    I don't know how I managed to get my post in the quote above, but there you have it!

    And, just a side note, my sweet husband has never gotten rid of any of his old fishing gear...and he picked up more poles and tackle boxes to add to the pile when his father passed last year...odd. ...I'm just sayin'

    I hope you all have a terrific evening!

    Another nice day for you tazmac.

    I'm still plowing on, though had a school function tonight, which nixed the pool. Just couldn't figure out how to get to the pool, swim, get home, get the hair DRY, and back to school in 45 minutes. (It's a 30 minute drive one way... you don't by any chance have a secret time warp machine do you???) So, today for day 29 it was all campus walking - only 32 minutes. Tomorrow will be back on track... I hope!

    Hey K! 32 min of walking is 32 more than I got in today! Zippo for me! Restart round 2 tomorrow... I had university class tonight (and all day tomorrow) ... so it was work, a bite of supper - then off to class..... Good for you on DAY 29!!

    Good for you up to Day 13 again! I haven't counted a day off as a Rest day yet - I will restart my challenge again tomorrow.... I see other MFP's also take rest days - I'm thinking it's recommended somewhere... :smile:

    You made me laugh out loud at your fishing story!!! Thanks so much for sharing that!! I read it out loud to my BF.... It is calling for sun here on Sunday - so maybe we will get out again! I really do enjoy it (so far) - so that's helpful. I can see us with a lawn chair passing away some time over this summer. We are together 5 years this summer (for 3+ years he was in Ottawa, ON and I was here in NS... he is in the military - and we flew back and forth) ... he just moved home last October (2012) and we moved in together... so happy to be in the same province/town/house!!! So, we look forward to fishing this summer... and golfing .... and motorcycling... and pedal biking!! I can't wait to tell you I caught a fish!! :laugh:

    Hope you have a great weekend too!

    This should have been DAY 4 - on my second round of the challenge (got to Day 40 on the first round) - but alas .... I have classes (university course) this weekend - so it was work, supper and then off to school tonight.

    Back at it tomorrow after class...

    :drinker: Cheers!!

    You could count this as a REST DAY. Not that you rested or anything...just rested from exercising because...you can...Tomorrow should be DAY 5. I have to have one planned day off to shop with my daughter or make a new soup or read the zillion magazines I get that I keep stacking up.

    What are you taking at the university? I remember how hard it was when I went back. Crimeny!

    Great day for both of you. Not so good for me... TOM decided to visit which made a hash out of my plans for the pool. Still got a LITTLE walking in, if you count a whole 15 minutes around the class room! More at home, but I'd taken the pedometer off by then, so don't know how much that added up to. But, that was all normal chores, which isn't exactly PLANNED exercise. ::Grins and shrugs::

    Guess I scraped this one off of the rim of disaster.... Might actually acknowledge the oops, and start over tomorrow. Will have LOTS of walking - actually going to a zoo for the first time in I don't remember when!

    I am taking a Certificate in Adult Education! Really enjoying it - but down to the crunch now (every other weekend in class until presentation day 03 June).... so a bit bagged today!

    Congrats on Day 14 of your second round!!

    No exercise for me again today - that is 2 days... however, I'll be back at it in the next day or so! I really do make it part of my day no. This has just been a university weekend (Fri night and all day Saturday) - didn't sleep well last night ... and back at class this morning! All that to say - I'm knackered! not going to beat myself up about it .... logging my food and checking in... so it's all good!

    Right now I'm pushing hard on the exercise because I know in a couple of weeks when finals start, for the first few days I won't have time for anything but books. I can understand about crunch time guzzling up every waking minute you think you have for yourself. Best of luck with your class, and I'm sure you'll make an outstanding grade!

    Day 1, Round 2 - 1.5 hrs accounted for of walking by the HRM, but there's another 1.5 hrs minimum of activity unaccounted for. Think it was just so slow the HRM pedometer couldn't pick it up. All of this was walking around the OKC Zoo, so mostly hills, and VERY little flat! Knees are knalking to me right now BIG time.

    Undeclared, unexpected rest day. TOM is still visiting, which nixed the pool, and knees are still yelling about yesterday which nixed the games. ::Pouts:: Oh, well, tomorrow I begin again.

    Restart round 2

    Day 1 - lifting today with some heavy mods due to knees acting up. (I TOLD the trainer not to put the last 45 lbs on, but they piled it on any way... so no leg press "working sets"... grrrr... stiff knee after too!) 20 mins of cardio mostly on the elliptical, 7 on the treadmill (slow), and 5 on the rowing machine. Blipping knees!

    cpanus - you are almost making me envious. You're doing so good.

    You have to remember that we have no kids at home ...it's just my sweet husband and me. That makes a huge difference in how you spend your time. Plus, I just don't want to go back to the way I was...ever.

    Thank you for your nice comment.
