Doin' It By The 10's (Team 10) ~ 1/31

[mommiematters]

HELLO!!!!

I cant wait to get all the stats posted!!! Jarret weighed this morning and he is down 19 lbs!!! He is going to measure when he gets home. I can already tell such a difference in his stomach. Not that he isnt the most handsome guy in the world already!!!

Speaking of church. I cannot wait till Feb 13. We are having a Creation Scientisit coming to our church. He will be there for 5 services to talk about creation science. We are young-earth believers. My family is so into this. We cannot wait.

As for personal info. I will get all of that emailed out to every one tonight. If you want to send me your birthdays I would appreciate it.

Gini- Thank you for being so supportive of Jarret even though he doesnt post much. Your stats are AWESOME!!!!

Mary- I am so glad church went well for you yesterday. My goodness woman you are going to shrink away on us if you keep losing inches they way you are. How is your back?? Thank you for being so honest. But, please dont let is keep you down. We all make mistakes. We all have to get back up and make sure we are more determined.

Kim- Yes, I can do your avatars. Let me know what pics you want. How is your husband??? Please keep us updated. What kind of fast are you thinking about? If you choose a water fast please spend lots of time praying. Fasting is a great way to get closer to the Lord and find his will for you. I actually can recommend a book that you can download online by Jon Piper.

Alrighty- I will be back later with all the totals. I know we have done so awesome!!!!!!!!

[Smilin Mary]

Hello everyone!

Well I have my exercise in today
my water intake is a bit weak but I will get it in.

I am not going to let the whole FRY thing get me down ( It is, but I am fighting it!) I think a lot of my prob is TOM.

I will post later with my food.

[SJN02]

Mary - I did forget to ask about your back. Please forgive me. I hope it is feeling better. How much water do you try to drink in a day? I know it can be hard to get all the water in. I will tell you what works for me is I fill my 32 oz. cup and eveytime I go into the kitchen I fill it. I will not go into the kitchen until it is empty...lol it helps and I get it all in. (good thing I don't have to go through the kitchen to the bathroom) Have a great night!!

Jarrett - WE WANT STATS...LOL Hope you had a great day!!

Shanna - WOW it sounds as if you and DH are doing great!!! I think it helps when DH's are doing Atkins too. What is a creation scienctist? I can't wait to hear the totals for our team. I am planning on doing a water fast and I plan on spending alot of time in prayer I will prob. do just 2 days. DH is in bed sleeping. He works 3rd and since he was up all day he is sleeping now. I told him to call in but he hates to waste vacation days on being sick. He has his meds now so hopefully he will be back to himself before long. Oh the avatar, under the avatars is the 20 lb. club one. I don't know if I can paste it here or now. I will try. Is this something you could teach me to do...LOL I don't want to bother you every 10 lb.s. I can always leave it the way it is too.

My food for today:
B: almonds - 10
L: didn't get time
D: cheese, ham, and cream cheese
water 165 oz
exercise: have to pass since dh is in bed sleeping. I will make it up though

Tomorrow I am starting my fast. I am looking forward to it actually. I will try and check in later to see if Jarret has posted his stats

[Smilin Mary]

That is an awesome score! I hope you are all proud of the work we did!!! We ROCK!!! I was floored with my total inches lost... I lost more than a FOOT of FAT!!!!

Cant wait to see next months stats!!!

[Gini]

regarding birthdays...mine is right around the corner...Feb 8th... but I will wait til I get my income tax refund to go out to eat with DD.

LOL I decided I want a birthday present this year.

Sounds strange I know, but in the last 30 yrs I doubt I got more than 3 birthday presents. My family doesn't give me any, my ex hated to give presents, DD usually doesn't have any money, lol last year I gave her money to buy me a gift, she went to the mall, and spent it on herself and her bf. duh! LOL

We just moved (end of Nov) and I think I want something pretty for my house

So I will get something when the refund comes!!

February *NEW* Challenges ALL READ
Hey all, I am in the process of finalizing the NEW challenges for February. Remember that the Super Size Me movie is NO LONGER, the Donut Challenge is NO LONGER, the inspirational article is NO LONGER available for points. These were January challenges ONLY.

