Happy Friday & Happy FEBRUARY! Yep! That's right! We have passed all the way through the first month of the year just like that! January was an amazing month in terms of working to get healthy and fit. Let your momentum roll you right into this new month and throughout this new year! Yesterday I did 36+ vigorous min on my…

Well, here we are. The LAST day of January! That means we only have 14 days left until Valentine's Day! There is still time to meet your goals. I've noticed that our challenge participation has dropped dramatically. If you haven't been following through - that's okay. Start again today! We are here to hold your hand and…

Wow! Can you believe that we only have 1 more day in January?! If this month is any indication, this year is going to FLY right on by! Because of that there is no time to say 'I'll do it tomorrow'. If you wait, the year will be gone before you know it & you won't be any farther towards your goals and a healthier YOU. Don't…

:cry: Just want to send gentle (((HUGS))) and let you know that I'm praying for you to feel better. Loss triggers so many feelings within us - take care of yourself while you process this and the other losses you have so recently experienced. +++POSITVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou: Niccole

Good morning! How is everyone doing today? Motivated to meet your fitness goals? Every single one of us can do this. We can do anything we set our minds to. How about setting our minds towards exercising to make ourselves the healthiest we can be?! Now, get on out there and EXERCISE! :happy: Despite wanting to do just…

Another Monday, another week ahead of us. Let's all support each other to meet our goals and become healthier, happier people together! Yesterday I rode my bike for 36 min at a moderate pace, did the Prevention: Drop It With Dance DVD, & I drank all of my water. So far this week (my week starts on Friday) I've filled in…

Do you have cable? Find something on FitTV. Do you have an exercise dvd you could pop in? How about jogging up and down stairs for 15 minutes, throwing in some sit-ups/crunches, some pushups... Have a library nearby? Head over and pick up a workout tape or exercise book. Look up workouts on the internet. Looks like you…

Happy Sunday! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and is getting ready for a new week to begin. The week that brings us to February and closer to the end of our challenge. See where you are with your goals and make sure you are on track. If you aren't let us know how we can help you get to where you need to be!…

I actually tend to exercise at night - generally after 7pm. Thinking about it, I find that having a good cool down really relaxes me and I don't have a problem falling asleep when I'm ready. And, for me, I'm not one of those 'don't eat after a certain time' people. If I have calories left & I'm hungry, I'll eat. Often, if…

Happy weekend to all! Hope you have a relaxing but exercise filled weekend ahead of you! Have to get ready to go to my 3 year olds first basketball game. How crazy is that! I guess him starting this early will lay that firm foundation of fitness in his heart. Between that and me exercising all the time he won't ever…

Here we are - a month after Christmas. Has everyone goten those pesky extra holiday pounds off yet? I am finally happy to say that with my rededication to focusing on exercise and water that I got that last pound off that I'd gained - plus one more. Yeah! If you still have a few more hanging on or seem to be stuck where…

This link should take you to a coupon for a free Quizno's Sammie! You have to buy a drink and chips (Baked Lays???) but the sandwich is free. I haven't had one yet but maybe this weekend I'll try one. http://www.quiznos.com/qmail/2008-01-06/index.html?NRDONE=1&email=test%40yahoo.com&fname=%20YOU&lname=%20&SID= +++POSITIVE…

Arianne ~ Just wanted to say that I'm so glad your son is past that high fever! 104 is really high! My little guy is on the mend as well. He's not well yet but he is better. Gentle (((HUGS))) and sleep filled wishes for you! +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou: Niccole

It was just something silly that I came up with... I made a chart on Excel with the days of the week across the top and three daily goals down the side - "Ride Bike", "DVD/Show", & "8 Waters". Then, as I do each item in a day I put a sticker in the box. If I earn 20 stickers (out of 21) I get to buy a new piece of…

Good morning! What does everyone have planned for their exercising today? Something fun that will make you strong and fit, I hope! I've got another day ahead without my hubby - he has hockey again. :grumble: Not that I wouldn't be right out there playing hockey with him if I possibly could! Last night I rode my bike for 36…

So good to *see* everyone! I was worried I'd *said* something to scare everyone off! And, Katie - I'm so glad you are joining us! :happy: Have a GREAT evening everyone! I still have my workouts ahead of me... Wish me luck - or how about strength, endurance, & energy?! +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou: Niccole

I was wondering that, too, Mary! I keep checking the posts to see if anyone else has checked in! I guess it's just you and me today! YOU GO GIRL! :bigsmile: +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou: Niccole

Hi everyone! It's Wednesday! Half way through another week. Another half a week closer to the end of our challenge and success for ourselves in our fitness goals. Keep up the GREAT work everyone! You are ALL doing a FANTASTIC job! *\o/* Even with my crazy day (it was even worse than I'd predicted yesterday morning) I…
-
Woo Hoo! Another day to exercise! Another day to focus on our health and fitness goals! Get out there and do something just for yourself! You are worth it! Yesterday I rode my bike for 36 min at a moderate pace, did the warm-up, cool-down, & leg segment of the Self: Trim & Tone Fast dvd, & I got in my 8 waters. Today is…

Another Monday, another week! Let's all keep up the GREAT WORK with our exercise challenge. Everyone is doing a fantastic job and will be fit machines here by the 14th! Way to go! 3 more 'stickers' for me yesterday. I rode my bike for 36 min at a vigorous pace, did segment 1 of both Abs of Steel & Buns of Steel, & I drank…

Angela ~ I am so very sorry that you are having to deal with this loss of your precious baby. :cry: I have personally experienced MANY losses and know how hard it is. Gentle (((HUGS)))... As far as exercises go, depending on what your doctor advises, I'd say just go with what you feel comfortable with. There will likely be…

:flowerforyou: Oh you guys! I really feel silly with this chart I made. Mine has the days of the week across the top and three rows - ride bike, dvd/show, 8 waters. As I'd REALLY slacked off on all of those areas I commited to doing them EVERY day. At the bottom I wrote "Earn 20 stickers - buy a new piece of clothing." So,…

I just got "Holly Clegg's Trim & Terrific Freezer Friendly Meals: Quick And Healthy Recipes You Can Make in Advance" from Amazon (after trying it from the library) and we are really enjoying the recipes in it. I've been making a recipe each night and we eat half right away and the other half goes into the freezer for…

We are moving right along here through the days of our Valentine's Challenge! For everyone who has been working towards their goals from the beginning - KEEP IT UP! We are getting closer to the end! For those that have inquired what this challenge is about - we each set individual FITNESS goals for ourselves and check in…

:yawn: :yawn: :yawn: It's too early for a Saturday morning! My 3 year old has his first basketball practice at 8:30 down in town (an hour away) though so we need to get a move on! Okay, so after my need for a change yesterday I went ahead and made myself a little chart to track my bike riding, my dvd/show workout, and my…

Mmmm. This sounds really yummy! I might have to make something like this soon. Thanks for sharing! +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou: Niccole

Happy Friday Everyone! As my weigh in days are Friday's this will be the start of something new for me. It has to be! I've been so uninspired to do much of anything. Well, that's not true. I have big plans everyday to get lots of exercise in but by the end of the day I don't want to do much else than fall into bed. :yawn:…

Gosh! We are more than half way through January already! Are you meeting your goals for our challenge? I know I am not doing real great. Especially with my weight training. I need something to jump start me! Well, today is a new day I'll see what I can get done tonight! Yesterday's exercise consisted of cleaning, laundry,…
