    @Robin~You’ve received lots of great advice regarding shoes. My two cents for what it’s worth is to go to a specialty shoe store the first time—they will watch you walk and measure your feet to be sure you get a proper shoe. After you do that you can find them online cheaper thru lots of retailers. When I tore my Achilles and came out of a boot (after 8 long, grueling months) I was told to go to the New Balance store to be fitted for some with a roll bar (like Kaye mentioned), they really helped to stabilize my foot while I regained strength. I can’t wear New Balance any longer (too wide), but love Brooks (Glycerin, Ghost and Adrenaline are my faves) and my Asics. Personally, I do like a lighter weight shoe--just my preference.

    @Katrena~Glad you had such a good time on your Alaskan cruise; I took one two years ago and :love: it! I’m actually take a B2B Alaskan cruise in 2015 I loved it so much. :wink:

    @KarenL~Congrats on the new job!

    @Susan~Sorry for your stress at work (I can certainly relate), I hope things settle down soon.

    AFM~Unfortunately, I didn’t get a raise which I pretty much anticipated since raises were frozen for 2014. My boss did talk to me about upcoming changes in my position in the next six months, which would quantify a higher salary--hopefully he'll follow thru. The day did end on a high note; my Canada cruise is on in October! Just 142 days, not that I’m counting. :laugh: No time for gym yesterday, session with trainer tonight—hoping we can kick things up a notch even though I’m still a wing short. :wink:

    Wow Thursday all ready...... Truth is even though my puppy is not the best walking friend (he loves to go towards people cuz he wants them to pet him) I love taking him for a walk every night for an hour.

    Welcome Schnickle - Is that a Morgan in your profile pic?

    He is actually a Morab (Jericho's Magnum Force aka"Jerry" - (Moro Hill Magnum x Ari's Black Diamond) 1992 Morab Gelding ) I was showing him for a friend, I also own a large Morab Mare...love those Morgan necks!!!!!!!

    Truth - I lack internal motivation to get me to the gym or doing anything. I rely on outside motivation from others which is also lacking at the moment.

    I lost my 24 year old National Show Horse in 2008. I'd had him since he was a weanling. I miss him something awful. I always said if I got another horse it would be a foundation stock Morgan. I just love the old look of them. Thick bodies, short coupled, heavy neck, and adorable heads.

    Thursday truth: I blew my appointment to have my teeth cleaned this morning because I didn't take an antibiotic. Apparently it is essential to take an antibiotic before dental work for 2 years following knee replacement surgery. Rescheduled for next week. Did I mention that I really hate getting my teeth cleaned?
    We are going out of town to do some shopping and pick up a part for the lawn mower deck. I walked to and from the dental office so I got my exercise this morning. It was cold for water aerobics this morning, but we survived.
    Mileage for 5/29: 4.3 (combined walking and water aerobics)
    Onward and downward. Kaye

    Sorry I cant participate in the walking challenge until this fracture heals, but I do plan to do deep water aerobics as soon as I get back from St Simeon's Island which is a nice beach area on the Georgia coast. Will be gone for 5 days and plan to relax by pool after practicing on my Yamaha keyboard which I am taking along. My daughter teaches piano so she can help me with this when she gets in from her conference. Having a good day today except for my water. Need to pre-plan that also.

    My Thursday truth is that I am probably stronger than I think I am.


    KAH68 - i'M ALREADY THINKING ABOUT WHEN I CAN GO BACK

    MN WALKING QUEEN - YOUR NEW PIC IS SO BEAUTIFUL. LOVE YOUR HAIR

    MYMOWMOW - You are so close to your goal

    Karenleona - Congratulations on your job. That is awesome. Having worked in Disability claims, statistically most folks that are disable for two years or longer dont recover, but it sounds like you really achieved a lot.

    Hansea - Thanks for your kind words. I would feel stronger if my husband would move out, but he keeps procrastinating.

    bevkaysmith - You are making a good start and have great reasons for making this change. I know you will make it is you log and post

    @RobinB That was the Color Run 5K. I've done about 3 of the color runs and then 1 regular timed 5K. I need to get back in to running, but it's so HOT here in Florida! And although I have no issues working out in the gym, I really really hate the treadmill and it hates me too! Once I'm back in school for Summer B I'll have access to the indoor track at the college.

