10 points goes to whoever can name the movie the quote in my title comes from. so lately, i just can't. get. motivated. yep, that pretty much sums up my attitude this past week. or maybe the past month... i think i'm just burned out with school and so i couldn't be happier for the next couple of weeks to end. i don't know what my problem is, but i have been leaving things to the absolute last minute to get them done. mainly with school. like that's really news to anyone. i have always struggled with procrastination. but i'm talking like major procrastination. procrastination times ten. i'm really good at wasting time lately. and i've also been lacking in household chores and my poor little apartment looks like a bomb went off. i won't go into all the details... mainly so i can save face. but i need to revamp.
i'm thinking of starting feel great in eight. anyone want in on it? some of you already know what it is. but for those of you that don't, it's basically a competition for 8 weeks. everyone puts money in the pot and gets points for eating healthy, exercising and yadda. you also have to subtract points for all the bad foods you eat. the winner gets something like 80% of the pot and 2nd and 3rd get 10%... i think. i will post actual rules if we make it happen and we can play with it, but just thought i would throw it out there to see if anyone else wants a little more motivation in their life? or maybe i'm the only poor soul out there. i'm thinking of starting it either may 4th or 11th... let me know your thoughts. and i won't be offended if you don't want to.

if i know the movie, can i get a percentage of the pot, even without playing??
feel great in eight... mmm, maybe. i do love my sweetsies. but i do a lot of walking, so i already have a leg up.
i'll sleep on it.
It's definately something I might be interested in! I need the motivation!!
I completely agree! I have two weeks left in my semester and I just don't care anymore. I'm so tired and cranky; I just want it to be over. I am going home for a week to visit family and that's all I care about right now. I should probably join "feel great in eight" because I gained so much weight snacking while I study.
easy. willy wonka (the original version...the classic if you will). "i want the world...i want the WHOLE world!" that is a classis movie hill...i'm so pleasantly surprised you quoted it! a girl after my own heart hahahaha!
Will you be offended if I do want to? :) Srsly, let's do it. I was watching the Biggest Loser last night and watching the amazing changes those people have done. And then I really wanted to do the same. But I can't get motivated. Will you be my Jillian? But how much $$ are we talking? Because Kalie is on limited funds here. I will talk to you at mutual tonite. BTW, sleepover this wknd or WHAT??!??!
This is so me! I've seriously probably been the one to drag you down because I am the worst procrastinator ever! Only 2 more weeks left of school we can do it!
Ooo ooo, count me in! Although, I'm not sure I'm fond of the subtracting points for sweets thing. I think I would definatly loose with that. I'm all good for working out and eating healthy, but don't even THINK about taking my sweets away from me! So I guess if you let me play at least you know you can beat me! :)
i know exactly how you feel...school. is. dragging. on. forever. it's killing me. the other morning clint and i spent an hour cleaning out apartment...it was much needed.
i'm all in for feel great in eight!! let me know if it goes through!
Hil we started Great in Eight last week, but I think I would like to join with yours as well to extend it a little longer. By then i will be in a good rhythm of it. So if you will let me I'm in.
hilary! thanks for the sweet comment. i did sell my camera... sad. i would have loved to have sold it to you! hope everything is going well in AZ.
I'm in for great in 8!!!
Hilly. I'm so very proud of you for quoting Willy Wonka!!!!! You're my hero!
Hil, could you possibly be burned out because you have 25 credit hours, you're working multiple jobs, and your husband isn't exactly around to help out at home right now? I think you definately have justification for being a little overwhelmed and procrastinating a little. Just hang in there - it will be over soon :)
And... Willy Wonka, of course! Love it!
Will you accept pregnant women into your competition? I bet I would earn a lot of points for going through childbirth during the competition?! What do you think? I could use a little motivation too!
Hailey and Kimmy want to be in for great in eight as well.
hey hil, so I haven't checked your blog in like EVER. how funny that i'd come back and it'd be about FG8. haha. So.... if you run it i'll totally do it. I bet I could even get a bunch of the other girls to do it too. I got burned out of running the competition, but i'm all about sending you everything and having you run it. I'll even give you the password to our email address and the blog address. :) (nothing like passing the buck, eh?)
Hey Hill! I think I may want to do the feel great in eight- well at least I should! I like treats so much so I have to think about it:) As for the camera question- I have a Nikon D700. It's pricey but it's been worth every penny! If you want a point and shoot rather than a SLR I can recommend some good ones:)
Hey hil! I got a blog and I'm pretty excited about it. It's lindseyandorlando.blogspot.com
Hi Hilary! I might probably do feel great in eight. Could you e-mail me the criteria for it? I'll need to know what I'm up against and get mentally prepared for it.
