Chunky Dunkers is a weekly weight loss/get fit support group that meet here online every Wednesday evening to get the opportunity to comment, and cheer each other as you each go through your journey to get fit and healthy!!! We will discuss hints, tips, and ideas on losing weight, staying motivated, and achieving your fitness goals, whether that is to lose 5 pounds, to do 10 sit-ups, or just incorporate some healthy habits into your daily life!!
As always, everyone and anyone is welcome to join us, or you may feel free to just quietly follow along. I look forward to hearing about all of your successes!
Let me give you a quick progress of my week! I have lost the pound and a half that I had put on last week – YEAH!! It is amazing how that small number seems to make such a big difference in how I feel about what I am doing. Besides walking, and one night of swimming, I really haven’t done much of my regualr exercise routines! I skipped belly dancing and Zumba so far this week. I have been nursing some knee pain, and then twisted my ankle so am working through that! Jason has been doing a great job at cooking some really delicious and healthy food! It has made our week of healthy eating much easier!!
Anyway, the topic for conversation this evening:
What 5 things would you do if you knew that you could not fail???
Give that some thought, I can’t wait to hear from you in the comments section above!!
Have a FABULOUS evening!! π
i would lose weight scrapbook everyday make new friends go shopping read a book
You could do all that, Alice!! π
no losing weight for me is real hard because one i don’t have enough motavation to do it and two is the streodes i take it is just a little harder since i have been eatting less and less caffeen i have only lost 5 lbs
Didn’t you read what Alex wrote? A pound is a pound, and 5 pounds is even 4 more than that!! You can do it!!
The 5 things I would do if I could not fail would be to:
1. Have a singing career
2. Run a mile
3. Learn French
4. Run my own home furnishing/accessories business
5. Have a baby
Man, that list is soooo much harder than I thought it would be!! π
run a mile wow i wish i coud run a block…hehe…
That is ok, Alice – I never claimed to be able to run a block – but that gives me an idea. I will have to get up in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow, while it is still cool, and see how far I can jog, and then try adding a little to that ever day! You know, this week I make it to this light pole, and tomorrow I can make it to this light pole and one bush further!! π
I’m happy for you Chrissie!!! A lb is a lb girlfriend. Haven’t been in a pool since Friday. The hotel doesn’t have on. And its too. Darn hot to walk
Ouch! It is too hot here to walk outside, and it is no where near how hot it is in AZ!!!
OH, and thank you, Sis!! π
so how was your day i have been scrapbooking with the kids. the after dinner we are going for a walk if it cools down
My day has been pretty good!! I have a knee and ankle that are giving me lots of problems, and it is really starting to get on my nerves!!

2. Run a marathon
3. Clean up my credit and debt
4. Buy a house
5. Travel to and explore Europe
I could relate to every one of your 5 sis!! I love them!! π
OH, I really hope my knee won’t take 15 years to heal!! That would be such a bummer, but I know that weight loss will REALLY help!! my goal is take it off in 5 pounds increments!!

WOW!! that is AWESOME!! Trina says, “GO ALEX!!!”
Trina doesn’t have internet tonight but this is what she says, “Today is the first day in over a week that I have had a soda. And her 5 things she would do are:
1. be a size 14
2. like to be able to walk 10 miles without any problems
3. she would LOVE to work in a museum
4. she would like to tour Europe
5. and she would like to go to Washington DC, and get lost in the Smithsonian

she wishes!!! π But shhhhh, don’t tell anybody – she doesn’t want the guard to find out and evict her!!! She hiding amongst the mummies!!!
I love everyone’s lists. I totally can see all those!
Me too!!
BRB BR break
NICE!
What if we could do one tiny thing to get get to one of those goals, that you are not already doing, what would that tiny thing be?
Trina says that she will have to start a savings account that is just for traveling money to get to DC, and Europe.
BRB! I have to take a quick break!!
i have to get someoneto get me moving more to lose the weight.
sorry i have to cut this short going for a walk…love you all
YOU GO GIRRRRL!!! Have a GREAT walk!! π
Well the State of Arizona is garnishing my paychecks for 2008 taxes. So in one way they r forcing me to work on my credit. Lol
Well, that is one way to do it!! Not the fun way though!! π
OK, I am back! Sorry about that! π
Lol! I know! But it has triggered something in me that makes me want clean it up. Always have wanted to but money has been elusive
Yes, I went through the same thing a few years back! I ended up having a much easier time that I thought I would have because of a book I found. I will have to look and see if I can find out which one it is and tell you!! It literally saved our financial lives,and it is a little itty-bitty book that holds your hand through the process!!
Oh that would be wonderful!
Of course, DAHLING!!! π
How are the kiddos doing??
They r good
That’s good! Nette, Megan, and Morgan came over to go swimming last night, and I was thinking about them!!
Chris is on my laptop so I’m using my phone
Gotcha!
I have to call Nette and find out if Megan broke her elbow! I guess she took a really bad fall, tore up her foot, knee and elbow, and Nette was thinking that it might have been broken. She was going to take her in this morning!
Tell him Hiya for me would ya Sis
I do miss swimming with u all.
It would be great if we all lived close by each other down here…LOL
I miss my time with you!!! π Great! NOW I have a hankering for popcorn, pickle and a chunk of cheese!!! π
except for the Hot As Hell part.
LMAO! That is too funny!! π
I know!
Jason, how is your book going?? Any more chapters written?
I am back to faithfully logging all my food onto LiveStrong! They have this new widget that I can put on my blog, it shows how much weight you’ve lost or gained! Well, since I started Livestrong in August of 2006, I have gained 12 pounds, so my widget would say, I HAVE GAINED 12 POUNDS!!! As if I were totally proud of that fact! So you can see that my widget is no where near my blog yet!!! π LOL!
Trina didnt tell me that chunky dunker was on tonight. She has my phone.
Hey, Jennifer!!! Yes, she called me and told me that she has your phone and your wallet!! Something about a ransom having to be paid, so something like that!! π
We are going to try and have Chunky Dunkers every Wednesday! π at 7

Busy can be good – I almost type-o’ed “Busty can be good” Oopsie!!! π

Of course, Love!! I know your stance on the topic!! π
Yeah she is not going to get much out of me. I have way to many of her penguins here.
Oh, you can just remind her that, and I am sure she will drop the goods, and back away slowly!!! π
