Good morning everybody. Tough Mudder Las Vegas highlight video, if anybody is interested. youtu.be/jUwaBEMexdk

Thanks Heron. Oh jeez, Carol's been sharing that out? LOL!!! No, I didn't walk last night unfortunately. I ended up trying to finish that darn video and struggling!!!! SOOOOO much awesome footage that I don't want to leave any out, but I don't want an hour long video either. I'm going to try to get it all finished up…

Hey everybody. Well, November isn't starting all that great. Food wise, I'm trying but I have yet to get out and walk (bad Jen!!!!!). Just finished listening to the Vegas Tough Mudder recap podcast. Wow, those people I hung out with are AWESOMETASTIC!!!! :smile: I think y'all need to come to Chicago in May. Just sayin'!…

Good morning everybody. I'll hop in later to reply to the above posts. I will say that I'm with ya Heron on the 'Fitness Blender' challenge.

KRIS!!!!! It's about time you get your butt in here!! I was about to come drag you in kicking and screaming!!!! :tongue:

Thanks. I have to start! And I need accountability! :smile:

DebSue!!!!! My diva!!!!! :smile:

Good morning peeps. Ok, Jen's going off the rails here but bear with me. :smile: I realize the holidays are coming up and challenges can be even more difficult. However, it's time for me to set myself some challenges and y'all are free to join me. What's bringing this on? Well, despite the 'success' of my first Tough…

Not much going on here in Illinois either. :smile:

Friday. Friday. Friday. I guess that's all I have to say about that. Hehehe...

Thursday!!!! Ok, I've committed myself (yes, that sounds wrong, I know). May 21st in 'Chicago' (Rockford, IL, actually), Tough Mudder Chicago. I'll be there! Why? Because Carol 'forced' me to participate in Vegas and now I want to do another one! Sooooooooooo... I'm doing the darn thing and if anybody wants to join me,…

Heron, you could definitely do the TM. I mean come one, I did and look how out of shape I am! Hehehe... My goal for my next one is to try more obstacles, maybe even a climbing one or two. But I know I can finish a 10+ mile course and that's a huge accomplishment by itself. I have looked over the videos Arturo did. The…

Well John, I'm planning on doing a second one next year and maybe a third, so I could join you and Carol in the 'two in one year' club. :smile: I'm already trying to recruit willing participants who don't fully know what they're getting into! Hehehe... You're amazing for doing two of these things this year. Oh and for…

Thanks. Well I've already decided I'm doing one next year. Something to think about... (thanks Carol, this is all YOUR fault!!!!! :tongue: )

You couldn't be more right. I got home yesterday around 3pm and by 4:30 I was asleep! Slept around 11 hours but still feeling completely exhausted, physically and mentally. I hope Carol got some sleep finally and that John has a good second leg of his trip. As for the Mudder, I'm not sure what I can say other than what a…

Seeya in a bit John!!!

Thank you Heron for doing this. Really looking forward to meeting you and Arturo. Getting closer...

Well one of these days, I'll do one as well! Hehehe..

Countdown to Thursday!!! All good options. I'm a fan of places where you can actually talk and enjoy each other's company. I'll be Jen the Purple Dinosaur at the TM. LOL!!!

I'm good with a group dinner. No idea where to go as I know NOTHING about Vegas (other than I've heard there are a couple casinos somewhere out there - hehehe). Steaks works for me as well. Looking forward to spending time with everybody. So who all will be heading to Vegas? Carol, me, John, Lisa (???), Heron & Arturo. Who…

I'm very excited to see Carol and John again, as well as meet Lisa, Heron & Auturo. I'm not sure I've been able to talk Kris or DebSue into making the trip so I guess they'll just have to watch the videos! Hehehe...

Completely unrelated to weight loss but I wanted to share something that happened yesterday. Just want to spread the word and make people aware. The building I live in had 4 units robbed yesterday. My unit and the 'empty' one next to me weren't hit, apparently because I was home (my car was the only one in the driveway).…

Oh jeez DebSue. How could I forget Nirvana!

Good morning everybody. N day for DebSue. Hmm... All I can come up with are Nine Inch Nails, Stevie Nicks and (don't judge) New Kids on the Block. :tongue:

Awww jeez, now I'm all confused DebSue! :tongue:

DebSue, it's M day (and is Monday, coincidentally - hehehe). There can be no other choice for music today. MADONNA!!!!! :smile: Oh sure, I can think of plenty of other M artists. Heck, I think I'll just have a Madonna marathon at work today. All Madonna all day. Ok, it's 2:30 and I've been up since midnight (don't ask).…

Oh jeez Kris! I feel like an idiot now! How could I forget about some 80s one-hit wonders! :)

Lenny Kravitz, the Kinks. There is an Irish band Kila which is AMAZING. Here is one of my faves from them (starts out slow and picks up about halfway in): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYzitnR9WJY Oh and DebSue, the Kraftwerk was more of a bit of humor on my part. They are a German electronic band and believe me, it…

It's K Day. Hmm, that's a toughie. All I can come up with are KISS and Kraftwerk. Oh and Kansas. Hmm....

OMG!! I TOTALLY forgot about Journey!!!!! Now I'm remembering junior high. Hehehe...
