I honestly do not care for a free sample of deodorant. I'm a Lady Speed Stick gal, honestly. I just wanted to gain points that will move me to weight loss. I thought Degree's promotional Facebook app to get women motivated to move would fit the bill. Nope, 8 different attempts with 2 different browsers did not work. Facebook showed that I have the application, but every time I try to log some points, it'll lead me back to the form to start earning points. Argh! I want something that might lead to a choose-your-own-fitness-adventure grand prize. Reading Degree's Facebook wall shows that a couple of people were successful in earning points. What gives?

I met a roadblock and I've called it quits. I'm not going to use their product anyways. I don't understand the magical science behind motion-activated antiperspirant. I thought all deodorants just create a barrier from odorous sweat; it doesn't need motion to do that.

Someone please educate me about the pros of this new magical thing.

Yesterday's Results The scale reads: 145 lbs. Goal: 137 lbs. The stupid Wal*mart pedometer reads: 3375 steps, 0.852 mi., 140 calories (Lies again - the pedometer reset with my notice) Other aerobic activities: Snoring :( My ma has one. My future mother-in-law has one. According to one website, "Neoprene belt helps shed inches and fat around the waist. Lose weight naturally around the waistline." So far, no offense to them, I haven't seen it work for either one of them. I honestly never worn belts. Even at a slimmer physique, I didn't care or need to wear belts. To this day, I love wearing baggy jeans, but I never sag. My hope is even if I lose weight, I wouldn't need to go purchasing new baggy jeans. What fitness accessories can help (I do know there are no one-stop-cure-alls out there) lose the weight "naturally?" So far I have ankle weights and small weighted gloves.

Last Month's Results The scale reads: 145 lbs. Goal: 127 lbs. I can't believe 8 weeks has passed already! Look what I have accomplished within that time: I've earned the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award ! See, I earned myself some golden stars! I could've technically had 7 shiny, golden badges of accomplishment, but I had forgotten to keep track of my steps while I was in Southern CA (The first week of the challenge). I think I actually did more walking during that trip compared to the last 7 weeks of this endeavor. I guess it was silly of me to initiate the challenge before going on the trip. Regardless, I'm content with the results because: I was able to reach my goal. I was dedicated to this endeavor and a positive result came of it. I got the award electronically . I wasn't going to dish out 6 buckos and some change to get the paper one with stickers and a badge. There were many stressful periods during the weeks, but I walked off most of t...
