoo!!

I hope I can stick to this weight loss. I always lose, then gain... I just want to find a way to lose every week. even if just a lil.. yanno?
I have about 30 pounds to go! much better than 80 I think..
yeah.. I've lost almost exactly 50 pounds since the beginning of last year..
go me

another good day

yesterday was another good day, despite dr appointments with the teenager, me being sick and having a hard time breathing.. stupid congestion..

breakfast was some ff cottage cheese and some strawberries.. mmmmm 3 WW p+
then a no bake cookie for 2 p+  (and lots of water..)

lunch was some leftover spaghetti with marinara 8 WW P+ (lots more water..)

I made some yummy cheesy potatoes.. I guessed at this one for 12 WWp+.. I don't think it was that high, but I'd rather be high, than low :) and they were soooo yummy.. and green beans 0 P+

if you didn't know the "P+" is Weight Watchers "Points Plus" for the new program. I love it so far.
I have lost weight.. so it works for me :)

then I made it to the gym for 20 minutes of ellipticalling and 30 minutes of walking/jogging.. not much on the jogging.. since the whole not being able to breathe kinda puts a damper on it..  adding more water!!

so.. it was a pretty good day on plan for me :)
feeling awesome about it..

yesterday was good

I don't have a puter at home.. so I have to wait till morning to make my posts..
forgive me if I forget sumpin..
I totally have short term memory loss.. lol

k.. so brekky was a grapefruit.. mmmm
then for a snack I had some mango and cantaloupe.. total.. 0 WW p+

Lunch was a humongo salad with mixed greens, tomatoes, broccoli, avacado, croutons and vinagrette dressing.. total 6 WW p+
it was soooo nummy and I couldn't eat it all, but counted the points anyways..

a snack of cracker thins for 2 points..

then a quickie workout on the elliptical to add an activity point for me to eat (though I rarely do).. yay!

a snack of fat free popcorn for 1 WW P+..

then dinner was a bean burrito on a low carb tortilla, with tomatoes and lettuce.. some ff ranch and cheese for a total of 6 WW p+.. very yummy and can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch tomorrow..

then me and the rockstar teenager went to Aqua Zumba.. it was the first class and sooo fun.. didn't feel like much of a hard workout.. but the smiles and giggles coming from the kid was soooo worth it.. adding 5 activity points for that..

so.. I stayed below my points for the day.. as usual..
I'm ok with that.. eventually, as I get better at planning for no meat.. I'm sure I will get closer to my target..

going veggie, slimmer this summer, fitblogger, and plus size challenges

yup
that's me
a vegetarian

ok.. well.. one in training :)

I started Saturday..
it's been kinda easy so far.
not too many struggles..

other than wanting to cook that big ol turkey I've got in the freezer..

but.. I've done pretty well so far.
I have not even "needed" to eat anything with meat in it.
I made spaghetti last night.. and didn't even miss it.

I've stocked up on beans, tons and tons of veggies and lots of fruit to keep me happy.
I am able to stick to my Weight Watcher's plan easily and haven't felt deprived so far.

any suggestions or recipes?
I'm not big on tofu or anything weird.. just simple :)

so my goal this week.. for week 10 (seriously.. it's almost over) of fitblogger 's mytrak challenge.. is to continue with the healthy vegetarian alternative plan :)
simple as that..

I am also joining in on Debbi's Slimmer this summer challenge..

in addition to this vegetarian goal.. I am going to drink alllll my water.. and follow my WW's plan..
too much life may make it difficult to add much more right now.. I just have to take it a day at a time :)

aaaannd.. if that wasn't enough to keep me motivated..
let's join in the fun with plus size bloggers and their bye bye booties challenge..
to lose 15 pounds in 12 weeks..

did I need to remind you how competitive I am?
mmkay..
didn't think so..

not to mention the fact.. that I can't be left out lol..

so..let's get healthy!

slimmer this summer challenge

do I need to tell ya that I am a bit compulsive?
I see a challenge.. and I HAVE to be included.
I can't miss out on anything!

so.. I had to join in on this one.. partly because well.. it was there.. and mostly because I need to. and yes.. her blog name does remind me of porn every time I see it. but that's just my dirty mind.. please excuse me. :)
I need to kick my own ass into gear.
and well..
if there are a billion people watching me.. I can't quit.
right?

debbi does dieting slimmer-this-summer-weight-loss
here's the deets..
starting Monday.. (copied from Debbi's blog cuz I'm lazy)

Here's what we're going to do in this summer challenge.  We're still working on the details but this will give you an idea of how it will go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I believe that to be successful you have to have a plan and a goal.  Without it, you're just flying blind. Here's the plan.

