WW Clubs and Groups - The Reluctant Sneakers #2

Wow, We made it to #2, we are doing great Marion.

Come on any lurkers out there, come and join us no matter how often you are exercising, even if you are just thinking about it. Maybe we can all motivate eachother.

Well, I didn't exercise at all today unless you call reading a book exercise, LOL!

Marion, did the pool guy ever show?

Bren

Hi Punky,
No the pool guy didnt ever show yesterday, but the good news, well good for him, lol, :s: as i was gonna hunt him down and kill him if he didnt show today, is he was here first thing this morning. I am so excited!!!!!!:D I think i am gonna try a water aerobics thing, i gotta look into it,:?: not sure how i would do it myself but there must be tapes or books or something, lol. I am gonna walk tonight, i decided i am going to take the kids for a walk to return our movies. Its gotta be atleast a few miles, i will measure it when i bring joey to school, so i know how far it is. Talk to you later

Marion :wave:

Hi Marion,

Don't worry about it, I have not been around either, no exercise at all. We went through a tornado saturday and we were all outside right in it. It was awful, You can read about it on the nightowls thread if you want. As for other threads, I basically just post to the nightowls but am forever reading on the ww general and ww food points forum. There are tons of threads around though. There are some countdown threads and also some weigh in threads like tuesday weigh-ins if that is the day of your weigh in etc... WellI haven't been exercising at all but I will definitely get alot of exercise on saturday, we are going on a day trip to new york city and once the bus gets us there we will spend the day on foot. They are dropping us off and picking us up at Rockefeller center. I have never been to a big city so it ought to be good. A lady at work set it up and rented the bus so it only costs us each $39.00, seems pretty reasonable to me. Well I will try to get my but in gear and exercise soon.

Brenda

Hi again Bren!!!
A tornado, omg!!!!!!! I forgot to tell you that we were in worcester on monday at the ecotarium, got plenty of exercise that day!!!! I didn't get to exercise today, oh hopefully tomorrow.......actually i have a walking "date" with one of the ladies that i am now attending meetings with......this is gonna work or i am gonna kick my own butt!!!!!!!!!

Marion :wave:

Just popping to say hi. No exercise ofcourse. I am definitely going to get my butt back in gear starting saturday.

Marion, OOOh the ecotarium, I have heard lots about that but never been. What is it like? Would it be fun for kids? I don't even know what it is, just heard the name alot.

Brenda

Hi Brenda,
I read your posts on the other board about the tornado!!!!!! How horrible!!!!!!!!! I would be absolutely freaked!!!!!!!!!
WEll i walked yesterday for almost an hour, not sure how many miles it was, i didn't clock it yet, but i will today..............it wasn't as far as usual i am sure because i was walking with someone else, that walks pretty slow, but it was still exercise!! So far no walk today, but i am power cleaning my house again, i haven't stopped sweating in hours, lol, thats gotta count for something!!!!
I have done pretty well at staying within my points this week i think........i am lousy at journaling....but i have tried and feel like i have doing well.......drank all my water, hopefully i will have a really good first week back..........it makes it so nice to have to go with others, cause you dont feel like you can slack so much.......oh yeah i was reading something on one of the other boards about some journal for your computer. Do you know what it is??? I was thinking in order to get more support for myself, i would try and post on 1 new board a day. Oh well back to cleaning, my house feels like i am never done cleaning!!!!!!

Marion :wave:

Hi there marion,

Yes the tornado was sooooo scary, thank goodness we all did okay. Well yesterday I went on a day trip to new york city and we pretty much walked for 6 hours, gosh I thought my legs were gonna fall off. We did take 2 short trips(5 minutes each)on the subway but mostly it was walking. We went all through china town, little italy, rockefeller center and times square. It was sooooo much fun. We just loved it and got back home at about 10:30pm, today I just relaxed and nurtured a blister on one of my toes. I also went grocery shopping today and I found some of that special K with strawberries cereal. I really love it, it is loaded with the berries(dehydrated) and 2pts per cup. I gotta say I just love it!! It is awesome. Well I will try to walk tomorrow.

