Happy St. Paddy's Day!

I rode to work today..... boy was it a challenge. It was soooo foggy. Our weather person is never right so I took Jake out for a walk and it was not bad where I live, but I work 17 miles away and about 5 miles into a trip it was so foggy I could not see. So, I thought about it, pulled over at a covenience station and waited for an old lady to leave. I sandwiched myself in between 2 old ladies and I was fine. :lol::smug::lol:

I am going to try to get the tracker done today.

My dog Jake (who we rescued from the Memphis pound on his last day to live), is FAT so I have been walking him when it is warm enough.... he and I had a mutual agreement, he drug me during the first half of the walk and I drug him the last..... but today I turned the tables on him. ARE YOU READY FOR THIS....... I JOGGED 1/2 MILE :cp::dance::dancer: (can you tell I am excited?). I stopped once, but I made it without dying or having to call 911 through it. Me.... the fat girl made it. I have wanted to run/jog for some time now and never did b/c I thought I was still too heavy! I am sooo proud.

I am going to change my avitar when I get under 200 pounds and have won the bet to a pic of me on my bike.


Have a good day..... don't 4get to wear green!

Tammy

Tammy - WTG on jogging 1/2 mile!!! I think the last time I tried jogging, I thought my insides were gonna fall out :rofl:

and LOVED that you used two old ladies for protection :rofl: :rofl: That's putting cagers to good use! LOL!

I hope you also get to ride today CChick, I WANT to but now the mud has softened and it is w-a-y too thick for me to try to get my bike out of the garage :( I will have to be patient. I'll work outside picking up some of the winter mess and get my sun that way :cool:

Sorry you cannot ride Holly. Your time will come. :hug:

I figured for once I would use the "Q-tips" for good. lol. I mean that with the utmost respect.

Tammy

Still no ticker. I get all the way through it and it does not "save". Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? (Dang Arkansas Hillbilly stigma).

Tammy

Are you pasteing the code into you signature and saving? maybe try ticker.com instead of the 3fc one? I dont know

I think I got it...... I had someone younger than me do it!

good morning chicks, congrats on your ticker Tammy! :carrot:

this morning I did Day 2 of Level 1 of 30 Day Shred. Then I did Keli Roberts step aerobics. I have been doing at least 40 minutes of exercise consistantly for months, so I am a scairdy-cat of dropping my daily workout to just 20 minutes :o And I have to made a concerned effort to count calories. I have been guestimating forever. And I haven't been losing. So I need to face reality and see how many calories are going into me.

I really HAD to buy some jeans, ya know how the fabric just gets sooo worn they don't feel good even when freshly washed... I am sometimes lucky to score at the second hand shops for jeans but haven't been able to lately. I am a little bummed at not fitting into smaller sizes, and then I was beating myself up about that because I thought the new vanity sizing was supposed to make you feel good :devil: but I got a pair of lei junior's 13, and a pair of Walmart's faded glory size 10.

Oh, it looks to be a go-ahead on my work closing for boss' vacation, so YES that makes my countdown there shorter! yay! I think my last day will be April 15th instead of the 30th :carrot: I MUST take good advantage of that time off and do some things around here, inside and out...I hope I can count on you chicks to kick my butt and keep me productive :D

have a great day :hug:

How about we 50/50 kick your butt...... you have to have some down time a little.

I hate jean sizing..... and let me assure you--- as big as I am (built like an Amazon woman) I hardly ever score good jeans or any jeans at the second hand shops).

I rode to work today too. It was still a bit foggy, but no where near as bad as yesterday.

Thank you all for your prayers for Zeke, my son. (Knock on wood). He seems to be doing better. We are going to go to a different church about 30 miles away on Wednesdays b/c my friend's son is the youth pastor. Also, he is going to be able to go to church camp with them..... so I am hoping that this will help him get away from the negative influences he is with in our town. He is a follower...... I just need to help him find a better group to follow.

Have a great day ladies.

Good Morning Ladies.... I did't get to ride yesterday, so I was a little bummed??? Anyways it is suppose to start cooling down again but at least I know spring is coming and riding season shortly....

Holly I did get Day 1 of 30 DS in and today plan on doing Day 2 actually here shortly, I will probably be home late from work so going to get it done this morning instead... I also am actively counting my calories even writing them down so that I know for sure, I just have to start making myself accountable.. :) Wow you are getting some time off you will probably get alot of cleaning and exercising done. But like Tammy said take some downtime to and try to have a little fun.:)

Tammy nice looking ticker you have going....
Oh great job on the jogging, I try jogging but the girlies don't like it much even with sports bra on, they just want to go all over the place when jogging :) Having them is not always what it is cracked up to be.

I hate shopping for jeans as well, I don't know why I just never want to shop for them especially now since I am not losing any weight what so ever....

Mandy are you getting to ride at all yet?

Well off to get my Day 2 done, talk to you later

I have been riding on and off all winter, the joys of Florida weather...lol i don't think I have ridden since the first Saturday of Bike week. I'm probably going on group ride this weekend. I am a stay at home wife and mom, so being home with my little boy, limits my riding time.

I have a really bad cold right now, but still got in some work out time with a couple friends last night.

Oh ya I totally forgot and if I would look closer it is right there in front of me that you are from FL. Just looked at your progress pics and u are looking good girl...

Isn't it nice to be able to stay home with the kids, I was lucky that way to, I got to stay home with the boys until they went to kindergarten, then job hunting I went, I do not do well staying home but it was all worth to spend that quality time with my kids. I always tell those just starting a family if you can stay home do it.

Well hope you get to feeling better real soon....

Tonight we have our by-laws meeting for our Eagle Riders Group that we just started here in Vermillion. Guess who got elected President at the last meeting - ME - I am excited though

I did get my Day 2 Shred done this morning my arms are a little sore but not to bad, getting ready to go for a walk when I get off here, it is 50 degree outside today so nice weather to walk in. :)

Talk to you later

Chopper Chick, I don't have an issue with the girls moving :( I think that is going to my 1 year maintanence gift to myself. I am not sure I want implants.... but I want mine to be put where they should be. My gift for losing the weight is hopefully gonna be Lasik! I hate riding with contacts.

Mandy, you are very fortunate to be able to stay home. I hope you get better. I sure do hate having a cold when it is pretty, but like you said..... you live in FL and probably get more sun than we do. I saw your update pics too and you look great. Way to go.

I am getting sleepy...... gosh I hope to sleep through the night tonight.

I got to ride today it was soooo pretty out, but once again we have a cold front coming through. It was 75 today...... tomorrow is going to be 40..... dang I hate that.

Have a good night.

Tammy

Mandy - sorry about your cold!...and ....Oh my, what great progress pics and BIG congratulations, you look damn good right now at where you are!!! and how old are you, like 19? :D I guess I could't really 'see' you in your avatar, you are soooo pretty and I admire your body shape, you've got great curves and nice arms and legs, damn girl you've got it goin :devil:

allright I'll stop sounding like I'm trying to pick you up :rofl:

OMG!! I still feel like crap but i am laughing so hard :rofl:

thanks :)

OH Holly we know you really are???? :) You are just to funny

Tammy yes once my weight is where I want it to be and maintaining I will have a reduction, something I should have done years ago.
I have lots of friends that have had Lasik and they all love it and are just happy they did it. :)

Well today I will have to do Day 3 after work again but that is ok my arms well not my arms more like my peck area is still sore, I know it is from doing push ups and doing them correctly.....

Well girls off to work, talk to you later
