PSA... he he do you know what that means??

Hey Girls! So I've been doing some serious thinking lately. I feel like it's time to address the obvious... we are in a "funk"! It's no big deal, it happens all the time to everyone who is trying to lose weight. But, I think that the added pressure of the Bet is making it harder for all of us to get out of this funk. We all have had some pretty life changing events take place in the last few months and its time to re-evaluate our prioritites and get our lives back in balance again. Therefore, I'm calling for a hiatus... starting now, we are post-poning the Bet indefinately. I feel kind of bad about this, but it needs to be done. It's too much pressure for all of us to keep up with right now and I know we all have other things that need the bulk of our attention at this point in our lives. I hope this doesn't kill anyone's motivation... but judging by the lack of posting lately, I don't think that will be a problem. Now, that's not to say that any of us should be giving up! No, I'm not stopping and I don't want ANY of you to stop either!! Please, continue to use this blog as a place to post your progress, your frustrations, and words of encouragement for everyone else to see. I think this blog has been a great way for all of us to stay connected, since we can't get together and walk anymore... Thoughts?? Votes for or against the Hiatus are welcome... :) DC
