The 1st of September has arrived...
I'm ready to start all the challenge I've signed up for.
I've been mentally preparing and planning for the challenges since Monday.
I have 4 challenges running in my life at the moment
NOT TO LOG ONLINE TILL AFTER WORKOUT AND SHOWER
My online group
Do 4 sets of 12 sit ups
Do 4 sets of 8 push ups
Daily for this week
The NO TREATS MONTH with Dawne
As I love treats and find they are no longer treats but daily treats I am going to have NO treats for the month of September
Anyone wanting to join Dawn and my challenge please pop over to her blog
So she can add your name into the box for a lucky prize at the end of September
Then I'm also doing the 30 day challenge with Syl and all the other ladies.
I had to sit hubby down and explain to him what is going on in my life and that I need him to support me and to understand when I don't want to eat or drink certain foods.

I'm just starting my day and you're already done ;-). Great work Marcelle!
ReplyDeleteDoing good- Make sure to take care of yourself--don't push too hard!!
ReplyDeleteHi Marcelle Your meals always look so divine, like in a restaurant. I so need ideas! My weight is now 131lbs, 33lbs down, can you believe that. It is my birthday on Sat and I feel great. For the first time in my life, I have people saying I am skinny. I haven't worked out in the longest time, need to start that when kids back in school. You look great and keep positive. I know I need to, it is so hard. Getting my hair cut today and then I want to get a tatoo.
ReplyDeleteGreat Blog-it's noon and after reading your post: My new goal is to not log on until after my workout. I'm leaving now for the gym!
ReplyDeleteBy the way you look great!
Jenn ~ its fantastic what you have managed to achieve for yourself...I remember when u were struggling and feeling frustrated, look at you now...the skinny one...
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the haircut and show me the tattoo when done.
hehehe, exciting.
Thanks Liz
ReplyDeleteHope u had a good workout today at gym...and yes, logging on after the workout is the challenge.
Great job. Day one and I have already failed. I need to call to make a doc. appt. tomorrow. Will explain in my blog I need to write..(lol) I think I am going to do the sit up & push ups with you. It says daily this week but since it is Wed. already can I do Wed. to Wed.?
ReplyDeleteGood job Marcelle! At this stage in my life I couldn't manage the not going online until after my workout as I go online at work and don't always exercise in the morning. Though I am doing that more often recently.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment today. You're cute! ahahha
You are amazing!!!! Your body must be hard as a rock!!! I was really challenged today because I went shopping all day in TO...talk about treats available. I resisted - stayed strong - thought of you!
