What an awesome suggestion!! Yes, I live outside of Columbus. Go Bucks!! Did you like living here? You didn't go to OSU? This was the best idea I have had in months....well, perhaps one of the only ideas I have had in months. Since the kids have been out of school my brain is turned off!! It's survival of the…

awesome suggestions! I am writing them all down. I am bummed about the season thing. August would be way too soon and I have to try and get my parents to come stay with my kids. Drat! When does the rainy season end? I loved the idea about the cruise that's awesome. I,of course, also want to see the mountains and hike…

don't give up...just make better choices tonight, tomorrow, etc. Don't feel like you have to order a salad...BORING....order a veggie burger and only eat 1 part of the bun or eat a vegetarian item. Have you tried talking to your boyfriend about this? If he is a good guy he will understand and want to support you through…

Hi there! I am thinking of taking my hubby on a trip to Washington this fall for his 40th but I don't know much about the area. I am hoping that someone out there lives there and give me some ideas. We love the outdoors and would love to hike, run, go rafting, visit a vineyard, take a tour up Mt. Ranier...etc. I would also…

Do any of you live in the state of Washington? I ask because I want to take my hubby to Washington for his 40th birthday this fall but I am not sure where to go. We love to hike, run, visit vineyards, raft, etc. I would love to fly in somewhere that we wouldn't need to rent a car but don't know where that might be. If any…

Question...Do any of you live in Washington? My hubby's 40th is coming up this fall and I was considering a long weekend get-away for the two of us but I don't know much about the state. I would love to go somewhere that I don't need a car, has hiking, vineyards, low cost hotels...not dangerous just not 5 star. If anyone…

Hey Bunny and Thalli- if I did it you can too! You can go on vacation and stay on target! But no matter what just remember to enjoy yourself and whomever you are going with...afterall, it's about getting a break!! :tongue:
-
HAHAHAHHA....now that was an extra cardio workout that you weren't planning on. Just think, if you had to pick your dog up and carry him you can say that you got in some strength training as well!:laugh:

Hi all! Like Jenn I just got back from a family vacation. We went back to VA (where we moved from) to visit some friends and my parents! It was so nice to be "home". My friends were amazed by my weight loss...the last time they saw me I was wearing 14/16 and I now wear 8 (stretch) but 8 none-the less. Of course everyone…
-
Ok...I am proud to say that while on vacation for a week I ran every day a minimum of 3.5 miles!! Yea! I was so scared that I was going to gain some weight over the week because the couples that we were with can really eat and drink but I was so excited to when I jumped on the scale this morning to find that I had actually…
-
Ok my fellow runners....I have been running everyday for the past week or so...not even taking a day at rest. (I always feel guilty or bad when I do...silly, huh?!?!) Anyway...today I decided to do intervals on our treadmill. OMG!! I ran at 6mph at an 8% incline, 4.5 mph at 15% incline and 7.5 at 5%incline for 30 minutes…

I agree...I have the Polar F6 and love it!! It's a great way to track your progress and to know the exact amount of extra calories you can eat each time after your workout!!!:tongue:

Hi guys! I am back from a hot and heavy vacation with my honey!! Shhh...don't tell my husband! :laugh: No, my husband and I went to a State Park Lodge for a few nights and did some hiking, golfing, running and ...oh yea...drinking with each other. After the recent lay off and intense job hunt and now acceptance of a new…

I hear you indigo...I sometimes do the same thing. Lately, I have been forcing myself to drink 2 glasses of water if I walk anywhere near the food that I craving and know that I shouldn't have. The great thing is that I get completely full and feel like I couldn't eat another bite! I also have a picture of myself up on the…

Hey Pam...I will keep your sister and the baby in my prayers! Good luck! I hope it's an easy and fast pregnancy!

Good Afternoon All! Ok...so I have been gone for a while...on a vacation with my husband. We went to a local state park lodge where we did some hiking, swimming, running, golfing and oh yea.....drinking and relaxing by the pool side together! :wink: I have to tell you all....I had the most frightening run of my life while…

HI all. Phew am I tired....my hubby and I took the boys to an amuzement park fo rthe past 3 days. My daughter went on vacation with my parents so it was just some alone time with the boys. It was fun but oh boy was it a few days of run, run, run!! Believe it or not...I am up 2 pounds!!! I think it's because of all the crap…

Hubba Hubba!! Jenn is a hotty!! Ok...I tried to get us a new string started early this morning. I called it 25 TO LIFE-JUNE. Call me anal but it drives me crazy when we start getting more than a few pages....silly, huh?!? So on the new string I stated that I weighed in at 166.5...which I did, yesterday afternoon. This…

UGH I here you Kelly! I hate when I don't go into my kids bonus room for a day or two because it's always a bad surprise. The bad thing is that I am such a neat freak that I can't just shut the door and be done with it...oh no, I have to start complaining at them and dragging them both upstairs to clean the mess. That's…

try this out...I was pushing myself for the past couple of months. I had been running at 85-95% of my MHR for 30 minutes and burning around 400 calories. I decided to try this "slow burn level" for the past week and wow...what a difference. I have been running at 75 - 85% of my MHR for about the same amount of time maybe a…

Hi everyone! I thought I would start a new string rather than keep thumbing through the pages. I know that I was MIA for the biggest part of last week but I have great news to report...my husband received an offer, and it's from the company he wanted the most! We are so thrilled. Thanks to all of you who gave words of…
-
hahahaha...I posted one for today at the same time you did. We will have 2 strings today.:laugh: :tongue: I am glad you had a great run. I am just now getting motivated to get out there!
-
Good Morning All! I kind of fell off the face of the earth this past week but I haven't missed a single run!!:happy: So, I have been trying to increase my pace lately and have noticed that I am in the 90-95% of my MHR. Although my friend who is a Cardiologist said that was fine since I was in great physical health that I…
-
HAHAHAHAHA! Kechie I have done the same thing. I am so glad that someone else has done a long run, not necessairly from wanting to but from the mistake of getting lost!
-
Hey Sparkles...I agree with you about the frustration. I can't, however, say that I undereat...many of the times I overeat!! I seem to always be hungry. I think that my metabolism is running higher than what the calculators say it is and therefore I am not feeding it enough but I hate to make that jump and then gain…
-
HEY MARGIE-- It is absolutely a big deal!! Don't think that anyone hear would ever think otherwise. You just deciding to start running and being healthy is an amazing and wonderful step!! Whether you run 1 minute to a a multitude of miles!! Every step and every day gets easier and easier, believe it or not. We are here for…

Hey Jen...if you want more exercise you can come clean my house!!:laugh: I feel like that's all I do. UGH....kids should be born with this incredible desire to be clean and help out instead of this incredible desire to live like a slob and complain when they are asked to help out!!:laugh:
