Get excited and enthusiastic about you own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire - you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away.

Good morning Greenies! Come out, come out, wherever you are!
Busy day for me today. I decided to be crazy and signed up for a booth at a fund raiser tomorrow and I am in no way, shape, or form ready to do it. So now I'm frantically revising and printing pet sitting information and trying to get stuff ready. Of course my black ink cartridge just went kaput so now I've got to make a trip to Wally World. :? It'll be fun though and hopefully I'll get some clients out of the deal!
This has been a great week! I'm going to have to work hard to get my Pilates and biking in but I can do it. Foodwise it's been perfect so far. I even had a salad out of my garden last night. YUM! I have some volunteer lettuce that is just big enough to pick and thinned out some of the lettuce I planted so I had baby greens too. A friend told me the flowers of chives are good in salads and boy do I have chives. They had a neat taste to them.
So what's going on this weekend?

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.

Hello Greenies! Hope you all had a nice weekend. Weather was nice here, the salmon are swimming, and I get to watch pelicans in the morning. :o It's very cool and I'm loving Washington!

Hey everyone, last week is here. I am planning on a perfect week. I am really determined. These past weeks I overindulged but plan on going out with a bang.
Except isn't there a bonus week or something? |

Morning Amity! There is a bonus week worth double points so it should be lots of fun!!! Sounds like you're going to have a great week. :D
This week will be challenging for me. DD has field trip in Seattle that I'm tagging along with and then she has soccer in Yakima over the weekend. I'm going to stock up on quick SB friendly snacks and do my best!

Hey greenies! Sorry for the absence, but I did just update my log, so it's good to go.
Lots of things going on here! I had a job interview yesterday, went really well, but not sure if I'll take it if they offer. Lots of reasons, but one major one is that the pay increase will have to be used for rent! It is almost double the rent there than where I live now! Not sure it's really worth it.
Yesterday was a wash (on the road coming back from interview, nervous, then at airport - airport food!), so today's been my "real" week beginning and is going very well....
Have a wonderful day!

How exciting April! It sounds like a tough decision though. I know where you're coming from on the housing prices. We're paying triple for rent here than we were to buy our home in Nebraska. BUT I should say we have "special needs" :lol: and were picky about where we chose to live. It's well worth the money to be out of town, on the river, in a nice house with a great yard, able to keep the pets and horses, and have great neighbors. I'm not sure how we're going to find a house to buy, it'll be hard to leave here!!!!

Lora,
I thought it would be exciting, but I think that's the problem, I am not as excited as I think I should be considering it's a big move and I'm not gaining any more money or "well-being." But again, I better wait to officially be offered the job before I keep worrying about it! :lol:
Your current housing location sounds great!

Morning Greenies!
I'm afraid I might be MIA for part of this week. Tomorrow morning I leave with dd's class for a Seattle trip and then she has soccer in another town over the weekend. I should be able to check in but thought I'd let you know just in case.
I hope everyone is having a great last week of the challenge! Don't forget that there is a bonus week after this one so don't stop this weekend. There will be about a week break and then another challenge, headed by A-Rod, is starting.
Let me know if you need anything and don't forget to update your logs!

Hey Greenies,
Since Luv is out today I thought I would post a quote to get us going. I just went out for my walk and the weather is so much nicer than yesterday.
Thanks to p_wreath for reminding me, I just ordered the newest SB cookbook. Can't wait to browse through it and check out the new recipes. Hopefully when my world calms down a little I can make some of them.
Today I plan on cleaning out my closet of all my fat clothes that don't fit anymore. I can't wait to see this pile I have to give away. What really gets me is how much money I must have spent on all of those clothes. But honestly I do shop at Walmart, Target, and thrift stores so its not terrible and hopefully someone else can wear them when I drop them off at Goodwill.
I also am going to make some soup. I am going to try Bob's Red Mill veggi soup. Looks good and I bought some whole wheat rolls to go with it. Also will try and make the black bean brownies. Haven't had them in awhile and they are a good sweet substitute. I put a little PB and cool whip on them. :wink:
Also have to hit BJ's for some stuff.
Well off to conquer todays chores. Hope everyone is having a great week. :D |

Good morning Greenies!
I just looked at the team scores posted in the main thread and we suck!
Well, I did not manage to have a single perfect week :evil:
This week I'm one jelly doughnut away from it :oops:
Overall this whole challenge has kept me on track though, I did pass several obstacles I would probably have fallen over without that commitment.
Have a good day! |

Thanks for filling in Amity! Love the quote. It was very cool getting on here today and finding it. :D
Jabbah - As long as the challenge helped you accomplish more it was a HUGE SUCCESS!!! Those darn jelly doughnuts can be sneaky. :wink:
I'm bushed after a couple days in Seattle and soccer today! We had a blast and I was happy with how I did food wise and we walked a LOT so I got some exercise in.
I'll be back on tomorrow.

Hey Green Team!
Just wanted to pop in and say CONGRATS, tonight's the last night of the Challenge! Don't forget to post your "end of Challenge" weigh-in if you haven't already.
Tomorrow starts the 6th BONUS week - who's up for it? I've been insanely busy the past couple weeks, so I am really ready to pull it together and finish off the Challenge with a great final week!
I hadn't set up a week "template" for the bonus week, so if you want to do it, just add in some blank spaces to record your info for the week. And don't forget to set some goals for yourself!
Thanks everyone for participating, I hope you enjoyed the Challenge. It was a lot of fun to put together! And I'm really looking forward to A-Rod's challenge in June... absolutely excited to let someone else take charge. :)
Hope all is well!
Also, reminder - in the bonus week, all points are DOUBLED! |

Any one else doing bonus week? My team members seem to be MIA.
Anyhow hope everyone is well and had a good time in the challenge. I know I did. It got my butt outside exercising. Now I can't imagine not exercising outside.
Here's a quote...
The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.
