HAWT-est Biker Chicks (a.k.a. Chicks on Motorcycles)
 

Hello! We are a group of chicks who love our bikes...and scooters! We are a diverse group from one coast to another, with two things in common...we are working on getting smaller and fitter; and we love our knees in the breeze


Hope its ok i went ahead and started a new thread for us :)

The last post from previous thread...

Thanks Mandy..... How have you been?

Thats great Mandy, thanks

THank you Mandy! DUH to me, I went and started one before I saw this...and I can't see how to delete it! grrr. Well we will just ignore that one :D

CChick, crossed fingers :crossed: for DH to get that job!

good morning chicks, maybe I can ride to work today... :)

had strange dreams last night, I think it was because our Eddie the dog was sprawled across the bottom of the bed and would NOT MOVE.

haven't worked out yet but i'll post back after I do.

CC, I sure do hope that DH gets the job, that would be great. Btw, you know as well as I do that "younger" people (for the most part) don't have good work ethics than someone in their late 30s and older. So, don't let that keep you worried.

Holly, sorry Eddie invaded your space. If Jake got in the bed with DH and myself we would have to get another king size bed..... that dog is just as big as a human (if not bigger) when he sprawls!

I RAN a solid 3/4 of a mile before boot camp (I walked 3/4 also). I was sooo proud, and soooo tired when I was done with boot camp. I sure hope it pays off. I weigh at WW today (I weigh on my lunch and then go to the meeting in the evening b/c it gets me out of the office- and I have a lighter weight lol). I am hoping that I am out of this set of numbers! It would be GREAT to see the 190s gone! I have been in them since APRIL!

Shock, shock..... it is raining here again. Supposed to rain all freaking week. What gives?

I will post more later. I need to get some work done while it is quiet in the office.

Good Luck at WI Tammy you are bound to be out of the 190's :) no problem

No pets here to talk about - we are to busy and just don't have time to train them correctly

Heres to you getting to ride today Holly

Hello Mandy

I just happen to be on the the mod posted to start a new thread, although we are pretty good at figuring that out on our own...lol

Been doing ok here. Everything in my town is still focused on the murder of the little girl. Our local news website is www.firstcoastnews.com and www.news4jax.com if anyone is interested. John Walsh talked about the case on Good Morning America this morning, his interview is on their website. It just seems so unreal. There is going to be a Poker Run to help raise money for the family.

WTG Tammy, you are like WonderWoman, running before boot camp!! I could not run 3/4 mile without slowing down...woohoo to you! you must feel so strong afterwards (well, once you recover :dizzy: )

Hi CChick, when do you leave for Vegas?

Hi Mandy :wave:

this morning, for a change, I did Gilad's 45 min. Strength tape, its no cardio at all, just strength.

Oh jeez, I managed to get the Old Lady co-worker mad at me yesterday, and I wasn't even trying! :devil: She did one of her lame "do you want me to do this for you , to help you?" which consisted of dumping one cup of leftover soup from an insert into a paper cup :rolleyes: I said "Sure. Hey, while you're at it, why don't you wash out the insert too?" because she usually puts the insert bin into the sink (for me to wash) but doesn't even run any water in it to soak. So it gets all crusty.

She gets all huffy and says, in this STUPID little girl voice, "I was just trying to be nice". I said, "Lighten up, I was kidding." And she huffs off :devil:

It is pretty overcast right now but at least it's almost 42 degrees, I can handle the 40's for a ride :)

have a great day chicks!

No such luck getting out of the 190s..... :( I weighed in at 191

I bet you'll weigh less tomorrow morning, it's all about timing :hug:

Hey Tammy that is still awesome you have been working your butt off :) Like Holly said tomorrow morning you will be down probably 3 pounds or something it is timing ......

