Hi Everyone!
Im back on track.....have rejoined the exercise wagon and boy do I feel pleased with myself! Got up at 5am this morno to squeeze in my 1.5 hour walk.....only it took a little less today as we did a wee bit of JOGGING! - yeah! It nearly killed us but we're ready to keep pushing ourselves.:noway:
Had a TERRIBLE start to the morning as when I woke up I saw that the budgie had disappeared (Id left him out the night before but often do that and he sleeps on top of his cage usually) so woke up the whole family with my panicking and crying lol. Its hot here now so was worried he'd died in the night somewhere. I was most miserable out this morning but all was good in the end cos when I got home, the kids had found him (theyd been crying on the sofa and they heard a little cheep cheep ) and out he flew from behind the TV. I should have know he'd turn up when he was hungry.......so there's a much happier family now
Anyway, my pal sent me this, as she heard Id been doing lots of walking. .....hoping you guys arent too PC!

Walking
The Importance of walking

Walking can add minutes to your life.
This enables you at 85 years old
to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing
home at £2,000 per month.

My grandpa started walking
five miles a day when he was 60.
Now he's 97 years old
and we have no idea where he is.

I like long walks,
especially when they are taken
by people who annoy me.

The only reason I would take up walking
is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

I have to walk early in the morning,
before my brain figures out what I'm doing..

I joined a health club last year,
spent about 250 quid.
Haven't lost a pound.
Apparently you have to go there!.

Every time I hear the dirty word 'exercise',
I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

I do have flabby thighs,
but fortunately my stomach covers them.

The advantage of exercising every day
is so when you die, they'll say,
'Well, He looks good doesn't he.'

If you are going to try cross-country skiing,
start with a small country.

I know I got a lot of exercise
the last few years,......
just getting over the hill.

We all get heavier as we get older,
because there's a lot more information in our heads.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

AND

Every time I start thinking too much
about how I look,
I just find a pub with a Happy Hour
and by the time I leave,
I look just fine.

You could run this over to your friends
But just e-mail it to them!
It will save you the walk!



KEEP SMILING!

Hello there lovely ladies!!!

I am so excited for tonights TBL!!! Can't wait to see them all!

I am here visiting my parents and having a nice time. The last few days have been hard on me with the eating. It is hard to go from a home filled with healthy foods to home that is not as healthy. Plus my mom likes to eat ice cream. The other day I was able to say no but yesterday we went somewhere that had a coconut crunch cyclone and I just wanted to have it but I did get the fat free frozen yogurt instead of the frozen custard. I felt so guilty while I was eating it! I came home and walked/ran five miles in an hour and burned almost 800 calories. I was hoping it would burn it off since the rest of the day I ate well.

Anyway I hope you ladies have a great day!
Amanda

I agree Crystal I don't think that she looked that healthy. I was really rooting for Mike or Tara to win. I am from the same city Helen is from .

Anyway it was a great show and I am so excited for Jerry I think that is just wonderful!!!! Amazing how the two of the oldest players won and beat out all those young kids!

I am really enjoying my running! I have lost some more weight but you will all have to wait until friday to find out how much :laugh:

I hurt my ankle this week at step class, so I've been doing the treadmill slowly. It feels good to move it in a smooth, even motion. I'm hoping to be ready for step class by Friday morning!! But, OHHHH how I want to run!! :grumble:

But my hubby says it will all be JUST FINE, but I have been having a wee panic over it. ummm....yeah eating like anything is more like it!! Good thing that I don't have a apile of stuff in my house!! So anyways we have been frantically goign to and from and in and out and over and under and all that stuff. BUT I have worked outside ALL day and I KNOW that I have burnt some major cals! I just don't know how many becuz I forgot my heart rate monitor!!! grrrr anyways I am back and going to give it my all again. I need something else for my brain to obsess about so I think this is much healthier!!! btw I am absoultly FLOORED about the scale and I CANT keep it to myself until thursday ( i am a BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd secret keeper:laugh: ) I got on it this mornig becuase to see the damage that I have caused myself and....:noway: :noway: I am 171.5?????!!!!????? WHAT in the world???? I have been eating JUNK and I have LOST????? well I will take it but I don't quite feel like I worked for it.....but oh well I will take it for SURE!!!! I am almost to the 160's woo hoooo!!!

gotta get my boy outta tub so hugs
jenny

tabbyh25

Jenny- Sorry to hear about your store. hopefully everything will be ok.

I am having knee pain. Does anyone have any advice on what to do about it? It hurts when I exercise so all I am doing for the next couple of days will be Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds.

sanifrey

Hiya girls!!

Jenny, I'm so sorry!! ((((HUG)))) I hope that you and your family have the strength you need to get through it all. Congrats on your loss this week! You'll be seeing those 160's soon!! :drinker:

Amanda, thank you for your well wishes. I did the TM again today & it's feeling much better. Still tender, but better!! You are doing great!! Thank you for tracking your workouts daily, they really do help to motivate & push me!! :flowerforyou:

Tabby, I suffer from bad knees as well. The only advice I have is to do what you can. If what you're doing is causing you pain, adjust it, do something else. I found this happened alot during some of my dvd's & even at step class. There were certain moves that would cause me pain & I'd do something different. Just work your way around it. I've found that as I've lost some of my weight it's gotten better, but there are still certain moves I won't even go near! Hope this helps! You are doing great!! :drinker:

Mina, how are you loving that P90X?? Looks like you're doing great! I hope that you got some rest!

Laura, how are you hanging in?? Did things go well with your SIL & the baby?? Sure hope so.

Connie, how about your girl?? How's that garden coming along/?

Crystal, our fearless leader, how are you holding up?? Are you still using that sauna suit??

To all our MIA ladies - come back, we miss you! :flowerforyou:

CrystalOKeefe

Jenny HUGS to you my deary...... I hope all works out for you..

Hi everyone:happy:

I know it's been awhile sence I've said Hi.....Life has been crazy as usual.. I can't wait for school to get out I hate these last few weeks before summer break........so much to get done...I come home exausted and promised myself to get to bed early.....leaving me only enought time to logon quick.. and then jump into bed.....and last night I wasn't going to miss BL for anything..... But It went so late....I was sort of sad.... Helen was not one of my fravorates... I agree with you all Tara or Mike should of won....but It was great seeing Jerry win too.......Gives hope to all us oldies....We can lose just as easy as the kids..... So when dose the next season start?????????????

Jenny, I so sorry to hear about your store. I hope thing work out for the best.......It's funny how the storms alway bring on brighter days.... even though we don't always see them at the time......Hang in there.....Being outside in my yard always makes me feel better too.... I just wish I had more time to be out there right now......It seems like we go from winter to summer here and suddenly everything is comming up including the weeds.......
But great on the weight loss..... I wish that could happen to me.... It seems like I have to fight for every pound lost.......but maybe if I would stick to a routeen then it would come off easer....

Sandi, I hope your anckel is feeling better.
And tabby your knee too. I could just be strain from the workout.....you might try a brace when you workout to help......

Kelly thanks for the laughts... :laugh: they were great....
Well I hope you all have a great day tomorrow and work your bums off..... :flowerforyou:
