I hope everyone is on the road to feeling better, whether it's emotionally or physically. I've had a bit going on emotionally / financially myself, but I"m trying to pull myself out of it. I got a run in late last night. I went to the high school track and ran/walked ~2.3 mi doing C25K. It was nice with no sun to scorch my…

Winnie, TX (about 1 hour East of Houston, 30 minutes West of Beaumont) Not born in Texas, but since I've lived here over 80% of my life, I think I'm an official transplant. :bigsmile:

Didn't do a whole bunch today, beside some chores around the house. Spent some one on one time with the oldest watching a movie together. Dropped my daughter at dance and took the other two with me, so I could donate blood (trying to make it an every 8 weeks thing). Then, met up with my two older children's bio dad and he…

I've been pretty unmotivated the last few days. Just day to day stress and then TOM came three days early during the high point of my stressful days. Yay... not. Anyhoo, I managed to do a Hip Hop Dance Workout I found on YouTube today. I got most of the moves, even with my lack of rhythm. :laugh: Marla - Sorry to hear…

Finally got my booty in gear and did a 50 min Latin Aerobic Zumba video I found on YouTube. It was fun. I'm going to look around for some more routines. I think this kind of workout is great for me on days I just don't feel like doing it, because I don't necessarily feel like I'm "working out", ya know? Pam - I really…

I got off work yesterday morning and took about a two hour nap before talking to my sister, who offered to take the two oldest kiddos for a week. So, we all got ready and headed over there. I stayed for a bit and got some pool time in. I don't track my calories when I go there because there's always so much food, so I try…

I got up for work and did my JM 30DS L3 (minus cool down) and L1 (minus warm up). Whew. I was a little shaky during L1 after having already completed L3. :laugh: Depending on the amount of sleep I get tomorrow morning (I woke up after only 3 hours this morning and had some difficulty going back to sleep), I may go ahead…

Sherry - Hope you were able to get a 'lil somethin'-somethin' in! Marla - I'm jealous of your pool! Right now, we're using the fancy sprinkler to cool off. :ohwell: Pam - I had problems with my knees when I did my JM workouts before. I did not have problems with my knees when I did squats with weights on a barbell. I'm…

lol Thank you! I've seen the pic of your "guns" so I know you've got 'em! I don't know how you use those heavy dumbbells! Great work. :wink:

I did my JM 30DS L3 today and then enjoyed some sunbathing while the kids played in the sprinkler. I haven't done my 100 hip thrusts for today. I need to get on that... I did bake up some dog treats that my doggies absolutely LOVE and now I have some quinoa cinnamon bars baking (never tried quinoa before), and I plan on…

Well, now I just feel obligated to get out and run this evening after it cools some! :laugh: I forgot to mention yesterday that I did 3 sets of hip thrusts for a total of 100 throughout the day. I'm trying to get a nice, firm booty. :wink: Today, I completed JM 30DS L2. Whew. It's much warmer this time of year than when I…

If you're on my friends list, then you've probably already seen this on one of my status updates. For those that aren't on it, I bought a "backyard bikini" the other day. I call it that because I only plan on wearing it in my backyard for now! I've worn it the last two days to catch some sun while the kids played in the…

Sherry - Your dedication is admirable! You are always on the go, go, go! You'll get your run in when you can. :wink: I busted out the JM 30DS today. I did L1. It was much more doable than the first time I did it. I don't think I'll stick with each level for 10 consecutive days, rather I think I'll do them in order and…

Well, I started my workout before midnight and finished it after midnight, so I'm going to count it as going out with a bang for the month of May! I am at work and used my one hour break to hit the treadmill. Felt good since I've been slacking lately. Thanks for keeping me motivated, friends! :wink: ETA: I wasn't be…

Just checking in. I've been reading the daily threads, just haven't been up to much to post about. I haven't been exercising and the last 2-3 days my lower back has a twinge and feels very tight, like it may go out if I do too much. I don't recall doing anything to aggravate it... so, I'm just taking it easy and trying to…

*bump*

B or D :smile: Great job on your progress!

I got my weight lifting done yesterday evening before work. I find I have some soreness in my hip flexors. As far as the running goes, sometimes it's easier than others. Of course, I'm only up to 3 mins of running at once with C25K. :laugh: I find that music definitely helps. It gives me a beat to run to and also drowns…

Wow! Awesome work!

Great progress!

This! I think I could just drink BBQ sauce alone... Whataburger fries with their honey BBQ sauce. :love:

Great job! You look fantastic. :smile:

Got C25K W3D1 done late this evening. It was nice, though. I was kidfree and there were very few cars to dodge. I definitely did NOT look cute afterward. :laugh: Sam - Very sorry to hear about the tornadoes hitting so close to home...

I'll take that as a compliment! :wink:

Toni - Glad to hear you have some answers. Just hope they can get you some relief soon. Pam - You've got some dedication! Jules - I feel ya. TOM will be here anytime now and I was a slug today. :ohwell: Just glad I've stayed under on calories today, even with a piece of leftover birthday cake! :laugh: Sherry - That heat…

Thanks everyone! Happy birthday! :flowerforyou:

Sounds like everyone is doing good. I also took a rest day today. Yesterday I managed to convince myself to get up at 6:00 am to do my weight lifting so that I could have more calorie allowance for my birthday bash! I spent six hours at the baseball park for a tournament my son was in and then closing ceremonies. Then, my…

Thank you! :smile:

Hmmm... Well, I guess at least they show up. They're huge. I will try to figure out how to re-size...

Carly - It's too funny that 2.5 mi is a short run for you and I'm dying when I run it! :laugh: I WILL get there though. Yes, those are the new capris! Thank you! Ashley - Sounds like a good plan! My husband and I working out together was okay for a couple weeks. Then we went our separate ways "working out wise". :tongue:…
