    I cannot believe that I haven't mentioned this before....evidently my head's been in the sand.

    So, I work for a college and today is final day of our homecoming event (reunions, cont. educ. seminars, parties, etc, etc, etc). It means long hours (Thursday - Saturday), but lots of fun.

    I totally forgot to tell you guys who are closing speaker is......Bob Harper. Biggest Loser's Bob Harper. I love that show and love Bob and I cannot believe that I get to be in the same building as him in 1 hour. I'm so very, very excited. I have my camera so if I can get a decent photo, I'll post it tomorrow.

    Andrew I see that your ticker went under 200, isnt that a great feeling. I loved it when I saw mine

    I will do my 150 jump n jacks in a few, have my brother in law and mother and law here visiting for daughters birthday.

    I did 6 miles this morning with the baby on my pouch, and after they all leave I will be doing my 30 day shred from Jillian Micheals. and get my butt kicked

    Well off to visit with the family.

    Good new black team. Just got an email from the triathlon folks. A spot opened in the duathlon and I am in. So I don't have to worry about the swim. I'm gonna keep swimming to I can start doing triathlons next season. But now I can focus on the running and cycling. I only have two weeks!!!!

    So instead of doing the following
    Fireman Sprint Triathlon

    Swim 1/3 mile, bike 15 miles and run 3.2 miles.

    I will be doing:
    Fireman Duathlon

    Run 2 miles, bike 15 miles then run 3.2

    Starting the think the swim might have been easier....lol

    andrew...glad the duathalon opened up.... Seems a better fit right now-- way to go on the ticker, my friend.

    everyone-- didn't have time to scan-- sending love to all.

    Jumping jacks? Two words -- Noah's Flood.

    Not happening troops-- sorry. Try squeezing 9 watermelons out of a grapefruit sized opening and see how much control you have-- I'm lucky if I can walk across the street and stay dry.

    Yeah, I know, andrew-- tmi-- deal with it. This was your challenge.:grumble:

    Safe and sound in illinois....met golfer nancy lopez....sweet lady.

    No kids. No schedule. Lounged by a pool. I'm feeling very weird-- like I stepped outside my body and am watching someone else's life.

    but-- oh well-- it's lovely here, just the same. Heading out to run.

    later.

    Marla- keep relaxing and enjoy your vacation! I love my kids but I sure do love time away from them too. I'm always ready to see them again, but the time to myself is still nice.

    Getting ready for a small picnic at our house today. I'm making good choices if it kills me! I'm not making any fattening bad for me crap and I hope nobody else brings anything that will call to me. :laugh: I already made sugar free fat fee jello and I'm making an angle food cake and cutting up strawberries for on it. That should satisfy my sweet tooth, but if cookies march in here and sit on my counter..... ugh!

    I love authentic Mexican places...such amazing REAL food! On our anniversary, BF and I finally went to this restaurant that several of his co-workers had recommended (after some serious convincing on my part, as he'd never been to an authentic place)...and I'm glad to say he has seen the light. No more of that chain crap!

    And yay for the hot green sauce!

    YUMMY!!!! I love mexican food, could seriously eat it for every meal and not get tired of it. The restaurant here in the town very close to us is real Mexican food. The owners got their American citizenship a few years ago and he was so very proud. The food there is so very very yummy!

    Went for a walk / run this afternoon. I didn't want to but made myself get the girls in the car, get the bike loaded up and get the stroller in. Between pushing the stroller and running burnt 300 calories in 40 minutes. It felt good. There is a 5K coming up here in about three weeks and I was excited but now I think I am chickening out. :embarassed:

    Got my jumping jacks in, today was the first day. It is amazing what decent undergarments can do for this challnege. Went yesterday to actually get fitted and they said I had the worst fit they had ever seen. It was one of the reasons I quit last spring, it hurt to exercise. Now that is not an excuse, that is the truth and the other part of the truth to that is that I was plain LAZY!

    Andrew, this challenge is great. Kicking my butt, just what I need. Thank you!
