Yesterday when I was all comfy and ready to take a nap, my DH came to get me to go to the gym. Didnt want to.....but thought about this challenge! Got up and did 30 on recumbent bike with her.

She went to the gym ALONE with no prodding from me today!!

Did I mention she is a great kid??

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Evening black team,


How did everyone's last chance workouts go!? You better have worked your butts off! lol. Did the first day of week 4 c25k and it went well. Scale hasnt moved this week but I am really feeling stronger this week and the clothes feel looser so that is a good thing. None the less I am hoping the scale is nicer to me tommorow. I know it's been a quiet day, but I know that's cause your all working so hard for the weight in tommorow. Good luck everyone! even you roni. :laugh:

:drinker:

Hey Andrew-- I ran 3.5, and it was really lovely-- it cured some of the grumps that were creeping in. I had a choice to either run or stay home yelling at the kids for how the house looked--

Heading to work-- Sara, glad you're home.

Marla64

All right people-- I'm getting tired of the sound of my own voice (although it is lovely-- hee)

Who's got the next challenge?

I just bought myself an Easter outfit-- size 10 skirt, size Large blouse-- soooooo happy. I haven't seen either of those sizes in many moons.

Hope you're all having a good day!

I'm here. WTG with the size 10 skirt. My Easter outfit is the outfit my daughter got me to wear for her wedding originally but I couldn't get into and I wouldn't let her take it back. HeHe It fits me now.:drinker:

Still no net guys.

I've taken to running along the *kitten* (is that how it's spelt???), instead of going to the gym in the morning. I'm really enjoying it but hate the part where I have to walk back home after a brutal workout. Haha. I ALWAYS overestimate how much I can do but on the plus side it's forcing me to work even harder. At the gym when you're done, you step off the machine and drive home but when you're running outside you don't have that luxury.

Anyway, here's hoping they have my net fixed by tomorrow. I'm dying without my calorie counter. ): I fail at planning meals without it.

Congrats, Marla! That's fantastic!

Also, Congrats to Bobbi! YAY for fitting in the outfit!

ANDREW! That ticker is flying by! 84# is nearly the weight of all 3 of my kids combined! WTG!

Sorry I’ve been lazy about posting lately. Let me catch up.

Amanda – I’m sorry you have to deal with everything that happens with your dd. But don’t forget to take care of yourself too because you are worth it! :flowerforyou:

Marla – I’m glad you had a fun time with your friend.
Everybody has different goals, a tummy no longer folding over when standing up is a great one.
Good job on the Easter outfit size. I don’t remember if I posted it last week or not but between Dave and me, we went to 4 different stores before I found my size of the dress I really liked. There were only bigger and smaller ones. I guess all the people that were size 10’s and 12’s when I was also lost weight and are now 8’s because they were out at the first 3 stores. :laugh:

Sam – When I read about your workouts, I think you are the perfect “Jillian”. You ALWAYS seem to push it, not just this week for the challenge.
Sorry you were feeling sick, glad you’re feeling better. (I said I was behind on posting. :laugh: )

Roni – I love the new av. You look great!
Good job working out in bad weather.

Jeannie – It was 70 here one day last week. Yesterday it snowed. Today it was 50. I hope you enjoy your sunburn. :bigsmile:

Nicky – I can’t believe the guy at the gym acted like that! :noway: Have you called to report him?

Sara – Glad you’re back. Even though I was lazy about posting, I was lurking and you were missed. :flowerforyou:

Lynnie – Hi. How is work going? Bye. :laugh:

Andrew – Way to go on the weight loss Batman!


We're having problems with our NEW elliptical now. This one is supposed to be better than the last one but less than 2 weeks in, it's squeaking worse than the first one. :noway: :grumble: We can't afford one of those crazy $3000 ellipticals. I don't know if we're gonna try to call about the warranty (because that worked SO well last time) or if we're gonna give up on ellipticals and return it for a bike or some other cardio equipment.

Not to be the annoying kid who asks, "Are we there yet?" but who has this week's challenge?

Hi guys,

I've been lurking, but not much up to posting.

Still not losing and feeling pretty beat up. I had nasty muscle spasms in my low back this week and could hardly move. Seriously ticked off at my body lately..

Planning to get back to a more serious workout tomorrow.

Quick shout outs:

Andrew - great work on the ticker - send some of that good karma my way

Sara - I'm glad your back, we missed you - sorry you had a sad time.. {{{hugs}}}

Roni, Jeannie, Beth, Shuntae - your AVs look great, you guys are awesome

Nicky - don't let one stupid jerk turn you off of the gym - report him to the management, there is no reason to be so nasty.. hope you get your internet back soon - we miss you

Marla - size 10 - WOW girl - that is awesome..

Sam - you rule the workout world - I just aspire to be as strong someday

Amanda - I'm so glad you are back and that you were not seriously hurt by the deer. They seem extra screwy this time of year. My husband came home the other night and told me "A deer hit your car." Apparently he had already stopped and let them pass but one came back and rammed the car - screwwy wabbit..

I know I missed a bunch, and I you all, but am really tired and must zonk..:yawn: :yawn:

Nite all..

Janie
