Time for a new thread, guys! Let's start 2008 on the right foot and support each other all the way through!

Anyone have any resolutions to share?

Google Docs - LBT WARRIOR CHALLENGE - Ends March 30th

When and how often do we report? It seems like daily would be a lot of work for Stephanie to keep up with. How about picking a day of the week to report our updates? Or did I miss where this has already been discussed?

Thanks!

I see I have a gazillion PM's to catch up on, and I will take care of all before lunch tomorrow. I will also have the spreadsheet caught up by then.

KAY - Of course you can join! Anyone can join anytime along the way! PM me your start weight/goal weight/weekly cardio minutes goal/resistance minutes goal. If you don't do one or the other, just put zero.

ALL - I live here on this forum, and I have a worksheet to keep up with everyone daily. I really don't mind at all. The only thing I ask is for everyone to keep me honest and check the spreadsheet to make sure I credit you with the correct numbers. The week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. I will try to make sure I update the spreadsheet every day before lunch.

I am so excited to see how everyone progresses!

WHEW! Got it all done, I believe! Loaded the chart and answered all the PM's! I love it! But I did think of one thing...since this week started on Monday and we are just getting going, I need everyone to post their minutes so far for this week so I can give everyone the right numbers for week ending on the 6th.

Stef - in case you didn't know this, you are an amazing woman.

And I'm still seriously coming to your place this summer for a BBQ. Lol.

Cardio 90/Resistance 120

Rode the trainer for an hour and a half and went to the gym for two hours. Really enjoying pushing my boundries on the amount of weight I'm lifting. We worked our backs today. Tomorrow is biceps/triceps...can't wait!

Hey, Suze...the feeling is mutual and you BETTER be coming! In fact, if this big-ass BBQ comes to fruition, I'm gonna invite everyone on ALL these threads I subscribe to! But even if I don't pull off the mass BBQ, you still have to come to see me!

You know I am in for some BBQ.

Veggie KAbobs of course =)

Vegetarian???

Yeah it's a new thing I am trying. I went off the sugar a week ago and figured I might as well get off the flesh too. I would love to go full out vegan at some point but not until I learn enough about vegetarian nutrition to make sure I am not going to be deficiant in anything. Plus giving up cheese will probably be difficult though a neccesary evil because it is soooo bad for me. Plus I have watched too many peta videos lately.

Ohhh and guess who is taking spinning classes starting next week??????

Ohhh, kabobs with like bell peppers and pineapple and stuff is GOOOOOOOOOOOOD food. I might be all veg by then... we'll see. I LOVE me some chicken though.

JM - check outthe book 'Skinny Bitch', it's am amazing read - just ask BG!

Hey ZZ have you seen the peta chicken videos? If you were interested in not eating the bird anymore that is definitely something to watch. It is very horrid and graphic though.

Skinny Bitch is an amazing book. Hilarious in how it is written.

Well, I was going to try getting off sugar. High fructose corn syrup is the devil and completely addictive. But its in almost everything canned or bottled.......Yuck.

babygrl, are you gonna check spin out??? I love spin, but I gotta get my ass back in there, I took a 1 week vacation, but I've been eating like shit so tomorrow and sunday I'm spending a lot of time in that gym! Arg!!!

I'm checking the book out right now!

I have taken spinning classes before. I love them. There just were no opening available for me last session at the gym. I am so excited.

And yes high fructose corn syrup is satan's elixer.

Can I ask, How'd you do it? I'd probably try to kill everyone in my path...

The sugar? I just stopped cold turkey. The first 3 days were hell. I had a horrible headache and overall felt shitty. I craved sugar. I also stopped with refined white things so no white flour or white rice. Since I also gave up the meat at the same time I allowed myself to eat anything I wanted. I had lots of fruit to help curb the sugar. Whole wheat crackers and cheese, string cheese, multigrain pita chips. I looked up a lot of recipes and tried new things. But I do feel good now. I am not craving it any longer.
