    Water = 9 pts

    Badger, I'm gonna join you as my pants (16) are literally falling off. First time in years I need to buy a belt! Haven't tried on smaller yet as I think a few more pounds will have me down 2 sizes - can't wait.

    hi ladies, Happy Friday! ♥

    Friday check-in = 3 points

    Weight down = 2 points  woo hoo!

    Exercise = 14 points (with all the snow this week, I did 3 hours Shovel & Sculpt)

    Daily H2O = 7 points

    Extra credit = 1 point - I've been tracking food & nutrition, exercise & weight loss on loseit.com.  It's really helping me to be accountable to myself.  As a motivational tool, they award you 'badges' when you reach certain milestones.  So far I've earned the regular badge (log every day for two weeks), exercise buff (exercise at least 3x per week for two weeks), dedicated (log every day for four weeks), exercise hound (exercise at least 3x per week for four weeks), and the Ten Pound (weight loss) Club.  Hokey but fun!

    Total = 27

    Hi Birdies, I've had a terrible cold this week. I can't remember the last time I had a cold and it came with such sinus pressure. And I can't tell you how many times I've sneezed. Aaa-choo. I've been walking around with a tissue box! But, after lots of chicken broth and rest, I think I'm on the mend. And I've been to two funerals this week. One for a 90 year old and one for a 20 year old.

    Friday ~ 0

    Water ~ 7

    Weight Down (161.9) ~ 2

    Exercise ~ 0 (Does coughing count?)

    Total ~ 9

    Patoo--I've been tracking and using 1 point for each 16 ounces.

    Zogo--having a cold is NO FUN.Two funerals is not fun either.A 20 year old?That must have been unexpected.Coughing and sneezing should count as exercise!

    Thanks, NM, my sentiments exactly!

    Now I have to resist the Girl Scouts - it's cookie time here and they're EVERYWHERE!  Shocked

    I haven't had a Girl Scout cookie in years! Good thing nobody rang my doorbell. I used to have cravings for things like that, but I think I'm past it. I don't even walk down the cookie/chip aisle at the store. To me now, sugar is poison, and it doesn't even call my name anymore.

    Friday ~ 3

    Water ~ 7 (I get in about 100 oz/day)

    Wt (162.2) ~ 0

    Exercise ~ 4

    Extra Credit ~ 1 I actually got out the P90X program and did the Chest and Back one. Mostly a bunch of push-up and Pull-up (for which I must use a chair to help) and Man was I sore! Also, I finally had my appointment with a Naturopathic doctor. It was very interesting. She thinks I may have leaky gut, so I will by trying some digestive enzymes.

    Total ~ 15

    Stay warm, it's brutal out there!

    Extra Credit:got prescriptions refilled on meds I have been out of for a month= 1 point

    Total = 7.96

    Yikes.Haven't been feeling so hot, tired and fighting a sinus infection, haven't been paying attention to eating or drinking, obviously I need to get back to do that!So, my "mini goal" is 8 points on water this coming week.That's 32 ounces 4 days of the week. Baby steps.


    Zogo--Not even tempted to walk down the cookie aisle at the store?You are GOOD!It is definitely brutal out there, you'd think we'd burn lots of extra calories just staying warm!

    Friday Check in =0 points

    Weight:229 # =2 points

    Water Intake = 4points

    Exercise:12 very active minutes = 0.4 points

    Extra Credit:survived being in a 75 car pile up that totaled my car = 1 point

    Total = 7.04

    If you saw/heard about a big pile up in Maine on Wednesday I was in the middle of it.End count is 75+, possibly 100 vehicles, only 4 serious injuries, no fatalities.I had gotten stopped, then got rear ended, hard, and pushed into the pile by subsequent hits.Totally terrifying.

    Badger--Congrats on the new E-LAB low!

    Zogo--Menopause is as good an excuse as any! Happy birthday and Happy Anniversary!

    Patoo--Nice drop in the blood glucose!That's even more important than weight loss!
