My monster is the little evil voice inside of me that whispers negative things, such as that my weight is too 'high' (even though I know it's not!) or that my thighs are 'fat' because now they're actually touching in the middle a bit... Every day I'm quieting this voice down and trying my best to turn those doubtful things around and make something positive out of it! (Healthy weight, no longer 'emaciated', firm & muscular shaped legs instead of tons of lost muscle tissue and weak legs! etc.)

Team Challenge:
Name your monsters & share with us how you fight them!!!!

Garfield likes to eat things like pizza or candy bars late at night.
I fight Garfield by planning a snack & a cup of 90 calorie chocolate soy milk every night, I usually win my battles with Garfield because I am determined to stay in my calorie range & I don't want to let Garfield mess it up.
Shaggy likes to sleep in late and blow off getting places on time.
Shaggy is a harder one to fight for me but I am slowly winning my battle with him, I make myself get out of bed whether I want to or not and I set all my clocks ahead so I think it is later than it actual is. I also have my cloths picked out, my lunch packed and everything ready to go so I can get out the door faster. I have other monsters too but these 3 are my worst foes.

Personal Challenge:
Still haven't got to the ink refill store so I am going to do it Monday so I can finish my 'New Me' Statement & Vision book!!!!

I Love Going for Walks & Working Out Every Day!!!
I Have a Clean & Neat Home, Everything has a Place & is in It's Place!!!

Challenges
1. For all of you that can I challenge you to work out at least 10 minutes a day for 5 days of the week!!!

2. Post 3 encouraging comments on 1 or more team mate's page or give 3 encouraging goodies to 1 or more team mates during the week!!!! Have some fun with this!!!!!

You can post a on this thread when you have met your challenges!!

My own personal challenge for myself this week will be to work out at least 30 minutes a day or be physically active (like going for a walk) for at least 30 minutes a day.
I work a desk job with a lot of stress & I am having a hard time staying motivated to exercise. I miss 1 day then 2 then before you know it I haven't worked out all week & then before I know it several weeks have gone by & I have not worked out. So I am challenging myself to change that!!!!