Holly great job keeping your cool and trying to kid around but she won't take it that way because she knows what and how she is acting

Mandy I did get to watch GMA this morning and just can't believe it- and to not have any leads yet or at least as of this morning. That is great that you guys got together and already have a poker run set up to help the family out :) My thoughts and prayers still go out and hope they find the sick person that has done this terrible thing

Well guys leave for Vegas on Friday - YAY - I think I am dressing up like an Egg for halloween but not sure yet, oh ya today I did find some wedge hills to wear this weekend and they are comfty as well :) I will have to pack tomorrow night after we get back from DH test- I will wait outside for him but we are going to go out to eat while we are there since it is about 30 miles away and have way more choices to choose from

I am just now watching Biggest Loser good thing for DVR's anyways just listening to Abby tell about her husband and children not making it through the car crash, wow I could not imagine bringing tears to my eyes seriously gotta go

Wow I just watched GMA and they have a teenage girl in custody, actually the sister to the boy that lead the police to where they found the little girl :( This is awful so Mandy my heart goes out to your town this is
going to divide the town if it is true and what the family is going to have to go through now, just awful

Well it is Wednesday WHOO-HOOO only one more full day of work after today then off we go yay

Have a great day everyone

Good morning chicks, it is a gray day here and I didn't ride yesterday (still too cold for me) but maybe tomorrow.

Yay CChick, Vegas is so close!

Hi Tammy and Mandy :wave:

I have off and need to clean this mess (and DH has been home since October 6, 'housework', what is that word :devil:) and I want to drive to the Goodwill Store in Williston (about 50 miles from here) because I need shirts for work, they get so stained and yucky so I need bunches of cheap tops to wear all winter.

Yesterday a regular customer asked if I knew anyone who would 'waitress for her'. She actually meant at her home, where she's having a party and needs 'just an extra pair of hands'. I said, how about me :D So I gave her my number and she will call me soon, it's for Sat. the 7th. How much should I ask for, any ideas?

Haven't worked out yet but will post back when I do.

Holly, you are such a saint when it comes to working with that woman! I don't know that I would hold my tongue well. I am not sure how much you should ask for in the waitressing thing at the party...... but it maybe a great place for you to pick up a few extra gigs...... and "get yourself out there". It sounds like you have excellent people skills..... and if this lady is an entertainer then her friends are likely to be entertainers as well. The holidays are coming.....this may work out well for you! I will say a lil prayer that it does ;)!

Mandy, it is soooo gut wrenching to see that little girl's story. And, it is awesome of you all to step up and do a poker run for her family.

CC, I love the egg idea! That is funny! :D Girl, I hope you have a blast in Vegas.

Thanks for the scales encouragment. I have to weigh in at BC on Friday.... so I am hoping to be down by then. We will see.

I have to get busy....... oh, wait..... this is an amusing story. I just saw it on GMA this AM. Did anyone see the story on the chimps? I did not catch where it was, but a chimp died of heart failure (somewhere in captivity). The humans were going to bury her and they looked up at the fenced area and the other chimps had stopped what they were doing. It was just like a funeral. The humans said that it was obvious they were grieving their lost companion. Isn't that touching? Anyway, i thought it was a neat story.

Took a walk with DH and DE (That's Dear Eddie, lol) I used ankle weights to add oomph because we don't seem to walk that fast (for me) and I wanted it to count. Didn't break a sweat but I thought it was important to participate with DH on his now daily walk (yay!)

Tammy, I hadn't even thought of one gig turning into others - you are a great thinker!

that is sad about the chimps. I'm sure they were grieving.

Gonna get ready to make the trek to Goodwill (it really does seem like a trek, 100 miles round trip :dizzy: ) So going to look for simple tops for work; a pair or two of black slacks to rotate for work instead of jeans; more jeans if possible;& a winter coat (I'd like a classic pea coat, in black; and something like a ski jacket for when it's actively snowing)

I should really do a more intensive workout later today, maybe I will :strong:

changed my ticker because I weighed at 153 this morning. TOM maybe contributing, maybe the bites/licks/nibbles lately.

here is a FUNNY pic from Chillicothe rally, I had bought at a thrift shop a rather large bra, I forget the size, something like a 44 G?? and drew some logos on it, and brought it. You can see the cups were big enough for a head each :D to fit! (I had a white tank top on)

Holly,
The owner of the boot camp says on average ankle weights add 160 calories burned to every 1/2 hour of moderate use.... maybe that will help with the walk.

