Good Morning everyone. Up early this morning for my run (C25K week 4 day 1), now having breakfast and going to do 30 minutes on the stepper in a few then I hit the shower.
What an amazing weekend! My hubby is now officially on his 2 week vacation and i plan on making the MOST of it. Hoping for a trip to the zoo with our boys today which should help me get some major stepping for today.
I’m feeling amazing this morning and the number on the scale this morning may have something to do with it. I kept very active all weekend but also over indulged quite a bit yesterday so I was not expecting to see a loss at all this morning. I don’t want to get too excited cause it can always be a fluke. I did hop on like 6 times to see if it would say anything different but it stuck to that number. Fingers crossed I can maintain the rest of the week. 🤞🏻

Amazing! Glad to hear you're pushing on with C25K! I just managed W5R3 last night which was a real killer (20 mins run). Makes you feel so good and strong though! Keep it up!mari_moulin wrote: »Good Morning everyone.

Oh man best feeling ever. I love the feeling I get after my run. I feel invincible even after I just felt like I was dying 😂🤣 great job with w5d3! Ugh that means I’ve got a full 20 minutes to run next week!! Omg! I’m surely gonna die then. 😳2 -

That's exactly what I thought! But once you get there, hopefully you'll be pumped enough to give it a go. Got to be honest, the last 4 minutes were a real struggle! Let us know how it goes!2 -

Will do. In the meantime I gotta survive week 4 lol.0 -
Gotta be very careful of my time today through Wednesday (bussing to a off-site course that is located in the building where I USED to work for over a decade!)
Building on the above exchange on feeling pumped when you get through something (in this case a run) despite feeling like you were about to DIE just before you crossed the metaphorical finish line for the day's session ....
What has given YOU that kind of rush and top-of-the-world feeling? It can be exercise related, or finally holding that diploma in your hand, or all that job searching effort culminating in signing a Letter of Offer .... think wide and let us applaud you!2 -

Still super happy with these numbers. I've been at the beach the past week and not wearing my fitbit all the time. I can't believe I was successful with my weigh-in as I was, with all the family events and 4th of July. Whew! I'm hosting relatives a bit longer and then I can get home and spend some time reading here.

Just finished 15 minutes on my Gazelle. I will eventually increase the time! Today I need to finish painting my daughters room after church so that will be some exercise too! Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!
Way to go!!! Tomorrow 16 minutes. I would help you paint if I was there. 😊🖌
Thanks my favorite Aunt! The girls switched rooms and Marie’s now room really needed to be painted and it’s huge! I got half of it done and now the other half which didn’t happen today. Took a Sunday afternoon nap! But I have all week!
Please please please - come to my house and paint. There are rooms that have been waiting for me to paint them for over 20 years. It just isn't my thing - I need you!!!
I don’t mind painting a bit! It’s just getting started. 😜 The end result always makes me feel good!2 -
Happy Monday!
I'm behind on my nagging, so I'll start with that
Great start to the Monday weigh-ins from @zlauerMom - well done!
Remaining Monday Mavens:

@tdrjustus3
Now. No more nagging for the moment.
Progress on the GREEN JULY challenge:
All the participants pledged 92.5 pounds to lose this month. There are 80.8 remaining to lose, which means we took off 11.7 pounds in the first week. YES! But we have four weeks to go (counting this one) so that means we have to pick up the pace a bit! Or revise some of those pledges. We need to lose just over 20 pounds a week until the end of July, and we are 21 people who have pledged. That's only one pound per week each if we average it out - so let's go! We can do this. I have a good feeling about it.
As to things that give the SUPER WOW I DID THIS even though I almost didn't make it. Lots of my concert performances have been like that, but by concert time, it is not usually with the feeling I'm not going to make it even when it is really hard. The practice sessions beforehand, mind you - that is where all the hard slogging comes in. Some rehearsals I come out of there soaking wet, shaking my head, wondering if we'll ever master it. But we usually do! Probably the most exhilarating exercise moments have been hiking and reaching the peak (AT LAST) and having spectacular views, or making it at the end of a long day to somewhere I can just dump everything on the ground and jump into some cold water. Back in the day when I was braver and crazier, I had a horse who took me everywhere we wanted to go. We did some cross country jumping courses, and he could gallop and jump like a fool. We had some great moments, but it was a lot of work to get him to that point and to get myself strong and supple enough to do it together. Now I ride a stallion (the world's politest, but still Mr. On. Guard. ) and we have some pretty great moments, but both of us are more into quieter rides than I used to do, so it isn't as big an effort any more.
All this to say, I need more of that flat out effort these days. I do hard workouts that get me going and give that feeling of YAY at the end, but it is time for some more exciting or interesting things. Going kayaking tomorrow (hopefully) - 10 km on a gorgeous river. That might do it! Shoulders, are you ready??4 -

Getting started is where I am completely stuck at all times. I freak out over picking the colours. I get little samples, put on a tiny splotch and decide it's horrible. I never go back. Or I never even get to that stage. I think I need to hire someone to do this for me!1 -

Once upon a time we were making barely enough money to cover expenses and deeply in debt. We scrimped and saved and struggled for over a year, and managed to pay for a 2 week tour of Japan, a place we'd both always dreamed of going.
The travel was, all told, 24 hours long and I barely slept on the plane, so when we got there I was a zombie, but as we stood in Osaka airport and realized we were there, for real, we grabbed hands and ran around all over the place giggling like hyperactive children.
That was a wild rush of excitement.5 -
Wow! That'll teach me to oversleep til nearly 11 am! Y'all have been busy posting stuff! I've enjoyed reading them. I have 9 days (or less) until I'm back to work, so I really better be practicing getting back into my normal sleeping routine. As much as I love being off from work for summer breaks, the unstructured time can really throw me off (or I allow it to).
Anyway, I'll post later about what I feel "pumped" about once I've accomplished it. I've got lots on my to-do list today that I want to get through. Plus I'm still waiting to hear about any one of the 3 jobs I applied for me. Now that 4th of July weekend is over, hopefully, today is the day. We'll see.4 -
@fourathomej - you are doing just fine. Even if your posting is minimal for chit chat, you are doing brilliantly with steps and weigh-ins! Do not worry. We just want to hear about everything after things calm down
