Cake, great job on upping your miles! :running: Yay!

Ican, I don't envy your next two weeks, but just think about the accomplishment that is waiting for you at the end! I wouldn't worry about cutting back on the exercise. I think you have to prioritize your time right now, and with such little sleep, it makes perfect sense that you would take the time to nap! Good luck on your thesis! :goodluck:

Terapet, I have to laugh at the clothes shopping. I have a 19-year-old daughter so I know what you're up against! :dizzy: Lol!

Hi FSA, thank you for the well wishes! :hug:

OLD GOAL: April 1--Biked! April 2--Biked! Walked! April 3--Biked! April 4--Walked! April 5--Walked! Biked! NEW GOAL: April 6--Biked! Biked! April 7--Biked! Biked! April 8--Biked! Biked! April 9--Walked! Biked! April 10--Biked! Biked!

Hiiiiiiiiii girls,,, :) Hope you all had a great day. Happy Friday! wow, it seems as though the week went by fast!

Terapet........dance fever baby! lol, I like that! Oh it sounds neat, thanks for telling us more about it. You ahve been working very hard and doing terrific. Regarding today, sure things come up sometime...especially now so close to the holiday. Hope you had a nice day shopping with daughter. I need to find something still to wear too and nope, it wont be a sleeveless sundress for me either! lol and I'm way past 18! :lol: Hope you had a nice time : ).

Icandoallthings, good for you for :book2: and congrats on the 40 pages thus far! That is great. I agree with Jacqui. Studying very hard like that can be tiring and your body probably wants and needs those naps, especially on such little sleep. Anyhow, keep up the great work. The exercise will be there when and if you have extra time and/or when your done with your thesis. THanks for your encouraging words : ) .

Cakebatter, I know it girl. THe time seems to have gone by so fast, I feel the same way. Wtg on the workout and the 3 miles :carrot::carrot: cakebatter? yup, I'm an animal baby! :lol: Oh , I started laughing when I read that! haha :)

Jacqui, yay! Another day down! Like cakebatter said, we are 10 days into it already. Hope DH is feeling better and that you have a great weekend.

Lewisempire, MsPerception, prettyfriend, diva, and to all...hi girls :)

Hi Ladies! Let's all get busy and work off those Easter meals! Are you with me?! :woops:

OLD GOAL: April 1--Biked! April 2--Biked! Walked! April 3--Biked! April 4--Walked! April 5--Walked! Biked! NEW GOAL: April 6--Biked! Biked! April 7--Biked! Biked! April 8--Biked! Biked! April 9--Walked! Biked! April 10--Biked! Biked!
April 11--Walked! Biked! April 12--Biked! Biked!

Jacqui I am with you. I came in to wirk late to go to the gym..hehe. I ran 3.5 miles this morning and then I anm going for a second workout this evening after work. FSA you have the most encouraging posts lady. I love the "animal mentatlity". Lewisempire no worries. We get busy sometimes and then we squeeze in exercise in all the cracks ya know? I hope everyone had a good weekend. I am trying to clock 13 miles this week in honor of the past weekend.

Hi girlsssssssss, checking in! Jacqui, yessssss...with you! : ) wtg on the easter workout :carrot::carrot: Cakebatter, lol @ animal mentality :lol:..........speaking of which, wtg on that run! :carrot::carrot: I bet you feel good, what a great way to start our n ew day! The scale can be a tough customer, we need that mentality to beat it.....and we will! ;). Lewisempire, ugh on the taxes, bet your glad you got that over with. Hope your day is going good and that you have a day off coming up soon. MsPerception, miss ya and waiting for your return so we can all continue to kick butt together! With that being said, I better get a move in, chat soon girls. A big hello to everyone, catch you later.

A quick note to say I am OP and keeping busy. Still can't post too regularly, but I think I may have dropped some weight but can't tell for sure b/c I FORGOT MY SCALE on this first leg of our move! OOPS! Oh well...can't post minutes at the moment, but I have been going for long walks pretty much everyday plus other stuff when time permits. You ladies are making me proud to be a part of this group! Keep on doing it, ladies!!!

I haven't checked in for a bit because school work is my whole life for the next 11 days and I had lots of commitments on the easter holiday and didn't get a work-out in. I've decided to stop weighing myself so I don't add any EXTRA stress to my life at the moment, but I want to keep up with my exercise as best I can because it helps keep me sane and helps me sleep better (when I get the chance to sleep, haha).

I managed to run a 5k this weekend, walked a mile today, and I got some light weights and push-ups in this evening. EDIT: Actually, after I took a brief nap this afternoon I felt reenergized and so I went out a did a 5k run, and it definitely feels good to have gotten some exercise!

My new totals:
(total/walk/run=16.8/3/13.8)

I'll have to pick it up a bit if I want to hit my goal for the month of fifty miles, but I think I can do it if I stay focused and crank out a lot of miles after I turn my thesis in on April 24.

Good luck this week, everyone! All your hard work is inspiring!

hey ladies I squeezed out another 2 miles this evening before dinner for a total of 5-1/2 miles tonight! YAY. I am only 8 miles form goal this month

Hi ladiesssssssssss, congrats on the workoutssss! :carrot::carrot::carrot:
