140 DAYS OR 5 MONTHS, TO LOSE 30 POUNDS BEFORE I LEAVE FOR EGYPT & S....

OK, YALL

Today starts it all.   It is February 1, so that means I have exactly 20 weeks, which is 140 days to loose 30 pounds if not more.   We leave on June 20th. 

We paid for our entire trip last nite at 12:01 am which makes it totally official.  I will be spending my summer on the continent of Africa.   The bulk of my time will be in Egypt and I will end my trip in South Africa, Soweto and Johannesburg where we will get to see Oprah's School for Girls, go on a Safari, and stay a day and night with villagers,  (i'm scared of this part)  

Now I have a few friends that have gone and they all keep telling me that it is beyond hot so I have HAVE to lose this weight.  I can't be so far away from home uncomfortable.   I have eaten pretty good today but I am going to eat my snacks today I won't lie but i'm not going out to eat dinner or anything and tomorrow it's all straight and narrow.

I want people to join in with me on this and do the 140 days with me and let's see how much weight we can all lose.   If you lose enough I may even take you to Africa with me.  LOL.  


 

**Lion King chant** Aaawwwaaawaaa  baaeyyeee -ooooo...... hmmmmmmmm

LOL!!!  I am SO with you!!!!  my program is 6 mos so I got 140 days to roll with you!  Count me in - but I don't do hot so you can fo sho take that trip without me!  LOL  You get my props award cause i KNOW them villagers ain't got AC and baby boom..... tha Mack don't do without AC!!!!

20 weeks - Imma say I would LIKE to lose 20 lbs.  1lb a week is reasonable, I think.  

Congrats on your trip - I am sure it will change your life!  I hope to travel outside of the country sometime in the next 5 years or so.

Say - what word did you pick for your project thingee???

Perfect MM,  you gone ride this out with me.  I was hoping you would cause it's going to be hard doing this **** alone.  The workouts are no big deal, but when it comes to food I am one greedy mother flucker and I know that part is going to be super hard for me.  (you gotta keep on my ass with this food)

Hell yeah it is going to be hot as hell.   I have a cancel provision for the second half to S. Africa so if we can't take the heat we can cancel that part of it at the last minute, but the first part there is no getting out of so hot or not i'm in Egypt or the duration.    We are doing the first class trip this time because of the heat so the rooms will all have AC and on the regular fare trips (we usually do) you are not guaranteed AC.  Part of it is a 4 day cruise down the Nile so that is AC also,  but I heard as soon as you walk out the door you want to die, which is why it is so important or me to have lost this weight.

The word I chose or the lecture project was SUPPORT,  because most people in this class would not have made it to this level without some kind of support, whether it be financial, physical,  mental, etc...   The lecture seems pretty good,  I don't give it until Wed.  No biggie though I lecture often so it's just a class project really. 

We will be a good fit!  I have hell on the workouts - got the food pretty down!  So we can help each other out!!!!

You did VERY well to have the cancel provisions and all - that was a good look for real right there - that cruise down the Nile sounds romantic than a mofo!!  I bet the moonlight will be amazing.......

I am doing NO traveling in 2009 - saving for my anchor cut TT which I pray God will let me afford in time for the holidays - we will see.  

Support.... good word!  I would have stuck with booger..... LOL!!!!!!! 

Wow!!  That trip sounds awesome. I been wanting to go to Egypt and Kenya and west Africa (can't find a country at peace).   I hope you remember to take a water canister or something to carry water in.  Summertime is going to be more than a little Scorchingly HOT. 

Have fun!

Hey FC

Girl you know it is going to be hot as hell.  Becca and I have been wrestling with dealing with the heat for a week now,  but then we thought about it and said oh screw it people do it everyday and it's our day to do it.    

I know what you mean about finding a country at peace,  we have been putting Egypt off for the past 2 years or that same reason.  I am glad we have the option to cancel S. Africa if we choose because you never know what will happen, when, or where. 

We are already looking into Egyptian travel sites, and travel experts to know what is best to bring,  I'm not taking a canister because they get to heavy in the heat.  Bottled water is readily available there and we have water staps so that we can have the water on our backs instead of having to carry them.  We also are looking into head coverings also.  

I am excited and scared of the heat at the same time.  LOL

Congrats on your trip Lesia, maybe one day I will grow up to be just like you!

Um, did you say that you are not going to eat tonight or tomorrow to make up for snacking today? Does that really seem like a good idea?

Girl you must have read something wrong I don't ever skip a meal.  I am not going to eat out today but I am going to eat my snacks.  Tomorrow I will cut out the snacks and eat at home all the time.

Nope you don't have to worry about me skipping any meals. 

  That's what I was thinking when I read it - LEE skip a meal????  HA!!!!

You might skip WHILE eating - but you ain't missing a damn thing - greedy ass!!!!  LMAOOOOOO

You know,  my greedy ass do not miss no meals 
----->  This be me
