Good morning all of you early birds! Since my little one was up until after 11 last night he let me sleep in until now! Thank goodness. I'm going to be dragging today as it is. Anyway... Yesterday I walked/ran/played at the park with my boys for a few hours. It got up to 50 degrees! Of course, we got a ton of snow last…

I wonder things like that sometimes, too Julie! I try to smile and say "Thanks God for the extra exercise!" You've got to find something positive out of things like that! Yesterday I walked for about half an hour, I cleaned, & I rode my bike for 20 min at a vigorous pace. It's supposed to be nice enough today that a friend…

Happy Monday! :yawn: I am one sleepy person this morning! Hope everyone else if awake and full of loads of energy! I had a pretty sad weekend, exercise wise. I always have big plans but they don't always come to be. What I did do yesterday was clean. We boarded our dogs in our sunroom while we were in WA and it needed to…

Laughing out loud! :laugh: I have to share that one with my hubby. Thanks for sharing! +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou: Niccole

Good morning. It's a sunny (but VERY cold) Sunday here in the Colorado mountains. Makes you glad to be alive! Yesterday I walked for a few hours. That's it. I really need to get back on the ball. I need to keep up my exercise better so that it becomes a habit that I just do without really thinking about it. Although, I…

Good morning! Thanks for getting us going Mary! Yesterday I walked for about an hour and a half. Today, there will be more walking and tonight I will try to get in one of the DVD's I got from the library. Since we are going to Chili's for lunch I may be doing some extra biking tonight, as well! :wink: Have a GREAT Saturday…

TGIF! Plan something different to add to your exercise routine over the weekend. Something you just can't fit in during the week... It will be fun! So, can you believe it that when I finally fell in to bed last night at 1am I just then remembered that I hadn't actually exercised yesterday?! How could I possibly have…

So, my husband was ordering textbooks from Amazon yesterday and I happened to have all of the Biggest Loser dvd's(as well as some other stuff) just sitting in the cart and he just went ahead and ordered everything! So, I guess I can cancel my library holds. I sure hope I enjoy them all as much as I enjoy the first one!…

We are up to the first double digit date of the new year! Man, time sure does fly! Can't take a single day for granted! We need to always be aware that we have choices to make for ourselves. In regard to our challenge they are to exercise or not, how much to exercise, cardio, weights??? No matter what choice you make be…

Your body will hurt the next day - it's exercising! You can enter leisurely walking on the exercise tracker to give you an idea of how much you will burn - you know, to let you know what snacks and meals will work into your calorie projections for the day. Have FUN! +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou: Niccole

Those sound yummy even if they weren't fast! Thanks for sharing! +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou: Niccole

Good morning MFP! It's Wednesday! Half way through another week. Keep up the GREAT work with your exercising! You've got a HOT bod to sculpt! I rode my bike for 36 min at a vigouous pace last night during the Biggest Loser. My 3 year old was so funny. While we were watching he got us each a set of hand weights. So, I'd sit…

Even though I know Valentine's Day is in winter I think of it being in Spring for some reason. And, since we got a ton of snow last night it feels like Valentines day is still forever away. In all actuality it's only 38 days away! Only 38 days to trim and tone my body as a Valentine's gift to not just my hubby but myself…

I got mine at Amazon.com. I've seen the new ones at Walmart, too. It might be worth checking your library... that's what I've been doing then deciding if I like them enough to buy them. Good luck! +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou: Niccole

I have the first season DVD with Bob and I love it. I kept renewing it from the library and then just bought it for myself for Christmas. I like the variety with the 4 workouts and always feel motivated by them. I guess I will check to see if the library has any of the other Biggest Loser titles... +++POSITIVE…

Wow! Already a week into the new year! I have a feeling that we will be celebrating Valentine's Day here in the blink of an eye! Don't let it sneak up on you! Keep up the GREAT work with your exercise and you will have something really special to celebrate this year! Yesterday I'd hoped to do my 36 minutes on the bike but…

