Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

You scared them off with the 100 oz of water, I'm telling you, our friends here are not big water babies....
But, we looooovvvvve that water, it carries our burned up fat out of our bodies...and hydrates us, and gives us great complexion and soft bowel movments, (i hope) and oh love that water...BUT THEY DON"T

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

I try to get in 64oz. I get so thirsty now when I don't drink my water. My biggest problem is forgeting about it (especially at work) I get so mad when I do that, I like drinking water now. An added bonus is I get extra flights of stairs worked in for my challange when I'm running up and down to the bathroom all the time. Not so bad anymore actually . . .

Today I was just having a hard time just getting it down . . . which is strange because my mouth is sooo dry right now.

Ahh well. . . tomorrow is a new day, (and I don't have to work - except maybe I'll go in for an hour or two in the afternoon to do some training with one of my employee's - but that doesn't count). I shall commit to drinking my minimum amount of water for the rest of the two weeks. I think I would have got it in if I was feeling better . . . it's really been a rough few days.

I'll have to see if I can think of anything special I want for my birthday - I don't usually celebrate really, I like to keep it low key. On a similar note however, I made a deal with my DF(iance) that if I get a set of "abs", I can get another tatoo.

*Edited to Add* I guess I should really get going on that Nov. abs challange then .

Jess- I know they don't drink enough water, and neither did I... but I am now and they can too *nudge nudge guys!* lol you are donig fab with your 120 oz! w00t w00t!

Kristi-64 oz is pretty good- and if you do the 2 weeks, how bout a massage or pedi or something?

Well, I topped off today at about 110 oz water... my mouth was so dry- I swear, water makes me want more water.... but as soon as I drink a soda or something I just can't seem to get more water down... so I did have some coffee today but water was it after that and now I am havin a diet 7up...

well, G'nite my friends! ttyl!

Popcorn, Peanuts, Water, get's your water...
I think there is a thread on water in the FAQs or Misc Forum...I know I made myself read it. I use water to feel full, to hydrate, to hold, and as a companion at gatherings...I use to when bored, I use it TO FLUSH MY FAT AWAY...

Jess - I think you guys call it an elliptical machine Even now its calling my name, but I gotta get the kiddies off to school first! Arms are fine this morning - thank goodness - but I am still not able to complete the whole dvd as yet. All exercises go through three reps - Im only managing to do one of each before my arms start screaming at me, and turning to mush - but hey, its better than nothing at all - and I WILL have a toned set for Christmas!

Rikki - the dvds are really helping me! I mean, its another form of exercise that I have at home, that I dont need to go to the gym for - so I cant excuse myself from not doing anything.

Today was weigh in day for me, and I must admit to feeling disappointed in the scale. Ive only dropped 5.5 pounds in 2 weeks - however, that being said its the most I have lost on any diet before! Im keeping in mind that its more than likely my insulin resistance, and the fact that I am just not drinking enough to flush all my yucky fat away!

However, my measurements showed a better result - 26" lost in the two weeks!!! I'm focusing on this!!

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Sooo tell me you sweet Aussie friend, you DID MEASURE YOURSELF, didn't you???
You know when you start exercising, you might not actually loose weight, but you will loose inches when you are burning FAT...
Thats why everyone tells everyone to Measure...I am off to look for this good link for you...

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Hey girls...Vern, i am sooo glad you are mesuring..I've yet to find the wonderful stuff, on muscle and fat...1 pound of FAT is alot bigger than a pound of lean muscle. So sometimes as you know, when we exercise we are building muscle and of course loosing fat, but there might not be a weight change on the scales but there could very easily be a composition change, and inches will reflect that.
I am so excited you have a devil machine! You can get things done here or at the gym...that gives depth to your program.

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Here yall are! I hate when I cannot find my way back to somewhere LOL I read a few back posts. All that water talk! I get my water in during the week, the weekends are still tricky.

Need to exercise and cook a pork loin! I am so excited. Haven't had that in awhile and I'm so looking forward to good food. Seems for the past 2 weeks he have been nibbling by or snacking and not eating good. I want good foods. An entire meal of good foods. I guess I"m gearing up for Tgiving. I love Tgiving!

Okay, I'm starting to ramble.. time to drink water and surf the net!

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Sunday morning, very slow going for me here. Of course it's just after 6am. We were so active, exercising and busy yesterday...No sitting around in front of the TV...we are a family in transition. All is well. I talked alot about Jan 1, 2007 with Adena yesterday during our visit. That's such a big day for me. She mentioned, "what do people do when they reach their goals"...I said, go on living life, making new plans and goals, trying things they have always wanted to do ...Living out of the abundant confidence that they have seen restored to them!!! That's what they do.

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Hey all........oops hey I'm down .5 lb so now I'm at 4/20. Oh if I were a stoner, I'd make a "420" joke right now.

[Shilorunamok]

Re: New Me for 2007 New Years Challenge!

Is it sad that I don't know what a 420 is. I feel so naive.
