OMGosh, we're in the home stretch now girls!!! Since the last week is only 3 days how is that working for goals like mine where I have 'Strength Training 3 times a week'? I typically do my ST'ing M, W, F and well...it's the weekend. Should I throw one more ST'ing day in there, perhaps Sunday? Or should I call that goal 'MET'?

I am still amazed everytime I come to see everyone's updates--we did some serious movin' ladies! You should all be insanely proud of yourselves!!!

Hiiiiiiiiii girls

JACQUIIIIIII oh having met goal! wtg!

CRAZYMAMA, **** yes girl! yes you have met goal! Absolutely! If dividing goals into weeks of that nature (like the s.t 3x per week say)...I would go by a 28 day or 4 week month and t han anything else on top is gravy. Ifff you hadn't gotten the 3rd s.t workout in on the fourth week but one of the extra days, I would still call it a goal met. wtg crazy mama

Girls, I read all the posts and am just awed and inspired and.......can't really find all the words at the moment but just want to say congratulations to everyone on the workouts, the diligence, etc.

MsPerception, thanks you!

Newshinyme, I'm sure it's just fluid retention. Your shedule is rocking chicky! : ) keep up the great work.

Well girls, Going to post my minutes and head downstairs to see DH a bit. TOday went well.... I get a good workout on the wii (tell you more about that later). I am so thankful to be back on track and owe you all a bunch of thanks....I k,now I wasnt feeling well and all t hat but still....I could of veered off, its scary! I think I have about 122 minutes and 2 days left to reach goal so this is for you all! THanks girls , love ya. Keep up the awesome work, everyone is doing so well.

Good morning ladies!! My DH and I walked our new mastiffs for the first time today! Only once did the one I was walking take off with me and my DH just happened to catch the leash as she came running by him, lol! They actually did amazingly well!! I'm not sure what spooked our female when she started running, but you'd never guess I weigh 189 lbs with the way she took off with me, lol! Thank goodness DH was there! He's 6'5" 270 lbs, and he just reached out one-handed and stopped her on a dime!

Only today and tomorrow left in May, and then we get to start anew in June!

Delphi, I think it's pretty safe to say that you have MET GOAL!! CONGRATS!!! You have absolutely rocked May!! Why don't you consider resting tomorrow? You deserve it! Plus, you can help those sore muscles of yours get ready for June!

Jacqui ~ Well not technically. I didn't do the treadmill every other day, I got so excited about exercise I added all that other stuff in. Yes, Sundays will be on my days off for June and tomorrow me and my oldest are going to go fishing, so I'll be relaxing, that's for sure. Thanks for the concern! It means a lot!

Delphi, um, I'm sorry, but we don't do "technically" here! You destroyed your goal!!! Have a great day fishing!!

FSA, an hour? You got that, lady!!

It's super late right now, but I wanted to update this before going to sleep. I will read all the posts and do personals tomorrow at a decent hour.
