Hey everyone ~ You have such a fun team here!  If only I was playing ~ hehehe ;)

Anyway ~ please welcome a new team member Twood621, formerly a Hooligan.  But she's ready to Kick A$$ and I hope you'll all make Gr8 friends :)

Nomo should be around tomorrow to get Twood up to speed on all your team particulars :)

Anyway ~ Thanks Gang :)  Have a Gr8 weekend :)  jules (games hostess)

Nomo,

I sent you an email with my points for the first five weeks.  Let me know if you got it.  I sent the entire team's spreadsheet but if you want me to just send you my points I can do that too.  I figured it may be easier to cut and paste it on to yours if you guys accept me as a member :).

Excellent information on Kegel exercise a must for women especially to do.

My motivational (I hope) speech.

Each moment I will make a healthy choice irregardless of the choices that I have made in the past or will make in the future. If I crave something I will have a serving size portion of that item...whether it is a piece of cake or a stalk of celery.  I will focus more on what I should eat than on what I shouldn't eat.  I will continue to go to holiday events, out to restaurants, and parties.  I will choose the best choices available and stick to "a portion" size of that choice.  I will not give up anything that I love; chocolate, bread, muffins, or a margarita.  I will learn to eat these items less often and in smaller portions.  I will focus on what I like, not what the world is telling me to like.  I will rejoice each pound I lose and I will not beat myself up for how long it takes me to lose it.  I will not sweat the small ups and downs of the scale but I will never let it go back up to where it was.  I will visit CC and I will be healthier.

twood,

I didn't get your email, but I sent you an email this morning...

I've got to revise our opening post up there...

I'm aware of cecily needing to drop out due to... her life  =)

IS EVERYBODY ELSE STILL PLAYING?

Matisse, I see you are .....  YAAAAAYYYY Matisse!!!!!!!!

thanks all....

*\O/*

Thanks for understanding Nomo.  :)  I don't know what my problem has been lately, but I'm hoping to figure it out soon.  I'm still trying to find myself.  I'm reevaluating my goals, and I hope to be back in the full swing of things soon!

Meanwhile, I'm still cheering for y'all!

We LOVE our cheerleaders!!!!!

(where has salome been lately anyhoo?)    ;)

I feel ya - I've got so much to do to get ready for my trip next week and I'm so excited.... it's hard to fit it all in and I'm sure would be doubly hard if I had widdle bitty one like you do.  Mine is mostly grown and wears a ladies size 9 shoe now...  =)

We got her halloween costume yesterday - she's a go go dancer from the 60's - looks very cute, I must say....

For the recipe challenge this week, I can't remember who's turn it is... finewine and bubblychick?

The cuisine is pasific islander ~ Asian

I will post a recipe to our submission thread and if anybody else wants to, feel free.  It's a chance to get bonus points, right?

and if finewine or bubblychick post recipes....  that would be just dandy

=)

Nomo even though things are tough for me,  I am still playing. :)

Yay Rahana!  Way to go girl!

Sometimes you have to redefine your goals to accomodate other things in your life...  You used to exercise 5 or 6 times a week. Now, 1 or 2 real workouts a week will be great for you.  Also, you could use a pedometer and measure your steps instead of doing an 'official' workout.

Do you already do that?

Week 7 Challenge ~ Emerge a Butterfly!!!  Thursday, 10/19 - Wednesday, 10/25

So, what's up for week 7 ~ Emerge A Butterfly??? 

It's the Grand Finale ~ Game Plan Week!  A chance to look back and note the changes in our plans!  Plan for the Upcoming Holidays!  Figure out how to continue our Journey!

Ready to read all about it and pick up your Week 7 challenge and parts here!  No points sheet for week 7!  

The Points!  This week is a little Different!  This week we're not doing points by part! 

• In Part 3, we ask you to email your brain bender answer to brain.bender@hotmail.com for a trick or treat!  The Games Coordinators will give your bonus points for the brain bender to your scorekeeper.
• In Part 8, we would like you to share your "Game Plan" and post it on the Team Submission Thread for a trick or treat!  The Games Coordinators will give your bonus points to your scorekeeper.
• No points for Part 2 ~ it's just some fun information and quizzes that look back over the games
• No points for Parts 1 and 5 ~ it's all about you and your goals!  Do you want to take a minute to look back at your goals when you started.  See how far you've come?  Maybe plan a bit for the future?
• No points for the rest of the Parts like Part 4 Main Dish Recipes, Part 6 Googled Links, and Part 7 Motivation Statements ~ thought we would share the submissions from everyone.  You can bookmark these for later when you have more time to peruse or want a new recipe to try?

Need the New, Updated & Current Games Directory?  Team Roster?



pssst!  1 last leetle thing! ~ If you are still participating in the Challenge, then you have won!  Perhaps you even learned a little more about what you like and dislike, what you enjoy, and perhaps you set a few new goals.  Perhaps you discovered new tools and the wealth of health, nutrition and exercise information available here at calorie-count and on the net.  Perhaps you met a new friend or two, strengthened your friendship with old friends,  enjoyed the journey together. 

The really gr8 news!  The games may be over but we don't have to part!  We look forward to seeing you around calorie-count for a long time to come :)

Cheers, United2gether, Garnet77, Kalkette, Beanie1125 ~ your Friends & Games Coordinators :)
