    Just got back from an hour and 10 minute walk, it was wonderful. Walked / run and picked up garbage! I rode my bike today for my "real" exercise so this was just a great way to spend an afternoon with my kids!

    Hope everybody is having a wonderful Saturday!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Bumpety Bump for the oh so quiet black team. Everyone must be having a busy weekend! lol
    Weather finally warmed up a bit yesterday so we took the boys out for a walk on the bike path. Aiden rode his bike and had the greatest time and daddy burned 700 calories in the process so it was a great day. We are looking forward to even better weather today! Anyway, good morning everyone!

    :drinker: :bigsmile:

    Andrew, I think the break in weather is the reason no one is playing here:grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

    That tells me I am goign to be lonely come spring!!:drinker:

    Great job riding bikes with Aiden. I didnt start to gain weight until my kids did things on their own. I sure wish I had played instead of watched for those years!!

    Have a good weekend!:glasses:

    Good morning team..

    We got out yesterday as well - how could you not - it was 60 degrees and sunny. We went to the beach so my older DD could explore the "intertidal rocky zone" - LOL - one 10 week program at Project Oceanography and now she is a marine biologist - stopped eating fish and everything..:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Was awesome though, there was still some snow up high on the rocks where the sea doesn't reach, so we ended up having a snowball fight at the beach. How often can you say you have done that??:noway: :noway: :noway: :noway:

    I don't know, but there is just something about all that fresh air and seeing the ocean.. contented sight....



    :laugh: :laugh: had to edit DD from DH - truth is I only have one DH (thank god - he is plenty !!):laugh: :laugh:

    I :heart: BLACK Team!!

    I love this picture - looks like the start of a hug - although knowing cats as I do, I'm sure it went downhill from there..

    Shout outs:

    Marla, Lori, and Amanda - great job resetting goals - I'm still a bit away from setting a serious goal, just know I need to stop the uphill and get to something more healthy. As I get closer I will narrow it down. Glad to know it helps to de-stress.

    Jeannie - glad you can move again.. I'm really sorry you got so sore. I would have thought that the trainer would have you doing enough to improve, but not to get so sore.. I think that's what turns people off of fitness. You should definitely feel like you have used new muscles, but I don't think it should be so painful that your normal movement is affect (just IMHO)

    Andrew - welcome back.. glad you got out with the boys - can't wait until the rest of the snow melts around here so we can reaquaint ourselves with our bikes.. should be this week (unless we really get the snow and sleet tomorrow - BTW, if we get more snow tomorrow, I am moving to Florida - I have had it..:noway: :noway: )

    Sam - my DH found a Sears distribution center yesterday that had the most awesome prices on all kinds of appliances - he said he saw a bunch of treadmills as well. Do you have one near you? Sounds like you could be in the market soon..

    Lynnie - enjoy your weekend.. and remember only 2 weeks to go.. just keep the food in the car - locked - and guarded by a giant panther... (I know, I'd find a way in too).. hang tough..

    Everyone I missed. thinking thin thoughts for all ..

    Have a great day.. Janie

    Two people called in sick yesterday so I ended up on a ten hour shift. When one has had ten hours sleep in three days that isn't exactly an ideal situation. :yawn:

    My honeymoon with caffeine has expired. It's just not doing anything for me anymore, no matter how much I consume. How sad.

    Heart still beating away strongly. No jumps, or skips, or hops or anything. *SIGH*

    Nikcy, I hope you come off of your caffiene high easily enough,

    Jeannie, I hope you have a great Sunday, along with the rest of the Black Team.

    I am not sure where everybody got the idea we are all having lovely "spring" weather. I woke up with two inches of snow and while it is true that my family went for a nice walk yesterday and picked up garbage, it was spitting snow and rain on us the whole time. :sad:

    When I went out to feed the ducks, chickens and goats this morning though I had to admit the snow is beautiful. :smile:

    My day was been good, just back from a 52 minute walk with some jogging and stairs and steep hills. Burnt 392 calories and I feel good. The sun shined here today but not enough to make the snow melt.

    nwfamilygal, glad you are having a great lazy day.

    Sam, if you didn't beat up your treadmill so much you wouldn't need a new one. You Rock Girl! :happy:

    Hey team-- beautiful day here-- headed out for a run and ended up seeing and catching up with a friend running up the road ahead of me. We took a 4 mile walk instead of a 1-2 mile jog-- and it was great time to catch up.

    Busy weekend, but productive-- heading to work--

    :heart: :heart: :heart: to my team.
