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 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*

Okay I am packing up to leave in the morning. I am going to stay more positive this week. I am keeping my food locked in the car instead of my room. I am leaving my room and going to go work out....maybe explore the city. I cannot do this sit in the room and mope thing for two more weeks.

AmandaJ

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.

AmandaJ

Lynnie, now that is the spirit, keep your chin up and it will be Friday before you know it! :flowerforyou:

Well when I did my walk this morning it sunshined, spited snow and wind. Couldn't make up it's mind. But am haveing a lazy day other then that. Make sure I'm drinking my water and eating my veggies. :bigsmile: So hope the rest of the black team has enjoyed the rest of their day as well. :flowerforyou:

AmandaJ

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:

Marla64

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--

to my team.

janiebeth

Hi team

We started out with a really nice day here today, but the clouds moved in for the last part of the day and it is now raining.. We are hoping it doesn't turn to snow tomorrow, but so far that is the forecast..

I had a couple of brain dead days Friday and Saturday - ate over my calories and did not exercise...

Today I did 1 hour on the Wii fit and 45 minutes in the pool. Then we got Chinese take out.... I didn't go over calories because of the exercise, but needless to say, I will be drinking gallons of water to try to get rid of the sodium before weigh in..

Bobbi - you are cruising on the couch to 5K.. I am going to do week 1 day 1 tomorrow. I'm kind of worried about it because of the shin splints, but will definitely give it my best spot.. I will start by warming up on the elliptical to try to stave off the splints..

Amanda - hope your snow melts soon - ours is almost gone..

Marla - your walk sounds great - nice to catch up with friends..

Sam - the kittens did remind me of the dance scene in pulp fiction.. funny

nwfamilygal - a lazy day sounds really good to me... i need one of those (or not, if I keep eating...)

Hope everyone had a great day..

AmandaJ

Janiebeth, I hope it doesn't snow on you, I am so tired of snow. I am jealous of your pool time, I can't wait until Tuesday when I can go to water aerobics.

Marla, how nice to catch up with a friend. That sounds wonderful.

Sarah, where have you been today????

loreeb18

I'm home but we're tired and going to bed. Talk to you guys tomorrow!

Girlmom282109

So, I worked today from 10:30 til 5pm. I was outside all day long and I must say that I have the most B-E-A-UTIFUL tan ever!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :laugh: :laugh: It was 78 degrees and sunny!

Anyone wanna come visit?:drinker:
the last two days I have been either in the pool all day or running all over work so I have not been using my treadmill. She needed a rest anyways. I will be on tomorrow and spinning is on tuesday!!

Hope everyone is doing great!

AmandaJ
