I need to start getting up early so I can do my Couch to 5K...it's impossible to do after work with my cardio and strengths I have to do and then tend to the kids. I need to get an alarm clock. I suck at getting up on time as it is. Anyway, I'm glad this is working out for you.

SBDSass, what is Couch to 5K? an exercise dvd or tape?

Husband baked chicken for dinner, and then I cut some up and made chicken salad out of it, it was good

Dam Holly you totally have a schedule all planned out, something that I need to do...

Caribean cruise sounds awesome I have been looking at cruises but I have always been awful on boats with motion sickness well not just boats I usually get sick on planes, in cars and yes I do get sick when on the motorcycle as well.

Sass you will look great in a binkini when your trip comes around, me on the other hand will probably not make binkini stage before my trip to cancun Feb 3rd.
Have a great night will check back tomorrow

Oh chicken salad sounds good, I haven't even started making supper just getting ready to see what I have available, usually chicken as well. But should get started because Biggest Loser starts in one hour and that is one of the few shows I watch weekly

You can find the program info and what it's all about here http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml. There is a challenge thread going on here for it too.

Good morning chicks! thanks for that link, SBDSass. Reda, oh wow, you're bothered by motion sickness on the bike? that sux!! Did the chopper/starting issue get fixed? sure hope so.

Well not to shock anyone but there is a little SNOW on the ground this morning. It won't last I know but its depressing for me!!!

I was reading on other threads here, and I found a challenge that I will enter, it's 100 pushups http://www.hundredpushups.com/ I am embarassed that I could only do 13 pushups in a row last night...during the summer, I was up to 21. But I'll work on it!

I'm patiently waiting for husband to leave for work, then I'll have the living room to myself and then I'll work out. Yesterday I did a Gilad 45 minute strength/toning; today I'll choose something that majors in cardio activity. Then off to my first day of the bleh winter job but in this economy, I'm telling myself I'm lucky to have a full-time job that lets me leave from May to October.

Have a good one!

A quick follow-up, I did my Keli Roberts step aerobics tape, and used hand weights along with it. a good 40 minutes

and just cooked my breakfast/lunch; sauteed onion, red bell pepper, coleslaw (dry, from the bag) broccoli, cooked chicken breast from yesterday, egg substitute. Half of it now, half of it for lunch (around 1:00 -ish) and I'll bring a container of plain unflavored lowfat yogurt for a afternoon snack. This is supposed to keep me away from the PILES of cookies that are under my nose from 3:00 to 6:00, when I am unsupervised

Hi Chicks!

Just a quick check-in! Just worked two 13-hr shifts, so am catching up today before another one tomorrow

Holly....you are SO organized, Chick! There's the secret to your success
Love the line about you being unsupervised with piles of cookies. OMG

Sass...we sailed the Caribbean Princess a couple of years ago and were along side the Glory in St. Thomas and St. Maarten. (Eastern Caribbean) She is a gorgeous ship. Here's a pic taken from our balcony. Have you cruised before? It's the ultimate vacation for total relaxation and lots of fun! What are you ports of call? I love Cozumel. Buy Jewelry!

Reda, we love Cancun.....those are some of the most beautiful beaches and water on the planet. We stayed at the Sun Palace years ago....great memories and a fantastic resort You'll have a wonderful time!!! Great shopping there too

Wish I could go with you guys!

good evening!

victory, at least for today, I didn't have a crumb of cookie

Yes Holly you are so in tune and organized, I need to get that way but nothing right now is organized in my life. Have a new C-store opening up in 3 weeks and things are just crazy right now.. That is great no cookies and not even a bite, that is control... You go girl! Pushups well I believe I could do like 10-12 a month ago but I bet that has gone down since I haven't exercised much over the last 6 weeks, of which I to need to get my butt in gear, I am thinking about ordering 3daymelt since it is getting to cold out to go for a walk/jog now.

Jill that looks like a really big ship and when I look out online at cruises they seem to look like ALOT of fun!!!! I just keep holding back.

Well I think the chopper needed a new battery and it fixed the problem, YEA But we also have some of that bad nasty weather today and thru tomorrow, but it is raining but when cools this evening we could see some of that white stuff as well.

We decided next week for halloween to take off for the weekend so we are heading to Deadwood, SD about 450 miles away, leaving Friday morning and right now there is 8 of us going so we should have a blast.

Hope everyone including myself can have an ON PLAN day tomorrow!!

Good morning chicks

Reda, that trip to Deadwood sounds great!! wishing you perfect weather for that next week.

does your family run C-stores? good luck with the new one!

If I can psych myself into it, I will layer up to ride to work today. I don't have to leave the house til about 10:20, so that gives me time to prepare. Sunny and a high of 45 today, each week I accept even lower riding temperatures Many customers at work yesterday, when they saw me, and then didn't see the bike parked out front, were wiseguys and said I was a wuss for not riding in the snow, lol!

oh, and all the snow that was on the ground did melt. HOwever the mountains are dusted white.

hello to everyone else. Have a great day!

Good Morning to all as well!!

I am the only one involved in C-Stores, I don't think the rest could handle the stress that comes with it being on call for 24/7 and we are open 352 days a year, 10 stores to be exact with a new one being built but once the new one is done the old building will be sold.

45 degree weather riding well been there, but also been in alot worse as well. As long as sun shining it usually seems alot warmer. Can't ride mine to work , I have to carry to much sh*t around with me for that.

Well have a great day and talk at ya later!

Well just thought I would check in tonight. Today did not go so well I wasn't on plan at all, I thought I needed to have Taco Bell of which I had 2 hard shell taco and reg. order of nachos. Darn it!!!!
Tomorrow is a new day and will hopefully be on plan all day
Oh ya and tomorrow is FRIDAY - YEAH!!!

Hey chicks

That was a small slip up reda, don't beat yourself up, mmm I hope it was good

well I think I had the shortest bout ever with a flu, like 12 hours I sat down at work yesterday at 1:30 pm with my lunch of chicken salad ( I didn't have breakfst, not trying to skip, just didn't feel like eating then) had a couple of bites...and then thought, hey, I don't feel so hot...my stomach felt uneasy, and I was just hurting all over. I thought the hurting was due to muscle soreness from my last workout..but it kept getting worse. I could barely stand up, and when you work retail, ya know, ya gotta stand.

I made it through closing, and drove home; and went straight to bed (at 7:00!) I was having a hard time with the smell of the supper my husband made, it was making my stomach very uneasy!! and I was COLD, and oh my gosh, it was like my very cells were hurting. Miserable!

I was able to sleep, but had weird, weird dreams, and did wake up pretty frequently. Was able to sleep in late, til 9:00 this morning, then carefully got up and had a cup of tea, and then hot shower, to get ready for work (no sick days)

And actually felt better as the day progressed. Strange!

We had alot of sun today, but as it still was 29 degrees in the shade mid-morning, and I was feeling kind of weak, I didn't ride to work. But after work, there was still some strong sun, and I did a quick ride to town to go to the bank. It felt great. The days are numbered!

have a great night, talk at you tomorrow

Hello everyone, going to make this quick Have a wedding to get ready for so don't have alot of time but wanted to jump on quick to check in. I have been fighting a sore throat and chest congestion this week but today I am feeling alittle better, have to anyways, there is going to be alot of partying tonight and don't want to have to come home to early...
