KimL1214-I live off campus in an apartment with my daughter so i'll be packing my lunch or coming home for lunch. I'm gonna keep the lunch i've been bringing to work because it seems to work out for me. Last semester I had a friend that came to all the cardio classes with me (3 a week) so I'm hoping they fit into her schedule too :)

Well, 139 is definitely not going to be my final goal. I'm going to guess I'll end up wanting 125-130. I'll see when I get there. The 139 is my "first ultimate goal" (Heh, kind of an oxymoron) since I haven't been in the 130s since right before I started the job I quit (3 months ago), which was over 5 years ago. I actually started swimming 4x a week again (it's been years!) a couple weeks ago, and I started yoga last week. I love it. I've gone to 10 classes/hours in the past 7 days, on top of the 4 hours I've swam at the gym. :) I even got up at 5ish this morning to go to the 6 am class. I won't even WORK that early, and they pay me. :)

Kim- Going to school for a degree in environmental science/biology. :) I want to do outdoor education eventually though. :)

I did a 4.5 mile run this morning. Getting back into it after being so sore from the 14 miles the other day. I'm impressed that my body can handle this much you know, I never thought it could until I started trying.

My mice are my inspiration for the half marathon. They just run, run, run, run, run on that little wheel in their tank on the table here in front of me. Haha... okay not really my inspiration, but it amazes all of us living here. We just watch them go go go!

Props to everyone who is doing all that exercising and going to the gym. I'm motivated to run when I'm outside but come winter it's going to be a tough bet to get me in that gym. That's why I signed up for some activity classes this fall in the health department. Swimming, skating, self defense, and weight lifting. Then I'm required to go to the gym for class and will indeed do so.

Jazzercise can really be as intense as you make it. There are high and low intensity versions of the more bouncy moves. If you really throw yourself into it, you can work up quite a sweat. Some girls will even add ankle or wrist weights to up the intensity. Its a great work out and its fun.

Hi guys! This will be my first BL challenge as well.

Hi everyone! It's been a rough couple of weeks. But with school starting and this challenge, getting back on track is one of my highest priorities!!

Looking forward to a BL challenge.
I think I've hit my first plateau :( I didn't believe in them before but despite all my hard work sticking to my plan and exercising I've been stuck between 200-201.5 for 4 weeks!! It's making me absolutely crazy, especially being soo close to Onederland!

Stalls are so frustrating :(

today will be rough, it's my last day at work and my coworker is baking me a strawberry cake with strawberry frosting..i've never had that before i cant pass it up lol and i promised my daughter i'd take her for ice cream to celebrate her last day of summer camp. oh boy! oh well, i'll just have to make sure i'm completely on plan(WW) the rest of my week, i do have flex points so i'll be using some well probably all of those...

This will be my first BL challenge. I'm so excited :) My son starts school on the 7th and I'm thinking of doing the C25K. I have the app on my iphone but I always try to do it in the gym and quit. This time I'm going to do it outside. Maybe I'll take the dog along... I'm also really motivated because my hubby is at training for a month so I've got literally no excuse not to stay on plan and loose some serious weight.

I got a new yoga mat today. Yippee! I ordered one online and got it the other day. Forgot to bring it to two classes, but finally remembered it for my 2nd class today. I don't like it at all. :( So I went ahead and spent $50 for the good rubber one I like. :) I'd have preferred the thicker one, but really didn't want to spend $80 when the yoga itself is pretty expensive.

I'm so ready for the challenge! Does anyone know who's coordinating it??

KimL1214-School starts Aug 30th ugh lol

School starts August 30th for me too. I'm ready for it. Need some structure, and looking forward to not working full time. Not to mention my birthday should be fun (Sept 3).
Hope all is well!!
