Oh no, the world is clearly spinning off its axis if there's no morning poster from Chesh!!!!

I tried to find something about being epic, but then I started laughing at this...

JEANETTEY CHALLENGE: PLANKING - PART II:




Have a great day!



P.S. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!

Good Morning

I like the idea of going against the BL show. I don't usually watch it, but I would follow it if we did that.

On the gym front, I've found a much cheaper place that seems to have most everything I want and a few things I didn't even know I wanted but now have decided I would like. It's a little farther from my home than the expensive place, but it's situated between home and work. So, coming or going, I could stop in. I'm going to visit the place before I lay out any money. But there are no contracts and the monthly fee is very, very reasonable.

Off to get some sleep now. Catch you on the weekend, if not before.

@Sarge - No? I was about to call my boyfriend to see if he is up for that challenge tonight ;-))
If we do a Black Ops vs BL I am in! I have never watched the show but I might start.

@Jeanettey - Btw, I used 6lbs (3lbs each hand). Sigh. A little fatigued today in every muscle. I probably will be sore tomorrow but hey, I EARNED that! ;-)

Have a good day everybody

Hi All! Just checking in. Got some great news. I have apparently inspired a couple of my new co-workers. They have noticed that I go to work out after hours in our office gym and have asked if they can join me every day! I now have two women who are going to suit up with me after work today and we're going to get some sort of circuit training going with the exercise machines! Just call me Sarge in Training Down there getting dirty doing PT with the troops

WTG Budget! Just make sure that gym is a friendly place...someplace you WANT to go every day!

Still no Chesh...

Sarge headed to gym but leaving you all this "affirmation," which my daughter sent me this morning... it's almost better than a motivation poster. YES, WE CAN DO ANYTHING! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR3rK0kZFkg

Budget - Glad you found a place that you like so far with a reasonable price! Good luck with the visit...I hope it works out for you!

K3 - That's so awesome!! It should be fun to work out with others and that will help keep you all more accountable and on track.

Sarge - Love the idea of following along with the Biggest Loser contestants on the show.

josey - Enjoy those reminders of your muscles growing stronger throughout the day. My shoulders are a bit sore this morning and when I was cringing while washing my hair in the shower I think I was also smiling.

I think I've convinced DH to do some boxing training with me. He's still a little hesitant about opening the flood gates and letting me take swings at him, but I think it could be really good for our relationship.

..Thank you for participating!

Morning. And how. I caught up on much needed missing sleep this morning in lieu of a run. I am going to say it was the better priority TODAY. I will try to have the electronic babysitter give me some treadmill time today. 6 days until children can not be used as an excuse!

Our gym is supposed to start boxing classes soon and I really hope they do. But they are under new management and the new guy tends to give things no time to catch on before cancelling them

Ennay - I hope your gym does start boxing classes! I started going to boxing bootcamp back in June and I so look forward to it every day even though it means I get up at 5:15 to get there! Boxing is a great workout and I'm totally in love with it.

Peanutt - YES! I'm trying to convince my husband to hang a boxing bag in the room where we keep all of our other gym equipment. He hasn't gone for it yet, but Christmas is coming

Sarge - I'm still waiting for you to stand on my thighs.

You guys really are a riot!!!

Don't know if anyone noticed in newbie Ennay's signature & avatar... "Boston Qualifier and Mom," and "...blame car accident ... and me for the rest," but from now on all running questions go to Ennay! To qualify for the Boston Marathon is HUGE!!!! And Ennay, talk to MadamB and a few others around here for similar tales of "fat from the aftermath" of accidents.

75 minutes to add to the spreadsheet so far...more later on!

Sarge...wait that really isnt a tear in my eye because I am hardcore...HARDCORE I TELL YOU. But thanks. Occasionally I need reminders that I have accomplished things and where I am now is not who I am.

MTA: What a terrific breakfast this morning. Cavelli squash, scallions, anahiem pepper, 3 colors of cherry tomatoes, sweet corn - all picked less than 24 hours ago. and chicken sausage for protein
