Jacque ~ A dazzle is a device a lot of "gamers" use to actually record real time game footage off of your TV. Kind of like, recording a movie but with much better quality. I'll record my next cardio session, which will be Saturday and then I'll post it on Youtube and send you a link to it. Sometimes, with "reviews" they show you highlights only not the interface. So you can not really gauge a game on it's true merit.

Jacqui~ oh hun, :hug::hug::hug::hug: I wish we could all come over and give you real hugs in person! I am so sorry things aren't going well right now. I do hope whatever news you got, that everything turns out alright. Don't worry about not posting everyday--we're not fairweather friends ya know. ;) Just take care of yourself and whenever you need us, we'll be here. I know how tough depression is to deal with and I'm hoping that you'll avoid falling back into it! Feel free to PM me anytime girlie! :hug::hug::hug::hug:

I tried a new dvd today (from the library) and really liked the segments I've done so far. It's Pilates broken down into 5 10min workouts, each targeting a different area/muscle group. I did the buns/thighs one and the arms/shoulders one. If the other segments are as good, I may buy this as a way to incorporate more strength into my workouts.

My minutes:
6/10: 40 min Wii Fit (strength and aerobics)
6/11: 20 min Pilates, 26 min WAH

I also lost another pound this morning (reached 162.4). Now I've gotta watch it this weekend as DH and I go on our overnight date we've been planning for a month to celebrate me being "Overweight" (rather than obese). I feel great about my progress this month so I REALLY don't want to undo any of it. I'm gonna just make careful choices and get plenty of exercise :dancer:...heehee.

Today is going to be a very busy day as my best friend is coming to town for the weekend, and we're having a cookout while she's here on Saturday. Fortunately, I get to leave work early today to try to get some house cleaning taken care of before I have to pick her up at the airport at 6:30.

I wasn't sure how my time would look this afternoon, so I decided to get my walking in this morning at the gym! I didn't do the weights because I figure there will be plenty of cleaning and I may try to get in Day 4 of Active.

I went for another 1.25 miles today, so I'm up to 7.5 for the month. And I'm happily back down to 277.5 (again, for the 3rd time this month) which is better than going over 280 again! Still hoping to see the 60s soon.

I think it's a fantastic idea to get the Active challenge in place for July, I am totally in!

Jacqui, I just checked in for the first time in a few days and read your post, and I want you to know you're in my thoughts and I'm wishing you the best with all you're struggling with! I have SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and I've struggled with depression as a result of it ever since high school, and though for the most part I'm in a good place now, I know that feeling of dreading a depression coming on, and how hard it can be to fight against it. If there's anything I can do, please let me know! I think you're great, and hope things will get better soon!! xoxo

I've been awfully busy, and the weather has been awfully, well, awful, but I've managed about 9 miles since I last checked in, so I've done 20.5 of the 40 miles I want to do in the next...6 days? So I'll have to step it up, but I'll give it my best shot.

From reading all your posts, it seems like everyone is working hard! I'm so impressed! Keep it up, ladies!
