BAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :crying::rofl::lol: omg thats too funny. Have u ever seen a whale try to do jumping jacks? I think it would be more damaging to do those than to eat a banana split. I'll let my alter ego do them..does that count? hey, they say u burn calories if ur heart rate is elevated... so .. if thinking about doing exercises causes my heart rate to rise.....that's technically exercise, right :yes:

Yes, amal, you can watch a scary movie instead of doing jumping jacks. :P

SAWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET. I'm all over THAT!

Totally didn't stick to any diet whatsoever over the weekend. I didn't feel well enough to put forth the effort of starving. I'm back today to see if I can do it. Not weighed in yet either....no use since I"m sure I gained at least 5 pounds over the weekend. *sigh* at least it was a tasty coupla days :thumbs:

I don't trust the support beams in my house enough to do the jumping jacks.

If I tried to turn my feet out and spread my legs 3 feet apart (while standing :P) I'd collapse flat on the floor.

The only crunching I'm doing is eating celery.

I'm finding the weekends difficult to watch what I'm eating too. This weekend, for example, I didn't leave the house at all...I was just studying the whole time. And I get bored and want a distraction, and sorry but sliced red peppers aren't going to cut it, lol. It's so much easier to stick to it during the work week. Now I remember why I gained weight in college!

i don't know what happened to me. i was doing so well.... then i happened to walk by baskin robbins on my way somewhere last night and i just wandered in like in a trance and ordered a cone with mint chip and pralines and cream and gobbled it down before i could realize what a HUGE mistake i made.

*sigh* at least today i'm being good.

p.s. i also happened to buy a big bottle of bailey's (and i haven't had a drink in FOREVER let alone a drink made out of CREAM ugh!!!) i didn't drink any...but its there in the garage fridge. hopefully i'll forget its there since its not the regular fridge. :help:

That sounds like me and smoking...outta the blue i'll trancelike, wander thru the cigarette lane at wally-world and next thing I know, I'm asking for my brand and forking over hte money for them. My problem is that I hate to see them go to waste so I smoke them and have to quit all over again.... there is no happy medium.

I just figured out a great way to do crunches. sit the bowl of cheezy poofs at our feets and lay back. we have to sit up to take a handfull so we'd get a few in, right??

hahahahahaha

Ok gals I'm game. My little sister is getting married in November and I'm a flapper girl in the wedding (20's theme). So word has it I need to look sexy.

So I started today, pretty healthy lunch and breakfast I guess and I did a 45 minute workout, did a mile on the eliptical and a mile on the treadmill, about 250 calories burned! Not too bad of a start.

Hubby and I also decided we would cut our meat down to 3 dinners a week. So I'm on the hunt for vegerarian recipes..........

What's our challenge (I love this idea!!)

May 11 '09 - Case Approved 10 yr card in the mail

June - 10 yr card recieved

Feb. 19, 2010 - N-400 Application sent to Phoenix Lockbox

April 3, 2010 - Biometrics

May 17,2010 - Citizenship Test - Minneapolis, MN

July 16, 2010- Retest (writing portion)

October 13, 2010 - Oath Ceremony

Journey Complete!