    @PaintedCalvary - I am in Florida too, Broward County. Where are you? A group of us did the Color Run in Ft Lauderdale a few weeks ago. I can so relate to the heat! Ugh! I think it's the reason why I have been in such a fitness funk lately!

    Hello everyone. It took awhile but I caught up on all the posts. I want to wish a belated Happy bday to robin and kaye. I am happy to see everyone else seems to be trudging right along. I came in under calories for the first time in quite a few days today. May this be the start of a long streak:happy: My truth for Thursday is I give into my own urgings way to often. I have to learn to shut the bad little voice in my head up. With that said I am going to toddle off to bed. I havent been sleeping well so I have been sleepy during the last couple of days. Take care until tomorrow.:flowerforyou: :heart: :drinker: :drinker:

    Hi guys! :flowerforyou:

    I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling exhausted. Not sure why short holiday weeks always feel longer to me. I'm also skipping personals tonight.

    Thursday Truth:
    I'm logging but not doing great with food choices. In all I'm over by about 1000 calories for the month, so not terrible overall, but I know I should be better. :ohwell: I also still never got to the gym this week; however, I did run 3 miles outside yesterday. Today gunner and I did a 2 mile walk, and tomorrow I will rest for my 5k on Saturday morning. It's earlier than I like to run (8 am :yawn: ), but I will suck it up and do my best. It will be my first timed race since last August. :noway: I'm hoping to come close to my PR which is 35:59.

    I thought this week would be easier with my seniors gone, but between supervising senior final exams and dealing with a student who's was out on medical and is not making up the work in a timely manner, I haven't really had a lot of "spare" time. Senior finals are now done, so I hope tomorrow is a better day.

    Grading Goals:
    1.38/52 Junior research papers

    Exercise goals:
    Mon--walk gunner DONE + yard work DONE
    Tues--walk gunner NOT DONE (rain) + gym NOT DONE
    Wed--walk gunner RAN OUTSIDE INSTEAD
    Thurs--walk gunner DONE + gym NOT DONE
    Fri--rest day
    Sat--Animal House Shelter 5k
    Sun--walk gunner + gym

    Goal Mileage: 80 Miles

    5/26 = 3 miles
    5/27 = 0 miles
    5/28 = 3 miles
    5/29= 2 miles
    5/30= miles
    5/31= miles

    AimeeMarie - you are so sweet - thanks for your kind offer - I have no idea how many miles short I am - Duh!

    KarenLeona - wow - its amazing how much progress you've made - I am continually impressed by you. You really are the standard, and don't deny it because you get frustrated with yourself, because you are truly consistant. Heck, you keep coming back here for more abuse - isn't that consistant? :bigsmile:

    I got my walking/running shoes today. I ended up buying Asics Gel Preleus in a size larger (11) than I've ever worn before and golley they are way more comfy than my old shoes. I'be been walking around my home in them all nite and its so nice! Never heard of the style until I got into the store, but the fit sold me. Very airy tops which will be great here in the Nebr. heat and humidity this summer. Winter its heavy socks and boots and leather shoes if ts nice enough to walk.

    Well, like the last many posters, I'm tired too and headed for bed. Nitey nite!

    Oh, Queen, so glad your enjoying your HOUR walk with your puppy - wow thats long!

    Hey Y’all!
    I’m determined to get caught up and get all my personals in tonight while I wait for Hubby to come home from work so be warned… This one’s gonna be a doozy!

    First and foremost, everyone has been doing an Ahh-Mazing job on their mileage! You guys Rock the Casbah!
    To the New People of the Thread: WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME! (Insert fanfare here) If you haven’t figured it out already, you have stumbled upon one of the brightest gems on the MFP community boards! You will find not only help and encouragement here, you might also find yourself a part of this huge crazy family that has been cultivated thanks to our lovely RobinsEgg! Pull up a comfy chair, stay a while, jump in when you can, and enjoy the ride while we all navigate this bumpy road together.

    And on to the rest of ya! LOL!
    @ KarenLeona – You Go Girl! You are Killing it on the bike! Enjoy your trip to see your son!

    @ Tom – I think I gained a pound just looking at the food pics! Whew! Makes me want to come out to Vegas just so you can take us to all the good eating places! I am also upset by not being told ahead of time about World Whiskey Day… It’s on my calendar for next year though! Hubby wants to go to a whiskey bar called Dram for his birthday on Saturday. I have a feeling that at least one of us will make up for missing WWD this year. LOL!