Happy Sunday! It's cold but the sun is shining here in the Colorado mountains today. Makes you wake up and smile! Glad there's something to make me smile as my body feels like it was run over by a TRUCK! I did 15 min of warm-up and cool down and the 20 min Biggest Loser Boot Camp workout (from the 1st dvd that was…

It's the weekend! Any break from the norm, exercise-wise, for anyone? A game of football with the kids? A walk around a local museum? Snowshoeing in the backcountry? Get out there and do something different! Yesterday I got 36 min of moderate riding in on my bike. I also power walked the mall for at least 30 min pushing a…

Good morning. I hope that everyone is doing well and has some BIG plans for the weekend! I ended up missing out on my hubby's Christmas party but a larger part of their organization is having a formal party at the Denver Mueseum of Nature & Science tomorrow night and I went ahead and went 'sexy' instead of 'frumpy' with my…

Yawn! I need a vacation from my vacation, I think! Hope everyone else is full of energy and pep! Get out there and exercise! I didn't end up riding my bike last night. I did make about 20 trips down to the car to unpack it, though. I could have cut the trips down some but I was looking at it as exercise so I went with it.…

Happy New Year! It's time to get a move on with our fitness goals and make something extrordinary happen for ourselves in this new year. Let's do it together!!! I finally got home after midnight last night so obviously didn't do much else than sit in the car for a zillion hours yesterday. I have LOTS of unpacking and…

Hi everyone! Of course I'm in for the Valentine's Challenge. I'll be gone still until Tuesday but can start our check ins after that. I got a pair of 10 petite jeans on the other day - I'm not saying they looked good but they were zipped and buttoned... By Valentines Day I want to be able to get into an 8 petite. Might be…

Good morning! I won't be able to check in again until maybe Sunday at my parents. Know that I'll be thinking about you all and rooting you on to meet your goals! *\o/* So, again no formal exercise. But - I must have gone up and down the stairs at least 50 times last night. That's gotta count for something, right?! Still…

Here we are in the December "twenties"! Oh my goodness, Christmas is coming fast! Christmas, and the end of our challenge! How's everybody doing with their goals? I'm not doing great BUT I figure that even if I'm not exactly meeting the goals I set for myself, just striving towards them is better than not doing anything at…

Only a few days left! In fact, you will probably have to do the last few days of check ins without me as I am leaving town on Friday! SO, SO much to do between now and when we take off! And, today my baby turns ONE! Talk about time flying by! We have a party this afternoon and then I have to get moving on packing for our…

Good morning. Hope everyone is more awake than I am! I envy all you morning exercisers out there - I just can't get up another second earlier than I have to with my boys. Way to go, guys! We are only a week away from CHRISTMAS!!! Besides lot's of cleaning I managed to force out 20 minutes on my bike last night. I just…

Happy Monday! We are in our last full week of the challenge. What did you commit to doing? I need to get in 5 days of cardio and 3 days of weights. I know I can do it! You can meet your goals, too! Go for it! Last night when I finally got home around 8:30 with 2 very tired crying boys and I had to do dishes, and some other…

We are coming to a close on another weekend. One more week. One more weekend. And then - we are at Christmas! I have SO much to do between now and then (well, actually Friday when we leave for Washington state.) The one thing I need to continue to push into my busy, busy days is my exercise. It's easy to say I don't have…

Here we are! 10 days until Christmas. I am very proud of the number of people who have stuck with this challenge! Even with bad days here and there - YOU are doing GREAT! Keep it up!!! I did indeed do plenty of walking yesterday. I rode down into town with my hubby yesterday since I had a doctor's appt and didn't want to…

Sorry Julie! I type pretty slow so you got the post out first today! Thanks! Wow! Put a "2" in front of that date and we are celebrating Christmas Eve! I CAN'T believe how fast the days are going by! Just means it's that much more important to focus on our goals. Look over what you wanted to accomplish through this…