Have fun at the Goodwill. Hope you hit a lucky streak there.

Btw, WOW..... you are tiny and look at those arms! Girllllllll you got it going on!

Hey, thanks for the info on the ankle weights, Tammy! ;) so I at least burned 160 calories with that walk. And I did 30 Day Shred this afternoon. and thank you for the comp! I have underarm fat but you can't see it there too much in that pic :devil: but I did love wearing those camo pants.

and I had good luck @ Goodwill! I tried on SO many pair of black slacks, but finally lucked out with a pair of Old Navy 8 long, they look and feel good. And a white button down shirt, and 4 or 5 long sleeved tops (I layer them with t-shirts) pair of black loafer-type shoes, 3 pair trouser socks (they were new in package) and a nice classic grey coat, like a belted pea coat, and a pair of new reading glasses (purple with polka dots, lol) for under $70. Oh and DH picked out a black t shirt for himself.

the black slacks are good to have for anything that's dressier than jeans (and I wanted them for my 'private waitressing' gig, also the shoes and the white blouse) I would have liked to start combing for jeans, but it had already been about 1 1/2 hours and DH was very patient (had been to TWO stores and back)

I felt OK about $pending because I finally got my last paycheck from the summer job (we got paid every 2 weeks) and there was the 10 1/2 hours of overtime, plus the end-of-season bonus which is a week's pay, very nice to have. And DH finally received 3 UI checks all at once. Whew.

And we bought a new vacuum cleaner here in town, oh joy :D truly, I am happy, because the previous one was maybe 8 or so years old, and had sucked billions and trillions of dog hairs :rofl: and was not sucking anymore :devil: This new Eureka is the same model as our old one but much much improved, it moved much easier and is just better. It was so nice to do my floor exercises on a really clean, freshly vacuumed rug.

have a nice night, chicks :D

Holly, You look awesome in the camo pants! And, I am glad you had a good luck spree at GW. I hope you need the black pants a lot for this gig and more to come.
:rofl: with the dog hair. Before we got Jake in December I would not have understood about the billions and trillions of hairs.... now I do! That dog sheds more hair than most people have. But, he is a good dog and he was a good rescue (btw, the animal shelter he was at was shut down last week for many, many counts of animal cruelty). My DH is patient when I shop.... but DS are not!

Well, our CC should be almost ready to head to Vegas. I sure hope she has a safe and fun trip.

Mandy, how are things with your daughter? How are things with that girl-- do they have anyone in custody yet?

I am not going to go into all the details, but I am having teen problems again. Basically, he just does not want to follow the tiny rules I set for him (like come straight home after school, empty the garbage), etc. He picks the worst kids (or they have felons for parents) to hang out with...... I am such a loss. He is truly not a bad kid...... but he is being bullheaded.....
Today is his doctor's appt over his arm. I am hoping that maybe I can talk to him one on one. He is struggling over being the stepson of a cop...... Which does not make my life easy!

good morning, and Tammy I'm sorry to hear of the strife with DS ... good luck with the doctor's appt and I hope he opens up to talk and listens to you.

We had to kill a skunk this morning :( :( :( he was in our garbage and had gotten his head stuck in a peanut butter jar! ( I posted about it in General Chatter with 'Please put lids back on empty jars!') and he was suffering but no way would either of us get close enough to pry the lid off..I am sad because he died because of humans.

I hope CChick has not gotten the snow I saw on the country's weather map! and right, she must be almost all ready. Hope she soaks up lots of sun and warmth! :cool:

Hello Mandy :wave:

Haven't worked out yet, will check back in after I do. Have a nice morning :cool:

I did something new, a Cathe dvd routine I've never done, and with good reason :eek: it was kickboxing cardio, man . I could only do half of it, but that was a good 30 minutes. Then I chose her Abs Only dvd and did a 13 or so minute Abs routine.

