Just glad you found us. Been having issues with the site, connection, etc. I am not sure when my back will be up to working out. But soon I hope.
Chris, I think this is a great one! :a

Hello! I've been MIA during my busy month of Oct! Went to Atlanta this past weekend to visit daughter for 31st birthday. It was a great visit! But ate too much! Back on track today.0

Hi Lynette and Tracy. Glad you found us. Not sure I am liking this. But giving it a try. Just figured out how to add Chris so she could be a "leader".
Shelley0 -
Good morning. October was not a good month for me. But I'm not giving up. Found the group this morning and will try to get off to a good start. I love the challenge Shelley. Hope your back gets better soon.
I'm going to include walking and tennis with the challenge. Our winter tennis season starts this week. If it's cold outside I will use my DVDs to keep me on track. Good luck ladies.

Checking in [salute]...
Hope November heralds a new start for many of us. The challenge looks great!
Paula0 -
October was a bad month for me also. I am on an anti-inflammatory medication, Naproxen. Seems to be helping. So for those of you who also mentioned October being a bad month, I agree. November is going to be a great one. I am going to walk lots today and do light house work. Hopefully I can ease into the challenge Chris put up for us.
Shelley0 -
So glad to see everybody! What an adventure this has been...not!!
We will all do great this month! (*) (*)
I have the gym w/DD and trainer tonight. I'll see what part of our challenge is covered and then do the rest when I get home. I also have to get in my steps on gym days...can we say lazy-butt?? Only 47 days until the wedding. That's 6 weeks and 5 days! Egad!
Well, back to what they pay me for...bwahahahah!
Chris0 -
Lazy-butt, yep I can say it. But why should I say it Chris? I took a short walk with my boys. Doc said slow, so I went slow. Hardly any pain. So back to work for me in the morning.
47 days, stay strong Chris. You got this. So are you guys going to continue with your gym routine after the wedding? I sure hope you do. :l
My meds made me really dizzy,
So I have not taken the pain killer this afternoon. So do not like that feeling!
Stay strong everyone!
Shelley0 -
Shelley - the meds I have to take for the dentist make me dumb...and forgetful...and, well, dumb! Hope you're feeling well enough to not have to take them. 47 days...5 pounds...we'll see. I gotta do this. (*)
We have the trainer for a couple weeks past the wedding. I want to continue with her...pricy, but I love it!
Got to get our challenge done and some steps in...
Later, my friends,
Chris

I completed the challenge x2 today. I walked about 2 miles this afternoon.
Shelley - I've taken Naproxen before...it is very strong. Take care of yourself.
Chris - Enjoy the trainer. That's how I feel when I take extra lessons from one of the tennis coaches.
Going into the office tomorrow and tennis practice tomorrow evening.
Good night, Kathy0 -
Kathy I am glad I finally went in. Kept thinking I would get better. But when I struggled to pick up a small dog, and even had to get help once.....Well it was time to go in.
Chris I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxed for now. So done with the codeine. And I agree, I feel dumb. How can people want to be like this?
You and Kathy enjoy your trainers while you can. And eat your famous soups more to drop that 5 pounds!
Shelley
PS, algae is still slowly disappearing! 0 -
Thanks, Kathy and Shelley...our trainer worked us hard and for much longer than our normal session.
Got our challenge done once before I left for the gym. Enough push ups today to last me a good long while!! We go for a dress fitting w/the seamstress tomorrow so I don't know what I'll be able to do. Also it's voting day...
Okay, got to get to bed before I fall asleep at the computer and get my forehead dented with the keyboard keys...
Back tomorrow!

Good morning everyone! Feeling much better than on Sunday, got my weight lifting done, off to the gym for cardio this am. Have put in my 30 notice to discontinue with my personal training. I've enjoyed it for 3 years, but my lady quit and the replacement could only offer me a Friday night slot. I want to be able to go out on Friday night and after 3 years it would seem they could find one of the trainers with a spot that fits my schedule better. I think I've learned enough to do things on my own, and I have our great challenges!

Tennis practice this evening - 90 minutes. I have to get use to playing under the lights again. When I got home I completed one round of the challenge. Feeling pretty good.
Kathy0 -
Chris I hope fitting went well.
Clara sorry about your trainer. You can continue on your own until a trainer becomes available.
Kathy great practice. You rocked it. :w
I went to work today. Took it easy. Slowly getting back to myself. Zumba tomorrow. Hoping to be able to go. Hope everyone voted.
Shelley0 -
Fitted, voted, woke up late. Must go now...back this evening.
Chris0 -
Shelley, glad you're feeling better.
Chris, sounds like you had a busy day.
I slept late so will have to fit a walk in sometime today.0 -
I only vote so I can have the right to complain! Muahahaha So tell me about the fitting Chris.
Clara I so want to sleep late!
Zumba is tonight. I am so excited. Going to try and get in an extra walk also.

