Hi girls,
Rachel-fitgal, I'll call you Rach if that works for you? and Yes I was talking to you in my last post. I know it does get confussing :laugh: but all these names are keeping me on my toes for my own personal memory game. I've done really well so far.

Jenna- I'm so happy to hear your survived your long week and will be back to normal. all that extra work can really wear you out. getting back to your normal routine will help. I was just watching the news and are you getting hot temps with all that rain you have? I wish we could get some rain. San Diego only gets about 4in a year and we are below about 2in. already this year. we will not see rain here until probably next Oct-Nov. It has been overcast and cool though, that is about to end also, the summer weather will kick in and we will be sunny and warm from here on out. we had a day last week that cleared up and wasn't cloudy and I got out there and got a nasty little sunburn. I couldn't wog on Fri. because of it. but i'm feeling better now, just a little itchy.

Rachel6901- I'll just call you Rachel.... I am really bad about remembering to send a personnal message, but if you check in everyday, we are always talking throughout the day. we will give you all the encouragement you need. and for today......... get out there girls :laugh:
wog, wog, wog,..:laugh:
you can do it !!!!!!!!!!:bigsmile:

Hi Abby, I will try to remember your name, and I hope we hear from you more. just jump in and tell us your story.

Well, you all have a great day, remember your DADDY"S... they are the best men on this earth...
My dad has always been the most amazing man in my life, stable, loving, strong, always there for me. I can't express how much I love him. He just turned 71 last week and he doesn't look or act any older than he did 25 yrs ago. He still works, he's a Truck Driver, he helps my mom around the house, and he can fix ANYTHING.... He is the measure of a true man, and I finally found, in my husband, a man that can measure up to my dad. My hubby is the best daddy to his girls. they are so lucky to have him. I feel so blessed these last few yrs. I never would have imagined my life would be so great as it is right now.
I just wanted to share a bit about the men in my life and give them the accolades they deserve. tell me about your dads' or hubby's.

:drinker: let's give the greatest men around a little praise today.:flowerforyou:

have a great day girls....

Rachel,
that sounds like a great plan.
just keep thinking it and you will acomplish it..

I have such a hard time getting up early to do this stuff, but I'll be back to that schedual in the Fall. it's summertime now and i get to enjoy a bit of sleeping in, " to some degree with a 3yr old."

I am not wogging today, unless i find time tonight, me and the hubby are going out to do a bit of shopping today, got a sitter for the girls and we are gone.......:bigsmile: :laugh:

I always love time for just the two of us. it's only for a couple hours .but we always have a great time.

I sometimes do when I am running/jogging. Mine is towards the front of my shoulders and it feels like I need to pull my shoulders back to straighten it out and stretch it. No idea what it is from, just assumed it had something to do with the movements I used.

Wogged for about a half hour tonight...more running/jogging than walking. I thought it'd make me feel better since i haven't been wogging much...but I feel like poo. Do you guys ever get a pain/ache in your shoulders when you run?? Is that weird?

My shoulders sometimes get sore feeling when I run. I tend to stiffen my shoulders/upper body when I run and I think it may be coming from that.

I stretch my shoulders and upper body along with my legs when I'm done wogging. That seems to help.

I'm so sorry to hear that Vanessa...my gram always told me 'everything happens for a reason' and it def sounds like you know you're making the right decision. Maybe there's something/someone absolutely wonderful waiting for you in the future and that's def something to look forward to. I hope everything goes well for you. If you need to talk about anything just post on here and we'll be there for you.

As for the exercising, I think it's ok that you didn't exercise as much this past week. You have a lot of stress going on. Taking a break can be good..but also, exercise might be able to help you as well. I don't know what you're going through, but when I have extremely stressful times I always go workout. It helps me out a ton! I can take my aggression and emotions out on the exercise and I leave the gym feeling that much better. Of course it's not going to help completely, but every little bit of help is worth it.

*hugs*

Well, I wogged for a whole 13 mins this morning lol I thought I'd get in some wogging before work...even if it was only 13 mins...that'll still help in the long run

Hope everyone has a great monday!

Morning girls,
Well, I'm gone for 1 day and all kinds of things go on.
Vanessa, I'm so sorry to hear your sad situation. I know how hard a divorce can be. I agree with Jenna's gram....I also am a true believer that things happen for a reason. My life is proof of that.. so be strong and have faith and you will recover and move on and find better days ahead. good luck.

stretching will help the back/shoulder pains...before and after. I get them sometimes too. and the side pains, are called"stitches" if you drink too much water before or during your workout, or you eat to much-to soon before your workout, the "stitches" happen. slowing down/stopping is the only cure for them. just watch how much and long before you exercise what you eat and drink.
only eat a small amount, and no less than 1hour before your workout.... that will fix that....

well, for my exercise this weekend.... Sat was good-Sun was bad..... we just walked around shopping for the day, but I ate at McDonalds and had a nonfat mocha for lunch, and then a chicken and rice dinner. so I went way over my cals for the day... But as always, I'll work my tail off for the rest of the week to try and get back to where I was on Sat. It is a never ending battle of back and forth with 3 pounds. It would be nice If I could stop sabatoging myself every weekend and focus on the big picture. I only have 5 weeks till my vacation and I want to lose this last 5 pounds.

well, I hopoe you all have a good day today, I'll check in later.
BYE

I have been out of the loop for quite awhile. This Saturday was the first I exercised since 6/2/09, pretty pathetic!

But I have stayed on program today and I wogged. I did the second level of Couch25K (2 min walk, 90 sec jog). It was the first I've done that level and like I said, have not been exercising so it was kind of rough. My HRM flashed at me most of the time cuz I was over my max heart rate. But I did it! And I didn't go as fast as I think is expected for that program. But as long as I am working toward my goal, it's good!

I am hoping to do a 4 mile walk/run in September.

Billielover of course we're open to new members! Welcome to our woggers team :happy:


Wow do I have shin splints lol I even stretched before and after. I think I need a new pair of shooooooes! What kind of shoes do you ladies have?
