336 today! Yahhhh! It really does work - this eating less moving more stuff!! :) Here at work the girls are really serious. We changed the bet a little. For every day you go over your allotted calories in a week, you owe each of the other 2 girls $5.00 and if you don't get in at least 3 hours of exercsie, you owe the pot $5.00. At the end, the pot goes to whoever had paid out the least amount of money. This way if you do have a bad day, it is less likely to snowball because it costs you $10.00 for each day!! I did pretty good at the end of the week...

Saturday when I went over, I had a busy day. Jacob had a B-day party from 10 - 2. I dropped him off and stayed a while, but then snuck off to the gym for some cardio. I successfully avoided cashews, choclate covered raisins and cookies. And by leaving when I did, I totally missed the pizza and the cake!! It was a very rainey day but because it wasn't raining at the time, the bonfire at the stables was still on, so at 3:30 we headed off to that. After having such a healthy day and making all good choices, the very first thing I dug into was the cookies and I just kept going. Good thing the rest of the day was healthy!!! But we enjoyed pony rides, a hayride to the pumpkin patch where we got to pick our own pumpkin (in the mud!) and a bonfire (can you say smores! ) and great company until it started to pour!! My brother even managed to singe his hair, eyebrows and eyelashes!!
I forgot to read my next day in my book last night - I'll do that tonight.

Oooooh, upping the ante! Nuttin like a little stiff competition and cold hard cash to light a fire under you chicks! Very nice!
Re: the bonfire, yup, don't I know how that goes! You may start off with the best of intentions, but then somewhere along the way a flip switches and that's all she wrote. As always, what's done is done, no worries babe! Plus, just think of all the money you'll owe if you give in to the all or nothing mentality? No way jose!
Keep it up chica, you're doing great! Eat less, move more... who'da thunk? ;D

Wheeee! Very nice start, now keep it up! Pretty soon you'll be treating yourself to something very nice with all your winnings. ;)
Saturday could have been a whole lot worse (nice going doing the gym thing and missing the pizza and other goodies). One episode of cookies and smores isn't going to destroy all your good work!
Now let's see what you're doing the rest of the week! So, are you enjoying the gym; are you really into it yet? Enquiring minds want to know!
