Skipping the workout to finish up my badge...

I'm usually up early every morning to do my workout on the eliptical. Actually, today would be my last day on the beginner weightloss cartridge.
BUT, not this morning... I'm going to forego my workout to (hopefully) get most of my personal badge completed at pogo.com. Im almost done with my 2003 albumn (next week is my last badge for that year!) and it's not looking too good right now. I have to win 30 100-point games of hearts. I'm only at 20, and that's with constantly playing! Unless I get a couple wins in this morning, I'll be up until 2am again making sure I get this badge.
I figure missing one workout wont hurt me, but not getting this badge - or any sleep tonight - will! Wish me luck!

Why is the badge do important to you? I am just not that into games anymore. My more favorite game is majhon and I have not found one like the one we use to have. I wish I could find one.

I am one of those stupid competetitive people. If there's a challenge out there, I HAVE GOT TO DO IT! Actually, I do like the sense of acomplishment, but I sure don't like the feeling of defeat (like this morning, since I didn't finish that stupid badge!).
Have you played the majong at pogo.com? They have a couple and I do like the safari one better than the 'normal' one.

No I saw one at pogo and it was just like one I had downloaded and did not like it. I have not seen the second one.

I do wish you luck getting your badge. It seems like I got that badge not too long ago but I could be mistaken. Do you play it with other people or against the comps? I always do it with the comps unless it is one that has to be rated. I do enjoy hearts but I don't feel the fun playing with others as I feel I will mess up big time. hahaha I am still working on the turbo 21 to get ranked out on it. Last night I reached rank 49 and I told my husband I want to reach rank 50 before badge day tomorrow. I need less than 1900 more 21's now to get that done.
I know you can get your badge today.

Wow! I know you've been working really hard on that, I hope you got it!
I did not get my badge, I fell asleep at the computer and decided to just go to bed.

Congrats!!! That's great that you have them ranked out. I only have one game that I've gotten all the ranks on. Every now and then I play some that I'm over half way to, but I've been busy working on the badges...

Oh no, I am so sorry that you didn't get your badge. If you ever need or want help please let me know and I will work with you on any that I know how to play. Yes I finally got to rank 50 on turbo 21, it seems like it took forever. I think that is 4 games now that I have ranked out on. Each day before I play any games on there I do get my daily word search and my trivial pursuit done.
Good luck with your badges this week.1 person likes this

Thanks, but I didn't get it. I fell asleep a couple times at the computer last night trying to get it and just gave up and went to bed. Oh well, I can always try again in a few weeks...

Good luck with getting your badge. It is sooo aggravating when you have one badge that you just have a heck of a time getting. I can't miss any workouts starting next week I might have to slow down on pogo can't be sitting not buring calories as I am in a Biggest Loser contest at my YMCA. Good luck getting your badge.

Good luck reiny! I know you'll do it but I'll keep my fingers crossed you're not up late again tonight.
Just one more week! How great is that? I know you'll be so happy to finally have 2003 behind you. I'm still hoping for a marathon week. It's been awhile now, so you would think we would get one.

Ugh, I was so mad last night. I kept falling asleep at the computer and knew that I just wasn't going to make it. I finally went to bed, now I've got to wait a couple weeks to try that badge again. :-(
