Forgot to tell you all- speaking of challenges- Beeps- I signed up for a program through work called "Walk To Wellness". It's through the Mayo clinic and you pick a goal of either steps or minutes/walked for the challenge time. It starts May 1st. If you complete it successfully you earn a point. We have several other challenges during the year and if you earn 10points your name goes in to a hat and they draw a person to win either money towards a gym membership, a bicycle or a Wii fit system. Some are exercise challenges, some have to do with food, some are to complete so many weeks of a class that may relate to stress management or other topics related to health. It's pretty cool. We also get 200.00 off of our health insurance premiums for the year which is excellent!0

Got to the gym today for back and bi's felt good. Big drama today at the gym, we have a workout couple (not married or dating, they are both married to others) I call them gym Barbie and Ken
and they broke up today...in front of everyone...so awkward. They have been working out together for a couple of years, always at the gym at 4:30am faithfully and they have these choreographed workout routines and they are loud because they talk to each other with their headphones on. so annoying.
Wow!
However, you have NOT supplied sufficient information!!
Please continue to report on this "drama"....because it seems like a good distraction for me, lol!!
How come they "broke-up"? They have been consistent for soooooooooooo long!
Wow! I sometimes really wish I had a work-out partner....then I read something like this and think, "Nope-y....no can do!"
Agreed! More info please!!:laugh:0 -
Hahaha - good Friday gossip, love it!
Well, from what I could hear... apparently, she is having an extra marital affair and her gym partner found out and said something to which she replied that he better not say anything to her husband 'or else'. and he doesn't approve of that schiz so he booted her. She was all crying and 'sorry' but he said NO he wants no part of being around her. She ran off crying and he apologized to some of the guys that he knew that were working out and proceeded to tell them all her bizness, and said 'she's a great workout partner, but that's it'.
I totally respect his decision to distance himself but to spread her biz around the gym...not so much0 -
Wow! lots of gym drama happening all over. :laugh:
I too would love a workout partner. I know I would be more accountable overall if I had one....and not my husband I'm afraid. We can easily talk each other out of anything, however, we would stay committed to a "stranger" per se. Weird.
I see this with our running. Everyone thought that when my husband started running it would be great - something we could do together, but in actual fact, my running went downhill. He never wanted to go when I did. When we had long runs scheduled, he would change his mind and do a shorter distance, etc. Anyway, I am back to doing my own thing with running. He trains too, but we don't train together.
HOWEVER, I want a workout partner......nothing else! :laugh:
Wasn't sure I would get my run in yesterday, but after our family dinner (yes, another big family dinner) I only had 1700 steps on my pedometer, so I went out for a 10k run. It was awesome! Love night running! I have missed it, as I live in the boonies (woods) and am reluctant to go out in the dark. I was in town for dinner, so I decided to go around town. LOVED IT! Even with that run, total steps for the day was approximately 14,000. I need to kick it up a notch.
Cold and rainy here today. Well, truthfully, it is trying hard to snow. Yes, it's that cold! :noway:0 -

I actually LOVE that dude: In the words of another (I LOVE this quote!): "Save the drama for your mama. I won't ride your drama llama." HE ROCKS.....she's a LOSER with a 3D "L".0 -

Happy Saturday! Made it out on the bike this am before it rains here. It was nice to get out there- did five miles. Have a great weekend everyone.0

