    Paula & Shelley - im plugging through this term, but I also feel like it is too much right now. A neat concept, but I'm just too busy to do it well. This week will probably be my poorest. Need to ramp up quickly!

    I'm having a rough week....a lot at work, stress and just too much eating! Ouy Vey. I have lunch with my yoga group today. Some new friends. They do a monthly lunch and I go as much as I can....really nice group. I missed last month, so looking forward to connecting with them, even though I really don't have time.

    We are supposed to have crazy rain today. I don't know if I'll walk to the post office or not...we'll just have to wait and see. I have Collin Duty in a bit.

    Chris sorry about the rain. And fun Wednesday wasn't so fun. Must have been a good workout though.

    Paula you are rocking your walks. Fantastic. I agree with your not eating your exercise calories. I do it also :sad: Showing lots of improvement.

    Karen I am struggling also this session. To many things need done.

    Kathy keep going. Those elliptical are grueling.
    Chris here is one of your fist posts I ever read:

    Schedule for Mar 1st -- 6th
    Rest Mar 7th

    40 Jumping jacks
    20 Squats
    3 Burpees
    10 Pushups
    30 Mtn. Climbers

    Blast from the past.

    Shelley

    I repeated the old workout we did all those years ago. Going back to what worked. I left my phone at work tonight. So free. But its my mom's birthday, guess I will use Rockys phone

    Snow in California. I hope all are well

    thought I would post this here. Thinking of starting a new group and see if I can get others to want to join in on this in April. Of course I will send an invite to you all. Because I know you love Burpees! :laugh:

    Chris thanks, I joined. You got in some great walking

    Kathy I sent you an invite. Join the challenge. I need to figure out how to make it better. I doubt many can see it. Would like a small group of folks with conviction.

    Busy today. Paying bills and more ceiling scraping. The sheet rock is a mess! Looks like a 2 year old did the installation. Lots of unexpected company stopped by. Barney did great.

    Worked on the ceiling all morning into early afternoon. Only have the area above my computer, desk and book case remaining. About 4 by 7 ish. Going to relax the rest of the day.

    Karen great job. Love this type of workout.

    Chris Happy Birthday. Time sure flys by quickly. I sure have enjoyed getting to know you all these years. So many good times.

    Kathy I think you and Paula have also been with me for about 10 years.

    Karen how long for you?

    Shelley, Congratulation on Ravenclaw winning the Hogwarts challenge!

    And Karen, for Hufflepuff coming in second.

    Slytherin pulled up the rear :ohwell: but the challenge got me walking again; and that's a personal win.
