I know it’s naughty…but doggone it that is a good workout song!! 
How was your movin’ and groovin’ this week? I know I pushed myself HARD, and my quads have not forgotten it! 
And of course, it’s Monday - so it’s time to REPORT! Let’s have those weigh-in stats and for those of you in the Happy Heart Competition, your exercise points puh-lease!!
(Debs edits to add: Please only tell us your exercise points, and then blest will add the bonus points afterwards. That way it stops us getting confused! Also, remember Happy Heart started on Tuesday, so you can’t include any points you earn last Monday!)
247 (down 1).
I know I was down more than that yesterday, so probably some water stuff going on. But hey, it’s still 1 more down whatever
Comment by Debs — January 7, 2008 @ 7:45 am |Edit This
Oh, and I got 15 exercise points.
Comment by Debs — January 7, 2008 @ 7:51 am |Edit This
119 (up 2) points 14 PT and 4 Challenge = 18 total points
Go Debs! Water stuff is the bane of every female’s existence!

Up 3.8?!? It must be all muscle because I’ve been very good. 20 pts, plus 4 bonus for a total of 24. And I am in a lot of pain, but it’s the good kind.
Comment by Jana — January 7, 2008 @ 8:03 am |Edit This

Cheering for everyone!

Pnly down 0.2 (since Tuesday) but at least it’s down. 13 exercise points. I am resolved to do better this week.

Down is down.
Guess what! We’re moving back to WA! Jeff officially starts on the 28th and then I’ll probably follow the first week of March. At least that’s what I hope.

211 (down 1lb)
I got my 28 points in for exercise (4 points each day). Yes! I really did! While I was out of town I joined a gym where we were at for 1 week and I went every day and put in 1.5 hours. On New Years Day they were closed, so I went for an hour long walk with my husband and the day we drove back…we were up at 4am, on the road at 5:30am, back home around 2pm and I was at the gym around 3pm…that’s crazy nuts!
I didn’t realize we already had a challenge…guess while I was out of town I missed that post. Is it too late to post a pic?
Comment by Cristina — January 7, 2008 @ 9:02 am |Edit This
That’s clever Christina - we were only counting Tuesday onwards! (So we’ll put you down for 24 points for exercise)
If you get your pic up soon then we’ll still count it

232/222.4/149.9
Um, yeah, that’s up A LOT from two weeks ago. Some is water. Hopefully MOST of it is water!
22 HH points. I tried really hard to wake up at 5 to get in a 30 min walk before work, but my body’s sleep schedule is whack so I couldn’t fall asleep until well past 1. Maybe tomorrow . . .

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU DEBS! I’ll post it tonight when I get home from work or I’ll look through my Christmas pics and see if there’s a suitable one to put up.
Comment by Cristina — January 7, 2008 @ 9:17 am |Edit This
Christina - WORKOUT CLOTHES! So unless you opened your presents just before or after working out, it’s unlikely that any of the Christmas pics will work.
Comment by Debs — January 7, 2008 @ 9:21 am |Edit This
120.5
HH points–20
It was great last week going for long walks with my dear SIL, Boo. She has a cool bike/jog trail behind her house. Now I’m back in the big city running around with all of the cars and trucks!
Comment by Brandi — January 7, 2008 @ 9:21 am |Edit This
Ok, I’ll post tonight in workout clothes.
Comment by Cristina — January 7, 2008 @ 9:32 am |Edit This
I feel so out of the loop since I am not doing the Happy Heart thing. Oh well, I love you all and I am so proud that you are all working so hard for your health. I am down 1 pound this week. 3 More to go until I get where I was before December. I have at least 13 to go in all and then I will re-evaluate. But 150 seems like it should be a good weight for someone my size and shape. Good luck to you all this week!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Nikki, I’m not doing it either. You’ve got company sistah!

