            Hey Jimmie I got my reading & homework done. I'm going out to play!! Can I please have my smiley sticker...please, please, please???


            It just amazes me that in reading this book again how different sections are real eye openers.

            Pg 37...This Just Might Be the Plan for You
            The last sentence..."And it's going to literally change your life~~and your perception of your self" Boy isn't that the truth!!

            Just one of many! Thanks for the challenge Jimmie.

              yes, now you may go play with the other kids who got their homework done.
              make sure you have your play clothes on!

              i liked that part too, glenda. all the statemenst that refer our self esteem really hits home. don't we all feel better about ourselves and hold our head just a little higher as we get closer to goal? i see it all the time!

              you're very welcome for the challenge!
              i'm gonna continue to work on that chart. i have something else in mind so the names will be a bit more visible. watch for an update tonight!

                  You're right jimmie, it was that! I loathe having stuff hanging over me, and got it done over two days, stealing time here and there. Thank heavens part one is only 100 odd pages! I was tempted to download the book into itunes and onto my ipod, but resisted.

                  Reading in a rush like that certainly didn't do much for my concentration/absorbtion, but funnily enough, even though this must be at least the fourth time I've read the book, this time it was as though I was reading for the first time and was soooooo inspiring. I was really frustrated at not having time to dwell on what I was reading.
                  I promised myself to re-visit part one after the challenge, to get the full flavour.

                  My fav page is 51. I can never remember (getting old and senile!!!) the way the insulin/insulin resistence thing works and need that refresher every so often!
                  Before and after:






                  PLEDGING FLIGHTS
                  Completed: 1st set of buildings and mountains (Everest,M.Blanc & Kilimanjaro, twice); Tower Masts & Chimneys; More virtual buildings; Challenger's Choice x 2 (volcanos and mountains on Mars). Currently climbing: Mount Snowdon again: 416/475

                          i knew the new one would be much better. i hope the chart gives every one that little added incentive to do the assignments.

                              I'm getting through the reading of part two slowly but surely, my kids don't seem to want me to read these days everytime I pick up the book they pick up their behavior level ...........
