Hi There!

Sure sounds like everyone is doing great with their exercising. Sorry I haven't been around too much lately. My MIL is still here & I've started a cross stitch kit to help relax. Most of my free time has been spent doing that. I did my new tape yesterday. It's the Weight Loss Walk which is 4miles long (60min). Let me tell you I got winded. I had to stop a couple of times to catch my breath. It was a great workout. Today I am resting. I have been going to be late and today I woke up at 6:30a so I am dealing with a mild headache right now. Today was weigh in & I maintained. I am fine with that. It's TOM for me & I was feeling bloated today so I figure that contributed to the maintain. That's ok, next week should be better

Hope you all have a great night ....I am going to try to get to sleep a little earlier today & get some rest...

See ya!

Happy Friday to everyone!

I am so happy its Friday that I feel like jumping up and down. How many exercise points would that be? :lol

Sorry I haven't posted much. I have had a busy week and have not felt well due to TOM. Only exercised in on Monday and Tuesday. But we will be back in the gym Saturday and Sunday.

I have to get to work. I will check in later today. The boss is out of town today!! Yippy

Hi from a rainy, wet, cold Colorado Springs. It is yucky weather out today. We did go to the gym this morning. No cardio today we will do that tomorrow. What we did do was upper body on the weight machines. Wow what a differance. We have decided to switch every other week between upper body free weights and the weight machines. I think this will really shake things up.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I will check in thoughout the day.

Hi everyone! Great day here today! Went for a 6 mile walk today and it felt good! Hope I burned lots of calories. I have really been careful with the points since I haven't been walking. Had appointments Thursday & Friday, so I guess it was good days for the rain to come. We have had rain for about 4 days, but we really did need it.....it can STOP now! I have got to get back to the gym next week. I really miss but it seems like I have had a lot of other things to do and I just keep putting it off. Hang in there everyone and have a good weekend.

Hi!

We went to the gym this morning. Did very well on the elliptical today and increased weights too! Have to work on my kicks and punches before the next TKO class on Wednesday...

My sweetie is FINALLY done with his midnight shift, and moves to daylight. YIPPEE!! We are going to try to re-work our workout schedules so we can keep working out together. That means we will have to go after work. I don't know if that will work for me, as I am getting used to mornings and getting it over with! Anybody have a favorite time of day to exercise??

Judy: Way to go on your walking! I'm tired just thinking about walking 6 miles!!

Deb: Glad you and your MIL and having fun!

Anne: I'm gonna try to send some sunshine your way! You deserve to enjoy some nice weather!

Girlie: Where are you?? I'm sure you are somewhere having fun! Come post when you can!

Everyone else...enjoy your Saturday!!!

Good Morning!!!

Hi Everyone! Boy I have been kind of slack posting here. It's just been so hard with MIL being here. Every weekend we've been out on power shopping trips so she can get stuff she needs. I have to tell you yesterday I thought I was going to pass out. We were out from 10a-7:30p. I walked 10 miles!!! I was so incredibly exhausted I couldn't stand myself. I have slacked off on doing my tapes because I have been so tired after these past weekends. I have to get back into the swing of it. I weighed myself just to see where I am. I showed a 1 lb loss since Thursday (my weigh in day). I am so happy with that. Hopefully weigh in will show the same loss if not a little more. I was kind of proud of myself yesterday for keeping within my points. I had my breakfast at home (7pts) then we ate lunch at Burger King (11pts). When we got home I was starving so I had a lite hot dog on a slice of light bread w/saurkraut (2.5pts) and I had a ff jello pudding with 2 tbsp lite cool whip (2pts) and still managed to save 0.5pt. With the day I had I could have easily gone nuts with the snacking but I kept it under control. Thank goodness!!!

womaninlove-- I'm sure you are thrilled your sweetie is not going to be working nights. That is rough when they work at night. It will be nice to be able to workout together. It's good motivation.... You are doing really good with your exercising. How do you like the TKO class???

Anne & Judy-- you are both doing great Anne I wish I could send you some sunshine but it is so gray out here today..YUCK! We had several days of cloudy skies & here we go again. Keep up the great work!!

Emmy and Girlie, where are you??? Update when you can...

Well, gotta go get some laundry going. Talk to you all later..

see ya!

Hi all, Got my 6 mile walk in again today Hope it shows on the scales on Tuesday! It is such a gorgeous day here today....temp just right for walking. (I hate to sweat) Debbie You have been a busy little beaver...hope the MIL appreciates this...another good thing for a quick pick me up when you are starving is a can of V8 juice...it takes the edge off before you clean out the frig and it is also consider a veggie! Sometimes I drink a can before I go out for dinner...helps me from cleaning out the bread basket. You are doing great..keep up the good work. WomanInLove Hubby working the day shift probably will leave time for lots of things Is that counted as exercise? Just kidding you...You could do a 6 mile walk....you just have to build up to it....and you are young...surely you can keep up with this old woman Keep up the good work with the gym...I must get back there this week or I will be weak Sorry Anne can't send you any sun..it is going to rain here again tomorrow so we must take advantage of the beautiful weather today. So hard to be motivated when the weather is crappy! I do much better with sunshine. Have a great day everyone

Hello, All!

What a nice Sunday afternoon! Weekends are always the hardest on me as far as pts go...I went about 4 over last night but I'm okay for right now...but I only have about 5pts left and its not even 5pm! BUT my excuse is that I have been pretty active, but don't normally give myself activity pts. Yesterday we were supposed to go to the trails to ride, but everytime BF says we will, he never gets up!!! So, I went ALONE this morning and yesterday morning to the track to walk and job.

Debbie and Judy I'm trying to be more like you guys and get my walk on! Walking outside on the track is really nice and peaceful, plus I get to work on my tan...hee hee...I do get pretty dark though, and I want to be more active outside this summer. I felt too "fat" last summer to go out and do anything!!!

Oopsie..knock on the door...I'll be back!

Okay its May 20th and it is snowing here. What is up with this? Hubby and I moved some of the flower pots to cover for the night. I am really worried about our vegetables a the community garden. They are in Walls of Water. Hope it works.

[JudyK]

So sorry Anne for the snow.....I agree, what is with this weather....although it is quite nice here for May...we are finally getting rain which is much needed....but it can STOP now...but we always expect this when it is time for the Indy 500 Hopefully that snow won't last...sure does mess up any outside exercise....good luck! ~Girlie~ I also don't take activity points...I think that just defeats the purpose...good for you to move on to exercise without the BF.....I also think we need a new thread now...this one is getting long....later all

Just bringing this on top!
