No time frame, the surgeons office will call me with an appointment time.
How's the house coming along?0 -
Soooo it's a rainy, hot Monday here today. Sounds like a good day to see The Hunger Games, I really want to see The Avengers but the Hunger Games won't be in theaters much longer. DVD coming out in August.
The holiday weekend was absolutely gorgeous here since Friday! I took the day off yesterday (I've been gardening on Friday and Saturday) and my body felt it by Sunday. All of my flowers and tomato's are planted and I still have a lot of weeding and mulching to do. Slowly but surely it's getting there.
How was everyone's holiday???0 -
If anyone gets the license plate number of the truck that must've run me over while I was sleeping last night, please forward it to me....wow, am I sore.
The move is progressing. It was difficult to be productive with people coming over to see the house. I was able to get the pool open for the kids (though I probably burned a good 1000 cals cleaning it). I wish I could take this week off to get things more settled and also get the old house ready as one of the 5 renters wants to move in Thursday.
I had put on 3 pounds with the P90X routine and the craziness of packing but as of this morning I am down 4 lbs which puts me down 1 pound total. not much but good to see and I had to tighten my belt today!
Internet should hooked up this morning so I can get on at night.0 -
Everything is pretty well finalized, as of tomorrow when we sign the last of the papers, we are home owners! Yay!
And I got my appointment booked for my surgical consult, in July.0 -

Very happy for you on both!!!0 -
I have a thought for a calorie challenge beginning 06/02 and ending 06/16. 4000 calories burned in 14 days. It's only averging 285 calories/day and it should take away a pound minimum! Thoughts?
Is everyone still up for this challenge? I got the dates wrong so lets start Sunday 06/03? post daily calories burned with a running total as well. thoughts?0 -

Sure. I'm away at a conference for the 3-5th, but I'll do what I can.0 -
Hey Margaret, when do you start moving in your new home? It must be exciting and I'm glad you got your consult appt finally, July is a long time away but it will be here before you know it!
How's the house coming Bill? We own a nice ranch with a big yard, but hate the location and my husband and I are always talking about looking for a more private, quiet setting. But then we think about the move and all the headache's with it and just make the most of the house we're in.
Went to the podiatrist yesterday and he was pleased with the achilles tendon (even though there's scaring) he said I could probably start walking again but to take it easy. I plan on having surgery on my left foot (the one with the achilles tendonitis) in November so I really need to lose weight over the summer. Having a calorie exercise challenge will help - I'm looking foward to it
Katie - where are you???0 -

End of month at work again, for me. How did everyone do with their calories and water?
I can only speak for myself, but because of this challenge (and Bill, of course), I'm drinking at least 4 cups a day now by habit.
That's four cups of water more than I was drinking before. Thank you guys for pushing me, too.
Kathy, I hope you're back on track with your body. And I hope both Bill and Margaret have gotten their moving woes out of the way so they can begin their summer proper.
Thank you guys. :flowerforyou:

hi all,
Moving normally sucks but it's even worse when trying to prep one house for renting. The dipstick that put the sliding glass door in used plain pine for the sill...I had rot all the way down through the plate to the foundation. good times. Oh, and I may have a broken bone in my hand. I have to make an appt tomorrow if the swelling and movement don't improve.
I picked up our new washer and dryer and the factory forgot to attach the top part of the dryer!! I may have said a few things that wouldn't be approved by my church-going friends here.
I apologize again for not being on much but as you know moving is time consuming. I've been eating well though I've had a few more beers than I really need. I'm still killing water (minimum 8 usually more).
I'm starting the challenge today please join me if you'd like.
Happy to hear about Kathy's foot getting better, Margaret's appt and Katie's water (though I will push you to reach 6 cups).
My sister-in-law is puzzled by my wanting to interact so much with people I don't know. I told her that it's perfect because I feel more motivated by all of you and there is no drama that comes with everyday in-person friends. though perhaps when I win the lottery I will pay to have us all meet!
alright, enough chit-chat...go kick some *kitten*!0 -
Awww Bill, sorry for your hand and the dryer and the sill! That is such a bummer. And enjoy the beers...it's hot and you're working hard! Hang in there!!!
And I won $50 today on a $1 scratch tix, probably enough to send you a bus ticket so you can help with the next wood schlepping party!!! There might be a little left over for some beers!! LOL0 -
Wow Bill, I'm sorry to hear about your hand, how did it happen? You know you won't get any handicap points with our exercise challenge my friend :0)
Exciting news on my end, I was able to walk .25 mile in my neighborhood without PAIN at a fairly decent pace!!!! I haven't been able to do that since last August! It really made my day.
Day 1 - total exercise calories burned = 257
Game on people - where do we stand?0 -

