Quick tag to show picture of my new horse :happy: (that I can't ride:grumble: ) BBL

Bobbi - awesome tummy girl - that's it, as soon as this back pops back into place, I am back on the walk-jog circuit.. i want an awesome tummy too.. Kristina - I really love your AV - so funny... all others - nice work on the challenge.. I am really craving sweets right now. Came home from work because my back hurt too bad…

Thanks Marla.. :flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou: :heart:

Oh, thanks Sam.. OK, in honor of my friend Dave (who I miss dearly), I am giving up refined sugar.. No more candy, cakes, soy ice cream, etc. and my breakfast cereal will have no more than 4 grams of sugar per serving.. I know he is smiling somewhere - and I am already jonesing (spelling?) Janie

Thanks Lori - you are really sweet. The good news is I have been able to start working with Will (new horse) on the ground (not mounted - sounds a little kinky :laugh: :noway: ) and so he is not really losing all that much training.. I may need some time to get my saddle muscles toned - but better not to hurt myself…

Lynnie - you never quite forget the mechanics and the basics, but not unlike biking, these are muscles you don't use for much of anything else. Just give yourself plenty of time to recover. If you get a chance to take short rides prior to the trip, it would be helpful, just give yourself a few weeks to get your muscles…

Good morning Black Team I've missed you all, but had a rough week last week - won't bore you with the details, but just want you to know that there was little positive to pull up. Lynnie - STFU week was an awesome idea, and any other week I would have been there, but it was difficult for me this week.. Lori L - you are so…

Lori - you look fantastic - way to go!!! Janie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MT GIRL!!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

:noway: :noway: no, more like cake with chocolate sprinkles... :laugh:

Hi bobbi, I was lurking when I saw that your swim team won their meet - WAY TO GO COACH!!!! We have our first meet of the long course season this weekend. Both girls are pumped.. I'll PM you about my back - not so positive. Sorry about your knees, but way to go for still doing the 5K - even if walking - much better than…

Hi gang.. I am still out here, but having trouble with the positive this week. I'll tell you all about it next week. Leilani - prayers sent for you mom - so sorry for her struggles. It must be hard for all of you. Marla and Sara - you rock the tickers this week girls - keep up the good work, you are my inspiration. Lynnie…

Oh crap.. I mean, HOORAY!!! Excellent challenge Sam - I really need this one.. as evidenced above.. Lynnie - please don't smack me.. oh, OK - just a little one.. Seriously, I hope to get the green light tomorrow for resuming exercise - hope PT agrees.. Then I will be all happy again..:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Thanks all. My birthday is tomorrow, Marla is the girl of the day today.. :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :drinker: Hope she is planning more than just waiting to lock the other thread (not that it's not a good time).. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Good morning black team.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARLA!!! That is all - for now.. Janie

tag for later. love the challenge - need to cut out the crap.... (soda not so bad, but beer and crystal light need to go...) thanks, Janie

Awesome on the pool Lynnie, and the bicycling - you are a biking animal.. Have fun at Karaoke, and definitely post some pics. I am going to put this sick head to bed early tonight - maybe it will help. Nite all. Janie

I will, just ticked off because my jeans are tight again - makes me cranky :grumble: :grumble:

I haven't been able to exercise all week (because of the sinus infection - actually really hard to breath in general) and am terrified that the scale will be unkind on Weds. :devil: :explode: :devil: :mad:

Hmmm, must be he has wild dogs and they go free and in the wild. Really rude to do that in folks lawns.. You got a good workout in though - way to go.

Thanks both - these sound really good. Janiebeth

Lynnie, if you pick up swimming too, we could do triathalons together.. *just trying to catch up on the 5 pages I've missed..*

Hi all. Marla and Vannessa - you are both gorgeous - no worries for you. I am also not photogenic at all. I always get this weird look on my face just before the camera goes off.. so annoying. Still battling the sinus bug, but seem to have a little more energy. Looking for the rain to hold off so I can get a ride in. How…

Poor little spud - is he OK now? I always hated it when my kids got hurt at day care - just cause I wasn't there to kiss the boo-boo.. Hope it feels better soon.

Spin class is awesome - such a rush... glad you stuck with it..

It is a 10 day antibiotic, and I do get monster sinus infections, so it is not unusual for me to be sick for a really long time, I was just hoping I would start to actually feel better after a few days. This feeling crappy thing is for the birds... aren't I whiney though.. yea, the scale screwed with me this week.…

I wish I could drink, it might help kill the bug.. *shot of whiskey* - or help me sleep. I told the DR I would give it a few more days, then I will get irate and demand superior drugs... I did read that your AV was T's 'bring it' face - that is so precious.. what a cutie :smooched: :heart:

Hey team, Mad at my scale today, so not seeing it for a week will actually be a blessing. Still feeling really lousy, and the antibiotics do not seem to be working. *TMI warning - how many days do you need to be on antibiotics before the stuff from your head/nose turns from yellow to clear? DRs office seems to think that 5…

Lynnie - I was going to say that you would totally rock that outfit, but Renae beat me to it.. Vanessa - if you don't work out, I will come over and pour honey on you as you sleep and then let loose the ant farm.. you totally don't want that.. Sara - when you wrote "I came back to this" I thought you were talking about the…

Happy Tuesday black team. Back to work and not liking it... :grumble: :indifferent: :grumble: For all who have issues with bike seats, try the padded bike shorts. They sell them at most store that sell workout stuff. Would never have survived Spin class without them. How does that go, Marla - in, out, in, out? Mine so far…
