I'm reading through the threads - and I feel for you. I've always been a working Mom, my husband a work-a-holic. We've been married 29 years and raised two boys together. I found, after being a neat freak and clean crazy exhausted have no time for my poor husband kind of wife that (1) my house is OK if its clean enough -…

Zumba is alot of fun - so is just dance! I try to add them in on my "off" days from the gym!

trying the deadlift with a broom - thanks for the suggestion - doctor says no lifting more than 10 pounds, no gripping, grasphing,pushing pulling, ARRGH!

I hate these! but love the results! If they hurt your lower back, put your hands flat under your butt or use little blanket - it relieves the strain!

I like the idea of a daily challenge - glad I found you! I sustained an injury on July1 and a second injury last week, and my work outs have been restricted and modified!! Sleep has been difficult because I'm not tired! I've upped the walking/cardio to try to help!

The first thing I noticed the first time I lost weight was my shoe size. I went from a size 10 to a 9. Unfortunately, I've gained 25 of the 40 pounds back! It's OK, because I know I can do it!! Looking forward to walking out of my shoes again!

grmpy1 (so cute!) thank you for the advice! I literally went out onto the sunporch and cranked up the fridge out there. We're making ice, and have coolers ready as well as propane for both the grill and our camp stove. I can't decide whether to close the windows on the sun porch or leave the screens down and let the wind…

So, fellow Wappo Warriors - this being my first ever challenge - what do I do???? Will there be posts? emails? I want to make sure I log everything correctly so we can win!!!