See Ya
Brenda

Hi Brenda,
I walked a short while last night, today not at all :( I am sick, i have a sore throat, and feel overall crummy!!!! I will post more tomorrow

Marion :wave:

Hi There,

Wow, I hope you feel better soon, I have a cough that just won't end and just got over the sore throat before my trip. I walked around the field a couple times when Bree had her game tonight. not much but exercise just the same.

Brenda

Thats what i used to do, when i took my nephew (he was living with us at the time) to football practice, 3 nights a week, i used to walk the field.
This cold is dragging me, its hard to do anything when you dont get enough air, i used the updraft this morning and now feel a bit better, so will probably use it ever 4 hours for a few days and see if i can shake this, i HATE asthma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Tomorrow is WI, i am excited, i have worked pretty hard this week at trying to do a decent job, the next part i gotta get good at is journaling, cause if i dont do that it eventually leads to overeating

Marion :wave:

I did it i went and weighed in and lost 6.8 i am so excited!!!!!!! But i cant stay and post more the kiddos are up really late and they are waiting for me to read to them, talk to you tomorrow

Marion :wave:

Wow, Wow, Wow!!!:) That is sooooooo great I am so happy for you , wow what a loss. Well we have 1 more thing in common, I have asthma too. I suffer from it very rarely though and have had only 2 serious incidents.

I walked 1 mile today

Bren

Good Morning,
WEll i don't think i am gonna go to the doctor, i feel much improved today, not better, but better :) I can't wait to feel good enough to get out and walk again......I am feeling so good about WW, that i want to jump in with both feet at a dead run, lol, i am for the most part an all or nothin kinda girl!!!!
WEll its off to the shower for me gotta work today, i do substitute noon mom and crossing guard, and this week i am subbing both for the rest of the week.

Marion :wave:

Hi There Marion,

Sorry I have been missing in action. It has been a busy weekend for me but a good one. My brother and his wife came down from Maine this weekend, he is in a alcohol rehabilitation program for a year and has lost all his short term memory, he has been there 3 months and I think if he had the chance he would drink still. It is a shame because he is killing himself, this is a last ditch effort to help him. He is much older than me and I never lived with him and have always only just saw him twice a year but he is my brother and I love him. It is sad what alcohol can do to a person.

Well yesterday I took the kids to the carnival and walked around for 2.5 hours so that should count for something. I did gardening with my mom today for an hour or so and that wasn't much exercise but it is all I can claim, I have not been doing very well on my exercise. We went to spags today and then the christmas tree shop and that was about it.

Well hope you are still around.

Brenda

hi brenda,
Yep i am still here, we went away for the weekend, it was soooo rainy!!!!!! I walked about a mile yesterday and that was it for me too.
Alcohal is horrible, a good friend of mine has a huge problem with it, in fact he is in a halfway house right now, he seems to be doing good, but only time will tell.

Sorry i am beat, had to unpack and cook a ton of foood so it wouldnt spoil from the weekend and its finally done, so i can read to holly and go to bed :)

Marion :wave:

Hi There,

Well I didn't exercise today, it has done nothing but rain the last week as I am sure you know. I did lose 1# at my meeting last night though so I am happy with that.

Brenda

Hi Brenda,
WEll i walked yesterday prolly about 5 miles all together, but today did basically none :( :( Oh well i ate okay, so tomorrow hopefully i can walk!!!! Good job on losing the lb, every lb down is a lb closer to goal!!!!

Marion :wave:

Wow, I have been gone way too long, this is my first post and boy things have changed. Well I have been sick, sick, sick, I haven't exercised at all but boy have I ate:o I have been very bad and its time to get on the ball.

Brenda

Hi Brenda,
