Nah I knew it was built, I just didn't join. I'm still checking in. I've had a pretty good week but busy week. Food has been decent, I've already hit the gym twice, walked 5 miles and wrote 4 (yes 4) policies and may write 2 more this week. As for Tori, I still give her the boot to the butt, daily.

1. Drink min 80oz of WATER! Y, Y, Y
2. PM workout Mon/Wed/Fri(at least)!! Y:22m, Y:32m(bonus#1), Y:32m
3. Min 60 crunches/day! Y, Y, Y
4. 5 Pushups (straight leg)/ 10 pushups (knees)! Y, Y, Y
5. Calories below 1300/day! Y:1265, Y:1271, N:1359
6. Check in min 2x/day! Y, Y, Y
7. Don't crash and burn on the weekend! WEEKEND WARRIORS UNITE!!!
Damn you Velveeta! So close! Ruined my green streak! But I did push thru my Elliptical workout last night... wanted to quit after 10 min but turned up the volume on the TV and made it to my 32min! After I adjusted the foot pad it started squeeking and I can't stand it! Just like I can't stand the sound of a ticking clock - drives me nutso! Not sure how I'm going to fix the squeek because its a rubbery foot pad thing that I can't oil... maybe a towel or something
. owell.
Its official - we have another open house this weekend... still can't get optimistic about selling this house though. The pics that the new agent posted are horrible! I'm not a professional or anything but the pics are so far back and so small that you can't see anything! "Wide angle" is crap! And we haven't even met the the agent that is supposed to be selling the house AND nobody except the photographer has been out to even see the house! I don't know - just seems weird to me. You would think that if you are selling someone's house you might want to stop in and at least say hello and introduce yourself?! It makes me a little bit mad that we have to pay him 1% commission when he has done absolutely NOTHING! ok I'm done!
Hope - mmmmm chinese food! You should have reached out to us silly!!
Cassie - you are doing awesome! Love the last excuse - sooooo true! You will def have more energy - way to go girl!
Nobe - nice green!! woohoo!! Glad your legs weren't restless last night - hopefully it was just the extra choc caffeine and the problem is solved! fingers crossed!
I wish everyone lots of energy and positive thoughts today!! We are past the halfway mark!! YAY!!

Goals for the Week
1. Calories around 1000 - M:N, T:Y, W:N
2. Walk or exercise every day - M:Y, T:Y, W:Y
3. Water - 100+ oz daily - M:Y, T:N, W:Y
4. Log activities - M:Y, T:Y, W:Y
5. Bed by 11 pm - M:N, T:N (11:30), W:Y
6. 1/2 day hike this weekend
Struggling with the food demon this week. It's another busy week and I am just not paying attention to what I eat. Focus, focus, focus. I have planned my foods for the day so I should stay on track today. I sat down last night before bed and planned things out. I should do this each nite to keep myself out of trouble. One thing I noticed is even though I have a deficit, the carbs are killing me.

Anyone remember me well I'm here, again, but not for weight loss yet. I'm pregnant at the moment, so more than losing weight I want to keep track on my calories, keep my 30min exercise 5 days a week and cut down on sugar. So far I only gained about 6-7lb and I'm at the beginning of 5th month (18weeks). I really don't want to go over 198lb (90kg) this time.
Goals:
1) minimum sugar
2) 2000kcal max
3) exercise at least 30min every day

Hi everyone- your messages of suppurt continue to keep me focused and when the temptation hits i just keep all of you in mind.
Almeeker- cream tea- sure but even im not as english as that haha- im yt to try it myself lol!!!! Crumpets- i should send you over a few packs lol!!!!!!!
I was born in Dublin and my mum moved us to England when i was 3. They always go on for all the irish food they miss- potatoes!!!! Sausages and soda bread- oh i must stop talking about food!
My grandma of 94 is at this moment laying very ill and we have had the news she probably wont make the night. My mum flew over ( all family live in Ireland) 2 weeks ago and she was fine but she had a fall 2 days after she left and then had what they thought was a stroke. My mum is comforted that she got to see her before this- strange how the instinct just came to visit without any notice- like there was a sign and my grandma was waiting in a way. So we are waiting for news knowing what to expect from the next call.
Foodwise im doing well- plenty of fruit- 2 chocolate biscuits which i admit were for a bit of comfort, ham salad and ryvita for lunch and mushroom omelette for dinner.
Oh yeah- thankyou loads for the dancing banana- i get the impression they arent easily come by?? Im very priviledged (spelling??)
