Wow you are all doing wonderful!! I am planning 4 miles and an hour of weight training I've bumped my exercise up a bit from last month and feeling pretty good!

Jack - You are so active!! I would be but I don't have the time with 2 small children but 2 hours a day is better than nothing at all! My dh and I are buying a cross bow platinum trainer in august I'm gonna get some wonderful workouts!! I can't wait!!

I'll be back later to post my mileage.
Take care
Michelle

Hi everyone, I'm hoping I can jump in even though we are 11 days into the month but I've been going steady for a couple of months and the weight loss has been minimal and I get bummed and want to quit. I'm hoping checking in here will keep me motivated since I'm not losing. Actually, if I miss more than 2 days I really do miss the exercise and that's something I thought I'd never say. I've got about 29.5 miles in this month. A combination of the WATP 3ml
and the :tread: and walks on the trails after work. I have also been to the gym to do the weight machines (similar to curves without the walking in between) about 4 times this month. It would be more, but when the weather is nice we like to walk the trails. Since I've already done almost 30 this month I will set my goal at 75. I forgot to add this mornings 3mile so actually 32.5
It sounds like so much for a person who's not losing. I eat too much at night and take alot of meds that interfere. But I figure it's beneficial no matter what. I read back to the beginning of the thread and everyone is doing so well. Well, I look forward to more posts. Learn something new all the time.
ttyl :D

Hey donna welcome to the group!! Looks like you are doing good!

Well girls, and Jack ;) I did 4 miles today and I have an hour of resistance training scheduled. Hope you are all well!!
Keep up the good work!
Michelle

Last time I posted I said I would be out of town for the weekend. Well, we left on Thur. afternoon and got back late Fri. night -- my son broke out in chicken pox :( and we had to end the weekend rather abruptly.

So looks like I'll be able to watp between oatmeal baths and covering him in calamine lotion.

Have a good weekend all! :)

Vickie - Sorry to hear your weekend got cut short but on the good side you'll be able to walk lol ;) Poor guy. How old is he? I don't have any clue what age to expect my girls getting chicken pox lol.

Have a good night!
Michelle

If you run out of calamine lotion. Baking soda paste works wonders to stop the itch.

Wow, it's HOPPING in here!!

Thanks for the supportive words, Lucia. :) And congratulations on the exercise! Yard work counts! It really works muscles we don't normally use. :yes:

Michelle... a cross-bow trainer! How cool! :smoking:

Welcome, Donna! (I think I know you... you sound familiar. South Beach? Alternachicks? :) )

Vicki, I hope your little love is feeling better soon. :( Oatmeal baths are GREAT! :yes:
Both of our children had what looked like chicken pox when they were young (at different times), but they had it very mildly and for only about 2 or 3 days. I have no idea if that's what they really had, but I HOPE so!

Cathy and Jack, keep it up, you exercise fiends, you!! :hat:

Oh. I forgot about me... I did about 4 miles yesterday. :)

Thanks for the well wishes everyone.
My son is 10 yrs. old so at least he's old enough to understand not to scratch. He's had an oatmeal bath and is covered in calamine lotion and just took some benadryl -- he should be sound asleep soon.

We were planning on getting the chicken pox immunization in the next couple of weeks -- oh well! ;)

Michelle -- congratulations on becoming a moderator. You'll do a great job -- I'm sure.

Good day all!

Thanks so much Vickie!!!

Aww the poor darlin must just be dying for a good back scratch ;) that benedryl will knock anyone out lol I get benedryl and imitrex IV drips when I get a migraine and they just knock me on my butt lol. Well I guess you need not be bothered with the immunization now lol.

Have a great day :)
Michelle

I cleaned house for 6 hours today, so no WATP, it is all I can do to stay on my feet for that long. Hopefully I will get in a walk tomorrow.

Michelle - CONGRATS on Moderator! that's awesome!

LOL Jack! if moving my tv counted as weights I would move that thing every day! LOL that would be so much easier then 2 sets of 15s or 3 sets of 10s LOL

Jack do you ever take a day off from exercise or do you exercise every day?

good morning guy and gals :coffee:

Have a banger of a headache. Was up until 3am. when dh is away I don't sleep well. The headache started then and I woke up with it. Only did 1 mile
on the :tread: I'd much rather do WATP, because I hate the tread, but knew I wouldn't be able to today. 1mile is better than none. If I feel better later maybe I try something else

Vicky, Hope the little guy feels more comfortable soon. Yrs ago when my oldest was 9 he got them and like clock work, 2wks later the 5 yr old and 2 wks later the 4 yr old. The pox get worse with each case and the little one looked horrible. In his ears, mouth...everywhere. Poor kid was miserable.

Michelle, Congrats :cp:

Ellis, Yeah, I'm hooked on Scotch and Humor.

Cathy, If I ever did 6 hrs of cleaning in my house(which is not well maintained, I hate cleaning) I'd probably find Jimmy Hoffa. :lol:

Jack, I've got a lot to lose and I'm afraid to work with weights. But I think its great what it's done for you. Maybe some day. When I was younger and thinner I tried a trial membership at a gym and loved lifting, but that was only 10 days and a lot of yrs and POUNDS ago.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. ttyl :D