The inter-challenges that will be taking the place of these will be posted HERE - on THIS thread tomorrow night (2/1) in the evening (probably between 7-9p.m. EST). Please communicate this within your groups and bump this post through tomorrow at least.

Thx all, Shawn - TMTL

Oh, and my February calendar will be sent out either tonight or tomorrow (same time) - depending upon when Sweets posts the stats. GOOD LUCK TO ALL. REMEMBER, THE TOP THREE TEAMS WILL BE ON FEBRUARY'S CALENDAR - FEATURING THE FIRST PLACE TEAM ALONG WITH THE SECOND AND THIRD PLACE AS WELL. ***THE NUMBERS ARE LOOKING GOOD ALL SO GOOD LUCK***

sometimes things that seem to make good sense are not really good!

My family, (Mom, sis, bro) didnt really give DD any presents until she was about 2. That Christmas they told me that they knew I didn't have a lot to spend so instead of giving each of us a present they would just give DD 2 presents. So they always did that. So DD was raised that Mom got no presents and she got a bunch.

Last year (the mall episode) showed me how damaging that really was.

DD is a generous person. She gives away a lot of her stuff and my stuff too! To her friends, to others who need stuff. I mean like shampoo, lotion, clothes, etc. (We had neighbors who didn't spend money on their kids but had uber motorcycles etc.)

But, I raised her that Mom doesn't get presents, she doesn't get new dish towels, etc etc.

Actually, the Lord is healing my thinking. LOL so I am getting a present this year!! hehe

[Gini]

/Gini stops rattling on!

hehe

[Smilin Mary]

oh rattle on girl! Get it all out and then go and get some new dish towles.... your worth it!

[mommiematters]

Gini- Keep it coming.

A creation scientist is a scientist that believes that God created the every thing in 6 days exactly as Genesis states.

A great place to check out to learn more is http://www.answersingenesis.org/ or www.creationscience.com.

We actually get the AIG magazine.

I hope this help answer your questions.

[SJN02]

Looks like you ladies are posting more in the evenings. I am usually on during the day and maybe a few times in the evening. I put my kids to bed at 8 and usually that is when I go walk, then shower and off to bed. It is nice getting up in the mornings and seeing that you all have posted...gives me something good to read

I was thinking since this is a new month, why don't each of us set a goal we would like to hit this month...maybe drink more water, exercise more..I know I am going to have to up my exercise to get more points. I know I prob. won't hit 15 lbs. in Feb. I will be shocked if I do..lol But it will prob. be maybe 10 lb.s loss if I am lucky. So I will need to make up points so I am going to set my goal of exercise. I will walk 2.5 miles in the morning and 2.5 miles at night. Everyday except Sundays. I will re-evaluate this on the 15th and see if I will be on track to up my points on exercise. So what is your goal going to be for yourself???

Shanna - Thanks for answering that. You will have to tell us how the 5 services goes. That would be interesting. When my dd was in the first grade her pace..I think it was her science pace, they had to go through and list on each day 1-6 what God created on that day. I really like the paces they are in...They are leaning and the paces are biblically based

Gini - You know I am having a prob. with my in-laws giving my kids too much for christmas too. I tell them every year they don't need all that but they never listen to me...lol I don't know anything I am just their MOM after all...lol my parents only get the kids 1 item each this year it was snow pants...something they needed. I like it better that way Have a wonderful day!!

Mary - How you doing today?

Jarret - Have a great day!!

My DH is starting to feel a bit better,he still has a way to go but the headache is getting easier to deal with at least. Thanks for asking about him. Well I need to get busy. DS will need picked up before I know it...lol

[Smilin Mary]

Good morning ladies and Jarret.

I am feeling much better this morning. Amazing how things can change with a long bubble bath and a talk with DH... LOL

I have a busy day today, work-out, birthday lunch with friends, DDS. App. at 2 with the girls. Somewhere in there I need to fix dinner and finish laundry...

Funny thing is before this challenge I would have skipped the workout and did laundry...

Ya know what... the clothes are still dirty but my body is shrinking.... hmmm I think the laundry will wait... LOL

My Goal for this first two weeks will be .... get in at least 1 walk a day ( that is on top of my workout)

Have a great day.

Breakfast - 2 Sausage patties, 2 eggs with cheese de-caff coffee w/ cream.