    @ Hansea – I love the idea of walking 5k as a family! I bet that it would be fun to do something like the Color Run with your kiddos! Sounds like they are enjoying mommy getting healthy!

    @ JNettie – Girl! You’ve got to stay on your feet! Hope that the skinned leg is feeling better! The Quinoa pilaf sounds really yummy. I’m going to have to try that one too! Wow! It looks like your summer might be pretty busy after all work wise! Woot! Ohmygosh your floors are Beautiful!

    @ Queen – Welcome Back! We all stumble (some of us literally!) and it takes courage to get up, wipe yourself off and start again. You Can Do This! And we’ve got your back girl!

    @Robin B – The Zoo 5k sounded Awesome! Congrats on your time! I love the zoo, but the humid summer heat just makes it miserable. Thankfully our little zoo here has a small splash pad for cooling off. I’m confused, What are DOM’s? I feel like such an exercise dummy sometimes, but I’m trying to learn!

    @ Ushki – Ooh! Bouncy Castles and Birthdays! Fun! Did you sneak in a little jump time for yourself? I sure would have tried! LOL! Bless your little Zucchinis! I’m still pulling for your garden! I never did get my okra seed to come up so I’m going to try my hand at some lettuce and micro greens in the spots I was going to have the okra. I have several tiny cherry tomatoes on the vines and can’t wait to pick that first one! I was really late in getting baskets around them and finally got that done today. The poor plants had already started falling over. Oops!

    @ MowMow – I’m so sorry that it didn’t work out with the doggy! Don’t give up if you want a pup. One will be a good fit and when it’s right, it will be Awesome! Good Luck!

    @ Humble – It’s so nice to see you back! Hop on up here, you can sit by me on the wagon! LOL!

    @ Rain – YAY for finishing finals! I hope you’ve been enjoying your rest time before work starts for the summer.

    @ Susan – Glad to see you back! I love the poem you shared. The food show sounds amazing!

    @ Tanya – What the What!?! You are SO CLOSE to Onederland! Woot!

    @ LittleShadow – Bless your sweet heart! I’m so sorry that things have been so crazy at home with the boys! I hope that they have begun to settle down a bit for you. What are we gonna do with that bad ankle of yours? That thing needs to straighten up and fly right for sure.

    @ Robin – Bless your heart honey. Your health, then your friend, and now your family… I swear, I wish I could just come out there and bring you home with me! I just don’t understand family sometimes. Hubby’s family is oddly disconnected too .They love and care about each other, but just don’t visit each other often and when they do, an hour or so and they are ready to go. It’s weird to me and took me a long time to get used to.

    @ Lin – Nice to see that you are still following along with us! I hope all is well with you!

    @ Naceto – Glad to see you too! LOL about the Massage therapist noticing how toned you are getting! Way To GO!

    @Kah – Poor thumb! I hope that the splint helps and that the MRI comes out clean! I’m terrible at “phoning” with my thumbs, swype is definitely my friend!

    @ TLH – Thank Goodness you got the house! WOOT!

    @ KJeffries – Welcome back from your cruise! It sounded so awesomely beautiful! Might have to put an Alaskan cruise on my bucket list!

    AFM – I have Finally broken the 50# lost mark! I’ve been scared of this mark since I started since I’ve never quite gotten past it before with my weight loss. Thank goodness this time I’ve got all of you to help keep me motivated, and more support and drive than ever before to get this weight off! I’m not looking forward to my next goal of 250# which isn’t very far away, but it’s my next nemesis to slay. I also had a cool NSV today. While at Wal Mart I decided to try on some new capri’s to see what my “real” size is (I’ve been only shopping for pants out of my closet so far). I tried on a size 26 and it was really loose around the waist. I bit the bullet and tried on a size 24 and they fit albeit a smidge on the snug side. I didn’t buy any, but I have actually reached a size that I can get just about anywhere! Happy Dance!!! Hubby’s birthday is tomorrow and he is planning on us doing it up right. I may not log food since I know it will be way over. On the other hand, maybe I will log it just to have it on record!

    Rest Well My Lovelies for Tomorrow We Battle!

