  • I haven't been so good at keeping up with these threads!

    I did all my walks this week (3 hours), plus my volunteering added another 6 hours of walking. I'm also doing a 16 mile bike ride on Sunday. Next week I start doing some practice rides so I can eventually start riding to my volunteer job.

    You guys are doing great! Keep it up!

    Hahahaha! Oh my word! Denise Austin cracks me UP! I now remember why I stopped doing her videos! She's all over the place and doesn't give much warning when she's going to switch things up. Oh it was it was a hoot! I was a dancing disaster! Ahh, but it was fun and I did sweat--a tiny bit. Not sure if I'll give this one a go again, but I'm glad I did it.

  • Tummygirlllllllll, wtg! your almost at the finish line of non vaca days!!! : )

    :c heer: to all on a great first week.

    wtg on the walking darby, that's great! Thanks, you too! : )

    Sandye....Oh denise austin is my all time fav. butttttttt I didnt care for the new vids I ordered a while back....I absolutely still to this day love her old tapes...way old! (I got in fantastic shape with her vid called " the complete workout"). THat tape is an hour long and has a mix of low and high cardio plus calisthenics. THe fat burner was more low impact but the thing that annoyed me on tha tone is she would say " one more, just one more" and trick you!!!!!!!!!! lol

    A big hi to all of you....delphi, bigknitter, msp, NSM, and to all. I feel so sleepy so Im going to head to bed. I'm so happy I am sleeping well now. I think the walking and swimming is helping a lot.

    I really miss our lewis ....hope she is okay. hugs girls....catch you tomorrow.
