Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Good morning, all Challengers! My new gym opens super early (5 a.m.) so I was there at 5:30 and out the door 45 minutes later; feels good to have the workout done and over with just as the sun is coming up

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Good morning all! FL - you're a champ. The only thing I want to do at 5am is hit my snooze button 10 more times.

How is everyone today??

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Norah - Good for you! That is awesome! I'm with Bunny, 5 am is snoozing time =) So I was bad....I bought ANOTHER scale. But today I am going to have my son hide both scales from me and have him bring them out only on Sundays....**sigh** The scales don't give me the same number =( Oh wells it.
Food intake is good, water intake is good.....moving when I can. I bought two 3 pound weights and two 5 pound weights. I looked at things to help with crunches/sit ups....I'm not too sure about those things...lol. Hugs, I have to get going. =)

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Liss, you're a hoot ... one scale wasn't enough to torture yourself with?! I can barely handle dealing with one

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

I need to pack up my scale. I have not moved on the numbers in a while but things seem to be shifting. I lost another inch from my hips and 3/4 inch from my waist this week. My thighs are much smaller. I wish I had been measuring them but I didnt. I can tell by how my pants fit there is definite leg room.
I have decided to not weigh myself until Halloween night. I signed up for all the old challenges. The abs, squats,and push-ups. All modified in my own special way.
I love October..it gives me that restless spirit where you can feel nature bracing for winter. Just sitting outside in the crisp air makes me feel more alive.

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

It's been a week since I started this challenge. Here's a brief update on what's been happening.
: No cheating since I started
: I exercised 5 times this week
: Been drinking my water, and more
: lost 5 lbs
: best of all the inches are starting to drop, and my pants are getting looser. Size 16 here I come!

Hope everyone is having as much success as I am!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

I'm in.....
I would like to lose 10lbs by Halloween.
I would love to weigh myself but I did the no scale challenge.
Drink my 88oz of water daily
do some running on the treadmill

(my halloween costume is the "fat guy" from Austin Powers so no skimpy halloween costume for me)

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Happy October everyone!! Congrats to everyone for sticking with the challenge so far, and hopefully we'll have even more people join now that it's officially the month o' Halloween fun!


Hope everyone is doing well on their goals! Are you excited for Halloween? I was updating my myspace page with songs from classic Halloween movies and stumbled across this goodie from back in the day, anyone else remember it??



Ha! Good times! Although my favorite Halloween movie has got to be:



"Amok! Amok! Amok!"

What about you?

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Hey there, fellow Challengers! Staying the course with my goals ... exercising like a fiend, eating properly, drinking plenty of water, taking vitamins, posting here daily. Looking forward to dressing up in my extremely silly costume and having DH take pics

Nice poster art, Bunny ... I remember Hocus Pocus but the other one was way after my time ... I'm old enough to remember the horror classics from the 50s! My fav Halloween movie is Ed Wood, the goofy Tim Burton film that pays homage to a guy some consider the worst film director of all time!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Hi. I would also like to sign for a challenge - drink enough water, finish induction, stop diet sodas all together/ now i drink one a day/, do yoga daily, and aerobic exercise 5 times a week. Lose 1-1.5 kilogram

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

The kids and I watch Hocus Pocus! I am also a big casper fan so I love the latest casper movie. I dont like gory scary movies...I wont watch them! I do like the paranormal stuff though. Has anybody seen TAPS the ghosthunters show. My husband and I both love watching them. They are on Wed. Nights on the Sci-Fi channel.

Its a lot of fun when they do find something they cant explain. I went to Wal mart and they have a Ton of Adult costumes for anyone who needs one. I really want the wicked queen from snow white. I think I will have to check Ebay for that one!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

TGIF, my fellow challenge buddies! Are ya ready for the weekend? I sure am!

How's everyone doing on their goals? I'm happy that the scale (evil monster that it is) budged a little more this morning. I should probably do away with it, but I just can't bring myself to break the habit. Gimme time, gimme time. This afternoon I'm checking out a new gym that opened 5 minutes from my house. I belong to a gym already but it's a good 25 minutes away and I always find all kinds of excuses not to go, I'm hoping I like this closer gym and I'll be able to go more often.

And how are those costume ideas coming along? Yesterday we bought our baby girl her costume (it's her first Halloween, she'll be 4 months old!). She's going to be a pumpkin - so cute!

Let us know how you're doing, any successes, any challenges you need help with! It's always easier when you have friends to help you through the tough spots!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

I'm with you, Bunny ... mutual support is key!

The new gym sounds like a winner ... 5 minutes away? Cool!

Your li'l baby pumpkin will be adorable! Looking forward to pics

Razzle, I love the idea of the Wicked Queen ... what fun! My costume is 90% finished ... I will say no more

Hi, Violetka ... good goals ... best of luck to you!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!
