Omega I think I will need to use next Thursday as my weigh in to end the challenge. My flight out on 2/28 is at 6:05am so I need to get up at around 3am to be at the airport in time. Weighing in won't be the first thing on my mind! :)
 
FOOD LOG 2/15 - 2/21

I have to be honest. My food intake this week has been pretty horrid. I'm really starting to feel the nerves with my trip being right around the corner. I'm nervous about flying. I'm nervous that my flight will get canceled. I've been dreaming of this trip for years and years and knowing it's not even 2 weeks away is causing some anxiety. It's like I'm waiting for the bad thing to happen which will prevent me from going. As a result, I've started turning to less healthy food. I haven't gone completely overboard, but I'm not eating as well as I should be. My goal today (2/28) is to not have any candy. I've had some everyday this week... too much!

I also have not had time to try to figure out the calcium thing so I'm afraid I won't score any bonus points there. Sorry Purple! :(

I apparently just need to lower the dosage. You're supposed to start with a teaspoon and work your way up. Also need to drink a LOT of water.

I won't be getting points for exercise in the near future. Apologies to the team for that. I am at a point where I can no longer exercise. In face, I have spent most of the last week almost completely immobile. Doctors still have no idea what is going on, and I don't think I have blood left for any more tests. My entire immune system seems to have collapsed, I am in constant pain which is so bad that they have put me on morphine, and currently I have no sense of balance at all due to a sinus/ear infection. Or at least I'm hoping that's the reason, and nothing worse. We'll see.

I just have no motivation to exercise, so don't worry about it San. At least you have a reason! I kind of realized that I'm here to have fun, not to win, so I'll get what points I can and keep going ;).
 
Week 6 challenge ...
I will challenge myself to clean/organize an average of 1 room per day = 7 rooms = 14 points = 1 clean and organized house! Some rooms will take more than I can do in 1 day but others can be done two-a-day, so I will do 2 points each time a room is finished. If I end up with an odd number for a final score, it will mean that one of the rooms is halfway finished.
 
Hey,San.
No worries - I'm getting most all of my exercise points but no weightloss points recently. We all are doing our best and the points are just a bonus ... the real thing is that we are doing it for our own health and wellness and it just happens to benefit the team.
 
San - sorry you are in so much pain. I hope they manage to sort you out soon.

My exercise points have thus far been pretty much guaranteed (although I havent done any today as I have some sort of cold / flu germs)... I not only couldn't face going out walking or getting on the treadmill - but I missed my zumba class and have cancelled tonight's salsa plans... My weight loss is however abysmal - and I would much rather have some of those points if given a choice...

Organized
1/14

For my challenge I'm going to organize racks at work. Ever since my boss stopped working at the store I work at, the organization has gone downhill, and it's not just because of me. No one does much at my store. So I'm going to organize 14 racks at least. It will get things done and give me points :).
