lmao that is too funny KT, but sooooo right!!

I just added a couple cups of sugar to my lunch... does that count??

*sneaks in steals a vk's healthy stuff and leaves the sweets *

ummmmmmmmm yes tv!!!  lol hehe

dang sleepy is sneaky!!!  haha

i actually just had straight sugar for lunch and it was mmmm mmmmm tasty! haha j/k

don't think i've had any sugar today! but that's not a stretch for me really.

so i'm having a decent day. a guy i work w/ is kinda pushin some buttons to get things movin at work. he made it clear to those in charget hat i am lookin for a new job b/c of their lack of movement on the reviews. so i'm hoping that will shake things up and get things going! in teh meantime i will apply to some jobs and see where it gets me!

ok todays post, for sugar count, 0 not to hard to do!!

YEAH, i hope that works at th job!!  Keep your head up though!!

Hello everyone. Sorry that I've been out of touch but it just got crazy today at work. I'm actually still here.

HELLO to all the new people

Val you really have to try Splenda. It good stuff.

Chris WOW awesome on the 20 lbs. This whole team rocks.

KT LOL I love saying that common sense isn't common I also like saying I don't have a battle of WITS with people that are unarmed but that is only when I'm being mean

Ok so if I understand the challenge the main thing is just staying away from SUGAR. Man that is sooooo easy. Not going to say I don't have anything that doesn't have sugar in it but I really try to limit that monster.

Ok so went to the gym today. ran a mile and then worked out my back. I think I'll go home and do crunches. I really enjoyed that.

Just a thought, for the week were we have to pick the challenge can we do water or cardio/exercise?

Ok well I have to go pick up my kids. Talk to ya'll 2morrow

hey don! glad to see you back!

i like the cardio idea also!

YAY don is speaking, or typing to us!!!   lol  we have missed ya!!

Cardio sounds good to me, i dont care what we do as a challenge, i think cardio would push me cause i have been lazy the last couple of weeks, back on track today....walked 2 miles, yes no running cause i still have a lil chest cold left, i ran through half a song, like 2 min lol thats it, mowed thats a workout, and getting ready to do crunches, gotta get back to weight, i cant remeber the last time i did them, but there is no air conditioning in my gym here at home, maybe that is why i have been lazy...well minus crunches last week, but that was easy....

speaking of last week, how did everyone measure after all them crunches?  I know VAL lost 1/2 inch, I lost .75.....thats pretty darn good for 1 week!!  what is everyone else at??

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH   KT guess what tomorrow is, bet ya get it on 1 guess!!  HEHE you BF's back!!!!  weeeeeeeeeeeee as we tell Dylen 1 more sleep then ________.  we fill in the blank with whatever he wants to do lol

GJ DON, you got a good workout in today!!  keep up the great work!! 

Where did VAL disappear to today, she just left us hanging waaaaaaaaaaaaa, wiping my tears!!

ok guys off to eat SPOONFULLS OF SUGAR.......oops i mean grapes lol

*scratches head*  I'm trying to figure out where all my healthy food went???  Lol

I hit the road and went to try to find those darn elusive shorts.  I still haven't found anything worth actually buying that doesn't cost too much.  I did find a casual backpack to wear while on vacation so I'm not lugging my purse around.  Then..dinner.

Yeah...Don's back.  We missed ya dude!

You guys are nuts with the cups of sugar...are you all bouncing off the walls???  Lol

gone a few days (away from my computer anyway) ... and I've had to read SIX PAGES of posts !!! 
I've been reading, laughing and scratching my head on this challenge.  I'm taking it as No ADDED sugar to foods, or anything SWEET (ie, drinks, treats, etc).  Natural sugars (veggies, fruits, etc) would be fine and products with limited amts of sugar in the ingredients are also ok.

Chris - GJ on the 20++ :-)
Katie - I'm sure we won't "see" much of you on Wednesday (heehee)
Val - you NEVER cease to make me smile ...
Don - amazing workouts Mister !! Keep it up !!
trv - Welcome to the most AWESOME TEAM !!

I'm for the water or cardio for our challenge.  I think I am READY to get my Nordic Trak out (TOO HOT for outside activities here too).

Chris - didn't measure myself yet - will check tomorrow.

Well, Off to bed.  I'll "see you all" tomorrow !!

