As sometimes happens we didn't get our last day icon. Still we sailed way over 10,000 minutes!! That's incredible!! I hope you had fun, felt inspired, and right now you feel super proud of yourself, whether you knocked the ball out of the park like some folks did! Or you simply added a little more exercise into your life. It's all good for us. Just joining this Challenge..making exercise an important desire and priority...was a great step. I also hope those who suffered illness or life difficulties keep up your hopes and do something every day to nourish and replenish yourself. I'm gonna miss seeing you here every day! I had a wonderful time, and thank you so much for participating. Never give up! Don't quit making these changes for a better life. 

I have been exercising my normal routine of 30 mins. body ball and I feel great!!!

During the visit with my Mom I did slip a little and missed about 5 days though. After forgiving myself I am back on track!!

I did like shopping with her . I actually am fitting into things that I gave up on along time ago, like I bought a swimsuit to swim in her hotel pool and did not look half bad!!!

Seeing the results is everything,encouraging,motivation,and gives me hope. I do see a more fit me emerging. The scale has not moved much past the 15lbs I've lost but my body is changing to a great shape again!!!

LOVE AND LIGHT -SAHNDRA

Congratulations to everyone on working so hard!  It's obvious that you want change, and that you're all making it happen!  Let's continue to see the successful people that we want to be, and enjoy ourselves to the fullest while doing it!

It's going to rain (Gustov effects) for the next three days, so I'm trying to think of rain exercise I can do. Ideas?

(Hey, everyone affected by the storms, hang in there)

Did you guys read that if you don't sleep well, you don't lose weight? This is Dr Carlos Inspiration from last Thursday:

In a recent study in the American Journal of Epidemiology, women who slept seven or more hours per night were less likely to put on weight than women who didn't. Those who slept six or fewer hours gained on average an extra 33 pounds over a 16 year period, more than their well-slept counterparts.

My weight loss patients rarely reach their metabolic goals until we get them sleeping better. Whether it's difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep, people who struggle with sleep battle not only a spare tire, but they're much more likely to suffer from chronic immune disorders, pain and inflammatory conditions, and anxiety and depression, too...
