Did the challenge start yesterday? Oops... Drank some water already today (only 7 glasses to go...) about to do some Pilates...

nope the challenge starts today (ie Nov 5)...but flowerfluff lives hm, 16 hours in the future? did i get that right? :lol:

LOL - I guess I forgot to factor in the time change.

:lol: Shy

Hahahaha sorry NIC! Yesterday I was reading the threads and noitced that I was the only one that had started - so as not to feel like a cheat or anything (hahaha) I typed a reminder about some people being a day ahead and then I read it a few times and decided against posting it. I so saw it coming LOL. Anyway, I'm glad it's all cleared up for everyone.

So anyway, good luck with your challenges and you're welcome to PM me anytime to figure out cheating stategies and ways to sabotage the other teams. Wait...did I just say that out loud?

:lol:

Hey Fluff! Where did you get those cute little smilies?

Hey Cherri, got 'em at Bestsmilies. You just go to the main index and pick out which subject you want. There are all kinds. There is another really good site, but I forgot to bookmark last time I was there. I'll have to look it up and I'll get back to ya. :)

Ok...there's some good ones at mysmilies. I like these sites because there are no popups or downloads.

Thanks for the fo Fluff! I was going to ask as well.

Thanks Fluff -as you can see I found some new smilies already (and my teenage daughter explained to me how to use them, lol) :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Yeah noticed the smilies, they are soooo cute. Great work on your first day Nic. Look forward to seeing new smilies soon. :)

PS...Planet smilie is also really cool. It has megaloads of smilies. None of those nasty popups or anything. Think I'll be going with them from now on. :)

Thanks Fluff - seeing that you've already done the water and excercise is very inspiring. I think the water will be my main focus this week since I have been embarassingly lax with that. :blush:

Thanks Fluff, I'll check out those sites!

ROFL i can't believe there is a smiley drinking water! :lol: that's hilarious, i love it!

EDIT: they are both drinking water??? oh my...that's even better hehe

7.30am...exercise done for today. Water done. :)

How are you going with water? I'm really lucky because it's super humid and quite hot here, but I can imagine it may be a little more difficult for you. Do you think black tea would count? It would probably be an easier option if you're in a colder climate.

LOL Fluff. I think green tea should count. The water is driving me nuts but hey I did it - gotta edit my smilies now.

I didn't know how lax i was getting on drinking my water until i started counting. I used to drink a gallon plus a day with no problem...now its another story.

Fluff I love your smilie patterns - very cute!

:lol: does the water count if you spit it out though? :wacko:

LOL please say yes ! i can definatelyl spit out 2 litres of water a day :lol:

:cheer: YOU CAN DO IT NicC & Flowerfluffgirl, WOOOT!! :D

Haaha you girls are a crackup!

Ok, so no exercise yesterday. I just made the minimum water because of it. Today I've been for a short walk and got halfway through training this morning (feeling queasy -how do you spell that???) - so I only counted as 30 mins. Will tak a walk later with dog. Then I will feel satisfied.

Oh Fluff - I hope you are ok. Feel better soon... :huggs:

hope you feel better too! take care of yourself first- challenge or no challenge. :flowers:

Didn't walk yesterday, but did today. halfway through water. Will check in tomorrow. Can't wait to see what weigh in is gonna be!

Nic you are an exercise superstar!!! Very nice chicky, I'm impressed. :thumbsup:

Thanks Fluff - unfortunately on the weekends there's little time for formal exercise (work etc) but I will try to walk one of the days and the other day will be my official day off.. Have not started the water today but I will bring my big purple bottle to work. :cheer: Hope you are not feeling dizzy anymore.

Well very successful week 1 for us I say.

For this weeks challenge I'm going to stick with 1300-1600cals. I will keep my food diary in the food section, but post my totals here. Food is my downfall, so hopefully this will put me in check!

OMG awesome fluff :fantastic: - I'm still on the first week it's not even early evening here yet (which is good because I have to finish the water for today)...
I'll weigh in when it's actually Monday here. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hahahaha, it's funny me being lunchtime Monday and you being Sunday night. Can't wait to see your weigh in. With all that exercise, I'm expecting big things from ya - no pressure... hahahaha.

NO pressure??? :lol: :blush: we'll um see in the morning...

Ah crappers...didn't reach my minimum cals. My hubby even bought a mudcake, but I'm so hot right now, just have no appetite whatsoever. I've stuffed myself with water and I easily could have skipped dinner. I'll try make up for it with exercise tomorrow. :)

Monday TOTAL: 1235

Hee hee making the minimum is usually not my problem. :blush:

Congrats on the loss Nic!!! You did a great job for us this week. I'm proud of ya.

:yourock:

So last night I felt terrible for not reaching the minimum food. So I had a small peice of flat bread and heaped it with a spoonful of rice and some curry sauce from my husbands dinner. That has got to be worth around 100 cals. I made the food goal - woohoo.

Still hot over there? You must be burning calories just trying to cool your body...

Yep mega hot. We slept out in our games room last night because there is air con in there. The kids thought it was a party, with their matresses all over the floor lol. But great news, our new system was installed in the house today and it's so good, you don't even care that it's blowing out that 'new' stink. I've decided not to change my food goal. I'll get some dips today and have a couple of crackers with dip. They are quite high in cals, so that should help. It's 4pm and I'm only up to 750cals rrrr. I honestly didn't think I'd find food so tough!

Yippee! I'm glad to hear that your air got fixed!!! :danceparty:

:danceparty: :danceparty: :danceparty: I'm glad you have working air conditioning now - that's fantastic!
