Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the group Jala, cdb and Peach.

I'm sorry I haven't been around much these first few days, it's been a rough week but it's almost over! YAY! I haven't even had time to really think about my goals so I"m going to stick with the 40 miles and just leave the weight training minutes where I put them on my test ticker. Maybe I'll do some recalculating after this weekend.

Our nice wam weather seems to be cooling off again, I guess it was just a teaser I really need to get in a long workout this weekend. I can really see a difference in my moods when I don't exercise so I've really got to stay on track.

Keep on walking everyone! The weekend is almost here!

Great new picture Teresa! Your really doing a great job!

Nite Teresa:yawn:

I did 20 minutes of weights today and worked in some crunches this afternoon. I did not log the crunches.


Tonight for dinner I ate a whole steak. :huh: I know it's not reasonable, but my body wanted it! :devil: I was feeling the need for protien.
I am not a binge eater, and usually have no problems staying under my calories. :ohwell: I ate it I have no excuse to offer, and it tasted wonderful. :smokin: I was under my calories, just..............................................barely.:blushing:

:glasses: Nite all, :yawn: Alice

hi everyone,
I finally feel like I back in the swing of things..... Last month was so miserable, and cold and I felt yecky through much of it and just gave up almost all together. but we've finally had a nice week of beautiful days. I was able to get out and enjoy them and lift my spirits enough to get me through this next week which is suppost to be snowy again... I hate this time of year because I get spring fever so bad.

I got in 3 miles to day. My daughter even joined me, even after she got back from running for track practice, she's in high school and loves running. She told me she's going to keep me on track this month,,,, if she has to run I have to walk.....:laugh: I just might reach my goal and then some...

everyone have a great night. and keep walking :drinker:

Welcome to the new walkers! Everyone is making nice progress. I'm still under the weather so it has been a sedentary week for me. Not started my goals for this month yet. I hope to snow shoe and walk at my friend's lake cabin this weekend. I just keep drinking Airborne and sucking on the cough drops. Now for some Nyquil and off to bed.

Happy walking and think positive thoughts for my cold to be done!

hi all,
I got home from work tonight and decided I was not going to walk. after dinner.... I daughter cleaned up and then said lets go. She pushed me out the door. and we went 2 miles tonight. Tomorrow, I get to spend the day at a JH wrestling match. She made me promise I'd sneak away and walk sometime durning the day though..... She's so good for me.

Jenny hope you feel better soon, have fun snow shoing this weekend, I use to love to go, but haven't been in years.

I am soooo tired. I've been out shopping with my kids since around 8 or 9 this morning. They are looking for prom clothes. It really makes me feel old, my son will be graduating in just a few short months. :sad: But I am proud of him & his girlfriend, they'll make a cute couple at the prom.

I should have taken my pedometer, I feel like I've walked about 10 miles.

What can I say? I've been looking at myself and realizing that I can do more than I think. I think about the Biggest Losers and although I know there at a ranch and have all the doctors, personnal trainers and the like, they still have to do the work. And if a six hundred man can do the things he's doing on the show, pushing himself I figure I can push one more mile every now and again. Who knows what tomorrow will bring, but for now when I think I can I will.

4 miles saturday and 4 miles sunday on the boardwalk.

jrbanta

I'm back from my weekend and it was fun! We exercised alot with walking and snow shoeing so I went an equivalent of about 10 miles over the weekend between both. My cold is so much better so I have lots of energy compared to last week. Now I have to start my weight training for the month. Lots of new members joining the group! Welcome!

Hello, March marchers!

Great to see so many continuing and so many new walkers. :happy:

I got a few new Sansone videos to add to my collection and tried out the Walk Slim Fast & Firm 4 Miles this weekend (twice!). It's a good workout; first time I've seen Leslie turn over the lead to another walker, which was still motivating, and my first use of the firm band.

Along with the use of the firm band, I used Sansone's Short Cuts video for strength training. Like many others, I'm trying to add those minutes to my March tallies. My arms are really feeling the added exercise, :grumble: but I hope they get used to it soon and hope to see the difference at the end of the month.