168/141/130..no change
Only 10 excercise points..MUST DO BETTER
Comment by ChristyF — January 7, 2008 @ 10:38 am |Edit This
Nikki, you can join us if you want to. Let us know your points for the last week and I’ll stick you on the spreadsheet!
Comment by Debs — January 7, 2008 @ 11:01 am |Edit This
No no, but thanks so much. I never make time to exercise. I know I need to and I really want to but I just don’t do it in the winter much. I plan to start moving more, but I didn’t at all last week and who knows if I will this week. Thank you though Debs! And Tami, we will just have to cheer everyone else on!!!

Down 2 with the flu, brought it back with us from Texas.
Thanks, Debs for letting me in, but I didn’t amount to much last week. Sure am glad it was the short one. I did manage to work out Sat. & Sun, so I earned:
6 points
I’ll have a kiddo take a pic of me before we jump rope this afternoon - if it’s not too late. If it is, I’ll just work harder this week!
Comment by Missy — January 7, 2008 @ 11:56 am |Edit This
Missy, if you get the pic up today we will count it. Next week we may not be so kind…!
Comment by Debs — January 7, 2008 @ 12:27 pm |Edit This
139.4 (jan 2 2008) / 138.6 / 129.4
Down 0.8 as of Saturday morning. like I said in my post above, I’m out of the country, so here’s my Saturday am weigh-in. I, sheepishly, only have 4 HH points. But 4 is better than zero.
Comment by Anne — January 7, 2008 @ 1:33 pm |Edit This
166.4 down 3 and back to about where I want to be. I am going to continue with south Beach principles though (say stage 2 ish) and see what happens.
Exercise points gained - 11. Maybe the best I will do but we’ll see. Having the challenge does help with the motivation. There was only 1 day I did no exercise.
Comment by Elly — January 7, 2008 @ 2:47 pm |Edit This
Rats… did not read email well. I thought challenge started today. Sorry…
So I am 0 Happy Heart Points…
158.0 up again.
Char
Comment by Char — January 7, 2008 @ 5:37 pm |Edit This
Char, you must have done some exercise this week though, right? You can count one point for every 15 mins you did, up to an hour a day.
Comment by Debs — January 7, 2008 @ 5:45 pm |Edit This
And if you take and put up a pic in the next couple of hours we can still give you the bonus points!

Down .5? I really don’t remember! Ack! (I didn’t officially start dieting until today!! And oh, the sugar cravings!!)
Anyway, I’ve got ten points. Not so great.
My camera DIED!! The horror! Anyway, I could post a picture of me at Thanksgiving if you like…
Comment by Bethany — January 7, 2008 @ 7:17 pm |Edit This
10 points is 10 more than nothing!
You can always follow Bekki’s example and draw a picture of yourself using paint or something, or if you have a scanner get one of your kids or your hubby to draw you and scan it in.
Or you can just not worry about it, and work extra hard at getting this weeks bonus points. Talking of which, blest needs to get that post up. I am off to remind her…
Comment by Debs — January 7, 2008 @ 7:21 pm |Edit This
Moment of truth here. I ate like a pig over the holidays and I’m counting on HH and a renewed committment to get me over the hump.
231.5/186/160
Up 4.5 pounds! Yikes. I ate everything in site over the past two weeks.
Ok, the good news is I did good with my eating today (only 1500 calories consumed) and I’ve going to kick this thing in!
HH points: 8
Comment by Bird — January 7, 2008 @ 7:30 pm |Edit This
Bird, blest says I have permission to kick you when I get there..

176/173/150
Down 3 lbs. Oh I’m so glad to be on my way back down!
I only earned 8 HH points this week. I’ll do better next week. I’ve started working out again so here we go!!!
Comment by Katherine — January 7, 2008 @ 9:29 pm |Edit This
Debs, be warned, it’s harder to kick Bird than you’d think. It greatly humbles me to say this, but he’s got some jedi reflexes and always blocks kicks and hits. It’s uncanny! And frustrating!
Comment by DebbieBoo — January 7, 2008 @ 10:14 pm |Edit This
Doh, I shouldn’t have warned him in advance and I might have had a chance!
Comment by Debs — January 8, 2008 @ 7:27 am |Edit This
Girls, the three of us can TOTALLY take him