I was trying to get the cover off of the pool pump last sunday and it was really stuck on there so I leaned into and it released quickly and my hand hit one of the nuts on a clamp. I thought it was just a bruise (and it still may be) but it really swelled mid-week so I'm second guessing it just being a bruise. No excuses from me. I'll get the challenge done!0 -
I have been a bit slack on posting for a few months as I have been hitting the books and preparing to sell my house (loads of painting etc.), but I have kept up with my goals e.g. ran 18km yesterday morning.
How is everyone elses goals going?0 -
Hi Faw10001, Bill gave us a challenge to burn 4000 calories withing 14 days. We're on day 2.
Went to PF and tried the treadmill. Only could get it up to 2.4 for 10 min. before my ankle started bothering me. Gosh, I remember after my 5 min. warmup I got it up to 4.0!! Will I ever see those days again?
Day 2 - burned 145 calores add that to yesterday = 402 calories burned.
Not sure how I'm going to fit my exercise in tomorrow. Have a retirement workshop to go to - hey a person can dream can't she!! It goes til 8:30 PM. I'm going to set my alarm to get up a 1/2 hour early and work out before going to work. Ugh....it's going to be a long, long day!0 -
I found my HRM monitor last night in all of the unpacking. I am estimating for last night but probably around 200 cals moving the old (new but damaged) to Sears and then bringing home a new one and installing it, moving the new washer (193lbs) to its new location and installing it as well as walking the dog.
Finally going to break down and call the Dr. for my hand. I can't do pull-ups or push-ups right now because of the pain and those make up 1/2 my workouts. Plyometrics it is!!!
Kathy, you'll get there but don't get impatient!!!
Faw10001, please feel free to join our challenge. I am just buying a new home as well as prepping my old one for rental so I feel your pain.0 -
I swam a little and played volleyball yesterday, probably 200+ calories. Tomorrow i'll be doing half my strength routine and hopefully a good cardio if my kids cooperate. :-)0

Great job everybody, amazing what we can fit in for exercise if we really think about it!
I took the day off, went to a retirement seminar instead. Found out the earliest I can retire will be in 8 years, sounds so far away but really will creep up on me before I know it.
Glad I took the day off, found out I am definitely NOT ready for the treadmill. Plan on sticking to the crosstrainer and bike for now. I'll get back on track tomorrow. This weekend I should be able to burn tons of exercise calories by gardening so I'll make up for today.

Day 1 = 257
Day 2 = 145

Geez....am I the only one in this challenge? I guess that a good thing, I like winning :bigsmile:
Got 297 exercise calories in by walking .25 mile in my neighborhood and using the stationary bike. Stats as follows:
Day 1 = 257
Day 2 = 145
Day 3 = 0
Day 4 = 297
Total = 699
Til tomorrow!0 -
I didn't have to run today, but I did. :-)
Tues: 200
Wed: 2830 -
Bill, very sorry to hear about your hand. Don't let it stop your progression sweetheart.
I hope the move doesn't kill you. It's great you unboxed your monitor. I don't know what I would do without mine - it motivates me almost as much as my MFP friends do.
I'll join our newest challenge, if you all don't mind me being a few days behind.
I only have about three more weeks to reach my goal of 110lbs by July 4th, so I'm going to have to pedal to the medal it and I may need you guys to further push me hard and cheer me on...

Kathy,
You and I are friends, but you've got a few days on me, it looks like...
I plan on meeting your calories, toe to toe, and I'll raise you a few hundred...
(friendly challenge, of course, but I plan on kicking butts, just the same). :flowerforyou:

I just finished putting the new weight machine together for my residents at work. so of course I had to try it out. I was able to do pull-ups and chin-ups with only minimal discomfort in my hand!! So I cranked out a set of each with a set of bench presses in the middle. I will do a few more around 4:00 before I leave.
It is hard to track calories burned with all the moving and renovating at the old house but I know I burning a ton.
I can't post here from my phone so nights really suck.
Kathy and Margaret, good job so far.

Wait, goals? We're supposed to have goals? I thought I'd just log on day after day and post my diet and exercise log, showing off the fact that I can stay the same weight for an extended period of time. Because that's the point, right? To stay the same weight and not make or have or reach any actual goals? Right? Cause let me tell you, this is hard work, staying stagnant and fat. I try not to exercise too much or eat too healthy, lest I lose sight of what's really important: Eating desserts while sitting on the couch, watching movies on Netflix. I am aware of the fitness videos on Netflix, yes, but I have successfully avoided those. Thank God. Cause then I might actually have to set a "goal" that I would then feel obligated to "reach."
*kitten*. At least I'm not gaining.0 -