Have a great week, everybody!

Good morning, all!

Welcome to our newbies!

I'm feeling a bit better but the head congestion seems to be hanging on. And now my shoulder is sching from moving a bunch of trees on Friday! I will attempt the yoga today but I may have to skip some of the moves--we'll see.

Consance--I wish I had a daughter that would push me out the door to walk!

I didn't walk on Saturday but took my grandson for a 3+ mile walk yesterday. It was a fairly nice day here.

Time to go. Have a great day, everyone!

Good Morning WALKERS !!!


I ididn't have much time this morning to get my walk in, I had to mail out a birthday present to my Dad, So I had to over night it because his birthday is tomorrow :bigsmile: Any how I got 3.84 miles in.

I haven't lifted weights for the past 2 days :frown: . Still looking for a weight bench, No Luck on craigs list yet!! And I didn't want to spend the money at Wal-Mart, The bench price wasn't to bad $77.00 But then I'd have to buy the bar & weights seperately.
I must get some weight lifting in tonight even without the weight bench, I had to give the sore muscles a little rest.

I started this journey 1 week before Thanksgiving at 206. pounds and as of today I weigh 163.4 (3 1/2 months), I can't believe I waited So many years to DO THIS!!!!!!!! WHY DID I let myself go so long. Yeah , I still have 40 pounds left to go, But Im feeling Great NOW! and all it took was 3 1/2 months. ( WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!! ALL THOSE YEARS). SORRY I JUST HAD TO VENT OUT LOUD to myself

I THANK THIS GROUP & ALL MY MFP friends for my Journey thus FAR. :drinker:

Hi Everyone!

I really feel like I've been slipping lately and I"m trying to get back into the swing of things. I had a busy weekend and missed out on my usual long workouts and now I feel so guilty. I did get in 2 miles (a little over) at lunch today. I probably won't get to walk tomorrow as I have to leave work early for an appointment afterwards and Wednesday I have a lunch meeting. So after that I should be free at last and able to get back into a routine. So everybody send me a butt kicking if I don't! :bigsmile: The only good thing is that I have not gained any weight so I seem to be doing the maintenance thing okay.

If anyone likes guacamole I tried a new recipe tonight and it's great! It's called Slim Guacamole, my son's girlfriend found a great mexican light cookbook.

Happy Walking!

TeresaSavage

Hello Group!!!

I forced myself to get some weight lifting in, I got side tracked several times. My husband interupted, wanting me to hold the flashlight so he can fix my car tire (around 8pm) then I had a phone call that I gladly excepted :bigsmile: , so I might have gotten 5 minutes in.

Sandra -- skipping the weekend is okay, But its time to get back on track. Thank Goodness your maintaining your weight Thats Fantastic!!!!!!


Good Night!!!! zzzzzzzz

jrbanta

My endurance is so much better and I feel so much stronger, Yay! Tomorrow I will do a weight work out, I think I may readjust my weight lifting minutes for the month since I'm getting a later start.

Hi all,
Hope everyone had a great weekend.,,,
I didn't get much of a workout in eather this weekend, only 2 to 3 miles. Sunday is always my rest day. This week I've decided I'm going to add yoga back into my routean, a couple days/week. So today I did 30 min. yoga, and only 1 mile, My daughter wasn't home to push me to do more tonight.:laugh:

Terese - 163 lbs is amazing,, especally in 31/2 mouths,,,, it's taken me 2 years just to drop 30 lbs., I've still got 20 more to go, but the closer I get to my goal the harder it comes off. But I think it also has to do with motavation too.... If I walked as much as you do I'm sure I'd be at my goal today.

Hello Walkers!

I'm getting a late start this month. But I did Leslie's Boot Camp today. 3 miles...its not a lot but I'm moving and that's what matters. My goal is 30 miles. Fingers crossed. LOL

Thanks Sandy. You're doing a great job again, as always.
