Today's motivation from me:

Blah...I think this is my last week. I know I won't hit the miles goal and I am heading out of town today so weighed myself today instead of tomorrow and it isn't pretty. I'll post my miles done to help out with the team goal and if by some miracle I am still here next week I will hopefully be back in the groove of exercising. I think the miles just threw me with the fact that I was losing a day to going on vacation.

Sunday: 2 Miles walking the mall plus the 10 minutes of stretching
Monday: 60 minutes Dancing = 6 miles, plus 10 minutes of stretching
Tuesday: 60 minutes Circuit = 6 miles, plus 10 minutes of stretching
Wednesday: 10 minutes stretching
Thursday: 10 minutes stretching

Sorry guys. This year has been a real struggle for me to find that motivation to keep going like I did last year. There are so many things that I know should make me want to keep pushing, but for whatever reason they just aren't working this week. Will post my weigh in in the other thread.

Pam - I was half thinking the same thing myself :laugh:

Mango - Hope things settle down for you - I have added your miles on the chart

Ali - I feel sore today!!! But not sorry - long may it continue

Howdy on the reps shari had said before just do what reps I can since cardio and core are a wee bit difficult right now lol so hopefully they still work I'm doing them anyways trying to keep my ub stronf for packing around a newborn! Lol its amazing how heavy they can feel since they don't help hold on like my 2 1/2 year old lol

Yes, she told me (on a previous occasion when we had to do core reps) that you could count ANY sort of reps. So I will add your reps to the chart now.

Yes Ali and Kristin,
Sheri confirmed same to me today ... and she also said she is so proud that Kristin is staying with the challenge. Go Kristin go, you are a true inspiration. :drinker:

Yay! and Thank you you guys you keep throwing that word around but it's seriously you guys that keep me up and moving other wise the urge to sit and watch a marathon of NCIS would probably have been my goals this week lol! But instead this house is rearranged and spotless lol My hubby is going to be very surprised when he walks in tomorrow that's for sure lol but I a so sore I don't think I am going to be doing much moving other making dinner tonight Chicken burritos with refried black beans! Yum! I hope lol my pregnant brain thinks it will sound good whether or not it will are two totally different things!

And I DID weigh myself today (although had considered your idea Pam!) My family is entertaining our friends tonight and I REFUSE to be worrying about what I eat when it is my last chance to relax with my friend for who knows how long! SO the scale might not be at all pretty tomorrow :laugh: Really glad it smiled at me this morning though - totally improved my mood for today

I won't be on here until 10 am tomorrow now, but will be on then to update all your information and deal with the weigh ins.

GET THOSE LAST MINUTE MILES IN SHARKS!

Friday is always pizza night in our house! I make a homemade crust, and add sauce and light cheese. Delicious and pretty healthy! But- you shouldn't go through all that trouble! Have you seen the new stuffed crust pizza at Pizza Hut? MMM! Nom-nom!