Yesterday was scheduled cardio....done!
Today I am going to go walking for at least one hour with a girlfriend....so, even some UNscheduled cardio this weekend.
ZOOM!0 -
HI all,
Didn't get my long run in yesterday (was out of town on the weekend), but did manage a nice long walk yesterday - I bet we did about 10km.
After the walk, I finally got to clean my car!! It's tough not having running water or a garage to clean the car out in. Finally some nice enough weather, and some time to wash and vacuum it all out. Felt so good to get into a nice clean car this morning. :happy:
It doesn't stay clean too long, as I have to drive about 8km if dirt road to get home, but at least with nicer weather coming, I can get it cleaned out more often and not have to do such a big *kitten* job of it. This was a LONG winter's worth of dirty. :noway:0 -
Sdereski- No running water?? That would really stink! Glad you were able to get your car cleaned up though.
Monday circuit training done! The track seemed to be a bit busier today with some new faces I don't usually see. They looked at me a bit strange when I stopped between running laps to do my squats, sit ups and push ups, but I guess that was their deal. I know that it is working for me even if I look a little goofy! I noticed last night that I am getting more definition in my bicep and tricep muscles so something is going right!
Have a great day all!0 -
Oooohhhhh, the clean car sounds AWESOME, sdereski!
Today, I lift!
BOOM!0 -
Good for you KellySue - I doubt they thought you looked silly! I like seeing people working on getting fit, seriously, it makes me more determined. I think they were looking at you and thinking that you are an inspiration :drinker:
Get'er done Beeps!
Sdereski - why no water? You own an Inn, right? Is it a rustic Inn w/no electricity & water? For a throwback experience?
Did my 5k yesterday but no PR for me...my 7 yo daughter decided she wanted to join me and I couldn't refuse. She did fantastic, did walk/jog intervals and she completed her first 5k with a PR of 41.21 - Yeah!!
She never complained once and wants to do another with me 0 -
KellySue - didn't I post the message here about "work-out like your dog would" - where it indicated, "when a dog goes out to play, it doesn't WORRY about what it looks like - it just goes and PLAYS". I am WAYYYY more proud of you that you just go to the gym and "play", rather than giving two crappolas about what you LOOK like.
YOU LOOK AWESOME - which is ONLY because you have worked diligently and consistently at CALORIES IN v. CALORIES OUT + EXERCISE.
YOU ROCK!0 -
Nice2BeFit - modeling your exercise-ethic to your daughter will have ALL the rewards IN THE WORLD! Congrats for taking her along and getting it done!
ZOOM!0 -
Thank You Ladies! You guys are awesome!!
Nice- that is so wonderful that your daughter went with you for your 5k. How fun for the two of you and what a nice memory and way to bond! I did my first 5k with my two adult daughters last year. It was a bit of the reverse situation for me, but it was fun!0 -
Kelly Sue - I should have clarified....I do have running water... in my house. :laugh: We live at the bottom of a big hill on a lake, so our house has water and everything else every modern home would have (electricity, internet, running water, tv., phone, but no cell phone service). The vehicles are parked at the top of that big hill where we do not have running water. We are not on town water, but on lake water (we have a sand point) and to put running water at the top of the hill would cost big bucks.
so yeah, I may live in a log home, in the boonies, but not that rustic. :laugh:0 -
Nice - I think it's wonderful that your daughter wanted to run with you. As mentioned, modelling your exercise and creating memories has its own, much greater rewards!
Kelly Sue - great job getting your workout in, despite what anyone may think or not. You're doing it, and it's working!!!0 -
Got my lifting in-and-done. I have an odd schedule this week - so can also lift on Wednesday, but can't on Friday. I will aim to lift on Thursday, but if that day fills up, then I guess I'll have to sacrifice Saturday cardio and go lift, instead.
Fine. I can do that!0 -
Got my weekend's long run in today after work. Battled on very nasty headwind on the way out. A few f-bombs were being said as I made my way out.0
-
Lol @ sdereski....i never took you for an f-bomb kinda gal!
Welcome to my world...0 -
Good afternoon all! Rainy, icky day here so no walk on my lunch break today. I did have some fun play time with Jake this morning. We played follow the leader and he walked me all over the house several times. :laugh: Too much fun! He wanted to come to work with me and was blowing PawPaw kisses when I was putting my shoes on to leave. He was a bit disappointed, but I'm sure he got over it quickly.
Hopefully the weather will improve so that I can get at least a couple of walks in over the next couple of days since Jake is at the house three days this week. Otherwise, I won't be back at the gym until Friday.
Have a good one!0 -
Nice2Bfit - that is great your daughter has the interest to run with you. Way to go! I wish I could get my husband and son to exercise with me but the only type of exercise they want to do is if it involves hunting and guns. LOL
It has been raining here for 3 days and cold. Not very motivating weather.
I glad to hear you are all doing good. I had a bummer week last week and pretty much had to start over this week and pick myself back up. I only accomplished one workout last week it was horrible. I am glad that mood has passed and hope it does not come back again.0 -
Hi all,
Rainy here as well. I was really hoping to get a good walk in to log some steps, but am not too sure that is going to happen. We'll see.
Kelly Sue, am sure you can burn up a lot of cals following little Jake around. we tease we should give Esme the pedometer for a day and see how many steps her little legs get in.
Work day flew by and ate on the run in my office - grabbed a bite here and there when I had a chance. That's why my weekly lunch dates with my gal pals is so precious. We sit and enjoy our yak n snack. :happy:0 -
So true that those toddlers can M-O-V-E!
Today, i lift!
Also, update on my "do what you say you will" challenge: last night marked five days, in a row, where i ate NOThING after supper!
I think i shall weigh myself at the gym, today!
BOOM,0 -
Beeps- good luck with that weigh in!!
Day two of Jake this week. He was a bit more tired today, as am I. :yawn: Of course, it being rainy and windy and gray does not help any either. They say that tomorrow is supposed to be the warmer day with just some scattered showers, so maybe I will get a walk in then before returning to the gym on Friday.
Have a good day!0 -
148.3! BOOM!
i shall take it....it makes my goal to be 147.0 by end of May quite doable and to be 145.0 by end of June quite doable, as well....especially with a FULL EIGHT DAYS of walking, walking, walking in London and Paris.
:laugh:0 -
148.3! BOOM!
NICE!! You can definitely hit 147 by then - keep up the great work!....as BEEPS would say 'ZOOM' 0 -
148.3! BOOM!
WTG! You rock. Way to stay motivated and hit new goals.:drinker:0 -
No lifting today, though....and no lifting tomorrow, either!
Date night tonight. A work function at lunch tomorrow. Maybe Friday night???? I dunnooooo....
Saturday is cardio - then my Mother's Day Supper (because I am going to be away from my family and be in Europe for ACTUAL Mother's Day!).0 -
Enjoy your date night!
Cardio and a bit of hiit today. Felt good. Going to be doing a bunch of body weight exercises as a challenge with some of my girl friends this month. They wanted help getting active.
Have a wedding this weekend. Going to be tough staying near goal. I know for a fact I won't be under goal due to alcohol consumption. Especially with the Bruins in the playoffs. Hahaha. Oh we'll back on the horse Sunday.0
