Release 47 and 48 are my all-time favorites! We're up to 56 at my gym. Love that class!

Our instructor just mentioned this week that we'd be starting 55 pretty soon. With the exception of a few tracks, all the instructors got tired of this one a little quicker than usual.

This October will be 30 years for us. He's a keeper!

The gym and my walking route in the evenings - my husband isn't a gym member, so on my non-gym days, we walk after supper. We're pretty predictable...

This one is really good! 1/2 c. plain non-fat yogurt 1 handful spinach 1 banana 1/2 c. pineapple 1/2 c. cold water

I'm in!

I felt the same way when I started about a month ago. The classes at my gym are pretty crowded, and I thought someone might laugh because I didn't know the steps. Turns out there are always new people starting, and no one cares if you mess up. It's a super fun workout, and you'll make some new friends in the process!

I just went to the link - this looks really good!

I did my third 10k this weekend. The first one I ran the full distance. This weekend, using the 3:1 run/walk, I beat my best 10k time by about 1.5 minutes! As I get older, I think I this is one of the best ways to avoid injury as well.

10K this morning, and possibly a Zumba-thon this afternoon!

I'm also signed up for a half-marathon the same day (my second). If it's really cold, an earband helps. My essential items are ipod and chapstick. I'm also planning to have a pack of Gu with me this time, because one of the stations ran out last year. I don't like to carry a lot of stuff on a run.

I'm Deanna - I'm new to this topic, but I just started Zumba a few weeks ago, and love it! I hate brussel sprouts and olives. Don't really care for fish, either.

I want some snow...

Every so often, Publix puts them on buy one, get one. That's the only time we buy them - it makes them a real treat! I think we're about due for another sale...

I just had whole wheat pasta with meat and veggie sauce. I added a little ground beef/turkey to the sauce, and a lot of chopped zuchinni, yellow squash and spinach. Yum! I always buy extra lean gr. beef and turkey, and cook it ahead and freeze it, so it's always ready when I need it. That way, I only have to cook meat once…

I love Cream of Wheat on a cold day! It's not as filling as some other things, but it's not my every day breakfast. It's also one of my comfort foods - my mom fixed it for us when we didn't feel good.

Thanks - all of you! No matter what the numbers say, I know I am more fit now than I was 20 years ago, and that makes me feel pretty darn good. Tomorrow is another day, and another fun workout! :)

That's an idea... considering I drank about 20 oz. of water during the hour before I got to the gym. :)

Oh - I forgot the body fat. 28%. I weigh 117 and I'm 5'3".

Hooray for you! I'm getting ready for my second half-marathon at the end of February. When I'm feeling discouraged, I'm gonna remember this quote! :)

I have this for breakfast almost every weekday. I use the powder added to skim milk - I don't like the taste of the stuff in the can. It's quick and easy, and keeps me full longer than cereal or oatmeal. I also need the calcium, because I probably don't get enough otherwise.

You can send me a friend request. I just joined this week, and I'm looking for friends, too!
