My "gym" is a bit smaller as it is at work, but I made a promise to someone else that I would go two time over a 2 week period and do SOMETHING for 20-30 minutes. The first time I got lucky and nobody was there. The second time a very fit man was running on the elliptical, 3 feet from the treadmill I was headed toward for…

wireless would be fantastic! recommendations?

I'm in! Just getting started running so may not make 80 but I'll aim for it! Counting mileage since Thursday when you posted the challenge: 7.3/80

I have always hated earbuds because they never seem to feel comfortable. But, desperate for something small, I bought these recently. They are comfortable, sound great, and block out pretty much any other noise. :drinker: Maybe not the safest for running outside but until Spring I'm indoors on the treadmill anyway. :frown:

living together is a preview of marriage. Is this what you want for the rest of your life? Why is he making all the decisions? He doesn't want to buy a house until next year after he knows you can live together well. Will his family move into the house he/you buy? If not, this "experiment" isn't a fair assessment. He…

I have tons of work to catch up on, along with tons of housework. If I could get an extra 8 hours today, I'd take it!

Tell me about the sunshine and warmth...I visited Phoenix for work once and REALLY did not want to come home.

break me off a piece of that kit kat bar... I had several minis but counted every one of them. bought less this year, ate less this year, will still post a loss this week. It's all good. :)

Tomorrow has historically been my issue. This go around, I have just made "tomorrow" a "starting just before I ate that", and I track exactly what I ate that I don't want to see. Then I start working toward better choices with the very next bite or very next bit of activity that I do. It could be a salad for my next meal,…

me! But sometimes I work out extra hard just so I CAN have more "junk". I know I won't give it up forever, so this seems like a smart way for me to live. If I build a habit of working off the junk, I'm perfectly happy with that. :drinker: ETA: I do try to be aware of nutrition and eat the right stuff too.

Well done! Oh how I hate planks... :noway:

Thanks! I started out with exercise induced asthma and have been on a preventive inhaler for several years now. I do use my inhaler, often, while exercising, but less now than a month ago so that's good! It is true that I usually start coughing up lung junk anywhere from 10 minutes to a few hours after I finish, and that…

Incredible beauty! Just read your profile, and now I'm even MORE impressed. What an inspiration to so many!! Thank you for sharing. You have no idea what you've done for a whole bunch of us. :heart:

wanted a rest day, decided to go for a walk, and before I was out of the locker room, I was talked into doing a TRX class instead. And I gave it my all!

request sent with a note about me and my goals, and what I can bring to you. :)

^THIS

Based on this, you've made your decision and are looking for validation? This is not a decision which should be made by seeking advice from strangers. Good luck whatever path you choose.

Congratulations!! Great start!

Jogged 2 miles nonstop. First time ever. 10/17 was my first 1 mile ever. Go me!

Haven't had it in a long time but buttered dark toast dipped in cream of wheat cereal. Now I want some!

Don't puke...spam, lettuce, and cucumber sandwich...but with butter on the bread, not mayo Also plain ruffled potato chips with chocolate ice cream (mushy ice cream, dip the chips)

Does Cadbury Dark Chocolate have no calories? :bigsmile:

went back to the mountain that started this mission, and got further than the last time. However, it's getting cold and snowing on most of the local mountains, so that was probably the last time until Spring. At that time, I hope to make it to the top!

There is a link a few comments into this thread. I tried to post a pic but can't get a decent size. It's on the webpage.

Bring a workout dvd with you if there is tv and dvd player in the room. Surely there are parking lots that would be safe to walk around, I bet there are stairs in the hotel, and maybe you could find someone in the seminars that feel the same way; as you make small talk and find someone you are comfortable with (same sex?),…

I think I'm in, though I'm skeptical that I'll be able to do the longer times. Every plank is a challenge for me, I do 30 secs.

^Exactly!

kids in strollers that age is odd to me; we stopped by the age of 4, and that was only if we were walking more than they could handle. Generally by 3. And we used to call it harnessing, or using a harness. I imagine leashing was started by someone who finds it offensive, and it just stuck.

There are some fantastic replies. What a positive thread! I love it!!
