What a great quote, Jurney.

I rode the bike for 5.67 miles and have powerwalked 5.2 miles. The walking was a little less today than yesterday but my left knee is really crying out (osteo arthritis) so I have to listen to it. I went longer on the bike though!

Eating is going well too. I've been salading it every night this week and loving that. I think my body loves the greens!

Well I got everything laid out to get up early today to hit the gym. When the alarm went off, I thought I snoozed it. I then woke up over an hour later and struggled to get to work on time. Not to mention, I had to drop off a 90 pound puppy at the groomer. What a way to start the day. I did prepare my breakfast last night ahead of time. When I got to work, they had a morning meeting and had lots of breakfast catered in leftover. As I went through the line, I got fruit, scrambled eggs and sausage. I finished it off with an apple juice. I am scared to add it all up. but as I'm sitting here thinking about it, I really don't have a good idea of the # of calories in the breakfast I made ahead of time. I guess that needs to be figured out.

Debra I can sympathize on the osteo arthritis. I have had my left knee operated on 7 times. The 7th was a complete replacement at the age of 34. So there are definitely times where I am achy. I really overdid it landscaping last Saturday and paid for it for 3 days. Just today, I feel like I can walk down the steps normally. I think my biggest issue is that I feel like since I got my knee replaced that I should be able to do "anything". I want to run 5Ks and stuff. However, it just flat out hurts. I need to accept that I need to be a cycling, elliptical, swimmer, zumba type of girl. It's hard though. I feel like running burns lots of calories. However, spin class does too. Just gotta get my butt out of bed and make it happen.

lol I totally slept through my alarm too. Thankfully I managed to get a quick shower in and upstairs before the elderly man I take care of attempted to fix his own breakfast!

I try to walk an hour everyday and I want to start adding time soon, most days I am under my calories and always used to be under my sodium but lately my sodium has been over I need my goal to be to get my sodium under control, I was on 3 pills for high blood pressure and was taken off of one of them and want to be off the other 2 not be put back on the 3rd one.

Got a quick 15 minute power walk in with a colleague before the rain hit, so I made the 30+ minute mark today. Yay!

(And yes, Mary, dancing ABSOLUTELY counts! Go log it! )

I was planning on doing my workout vid today but just couldn't get the motivation. but after supper me the baby and the dog went for an hour walk and I am doing great for my calorie intake. good day:)

I just finished 40 minutes on the treadmill -- 2.36 miles, 1,082 elevation gain and burned 471 calories!!!!

hi, first i would like to thank you for starting the challenge. second, as i finished my first year of college, and started my summer break two days ago,......... i started to fall back again. i was home all day today and every time i would just open the fridge and grab something, i don't know what to do now! first, i used to spend the whole day in college and go to the fitness house and then head off to work. i just need help now because i don't want to go back to what i was before. This also happened last year, i began to loose weight during the school year and as soon as summer began, the weight started to kick in......
