- Judy Pulera's got a serious fan club and her husband, neighbors, sons and almost relatives are VERY techno savvy

Ten minutes and done: Super Special Top Ten List Tomorrow
First comment on the new post! Woo-hoo! Just in case no one makes it through 550 comments to my last one there are unofficially only 3 weeks left until my husband gets home -- now there's some motivation!
ReplyDeleteHenry's asleep already, but Jake votes for me again.

ReplyDeleteJust to clarify, does the race end at midnight eastern or central time?
ReplyDeleteND kids, be sure to stop at the grotto on your way home after finals. It's the best place ever. You will miss it when you're gone.

ReplyDeleteLaurie... it's the Libra in me.. got to have balance in my life.
ReplyDeleteDiet Tip: Take the 2 weeks off prior to the holidays and you will avoid all of the holiday treats delivered to the office. Stay away from the office kitchen as well. I have decided to move the coffee pot into my office so I can't be tempted by all the treats.
I will send a vote to Angela who at 3 weeks from seeing her husband will be a knock-out greeting him.
A vote for Judy Pulera - Merry Christmas as you lay claim to the scarf!
ReplyDeleteA vote for Louis... keep studying to finish those finals!
ReplyDeleteFor any of you girls are looking for a great book to read for fitness, I recommend, "The Female Body Breakthrough" by Rachel Cosgrove. It's a revolutionary strength-training plan for losing fat and getting the body you want. It's well worth the read!
ReplyDeleteThanks mrssarge! A vote in return for mrssarge! I'll go down fighting for the scarf!! :)

ReplyDeleteWe are now down to the final 24 hours of the Burberry Fit Club Challenge. I am so excited I can't even sleep. It's a sprint to the finish. I'm sure it will be a race to the wire. May the best man/woman win.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Fit Club! I'm heading to my first Christmas program this morning (for Jake's 2 yr old preschool class). Everytime I ask what he's going to sing, he says, "Jingle Bells?" Like he's not quite sure.
ReplyDeleteJake and Henry both give a vote to Mommy.
I am now officially dreaming about voting. This is not a good sign. Good thing this ends tonight. I'm starting to worry about my well being.

ReplyDeleteI'd just like to clarify a few things;
ReplyDelete1) I have lost a decent amount of weight and feel way more fit than I did a couple of weeks ago, so I'm happy. Also training for the Holy Half thing at ND in the Spring, so that's a ton of motivation.
2) I am backing up Maggie, when it comes to votes. I'd obviously rather win myself, but if I can help someone else at least in the voting process, I'm not gonna not put my votes to good use.
3) In respect to #2, It's more about giving people who are relying too heavily on the votes and not getting their ass in the gym some competition. I feel as if some of us don't realize that the voting is merely a part of picking the winner, not the sole basis. So maybe said people would benefit from 1) losing weight, and 2) giving insightful tips.
4) Tip #45: Liquids are key. They really do help flush out your system and water (especially and obviously) proves beneficial to losing last minute weight before, let's say, the end of a competition?
5) Whoever mentioned the Grotto; huge points.. it's so peaceful.
6) One more final to go and still going strong on the running; more huge.
7) Good Luck, you're all going to need it.
And one more vote for Maggie.
ReplyDeleteOne vote for pete.
ReplyDeleteOne vote for Maggie.
ReplyDeleteAnd one vote for Frank.
ReplyDeleteOh, and just a by the way: I've been positively encouraging a said Jamarcus McKeon to make good decisions and keep his nose basically glued to his books (which he has, in fact been doing)... sooo much responsibility.
ReplyDeletePlease let that information influence the decision of who should win that scarf as it may...
And one more vote for Maggie.
ReplyDeleteLouis, that was my comment about the grotto. Light a candle for my husband's homecoming journey, if you would be so kind.
ReplyDeleteJake's show was seriously adorable. And, at 8 minutes long, the perfect length.
Jake and Henry wanted to vote one more time for Mommy before naptime!
Angela, definitely. I love going down there after finals, it's just so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll give one vote you Angela for the reminder.
And one vote for Maggie.
ReplyDeleteHere's a vote for Angela, because I know how hard she works out everyday!
ReplyDeleteAnd another for Angela, because she is just plain awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd another for Angela
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I'm so nervous!
ReplyDeleteToday, I went to the airport to pick up my mother-in-law. The next time I go to the airport will be for Brendan's arrival!!! I hired a professional photographer to capture the moment and I hope that moment involves a new Burberry scarf!

ReplyDeleteWe are down to the wire and all a bit wiser with all the workout and diet/fitness tips that we can carry into the new year. Diet Tip: Plan ahead and keep plenty of fresh vegetables cut up in your refrigerator for snacking... you are less likely to grab something unhealthy if those are available.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy for the tip about the book... will be sure to check it out. Can always learn something new. A vote for Judy Pulera on her way to the finish line!
A vote for Angela as well as she counts down to her Holiday homecoming with Brendan. Good Luck to you and I am sure the Burberry scarf will compliment any outfit you choose.
ReplyDeleteI will send a vote for Maggie as well as she was vaccinating ninos in Mexico and enjoying her semester there. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteLastly, I will send a vote for Louis. Keep studying!
ReplyDeleteA vote for you, mrssarge, for always having kind words for everyone!!
ReplyDeleteDiet/overall body fitness tip - Don't drink too much caffeine... it messes with your metabolism. Not easy to say in these hectic lives of ours and especially when we find ourselves shopping and wrapping and writing out Christmas cards into the wee hours of the morning, but it does help to limit it if possible. Also, avoid letting winter sway you into wearing loose fitting clothes that can hide those extra pounds - sweatpants, loose sweatshirts, roomy sweaters, etc. Don't wear clothes that are too tight, but wear ones that will remind you that you may have put on a few pounds so you work hard to keep off what you have lost.
ReplyDeleteA vote for Judy Pulera!
A vote for Angela, Brendan will be here before you know it.
ReplyDeleteAngela...I wish you and your children a beautiful homecoming with your husband. It will be a kodak moment! On behalf of my family, I would like to extend our thankfulness to your husband for his service.
ReplyDeleteThis BFC Challenge really has been a blast. I think we all had fun. Laurie is quite the woman!!
Merry Christmas to all the BFC challengers!!
Thank you all so much for your fun comments and support. This has been a blast (the BFC Challenge, not the deployment) and has made the last month go by much more quickly.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!

ReplyDeleteT'was the night before Christmas when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that a Burberry scarf soon would be there...
ReplyDeleteAnother xmas vote for Angela!
All time favorite Christmas Hymn. Well, with a few minor adjustments...
ReplyDeleteHoly holy holy, scarf from Burberry, early in the morning our song shall rise to thee. There is a sign at the sight of thee there is non beside thee, scarf from Burberry, blessed Burberry!
Another vote for Angela!
