Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Oh goodie ... more Halloweenies! Hi Laura, hi gman!

So how's everyone today? Started out with a cup o' joe and a coupla hen fruits; went for a brisk walk around the park (dodging Muscovy ducks and squirrels along the way); did the grocery shopping (hooray! they had fresh turkey breast!); hustled through the Domestic Engineer routine and here I sit.

Hen Fruits!! LOL I love it. Thats what I am going to call them. I have all my halloween pumpkin decorations up all ready. I dress up every Halloween to hand out candy! I love Halloween..all the lil ones in thier costumes.

I really want to join this challenge but I am having a difficult time coming up with goals. I suffered a Traumatic Brain injury in July. My doctor will not release me yet for heart pumping exercise. I have lost 16 pounds in 6 weeks. I joined the water challenge, abs challenge, push up challenge, and Squat challenge. To be where I want to be I would like to lose another 16 pounds by Halloween.

Ok...I am going to make that my goal. I am going to have to get creative with ideas for exercise. That is my goal!

16 Pound loss By Boo-Night!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

Woo hoo! Great to see more people joining!

FLdoodette - I know exactly what you mean about sitting on the computer all day = the expansion of my rear. Plus I have a desk job so I feel like I'm sitting ALL DAY! They should attach laptops to treadmills or something.

I've been doing fairly good on my challenge goals, I could probably be drinking more water and will try to put more effort into that. After not losing any weight for almost two weeks the scale FINALLY moved a little bit this morning. Not much, but a little. There is hope!! I'll fit into that Halloween costume yet, darn it!!

Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

I'll take this challenge too!
My goals are to
1. Remain smoke free (why lose weight to get in better shape/health to smoke right?)
2. Lose enough to fit into a smaller pair of jeans (about 10 pounds). Boxing up the jeans I can fit no more.
3. Continue to drink my water- (I never drank enough water in my life-so this is going be challenging.)
4. Make time to exercise


Reward- New pair Levis or arizona's and a bottle of perfume. *definately should have the extra $ from not buying smokes* YeSsssSsssss!!!!
