Nancy F: Still hanging in there and feeling better and better!
Stephanie S: This week went better! Still had so much going on, but I felt better only splurging in one evening rather than the whole day. I'm still feeling good and that's what counts, but man, I would just love to lose this tummy! =)
Kathy C: This week was hard! Novelty has worn off, I guess. This is when I decide if these are going to become real lifestyle changes.
Veronica A : I am seriously losing steam. What does help is when Jayme C. tries to encourage me to eat a goodie or mess up! That makes me feisty and ready to stay on the wagon!
Carmie B: To think I lost 6 lbs and 1 inch in the waist - if only I worked a little bit harder!! But I feel all the positives in this challenge - I'm happier and more positive in both mind and spirit!
Nancy S: 70...Whoop Whoop!!!
Margie Ree: After 4 birthday parties and no cake I am very proud of myself :+)
Joanie U: I had a wonderful complement from one of my colleagues last week. She stopped me, looked at me and said, "You look great - that Wellness Challenge must really be working for you." Well, it made my day!
Don W: I am still "hanging" but sometimes by my neck!Yesterday was a busy, busy day. We returned from Glendora at 10:40 p.m. and
I had not had any opportunity to exercise. So, I had to send Sandy to bed
and hit the streets. Unfortunately, it was cold, and I am still coughing
from the experience - but I got it done!
Jessica L: Hanging in there is right...this week was rough. But I kept up with my points and made 70 :) Staying motivated is what I think will be hard this next week especially starting back to school. I will be doing lots of praying!
Jen W: I must say...I'm barely hangin in there these days!!! I sometimes just don't want to think about the points...is this bad??? maybe I was just having an off week....hopefully :) So happy you all are still in...we have quite a few with 70 points every week...yikes...looks like I better get a better attitude...quick!
Lisa Rad: life continues to be a little wild in my world. The children started a new school a week ago, and we are all adjusting to that, and we are still adjusting to life without our beloved kitty of 17 years who died 2 (3?) weeks ago..sad for us all we surely miss him. I’m finding solace in the journaling and reading of the inspirational text…it gives me order in my mind and I find it’s a little less cluttered. And, I think that is the whole battle.
Kirsten P:I have this horrible cold and my stomach was cramping up and I felt very sick...so one day...I didn't exercise...but the other days I was training for a 5k! Getting back out there to run very soon! :)
Sharesse S: I have lost 7.2 lbs so far!
Megan A: 70 points this week--and I got to celebrate my sisters birthday in proper style with hot fudge sundae's...thanks to the second cheat day that a birthday affords. Happy Birthday Kim S.!
Melissa Z: I found it possible even with being on vacation and with snow! Wohoo!
Jayme C: my thoughts this week. I'm beginning to seriously dislike this challenge. I started this in Nov 2009 in another 3 month challenge and was so Alive. Wanted so bad to be in another challenge and Now...well I could just walk away. Why? I still want to do this deep down inside and yet I want the privilege of not doing it. Sure I could throw in the towel but I know deep down inside that some of the things I had a problem with before are still knocking on my back door. During this week I even could not believe that I ate past 8 (after having a free day, which I never took before) and sweet Jen said but when you took a free day you eat past 8? No I didn't, I was all worried that "I lost" and this was all over an egg and a carrot. Hello is that not healthy? Daylight savings time why did you play with me? Oh this is all becoming a blur! I don't like to give up and I will not...oh gosh do I need a kick in the pants to wake up the "I'm on a challenge" So now lets start another week of a Challenge but think of it as another week of conquering to live in a a healthy life style. I need to be easy on myself...it's OK to use a point, it's OK to use a freeday. That's why it is there. This weekend I went to a Women's Conference and I would like to use her comment "if you are not enjoying what you are doing you will give up!" (I thougth of this challenge) Bring back the joy!
