Bring IT! Part III: Team No Excuses in March

usually i bike to the bus stop (15 minutes away) and then walk the last 15 minutes to school every day. but today? the busses are on strike!!! which means i get to bike ALL the way to school and back (over 2 hours). i logged this in as exercise and was psyched to see that my cummute burns almost 1000 cals.
but i do have a possibly stupid question... doesn't my body get "used" to this routine and ignore its effects after a while? i ask because i was biking into school every single day last year from may to october and trust me, i never lost any weight!
a friend said that when your body gets used to doing the same thing every day, it doesn't concider it real work anymore. i mean, i might burn a few hundred calories, but no where near 1000.
once the weather warms up (hopefully next week) i'll be biking in every day again - someone, please give me some good news!

Hey everyone! I am still to sick to do any hard core exercising. So, just taking it easy with another DVD. I hope to kick this crap soon!

I weighed in today and lost 1.1 lbs! Yea! I am happy with that. And according to the Wii, I am finally in the normal range for my BMI! I am on my way of trying on my bridesmaid dress, just not yet.

I hope everyone has a great day. I probably will not be on here since I have major studying to do still.

Woohoo everyone! Mya I hope you feel better soon. Wtg Meijse, Jess, Sweet. I've kind of been falling off the boards lately because I've been really busy with school and work....Also, not to sound mean spirited, but besides our thread, I mostly get tired of hearing the same questions, time after time. Is it me, or do people not do any research before they start asking dumb questions? I mean, I understand coming here after you've done some reading, but complete ignorance has been getting to me. I guess I just would approach the situation differently than many people here. Read, research, and then ask questions to clear up other things. Ok, just venting but I'll be around quietly.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Well hopefully people are doing research, but others just want information handed to them. Also, there is a alot of conflicting information and diets out there. People aren't sure what to believe, and I think they come to fitness websites for help. Needless to say though, people are being given incorrect information even on fitness websites. :ohwell: I just try to ignore most of it, and stick to what I know works for my body.

Mya-that's great!
Sweet-keep up the good work!
Jess-take care of yourself.

M- come back. I need all y'all to keep talking about the massive amounts of exercise you do!
Bring it!
I rode the bike today at an even higher level & it was almost easy! :bigsmile:
This weekend will be tough, but there's a LOT of walking planned & I think I can stay within my plan.
How about you?
Weekend plans?

Went for a very lone walk today with my dogs. It is sooo hot here. ( not complaining though)
I'm craving Asian food from this lil restaurant in my home town. Very bad I know. It's not even really the food I miss, I just miss my old home ya know? :sad:
Anyways, I'm going to watch the new eppie of the Tudors and cheer myself up.
Happy Saturday everyone!

Wow! You're doing great - except for the booze, which won't be a real problem as long as it isn't a trend!
Just think of all the stuff you DIDN'T eat!
I'm impressed.
We just got back from my birthday trip to the beach. It was so nice. I even got up this a.m. & walked by myself on the beach. Usually I'd go if hubby would go, too. But this time I got up & said "I'm going would you like to join me?"
He didn't, but I went anyway & it was glorious.

Gosh Im pooped....plan is to get up and do my walking at 7:45am and then go to the bank and prepare for my trip on wednesday.....i hope u guys are doing ok i havent had much time to read and log in but once i get settled thursday in louisville..i will log on and catch up.....keep bringing it!

soooo happy about today!!!
it is a gorgous spring morning and it is also the first day of my women's biking group! we meet once a week to complete biking tours of belgium. tonight we'll begin with only 20 or so kilometers, but by october we are up to 60 km an evening. (that's over two hours of hard biking!).
it's an amazing way to see the belgian countryside, hang out with cool, athletic women and practice my dutch!
also, i have been training with a friend for my first 5k (in about a week and a half). we run 4-6 kilometers 2 or 3 nights a week and we're both feeling rugged and ready for the race.
i'm still logging in my calories every day and really trying to up my fruits and fresh veggies.
the last of my cold is finally kicked and i am super excited about a healthy and happy spring!