1. Blog our goals!! Please do an initial post stating what your goals are. We have 12 weeks of this challenge. How much do you want to lose in 12 weeks? How much water or liquids do you intend to drink daily? How many workouts are you going to do? What is your exercise plan? Measurements? This way you'll have measurable goals to aim for. End goal could simply be an increased level of exercising or entering a 5K run or being able to do X number of repetitions or adding an extra hour a week. The type of exercise and level of challenge is an individual choice of each challenge participant. All the challenge asks is that you be accountable weekly to how you met your goals for calories, exercise, fluids and other personal challenge goals.

2. Tracking food and water is essential.  It was the only way I have found success and if you talk with anyone else who has lost substantial weight, they would agree.  Tracking and journaling is a must.  I am planning to track my daily calories on my blog and encourage you to do the same. We'd love to see what you eat and share ideas!  It certainly isn't manditory though.

3. I've tried different diets and have found that eating between 1200 - 1400 calories works for me. That comes to about 9800 calories per week maximum. Tracking calories keeps us aware of food labels and portioning. If you don't have a food scale, get one. They are inexpensive and essential for accurately tracking calories.  Round numbers, let's keep it under 10,000 calories a week. TOPS. Water or liquids should be at 10 - 8 oz. cups a day.  Good chance your body needs more than that so this is minimum!  Keep hydrated!

4. Get moving!  If you're already sticking to an exercise routine.  Great.  Keep it up and maybe see how you change it up or kick it up a notch.  If you're like me and struggling to get into a routine, well then what the heck are you waiting for!  Let's set some goals and plan our exercise for the next 12 weeks. Exercise should be "challenging", ie, get you to work up a sweat and get stronger. Whether you choose walking, biking, jogging, lifting weights, Pilates, CrossFit, home videos, salsa dancing, it should be for at least 20 minutes and should grow progressively more challenging as the weeks progress. If you start with 20 minutes, then increase it a bit week by week. If you are already doing an exercise regimen that works for you, then simply state your goals for how often/how long and keep accountable.  We need to FIT exercise into our schedules.  It's not going to happen by itself. 

5.  We want to lose weight, so lets stay accountable and blog weekly with results.  We're not going to be the scale police but we expect results.  Twelve weeks is enough time to see some awesome results from everyone.  I'll put a linky up on a post on Sunday night.  You can do a weekly results post over the weekend and post it to the linky on Monday morning so we can all see your progress.

6. No winners or losers. So don't quit! If you have a bad week, get over it and get back on track. That's what we're here for, to stay on track!   Challengers should have fun with this. It should be "challenging", but it should not be a huge pain in the keister. Blogging and the rules are to motivate, not to burden.


7. Challengers should support other challengers. Please consider supporting via comments on blog posts.

No specific prizes but I do intend to do some giveaways at the end for those who stick with it and stay super supportive. More details on that later.

You are welcome to be in any other challenges as well. We all need as much help and encouragement as possible.

so my goal will be simple

lose weight by following my Weight Watcher's plan to the T.. I got my 10% goal, my 5k charm, my keychain and I want that damn 25# charm.. hell.. I want that 50# charm!
exercise. going back to my 2adays.. re-adding my weight routine since I've completely assed out of it.
drink water.. lots of it..100 ounces a day. not including my diet dr. peppers.

I've totally fallen off my wagon.. and I am fuggin determined to get back on.
no more breaks.
I've accomplished too much to let it all fall apart now.
no excuses.

let's do this!
