10/31/11 – Happy Halloween! NC Day # 22

There is still no power at the gym. For now the 12pm, 4:30pm an 5:15pm classes will be held in the gym. The 6pm, 6:45pm, and 7:30pm free class are cancelled since there will not be any daylight.

ALCOHOL! – Alcohol consumption is being limited starting today. You are not allowed to have more than 2 drinks / 3 nights out of the week or it is considered a cheat. Beer is and has been a cheat since day one. It contains gluten. Remember we have eliminated grains, legumes, added sugar, dairy and now we have limited alcohol intake. ALSO, post your score for Sunday, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3 and Total thus far. You are halfway done with the challenge. I have now heard numbers approaching double digit weight loss. Great job people! If you need some support, make sure you post to the comments section and we’ll be there for you!

New Fundamentals starts Tuesday @ 6:45pm. Sign up before it’s too late! Email [email protected].

  1. Just want to send a shout out to everyone at 908…you all have made my time at the gym amazing. I actually look forward to going to work out now (even tho I know it’s gonna kick my ass). Hope to see everyone in the spring. For now I promise not to rub in the warm Florida weather too much! If anyone is in the west palm area this winter hit me up!

  2. Yeah, there’s no power at Connell, either, so my office is closed. Cable and internet just went out up here by my house, too. 🙁 I’m just thankful I still have heat and electricity!
    Stay warm, everyone!
    Happy Halloween!

    I hope the power comes back (at the gym and at my house!). I totally want to do today’s workout…

    1. Victoria, Tim said you have another 1/2 remaining for the beef. My brother & his fiance are interested in a 1/4 or splitting a 1/2 with someone.

      1. Cool! If I can find someone else interested in a 1/4 that would be perfect!

        Anyone here interested in a 1/4 of beef?

      2. Update- someone else I know is interested in a quarter, so if your brother and fiance want a quarter, I can set that up!

    1. Kristen,

  7. Does the 1/4 slab of beef that remains have any ties to Rick? If so, please count me in.

    Sorry I missed the anniversary party. I will make an appearance at Leo’s box in the a.m.
