New Week

Hey all.

I can't move. My back hates me. Hard 20 points for exercising today, but harder than with the cough.....? I shall let you know.

I've heard from Jane, who can't do Monday night, but can do Tuesday night. Dan will be out of town Tuesday, but if everybody else can do Tuesday, then there you go. Mark? How 'bout if we let him decide if it's easier to head down to Mama's, or do it in SLC at my house. Mark, you are the decider today, I think.

Lastly: yesterday was the most controlled free day I have ever had. I'm extremely proud of myself. Maybe old dogs CAN learn new tricks. :)

I'm here!

Hey Gang!

Great day of spiritual nourishment today! I am so grateful for the Sabbath day to recharge!

I'm with dad-- it is hard to get back into the swing of things! I almost forgot about blogging today! I have been without a phone the last few days and not even been home enough to check my email. Sorry, everyone!

I think Dale's idea of 4 people getting a "piece of the pie" is great!

We do need to meet and pay our dues and discuss the rules.

Tuesday we will already be at my parents house for piano??? We could meet there or we could meet up at Laureen's after Mark gets off work?

Thoughts?

Anybody there?

Two things:

1. Yoo? Hellooo? Anybody there? Who can get together tomorrow or Tuesday so we's can get this thing going? Haven't heard from anyone. At any rate, I hope everyone is keeping track of his/her points as of Friday, January 28 - DAY ONE. OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

2. Sunday. Free day. I'm happy to report that I am just looking forward to a good meal at my parents' house - monthly FHE - including dessert, and then back to our regularly scheduled program. I am really glad to have that parameter of goodies only once a week, back in place. I can't properly explain what it is......yet. Of course, you can count on me to try, the minute I think I can!

Back in the hang of it

New routines are hard to adopt - be it blogging or eating or watering...

Happy Day 2

K! Got a late start with the working out, but cooling down is the perfect time to blog, so HELLOOO! Those endorphins make me sooooo happy.

So. We need to meet. We need to pay. We need to go over the rules. I had sent everyone an e-mail ('cept Mark & Brett) with suggestions; I'll forward it to everyone again. When does everyone want to meet?

Dale had a great suggestion. Since we don't have a big crowd this time around, what do you say we compete individually, and split the pot like a golf tournament? (bear in mind, I got this all from Dale)
1st place - takes 50% of the pot
2nd place - takes 25% of the pot
3rd place - takes 15% of the pot
4th place - takes 10% of the pot

That could really keep us incentivized (I just made that word up, I think - how do you like it?). And as I mentioned in the e-mail, I do think we should have a bonus at the end for most weight lost, but not so much that it can make up for 8 weeks of stinky points/habits.

One more thing. I've said it before. I'll say it again. Vegetables are the key to the kingdom. That's all.

Hi Everyone!

Glad to get this going!

I have a few questions/needs:

1)- I need everyone's goals to post in the bar up at the top.

2)- Are we doing teams or singles?

3)- How long is this contest: 8 or 12 weeks?

4)- The rules have been changed by the previous users, so I need some veteran's to help get them to where we want them for our contest!

5)- Who are we paying?

6)- What do you want me to add/take away from the blog? Changes? Things you don't like? Please let me know.

GAME ON!

5 points

Go me. So, the plus of getting up early - gettin' started on that water! Happily, that is the best good habit that has stuck from doing this contest.

Soooo glad we're back! Good luck everyone. Can't wait to get your good ideas, epiphanies, etc.

GAME ON!

Just gettin' started

An' away we go...
