NSM, it is HOT here too!! Thank goodness for the YMCA's air conditioning, lol!

Delphi, I wondered about your change in pics so often! I figured it was just a natural "woman" thing, you know like changing clothes or changing purses, lol! Now, that I know the criteria, I understand, because you drop lbs left and right! And your pics are all so pretty, so keep 'em coming! :)

June 1--60 min on recumbent bike

Hi girls! I am gonna make this quick....I think I have/am getting a cold so my workout today is a little puny. I walked around walmart for 1 mile, and now I am headed to bed with my little bottle of nyquil! I hope everyone has a great night.

Congrats to all those who got in those "hot" walks today. I got in NO excersize today...other than shopping. I was sooo tired this morning that i skipped kickboxing today. Then, i was so busy out getting ready for my dd's 18th bday, that i didn't get to go to the gym this afternoon either. Then... we took her out to eat at an all you can eat chinese restraunt and i ate WAY too much. And to top it all off...we came home and had ice cream cake.

But...tomorrow is a new day and i will be excersizing HARD!!!! I WILL work off all this food before it attaches to my waistline.

Well, after my test I was off to the gym. It was extremely busy. I don't think I will go at that time again, if I can avoid it.

I ran 2 miles today, and wow, did they feel loooong. I also played some tennis and did some push-ups, sit-ups etc. All in all, a good day. 7.2 out of the 40 miles I want to put in before I go to Alaska.

Jacqui, I took my new avatar with the camera that's on my computer, so I can't really claim any credit for it...it's also nearly a year old, but my old avatar picture was nearly 4 years old...clearly, change is something I do slowly ; )

Lewisempire, I hope you feel better soon!

Great job everyone! Keep up the good work.

Got the husband to the gym today! We went to the location closer to our house, and I just did NOT like being there! The one I've been going to the last 2 weeks is brand new, much more open and has fewer people.

I only did half a mile on the treadmill today because DH couldn't hold out longer. I think if I can get him back in the gym Thursday (he agreed to go to the new location), I can finish my mile for the week and get the 5th in this weekend.

I still got in my weight in. I wouldn't let DH give up before I was done with the machines that I wanted to do. I skipped one, but I did a different arm thing that I hadn't done before. Yay me!

Looking good ladies!

glutio ~ Way to go on getting the hubby to the gym. Hopefully, both of you can push each other and do this together.
