Thank you Carmen. I am trying my best to stay on top of my workouts, and get a least 4 days in. Now that you are done taking medication for your asthma, it won't take you long to start seeing some results. Starting gathering the things we need for the mini makeover it will be June before you know it. Can't wait to get started, we are going to kick butt!

I hope the rest of you ladies are doing well. Have a great day everybody.

Alright ladies, it time to get serious! Swimsuit season is upon us and we ALL need to get in gear. I am posting a contract that each of you can print out and sign, making a committment to yourself, which is what this challenge is all about. I posted this in another thread but figured I should do it here too.

Contract w/ Self
O.K. that did not work I am pasting it here.


I hereby commit to living my Best Life. I will participate in a program of regular exercise,
including a minimum of 80 minutes of activity over the course of four days each week.
I will focus on challenging my abilities in the pursuit of elevating my physical performance.
I will endeavor to be conscious of when I eat, and consistently terminate the consumption of
all food two or three hours before bedtime. I will also be aware of why I eat, and will, to the best
of my ability, eat primarily to satisfy my nutritional needs as opposed to my emotional needs.
I will do my best to make healthful food choices by substituting foods that are nutritionally
empty with those that are rich in nutrition.
Furthermore, I realize that this contract carries no promise of rewards, penalties or punishments
other than those associated with the reflection of the strength of my character and of my health.

Hey everyone. I'm so sorry I have disappeared for so long. With moving and a few other things I have been stuck in my head and haven't done much of anything. Here I go again. You all have been thought about a lot.. I have been so busy at work I haven't had time to write and don't want to deal with the computer when I get home. But I have been putting this off for the whole month, so it's time to get my head back in the game.

The move has been wonderful. My son and I are so happy!!! That's wonderful. I joined a gym by my house and oh have mercy....one of the owners is drop dead sexy!!!! You know that should give me motivation. (But it hasn't yet). So anyhow, my son leaves for the summer to my parents in a week and usually when I really want to make a big change in my life it's while i have time when he is gone and then it's habit by the time he comes home.

So here is to starting over...again!!!! I am seriously considering stopping the depo shots. I seem to maintain the weight I gained but haven't been able to loose it. So we will see what happens in the next few months. If I don't loose anything again, I will stop taking that shot and go from there. They say the IUD doesn't have any effect at all on your weight. Anyone know about that?

Nice to see you all again and I am so sorry it took me so long to get out of my funk.

In addition to the mini makeover, my goals for the week are:

STAY AWAY FROM SKITTLES , MELLO YELLO AND STEROIDS !!
Exercise atleast 30 minutes daily.
Drink water, water, water !!!
And REMEMBER to take my pill !!!

Jennifer, thanks for checking in and bumping this thread, I have been too lazy to search for it, and I have gotten sidetracked every time I attempted to do so. I am still here too. It's been a crazy week for me. I had a funeral to attend on Monday, and the rest of the week has been filled with last minute "must do's" for my daughters eighth grade graduation, which is Monday.

I did not weigh in this week because of TOM. I NEVER step on a scale during that time. Although I know the weight gain is only temporary, it messes with my mind.

OMG... Kaitlyn, you are back!!! Happy to see you and know that you are doing well. Don't stay away so long lady.

Cindy, stop teasing us. Are you gonna stick with us or not...lol.

I hope everyone is doing well. I plan to weigh in on Monday, hoping to be a little closer to Onderland.

Hey there Sherry! I am back. My internet was down for a few days so I could not check in. It's good to see you. I am sorry to hear about your stepdaughter, I hope she shows some improvement with treatments. How are you feeling otherwise? Are you still searching for a job?

I think we have lost a lot of folks this time around too.