Wow you guys I am really sorry for being an unsocial member of the team.  I can't even keep up.... 

I've been doing really well, and so have all of you guys!

Good job winning the crunches challenge <-- that was great even without the entire team. 

Congrats Chris, 20 lbs in 6 weeks, way to go! 

KT, you made it through the past few weeks without your boyfriend, but you get to pick him up today, you need to go on a nice long date together tonight --- just no sugar included  haha! 

Welcome to the team TRV!!!  

I am so happy to be a part of the team... And this no sugar challenge is actually really easy..... I think we will rock the challenge this week! 

Good morning all

good to see that more people are joining into the discussions.

Judi, I know what you mean. It took me forever to get caught up but it was pretty funny reading some of the post.

Jess, good to hear that you are doing well.

Tess, good to hear from you. How is it going with the gym.

I didn't go this morning, boooooooo. I just couldn't get up. I'll go after work.

Hey just a real quick question, we can use sweetners like splenda right?

KT - read your letter. did you want us to give you feedback here or on the post with the letter?

Hey I wanted to tell you all something that happened here at work yesterday. It is a good reminder. The building that I work in is pretty secure for the most part. You need a badge to actually get into the working stations (cube world) however not for the bathrooms. A man got on our floor and went into the womens restroom yesterday. He stuck his head under a stall while it was in use. Luckily the girl in there had a cell phone and called one of the guys here to come help here. The perp heard her making the call and took off. When the cops arrived they searched the whole building (17 floors) but did not find him.

Well I just wanted to share that to remind all of you awesome people to always keep your eyes open and to be careful. Sorry for the downer but I think it was worth mentioning.

HASTA

Haha Don, I was about to ask Kt the same question. 

I hope we can use splenda because I'm heading down at lunch today to buy some to use in my oatmeal.  I looked around here but all we carry is Equal.  I heard it's not the same.  Cross your fingers that it works for me.  Otherwise I'll have to try the applesauce idea someone else told me about.

That's pretty scary Don.  And when in the stalls you're in a very vulnerable position!  Our building isn't very secure at all but they'd have to get past our receptionist that has direct access to our security...off duty local cops.  That makes us feel safe that we have quite a few around at all times.

Jess/Tess-glad to see you two back!!!  We missed ya!  :)

Tess, that game is pretty funny.  I gotta frying pan and I'm not afraid to use it!

GMMMMMMMMMMMM H4lers!!!!

I am up before 11 today YAY!!!!  last few days i haent been to sleep till 5 am, im soooooooooooo over not being able to sleep like a normal person!!

Hi ya JUDI, it is definatly too hot!!  But boy when i do outside stuff i drink a ton of water!!

TESS/VAL-you  are really making me want to get this game!!!

wtg TRV, on your no sugar day!!!  I will have to say, i have learned alot from all of our challenges, and have really got me to do things i never wold of before!!

JESS-glad to see you back, did you hae a good vacation?

DON-thats a scarey story, thanks for sharing!! Reminds me of something from a scary movie!! Yes we can use slenda!!

VAL-i think u will like splenda, well i hops since i  have been raving about it!!

KT-i think your letter is good, i would try to shorten it a tad, to keep peoples attention, short and to the point!!

Tonight i am going to the baseball game with one of my best friends, should be fun, its a minor league team we have here, not the KC royals, its the t-boes, but should be fun, i love their ball park, its always fun out there!!  Will be nice to do a girls night, lol i never do that!!  Last time her and i had alone time was when her and i took a road trip to canada to visit her parents, and friends wedding lol was a blast!!  Usually we always have hubby and kids with us!!

Ok guys HaPpY TuEsDaY!!

you guys can give me feedback anywhere. thanks for reading it!

don- luckily our building is very secure, all doors are locked if the receptionist isn't up front. and our bathrooms are individual ones, not stalls sot hats really nice. glad everyone there is okay!

i'm pickin up the b/f in 3 hours! i couldn't sleep last night b/c i was so excited to finally see him. he's in LA right now! woohoo back in cali!

I'd shorten it a bit too kt.  Hmm, maybe the second paragraph.  Woohoo for the bf being back already.  Now go get that boy and...

Chris, have fun at the game today.  Sports events are always so fun to go to.  They get me so hyped up.  Who are they playing?
