Afternoon, ladies.
Hope you've all had a good day. I'm at work and things are pretty quiet for now. I have a full shift so I actually don't have anybody to dispatch for, so all I do is provide relief for people when they go to lunch or step out for a cigarette break. Makes it a whole lot easier to get the everyday paperwork and stuff done, that's for sure.
Lexxis - Aww, thanks for thinking about me.
I sure hope you get to feeling better soon. I think being under the weather makes it 10 times harder to stay on track. YUCK!!!
Mmckellen - I love that you're going to walk instead of taking the train!!! So many people don't realize that simple things like that can REALLY make a difference in your fitness level. Even something as simple as taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
Ruth - Thanks!!!
Sorry you had a crappy weekend.
I've always been a "silver lining" kind of girl and never really understood people that fuss constantly about things they have no control over. So it's raining and cold outside...be glad you have your sight and can see the rain!!!
Here's to a better weekend (and better weather!!!) this next weekend.
WaistingTime - Thanks.
Good luck getting back on track...you can do it!!!
And I totally agree w/ you about feeling better all around when I'm on plan.
Cyndi - Thanks for thinking about me.
I have to admit I giggled at the thought of trying to "declutter" only to have your e-mail inbox cluttered up w/ 400 e-mails, LOL
cottagebythesea - Thanks!!!
Oooh, the Aquarium sounds like fun!!! I got to visit the aquarium in New Orleans the weekend before Katrina destroyed it...it was an awesome one!!! I went to the new one in Atlanta last year and wasn't impressed at all.
What's your favorite part??? The sea otters are mine...they're just too darn cute!!!
kmac - Holy crap...I've never watched The Biggest Loser but their workouts must be INSANE to burn that many calories!!! I giggled yesterday b/c I posted my walk on the beach and apparently CardioTrainer was confused b/c it calculated my calories burned at 18,674!!! LMFAO!!! That would be awesome, no???
TallandThin - Thanks...good to see you, too!!! And thanks for the good luck wishes. I have no moving violations on my record so I'm hoping he might take SOME pity on me...we shall see. I never really got into DWTS but I have seen SOME episodes. Is Hines Ward still on there??? He's an ex-UGA player.
lindaisnuts - Welcome to the site!!! This is a GREAT place to be encouraged to stay on track. Posting in the daily thread seems to help a lot of us out. Hey, check out the monthly exercise challenges...that might help you out w/ staying motivated!!! I promise you, once you get going w/ the exercise it DOES get addictive. I started out at the recommended 30 minute walk per day. Now I go to the gym twice a day AT LEAST 5 times a week. I love it!!!
You just have to find something you like doing.
If you have a gym membership or end up getting one, some of the classes offered might be helpful. I love my DanceFit class (it's the same thing as Zumba, pretty much) and really hate when I have to miss it!!!