Well all I got in was my zumba. It was fun. My back is a bit sore and stiff. But getting better.
Shelley0 -
Shelley -- Her dress is beautiful!! It fits her perfectly. They marked where to put the hooks on the back so we can get the dress up out of her way during the reception, and they are going to move a hook and eye, so it's easier to hook at the top of the zipper. I won't have my dress altered until the beginning of December.
Sorry...Traffic was awful the entire commute home then I got sidetracked with Bean and grocery shopping. The kids are at a wedding-planning-scheduling meeting and we are puppysitting. I didn't get anything done today. Tomorrow is the gym, and I'm hoping to get our challenge down before we leave.
Back then...have a great Thursday, everyone!

Shelley - I was one of the people who got Naproxyn before it was OTC. It kicked my crippling arthritis. Hope you feel better soon. Congrats on your un-blooming tank!
Clara Kathy & Chris - good job on all your working out. I love the new challenge (well, except for the "repeat 2-3 x's part") but am stuck in lazy-butt mode. No legitimate excuse, just exhausted. Paula 0 -
Shelley: The group pictures shows your boys lolling in the sun and the weather channel says you're getting hit by an arctic blast. How did that happen so fast?0
-
Paula, we all just do what we can. Maybe just do 1 round of the challenge and not the repeat part until you are more in the mode.
I didn't do anything yesterday but did get in a workout this morning.
Having to deal with workmen replacing sheetrock and painting after a pipe leaked. And to top it off, another workman, that has done work in the past for me,came by and cursed at the sheetrock guy. He's a good guy but has been coming around drunk. I have checked into it and if he comes around, I'm going to call my local deputies and issue a crimminal trespass warning to him. When he's sober he does great work, and we were hoping he was getting himself straightened out, but when he comes around and scares other people, it's time for him to go.0 -
Hello all. I finally found the group. Hate this no search for groups issue. But I am here and hope to get active. Love that you are feeling better Shelley. Paula - you and me better get our butts in gear. Little by little we can make this a routine and daily habit. I want to play tennis still Chris but haven't found a buddy yet. Still asking around. Clara - you can do it now without a trainer. I think I need one though that would show up at my house at night and force me into a workout. I am not sure where to find one of those.
- Have a great day
Kim0 -
I had a good day...60 minute tennis lesson and the challenge x2.
Shelley - I hope your back continues to get better.
Chris - i can't wait to see pictures of your daughter in her dress...and you too of course
Paula - I've been in "lazy butt" mode for about 2 months. I completely understand
Kim - glad you found us0 -
Paula that picture is a month or two old. It is of 3 of my darlings and my grand dog. I took the picture to show my daughter they do get along. Paula every time I start to climb out of my lazy mode I injure myself! Hoping to beat the slump this time. My new phosphate reactor arrived today. It fits behind the back of the tank. I will hook it up tomorrow. Thanks for the well wishes.
Sounds beautiful Chris! Can hardly wait to see pictures!
Kim I am so sorry. I should have sent you an invite. To busy feeling sorry for myself. Muahaha. I am there with you, still looking for my mojo. Zumba is helping.
Clara good luck with your sheetrock. Having someone trespassed is a bit more than a warning. At least it is here. I would not want him around either. Wish you all the best.
Kathy my friend you and Chris have stayed so strong. You both inspire me. You may think you are in lazy butt mode, but tennis? So not lazy. You are rocking.
Paula did you get my card? If so, I know it was bad. But I could not help myself. Please forgive me.
I was over my calories tonight. So making tomorrow a great day.

I can't put the pictures up yet because both DD and future DSIL can see any pictures I post.
I'm pretty sure those of you who have misplaced your mojo will find it soon. I can't give up because my dress just fits. I want to lose seven pounds, so I don't have to worry about it touching my skin. My trouble spot is my stomach. I'm working on that.
Got our challenge done once with a bunch of steps then went tot the gym with my daughter for 40 minutes. It was a good day. I have tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday off, so my plan is to work up a sweat for the next five days.
What fun!
I get to sleep past 3:30 a.m. tomorrow!!
Hope you all have a great Friday.
Chris0 -
Shelly the reason it's a trespass warning is that he hasn't been told yet that he's not welcome. Once I do that either verbally, or with a deputy around to give him a written warning, he won't be able to come around without getting arrested. Last time I saw him he was sober and did a good job. But he can't seem to stay on the wagon, so he'll have to go. It's a shame.
