Here comes Ellis... creeping back into the exercise thread...

Hi, girls! :wave:

Jodi, you're killin' me, darling... :lol3: ... you're just killin' me.
Are you serious?! Your pedometer TALKS!?!? That's too freakin' creepy, man. Next thing you know, we'll all have chips implanted in our foreheads giving us shock treatment if we don't do the required exercise for the day. (which might not be a bad thing...)
Have fun playing tennis with DH!!

Lala, thanks for the kick, hon! :) I just got back from my exercise class. First one in a week. :hat:
I hope you can figure something out with your elliptical. You know, I find that when I run, it doesn't matter how much I do... I'm burnt. So I could run for 5 minutes and be burnt, or I could run for 30 minutes and be equally burnt. Sometimes it's just a matter of pushing myself a bit, you know? I'm not implying that you're not pushing yourself... only that sometimes we think we can't do more than we're doing. Oh, heck... am I making any sense here, hon? :lol: Anyhow, big hugs... :hug:

Kitty, I'm glad the spinning is going well! You must be in fantastic shape, girl!! That such a great workout!! :cheer:

Donna, dear, how are the crunches going? ;) Are you exercising right this minute? :)

May is almost here, eh? My gosh... it's almost shorts/capri weather! (thank God for capris. I always hated them when I was younger. And thinner. But now they're a life-saver.)

Well, it's mostly still morning here, so... Good morning!

Jodi - Good luck with the tennis match... kick his butt!

Ellis - Welcome back! Have a cup of mojo! :D You are probably right about the not pushing myself part. I really don't like the elliptical much, so I am probably subconciously sabotaging it. Or "so suitably subconciously sabotaging"... hehehe... sorry, couldn't resist... I may shake things up a bit after I start my new job. Once my schedule is settled I may work in time at the university gym instead of at home and use some different machines. The place I'll be working is only about 10 minutes from campus.

Oh yeah, I seem to have a job! :carrot: It's not official yet, I still have to go to the temp agency and pass the typing test, but they want me. I comfortably type at about 60 wpm and I need to get to at least 65 wpm on the test. I'm practicing, but I think it's do-able.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

-Lala, boogie-ing again... :dancer:

oh ellis you sound so upbeat today!!! good for you!!! the class must of been a good one! :hug: yes the darn pedometer talks ROFL i had to put it on mute though. yesterday at work during a meeting it very inappropriately (sp?) announced "you have walked one thousand two hundred and fourteen steps, you have burned one hundred and twenty five calories, you are one tenth of the way to your goal for today" very loudly in an almost silent room OMG !!!:yikes: was my face red.:o thank goodness it didn't tell about how much i weigh, that's programmed in there too. flippin little traitor!!:lol3:

oh good luck with the typing test lala!! how exciting getting a new job!!

Lala, good luck with the job!! Let us know how it goes... :hug:

Jodi... :lol3: :rofl:

I'm gardening, and yes, I'm counting it as exercise. :D

just a quick little hello...I've been really busy lately...I be back on tomorrow

lala- good luck getting the job..I'm sure you will do great on the test...

Crapola! I decided to be a lazy bum yesterday... and I completely forgot about the 4000 crunches! Now today is the last day of the month and I'd have to do 395 crunches to make 4000.... hrmmm.... I wonder how badly that would hurt... ugh... I guess I could do my usual 200 regular and 30 reverse ones, then do 50 at a time at other times throughout the day. I'd only have to do about 3 more sets. Maybe....

-Lala

I've had a few bad days of eating earlier this week but I'm back on track.....I also missed a few days of workouts...my trainer worked out my abs really good on wed and I was so sore on thursday I couldn't hardly move..all better now and ready to workout thoses abs again..

I'm in a great mood today...I went through my clothes today and I have a huge bag of stuff that is now too big to give to charity....All of my old clothes that I wanted to get back into fit great....It's such a great feeling...

Jodi-love your pedometer story...:rofl:

Oh, my gosh. After my lengthy post yesterday, I realize that I neglected to mention the fact that I exercised yesterday. :rofl:
30 minute exercise class, plus two + hours of gardening. :D

played 1 1/2 hours of tennis this morning, mind you we are not very good so this mainly consists of me running after the ball (lots of exercise!!) also shot some basketball with DS. got called in to volunteer at bingo (walking for 2+ hrs) and then did my normal sunday shopping cleaning laundry etc. so very active sunday here. my pedometer is at 17000 steps for the day, sheesh can't wait to go back to work for a rest lol.

great job this month all of you exercising queens!!! everyone gets a gold star!!

Hey, ladies! :wave:

Great job to everyone who participated in the April challenge!! :hat:

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