I made it to the gym last night and did 30 minutes on the elliptical. I did my 20 pushups and 100 crunches again this morning

Ellis - feel better soon Have you been to the doctor yet?

Thank you, girls! I had the most wicked headache yesterday, along with my cough. Suddenly, around 8pm, this bell went off in my head. Caffeine! I'd had none all day! I swigged a couple (okay, four) glasses of diet pop, and BINGO! Headache gone.
Unfortunately I was awake until 3 in the morning.
I'm feeling pretty peppy this morning! Still coughing and sneezing like crazy, but at least I have energy!

You're all doing so well. Hey, it's almost April!!

plb@m, I'm sorry about the pain and asthma. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Lala, come along, my dear. Let's you and I do a little exercise today, eh?

Fishwoman, looks like this is going to be a big-number month for you, girl!!

Going to do laundry and look at my treadmill...

[dgpebbles]

Just a qiuck hello...I'm running late today and don't have time to post right now...I will get on later tonight after work..

Keep up the great work ladies..

[ellis]

Hi, Donna! I hope your work day flies by.

[dalai_lala]

Weds was better, yay! I did AM stretch, crunches, dumbells, then PM stretch and the elliptical.

Today wasn't bad, either. I missed the morning stuff because I got a call from the person who is going to come appraise our house for our refinancing. She's coming tomorrow, so I had some work to do! But this evening I did PM stretch, crunches, and the elliptical.

Thanks for the encouragement Ellis! And I'm glad you're feeling better... woo hoo for caffeine! I have no less than three shirts (plus a coffee mug!) with the caffeine molecule emblazoned on them.... why? 'Cos I'm a nerd...

Good work all you hardworking chicks!

[ellis]

Lala, I'm so glad you got your exercising in! It feels so good (afterwards), doesn't it?
I'm with you on the java. That's one thing I refuse to give up!!
Good luck with the refinancing. Money is such a headache. I could use about 40 grand right about now.

I went to my exercise class!! I accidentally got the time wrong, so I had to wait around and do the harder class. I did 20 minutes of fast walking on the treadmill while I waited (still a bit too wheezy to run). The class was SUCH a killer, but I did it, and I feel fabulous!

[dalai_lala]

Wow, Ellis, so you did the harder class and still felt faboo! That's great... especially since you weren't feeling completely better yet..

hello everyone....I'm doing great...I missed the gym on wed cause of work but I made it yesterday...I have an appointment tomorrow with a trainer...It's a one time free session where they go over goals, food and they show you how to do a few of the weight machines correctly...ALSO they will messure your body fat %....Thats the main reason I'm doing it..kinda scary to find out but I still want to know....I will let you know how it goes..

ellis- great job going for the harder class and congrats on making it through it...and 20 min on treadmill too...I know when your sick it's hard to get moving...great job just don't do too much till you feel better....we don't want you getting worse...

Lala- great job keeping you your routine...Maybe I should start doing some stretching too...I only do very little right before I workout but I bet that AM stretch really gets you feel ing good and ready to start the day...

Fishwoman- Your doing great with those crunches and all that walking...keep it up

[dalai_lala]

Hi Donna- I love, love, love the stretching. I feel sooooo good, plus it acts as a bit of a gateway to real exercise for me. It's easy to make myself get up and stretch, then, I'm already in my workout gear and moving, so I might as well exercise... I got a good book, Stretching by Bob Anderson. It's been out forever and is a staple of the exercise section in bookstores, but you should be able to find it at the library too. It's good to stretch properly so that you don't hurt yourself.

Good morning and Happy Friday!

[plb@m]

I DID IT !!! FEELS GOOD !!!!
Thank you to all you ladys for being here ! You have helped me more then you will ever know.

[FishWoman]

I will have my grand total tonight, after whatever I do to work out, but this is going to be a hard month to beat!

Although, I just realized the other day that my alleged 40 minutes of walking was not accurate - it only takes me 15 minutes to get to the subway, not 20. I am going through and dropping all those times down.

This was a great month ladies! Let's keep it up for April and warmer weather!

plb - Excellent work! You've sure been working hard and I'll bet it's paying off for you...

Fishwoman - Maybe you are making better time to the subway now than at the beginning of the month? Maybe it's easier because your stamina has improved? I dunno, just a thought!

Congrats everyone on all of your hard work! Let's have a fantastic April!

(play that funky music) (begin boogie)

Ya know, I wish I really were in as good of a mood as I'm pretending to be... my PMS is kicking my butt, I'm irritable, and my back is frickin' killing me... okay rant over, had to get that out!

Congratulations on all your hard work last month, ladies!!

I'm going to close this thread and start a new one for April.
