Nope Sara, not good. He's got an In school for the 27th:grumble: For those that dont know, an In school is a detention where they sit the whole school day in one room doing assignments. We used to call it ISS (In school suspension) back when I was in high school. It seems my just-turned-15-going-on-25yr old got mouthy with…

Oh Lori after what Ive just been through with my calves...I AGREE!!:laugh: But I have serious confusion issues about resting up muscles. I get it totally with strength training. But with say my abs for example, I do those 6 days a week at the gym and Im not sure if I should be doing that. Its still muscles, dont they also…

Well I always stretch AFTER, but not really before. Ive heard alot of back and forth about whether you should stretch "cold" muscles?

Hi everyone! Just checking in real quick before I run to the school to pick my youngest up early. I did an easy walk on the treadmill this morning (stayed at a 3.2 speed) and only walked a little over 2 miles. That was ok with the calves:wink: Then I got on the stationary bike and did an easy 3.5 miles. I had just finished…

Good morning team! Lori-- Ahhh, the girls. I sure do miss some of mine. I went from a 44DD went I started out 16 mos ago to a 38C now. Its lighter and easier, but I miss my cleavage:blushing: Beth-- I hope your grandmother continues to do well:heart: Your home now, your back on track, you will do great!! Marla--…

Good morning everyone:flowerforyou: Andrew...my butt and legs hurt this morning:grumble: :laugh: What a challenge you gave us this week!! And today is my day to do legs at the gym, that should be interesting. I didnt count my squats either...I think I just focused on the CLOCK!:laugh: Have a great day all!:drinker:…

Oh Im so glad to be able to log in now! This morning was horrible. Took me forever just to say Im having trouble logging in:grumble: Sounds like everyone have a decent week. Not me...I guess I cant complain to much though. My weight stayed exactly the same as last week but I got a call from Mother Nature yesterday as…

Ok Andrew, I will see what I can do:smile: Im having real trouble this morning getting anything logged and even posting replys:ohwell: It took me about 30 mins to even get this up:noway: Will check back later and see if the "internal server errors" are taken care of. I will get my weight to you as soon as I can Andrew.…

Hey!! Welcome back Beth:flowerforyou: How is your Grandmother doing?

Good morning everyone:flowerforyou: Sounds like everyone is in a hurry this morning...same story here! Today is Alexs (my youngest) 15th birthday and I have to get my booty to the gym and then go get what I need to bake him a cake. I should have been ready for today, but this whole week has been rush, rush, rush it…

Good morning all! Sorry I dont have time this morning to reply to everything I would like to. The kids have no school today, so I slept a little later than I normally do. Plus, they were having a sleepover last night. Three rowdy teenagers up til around 1am playing XBox:grumble: Needless to say, Mom didnt get much sleep.…

Yep, it does have an emergency cord on it. Im going to try slowing the pace some this morning (wow, its almost afternoon already) and not holding on. I usually dont hold on during my warmup thats at a slower pace, but once I get warmed up and increase my speed...I hang on:ohwell: So are you saying that even though my speed…

Thank you Sam. That really gives me encouragement!!:flowerforyou: Can I ask you...when you started jogging, did you just start jogging at your top walking speed? Im sure this is going to sound silly, but did you hold on to the side bars at first? I ask that because I am really scared to "let go". Even when Im walking at…

Good morning everyone! Tanya--Hope you have a great time with all the kiddos at the parties today! Shuntae--Wow, what an awesome run girl!:drinker: You certainly earned a great dinner out:flowerforyou: By the way, I count all those point whatevers in my miles too. We did em, they count!:happy: Donna--How was your dinner…

Thanks Lori! Im pretty proud of me too:blushing: :blushing: I felt like I was walking the plank or something as I was walking up to that machine and it kept getting bigger and bigger in my mind the closer I got to it!!:laugh: But Im like that. Im sort of a creature of habit and anything new or different makes me nervous…

I think 120 might be what I had it set on? Not for sure because I had another gym member show me how to use it and he set it at what he thought I might need as a beginner and then showed me how to change it if it was still to hard. It was:ohwell: So I climbed back off the machine and changed the weight...so it was either…

Thanks Andrew! I know what you mean about restaurant food. You think your making a good choice and then are quite thrown when you log it to see some of the nutrition info!:grumble: They just had a segment on the local news here about how they did an investigation on restaurants and what they "say" is the lowfat low-cal…

That is FABULOUS Jan!!:drinker: :drinker: I gotta tell you, you have put some stuff in my head and turned on a light bulb for me. I was reading your post and then got to the part about you doing that at 180 lbs and now I cant quit thinking about it. I thought about it all night in fact:blushing: I am fairly close to that…

Hey guys I just popped in for a minute to report to Lori:wink: I tried out the assisted pull up machine at the gym today. I set the resistance (is it still called resistance when it offsets your weight?) anyhoo...I set it to where I was actually only lifting about 60 lbs of my body weight. And I did 20 yes…

Well Im going to be heading to the gym shortly, and although today is technically my "legs" day....JUST FOR YOU Lori, Im going to tackle that Pull Up machine:blushing: It has a pad thingy that raises or lowers (I guess for being on your knees if your using the assisted part of the machine?) And right now Im just hoping…

That is a GREAT run Marla!:drinker: I dont run, I havent "graduated" to that...yet:wink: , however, when I am fast-walking on the treadmill I am never more than a little over 2.5 miles when the timer gets to the 32 minute mark. Awesome lady, truly awesome!:drinker:

Way to go Lori!! Im still stuck on 4 pushups...so far thats as good as its gotten BUT I am determined to squeeze out 10. I was talking to my son about it and he said "well Mom if you can do 10, you can do 15." Oh sure.:grumble: Why dont I just get down and give you TWENTY!!??:laugh: Ahem, I think I will work on just trying…

That's why I like being broke Bobbi!:laugh: Seriously though, I know what you mean. Yesterday was payday around here too, PLUS we had my oldest sons' birthday dinner. He got to choose what he wanted. He chose Pizza Puffs from a local REALLY GOOD pizzeria. GIANT pizza puffs from a local really good pizzeria:grumble: But,…

Andrew:sick: I hope you feel better soon!:flowerforyou: P.S. Your entitled to a little whining when you get a wisdom tooth pullled:wink:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Like, hang in there lady:flowerforyou:

Good morning Black Team! I didnt make it back in here yesterday after they gym so I have some catching up to do. Janie-- I hope your feeling better this morning!:flowerforyou: Jeannie-- You lucky, lucky girl!! FOREIGNER!:heart: I absolutely love them!!:love: I hope you had a wonderful time! (Im sure you did:wink: ). Thanks…

Lori--Let's do it!:smile: I will crank out a couple of push ups a day...you crank out at least one pullup a day:drinker: Gotta run guys! Running late this morning getting the teen-boy to school:ohwell: Then hitting the gym and have a few christmas returns to do that Ive been putting off:tongue: Be back later this…

I am so happy the surgery went so well Beth! It sounds like she is one very strong woman, I will keep you and your grandmother and family in my prayers:heart: Enjoy your time with her this weekend:flowerforyou:

Lori--It was nice to do something different for the day, but the workout was nowhere near the intensity or the calorie burn that it used to be for me. I did the "Walk Away The Pounds: Fast and Firm 4 Really Big Miles", which I remember was one of my toughest workouts last winter. I couldnt get my heart rate up to where it…