    Damensha, congrats on hitting the 50# mark! I am stalled at 42 at the moment and so frustrated. 50# is a LOT of weight and you should be very proud. :) As for my boys, we are headed back to their specialist in the next couple of weeks. Can't remember if I mentioned this, maybe awhile ago, but my eldest has high functioning autism and adhd, and my youngest has adhd-impulsive type, so there's never a dull moment in this house. I'm still out of commission with this ankle, although stubbornly still doing walk away the pounds videos to try to stay active... it's not *quite* as bad as walking outside on the uneven ground/sidewalks. :tongue: My physiotherapist is also at a loss as to how to fix it, it's been a long old haul. It does look like I'm going to have most of the summer off, which should help some.
  • @RobinB That was the Color Run 5K. I've done about 3 of the color runs and then 1 regular timed 5K. I need to get back in to running, but it's so HOT here in Florida! And although I have no issues working out in the gym, I really really hate the treadmill and it hates me too! Once I'm back in school for Summer B I'll have access to the indoor track at the college.

    @PaintedCalvary - I am in Florida too, Broward County. Where are you? A group of us did the Color Run in Ft Lauderdale a few weeks ago. I can so relate to the heat! Ugh! I think it's the reason why I have been in such a fitness funk lately!

    I'm up in Jacksonville. So way way up there! The last color 5K I actually did by myself. I was so proud that I still talked myself in to going even though I didn't know anyone there. It was much harder running alone, but I did it!

    And yes, this heat is getting to be unbearable. I spent 3 hours last night moving dirt with the backhoe, shoveling dirt, and compacting it to be ready for the concrete today. Even though it was evening time and not sunny it still had me sweating in less than 5 minutes. That and the yellow flies. UGH!


    Now that it's Friday, this weekend I am going to be super busy working on the barn so I don't think I have to worry about working out, but as for eating... By the time we get done working outside all day the LAST thing we want to do is cook. So I'm assuming we'll be eating out for dinner and eating sandwiches for lunch.

    Oh and I resisted donuts all day yesterday that our CAT rep brought in. And blew it this morning when there was only one left. It had to be my favorite one. But before I'd usually eat 2, so bonus right? Weigh-in this morning has me at the same as last week, which is good because I've actually lost 4lbs since Monday after the unexpected weight gain.

    Happy Friday! For a short week it's seemed so darn long. After my long walk tomorrow morning, I will have accomplished my goal for May. I've decided on 80 miles for June to accommodate a rest day now and then and a vacation. I also am going to track my days at or under calorie goal.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    Truth - I lack internal motivation to get me to the gym or doing anything. I rely on outside motivation from others which is also lacking at the moment.

    I am so with you on this...at the moment. I had a work out partner and we worked out EVERY morning together, my schedule changed, her schedule changed and I am just out of sorts now. SHE was my motivation and the one that pushed me past my "not wanting to move". It has a made a difference in my life for sure. Now with having said that, we have no one to blaime but ourselves if we "choose" not to work out, but it sure is nice to have some one pushing....SOOOO....I will get my goal of 7,000 steps in today if you set one goal for yourself and reach it as well :flowerforyou: We can do this!!!!

    @Holly~Its great that you’re getting in a one-hour walk with your puppy every night, I’m sure he appreciates it too. :wink:

    @Jenn~Congrats on hitting your 50# milestone, amazing achievement! Keep rockin’ it.

    @Heidi~I’m sorry you and your ankle been benched from walking outside, I can certainly relate to the frustration.

    @Tom~:love: it! I love Irish whiskey too, but tend to keep Jim Beam bourbon/whiskey around (Jacob’s Ghost).

    AFM~I’m with everyone else, for a short week it sure seemed long—I’m tired from the week, so glad its Friday. I hope to make it to the gym for some cardio today, may go to my trainer’s studio for cardio on his incline trainer tomorrow—if not, the gym definitely. Yesterday, we were able to buy our plane tix to LaGuardia for the cruise for under $300—a steal. I’m looking at tix for CO in August and they are high—how I wish Southwest Airlines flew into the airport near my sister. :grumble:

    I have no way of tracking mileage at the moment (I will get a FitBit soon!)...

    But I did want to jump in and say I hit my first 10 pounds lost and I am pretty excited about it! Makes me feel like I can keep doing this thing. :)
