good evening, hope you have a great time at the wedding reda!

I got to ride to work, it was in low 40's but no sun; still felt great. And on the way home, only started to get pelted by cold rain just two miles from home; then got NAILED by a wet leaf on the cheek (FACE cheek ) at 50 mph, that stings!

my tummy still feels kinda not quite right; I was able to exercise fine this morning; but after I eat something, my stomach hurts a little. I guess this is a good way not to overeat

have a great Saturday night everyone

Good Morning well I guess it is afternoon now....

Wedding went great the night was awesome and everyone had a GOOD TIME!!!!!! Went through way to much money but it was all good.

Well today so far is very cold with 50+ winds and about an hour ago we had a big branch fall on the house and take out a corner you can see sunlight in the room upstairs, so we will have to call insurance company tomorrow and get it all fixed back up, just thinking that was a big, big branch so hopefully none of the trees decide to come down but the wind is very strong today

Well I suppose I need to get going we have to figure out what and how to get it covered and keep it covered through this wind...

Well hope everyone elses day is going better

reda, oh my gosh!!! what a shock and scary thing to happen, and what a pain in the butt to deal with!! so sorry to hear that. Hope the insurance co. takes care of it pronto!

I am very happy I was able to ride to work today, I value every minute on the bike now, at this part of the year.

Good Monday morning Might ride to work today, probably should...because a 'coastal system' might bring some accumulated white stuff Tuesday and Wednesday.

Well no snow here this week once we get past wind and cold today we are warming back up to mid 50's for the rest of the week! Yeah
Pretty sure I will be out riding myself this week, super excited because as you said before very numbered days now!

Hope everyone has a great Monday

Wow, reda - what a drag about the tree falling on the house....hopefully dealing with the fix is as painfree as possible.

Holly - I've been lurking too long, I never even commented at how great you look in your pics!! Not offended by the pole dance shot, by the looks of some of the other pics on the site you are practically a girl scout.

Got a half day off today, I have a bunch of days left this year I have to use or lose. Yeah, it's ruff. I'm thinking I'll ride my bike to the gym, no extra time wasted on warm up. It's a gorgeous day over here...like 80. It's gonna start getting dark early tho, then I won't be so into riding.

Eventually I'll get my scoot fixed.

Hey Gina thanks for the comfort but I think I will leave the fixing up to dear hubby!!!! I will just have to pay for it.

Wow sounds like you have all the good weather your way keep enjoying it. Do some fun stuff with your vacation hours that you have like riding your bike, you seem to really enjoy that. Way to go on sticking with your exercise as well, i really need to get my butt in gear and soon.... We are getting dark about 6pm now and it really does suck big time.

Well hope everyone else's Monday went well. Talk at you later

Hi Gina!!! thanks for the comp (and there are wilder pics of me I admit, I of course chose a tame one for here)

80 degrees!! enjoy!!! how smart to ride a bike to the gym, got your warmup covered. Have fun using up those vacay days!

hi reda

I'll let you know tomorrow night how much SN*W we get All I can say is that I have to get the snow shovels ready!! but then it shows mid-fiftees for Friday, I would LOVE to be able to ride to work on Halloween, and to ride around town in a costume afterwards!

have a good day, do some exercise, eat wisely

Good Morning All.

Holly just watching the weather and caught that the rain and snow are coming your way but like you said it is suppose to warm back up by end of the week

Today is the day that I will start exercising again and be more consious about what I am eating and not just everything ....

Have a Great Day!

Well Good Evening All!!!

I started my exercise routine today- YA-
I am doing the C5K challenge and today was day 1 of which went very well and with that on my off days I will do Jillians 30 Day Shred! While on my weekend getaway this weekend I will still get up and walk in the mornings while everyone else is sleeping that way I don't get lazy again.....

good morning chicks!

yay for reba! but can you tell me what the C5K is? big duh to me.

I got up earlier than usual because of 1. dealing with the snow (aaaaakkkkk) and also, having to call the bank about something...one of our credit card accounts, which is on auto pay from our checking account, said that they tried to withdraw the usual amount this month and said our bank account was closed! so they socked up with $70 in fees, but what's worse, upped our apr to 28.99%!!! and you KNOW that other accounts will pick that up and do the same!! So I have to go to the bank and see who's error it really is...if it's a bank error, have them admit it, and fax a statement to the credit card company, and the fees will be taken off and the APR lowered back down..but then I have to deal if other credit co's. did the same...argh.

sorry for the venting. It had me lay awake for a while last night, and then was the first thing on my mind this morning (besides the snow!)

My bike is still outside, under the awning, but I covered her with a blankie (actually her DryRider cover ) yesterday. She will be out again, if not this month, then November!! (famous last words)

talk at you later

Morning Holly and the rest of you gals! Sorry I've been MIA, but I've taken on a few new projects. I'm in that Thanksgiving Challenge and we got a Biggest Loser competition going on here at work. I'm on team "Chubby Chicas"...ha!

Also Holly, that wet leaf that smacked you in the face reminded me of John Travolta getting smacked with the bird in the movie Wild Hogs. OMG I laugh so hard. I even laugh when I think about it. Hularious. I'm sure your wet leaf was no laughing matter though.

And it must be a full moon because my bank has screwed me up last week too. I got it all fixed, but it was a very unusual problem. Glad you got all squared away.

I wanted to ask you something. How does one get a tummy like yours? I'm asking 'cuz I need one too.

Goooood Morning!

Today is suppose to be our nice day of the week 60 degrees so I will be able to get my bike out and ride today

Holly OMG I hope you can get that bank issue figured out for sure because yes if one credit card goes up the rest will follow sooner or later. That is the only thing about online payments you do still have to check them monthly to make sure everything is going well. I have all my stuff on auto pays it is so much easier, I only have to write one check a month and that is for our electric bill- Anyways banks don't really like to admit if they were wrong either so hopefully your bank will if it was them after all...

Sass I see you are in the Thanksgiving Challenge, I to joined becaused I misssed the BL challenge this time, I am also doing the C5K challenge
Of which Holly the C5K is Couch to 5K it is an exercise challenge that will have you jogging 3 miles in 8 weeks but working up to it slowing so that you don't get frustrated right off the back. I will find the link and post it for you to check out.

Oh and Sass wild hogs makes me laugh to and just you saying that has me giggling...

Talk to you later

How are you doing with the Thanksgiving Challenge so far? Check out my ticker and you shall see mine...I guess it's going well for me but it could have been better hand I not ate that oatmeal cookie. Weigh in is tomorrow.

Hi Chicks!

Just a quick check-in to read what ya'll are up to! Sounds like all is well!

Good for you with the Cookie Victory, Holly.....and glad your flu symptoms were short. I'm getting my flu shot at work on Friday....a first for me....but working around sick people now I figure I should get one. The hospital's really good about us getting free immunizations.

Trip to Deadwood sounds like loads of fun, Reda! You guys riding or driving??

Sad news for us....a close friend was killed on his bike last week....and his wife was following behind him on their way to the shop for an oil change. She saw the old geezer t-bone him...and he died at the scene. I'm soooooo sad for her, they were one of those amazing couples that spent 24/7 together.

Cooooool here today.....high of 62 which is incredibly chilly for October. We usually get temps like that in Jan and Feb.

More in a couple of days....working Thursday and Friday, then off for the weekend.