Hey girlies sorry I have not check in but been extremely busy with getting all stores good to go before I leave and then tonight we went out for wing and beer ok it is taking me a bit to write because I am having to retype :) to many beers if you get my drift :)

Holly I wish I could get deals like that at our Goodwill but usually not that lucky

Tammy sorry to hear about DS issues same goes here if you need to talk please PM me and I will be more than glad to send you my cell # to talk teenagers not sure where the heck they are coming from these days

Holly no snow yet but it is suppose to be coming but we will be on plane tomorrow and not coming back till Monday so you won't hear from me till probably Monday night- then off on Tuesday as we are opening a new store Nov 5th so we are going to be really busy next week when I get back

As for pets we did have some outside dogs and yes I say dogs because we never really had them long enough to be part of family because I always felt bad that they were outside dogs so ended up giving them to a more loving family that would make them part of their family- not saying we didn't love them and didn't take care of them but we just didn't have alot of time to put out there for them and seen that so found a more fit home - sorry if I am sounding cold here but I think at least we figured that out early on

WOW about the chimp story but you know they were grieving just the same as well do I am sure

Ok well we are taking off tomorrow morning I will try to log in before leaving but not sure I will have time but believe me if I do I sure will-

Have a Great Super Weekend talk to you next week- Again Tammy call anytime if needed :)

did 30 Day Shred, level 3. I'm getting tired of all of my vids and dvd's, then thought - which one DON'T I want to do, because it's so hard? that would be 30 Day Shred, a Cathe one, and the Gilad Hips Thighs Buns one. The 30 Day Shred is the quickest, so that's what I did.

CC: I hope you have a blast! Be careful.
I understand and respect what you did for your dogs... most people would be selfish and keep them "outside" and think it is fair..... but you didn't do that. (Not that all outside dogs are bad-- some are meant to be out there). That is awesome.

DS is not going to have surgery for now. But, while I was in the doctor office with him DH got to feeling bad at work, went to the ambulance base and they checked his BP. It was sky high.... so we went to urgent care and they put him on medicine for BP (which he has never had to have before)..... I hope this is his motivator to keep losing weight and exercise. The doctor was a butt....... his message was (not in these words), but you are fat and you have high BP, take this pill-- see your regular doctor. I mean, it is true..... but do you have to be such a butt?

Holly, WTG on all the exercise. I would like to do some cardio kick boxing-- I just haven't yet.

I ate chinese yesterday (before the stuff with DH). I am paying for it today... I am bloated and I struggled through bootcamp this AM.

Mandy, hope you are doing well.

I have to get to work..... We are only here til noon today! Woo Hoo!

Morning ladies. Hubby is off work today and we are going to help some friends move. Things are getting kinda stressful here, my husband just found out he is getting stationed in San Diego, Ca for the next 3yrs. We have decided that the kids I will stay here in Jacksonville Fl. Unless God preforms some miracle, he leaves in March or April. I'm just dealing with a lot of emotions right now.

Mandy,

I am sooo sorry he is being re-stationed. I will keep you in my prayers! Maybe God will perform a miracle.

You will be dealing with the move about the time my son leaves for Kosovo. I guess we will be an emotional mess together.

good morning chicks :)

Mandy, oh gosh...I am sorry to hear about DH being stationed across the country! :hug:

Tammy, good vibes to your DH...I hope he can get on the path you are to control his BP, and yeah that doctor was a butt! too bad someone in that position doesn't have some tact and compassion and a few social skills along with a medical degree.

CChick is probably tearing up Vegas :D have fun, girl!

Happy Halloween :badbat::sklol::haphal::dracula: I have to work, then right after, go to the Town Hall to help with the kids' party. I will just be a regular cowgirl/lady. Then afterwards, if I still have energy (like at 8:00 pm, oh geez I;m getting old :rofl: ) we will dress up to go out on the town.

