    I have a friend who is newly married, husband travels alot. She moved to his hometown and is having some tough times adjusting to life in a new area. I just let her vent and get it all out then we spent a bit of time just laughing and making her day a bit brighter.

    I've been very lazy working on my friend's computer (she really could use a decent one for the kids but can't afford one so I'm doing it purely gratis and when I say lazy, I mean we're working on 6 months now and it's really not that difficult). So, I got rolling on it getting things in gear (warranty claims, fun times) and taking a look at my mother-in-law's computer that needs a new cpu fan. Got to put my skills to some good use today and help out those who aren't good with computers. Now time to work on those jumping jacks...I'll let my capo know to spread the word if I manage to get through them after it cools down a bit (balmy 88 degrees in the house atm). Thanks!
  • Helped a lady I know with weight loss tips. 100 jumping jack exterminated. I'll be back...

    *TEAM SACRIMONI**

    So I have decided to workout with a friend. I am going to be her motivation to lift weights (which we did today) and she is going to try to make me a runner (which we tried today) I was so slow I felt bad she had to deal with me! But hopefully it will get better. Also, I always check in with my sister (who is on another team) to make sure she is doing the daily challenge (dont want her getting whacked)!!


    100+ jumping jacks done!

    A friend recently reached out to me telling me how the work outs I post on Facebook have really inspired her to get back into shape. I have been giving her tips and new recipe ideas trying to help her get motivated again to loose weight and get healthier.

    100 jumping jacks done! Then my niece wanted to do burpees, so that turned into a 30 min strength/cross training work.out! So I was helped today too:-)

    Money has been tight for my roommate and her boyfriend so I thought I would cook dinner for all of us. It's nothing big but they certainly appreciated it. Also, downloaded an app that makes a tiny donation to charity for every mile you run/walk/jog.

    Team Blundetto- I visited a friend who has been off work since February due to a knee injury. She had surgery a month ago and is very bored/frustrated/lonely and sad that people from work have sort of forgotten her. She loves walking and I knew this nice weather would make her miss it even more so I stopped in for a nice visit to distract her.
    100 jumping jacks done. But not in front of my friend- that would negate the nice part lol!

    My sister just had her 3rd baby. This is both selfish and kind because I enjoyed it, but I went over there this evening an spent some time taking care of the kiddos so she could have a break. She had an errand to run and got out of the house for a bit. I think she really appreciated it! :)

    And 100 JJ's are done!!

    This is a different kind of nice deed.

    My favorite aunt is overweight and a major diet soda drinker-- that stuff is HORRIBLE for you!!! I'm concerned about her health and want her to be around for a long time, so I've been trying to get her to sample some of my teas while she is currently visiting me. She kept refusing by saying she wasn't a tea drinker, but when we were at Teavana today I managed to get her to sample some teas and she found some she loved! I even managed to get her a discount on her purchase there. She announced to me that she is giving up soda in favor of tea now-- I am so pleased that she has a healthy new indulgence.

    Our neighbors went in vacation for a few weeks and a heat wave has hit us for the week so I figured I would water and take care of their grass and flowers so they don't come home to a dead yard when it is a lovely English garden. Oh and using my water.

    100 jumping jacks done too! Team SACRIMONI.

    A friend of mine commented that she wish she could go get her hair done but there were too many other things she needed to spend her money on. I use to be a hairdresser so I cut my friends hair today and styled her hair. She was so excited on her new look.

    100 jumping jacks

    My husband was having a bad day and he wanted some ice cream (we both had the calories for it), and so I picked him up ice cream and listened to him about his day, and offered up sympathy when he needed it :)

    Today, even though I was rushed at work, didn't really have time, and wasn't feeling well and didn't feel like being helpful to anyone (yeah, I wasn't feeling well and it shows in my diary, etc.), I offered to save a few people some time by checking info for their work in another building so they wouldn't have to. I know this doesn't sound impressive, but if you saw how I was feeling, it really was. No extra jumping jacks. In fact, no extra any workout today, and I was over in calories for one of the few times ever.

    In coaching Girls on the Run, we have 2 girls who are really struggling to both physically and emotionally get through our 3 mile practice runs. Yesterday BOTH of them completed their runs (albeit with a TON of complaining involved) but I was VERY proud of them none the less. Not only did I make a special point of acknowledging their accomplishments of achieving a new PR to the entire group, I pulled both of their moms aside and let them know how proud I was of all of their daughter's hard work.

    100 jumping Jacks complete!

    I was in the grocery store and a young woman in front of me was a little short on her total for her groceries. When I first got behind her in line I was impressed with the choices she had made as she had a lot of healthy foods. I didn't want her to have to make a decision of what vegetable to give up so I had the cashier ring it up with mine and bag it with her items. It wasn't much but it felt great to help out even just a little.

    I have been enjoying my running a lot lately. I reached out to a friend who has shown some interest but hasn't taken the initiative. We planned a run together in the fall to support each other.