I had major bad eating yesterday. Just felt like I needed to confess to you girls :devil:

30 Day Shred, level 2.

Holly..... OMG..... I am old too :( My bedtime is before 10 (lol).

I hope you all have a great Halloween!

If it makes you feel any better after your confession Holly, I have been eating horribly since Wednesday. I am just having a hard time staying on track.... but I AM getting back on track tomorrow!

Y'all be safe!

I just got back from the prettiest fall ride ever! It is about 65 here, it has finally stopped raining....... and it was beautiful!:bike:

Hey Holly, you are rubbing off on me. I just got done baking pumpkin spice muffins..... and now the chocolate ones are beeping they are done.

Talk to you later.

good morning, happy November 1st. I sure like it being lighter in the morning but ugh that means it will be full on dark at like 5:00 pm. All I want is warmth and sunlight from 5:00 am to 9 pm, is that so unreasonable :rofl:

Tammy, I am SO glad you had a great ride yesterday!! :carrot:

30 Day Shred level 3.

should I confess about the 8 fun size Snickers I had last night??

good morning, will check back in after I work out :)

Morning Biker Chicks.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was okay....except for the part where I ate WAY too much.... but I am doing damage control now.

Not much to chatter about. I did bootcamp this AM, walked Jake, and I ran 3/4 of a mile and walked another 1/2. I need to stop eating so much on the weekends so I can get out of the 190s......

I have to get back to work..... talk a little more later. Hope everyone is well.

good evening chicks :) congrats on your great exercise this morning Tammy :) today I did Gilad stuff, 3 of his tapes; Hips Thighs and Buns; Shoulders and Arms; and Abs. They're shorties, none over 15 minutes each.No cardio today.

Sunny but cool here today, didn't get much past 50 degrees. I fear my biking days are almost numbered at none left :( Such a narrow window of opportunity, maybe at noon or 1 pm there is sun enough for warmth, but I'm at work.

Work has been okay. as I said before I feel humbled and am glad to just have a job. And it's pretty easy stuff.

Today I told DH that I was resigned to the truck driving gig, and would be supportive and not crabby :D if it comes to that. There just isn't that much around here; he doesn't have a college degree...I don't relish the idea of being alone for days, weeks or longer, but if it is what he/we have to do, then that's it. I still say, keep status quo for now and keep sending out resumes but collect the UI for a while. I hate change :p and avoid it like the plague :devil:

have a good night 8)

Hey there Girls, we made it home :( that means vacation is over darn it
We had a great time will get pictures posted to facebook probably tomorrow night. It is great being out there over Halloween. The weather was great it was 80 + degrees perfect out. We toyed around with renting a motorcycle but it didn't happen we should have decided the night before then maybe we wouldn't have stayed up till wee hours of morning it was like 4-5 am our time before going to bed everynight and then back up we were having breakfast at 9:30 but wouldn't change a darn thing we had so much fun :)

Holly great job on keeping up with the exercise even though you had a few mini snickers :)

Tammy I know about the eating stuff as I just can't get my butt back into the groove either but hopefully after this week I will get back on track because I really need to be losing before Jamaica in less then 3 months

Mandy so sorry to hear that your DH is going to be station in CA that is so far away but totally understand the reasons that you would stay where you are with the kids and all- My dad was in the service when I was growing up
and we would move every 18-24 months and it was the pits as a child growing up......

Holly that is still good news that DH is looking and not 100% sold on the truck driving thing.....

Ok well I really should get some stuff done and get my butt to bed
I will check back tomorrow evening - Have a Great Day

good morning and welcome back CChick! looking forward to seeing your pics :) 80 degrees, oh that must have been nice!!! :carrot:

today is our 30th wedding anniversary :hug: holy cow, yeah 30 years! No big plans, guess we'll go out to dinner at a local bar where they have very good burgers. I wish our kids were more aware of things like this, I know they won't remember :shrug: At least they know our birthdays :devil:

I'll try to check in after I work out.
