Hi guys-it's me stealing a signal off the store at the lake!:laugh: It's ok, my daughter works here. Funny thing happened yesterday. It was cool out and I was working out on my deck. :bigsmile: Anyway, I saw a boat full of people paddling in the waves, floating past my place in the window reflection, so I asked if I they…

Sorry, no weigh in again. TOM JUST starting. Next week....Actually, I kinda like not weighing myself. I feel better and that's really what counts to me for now.:flowerforyou: Hope to chat soon if I can get to an internet line at the lake. See ya soon-have a great week. Go Blues!:heart:

Had a great healthy day today with tons of energy. My Surgeon, I like to refer to him as Doc Hot, checked my shoulder and of course it didn't grind for him-I could say something VERY NAUGHTY right here...but I won't, I'm a lady.:blushing: (According to my profile pic anyway). So anyway, he xrayed it to be sure and it…

Still no TOM :ohwell: Back on track! Up to exercise after I pay the dreaded bills...busy errands day. Chat soon. WTG focused girls-you're inspiring me to do so also.:drinker:

Are they hard workouts? I haven't been able to start it cause we go away for holidays. Thanks for the info, Kath:flowerforyou:

I've been baaad today too.:grumble: Carb crave overload!:angry:

My problem exactly :huh: :cry: [/quote] Available in Canada?

Just got the Wii active too. Does anyone use the balance board. Going to try it soon too....

It was meant to be! Your Mom has a rat rescue? How awesome to know people who know stuff about small animals like that. I wouldn't have a clue! What are you going to name her, or have you? Thanks for keeping us updated, and to all of you knowledged folks, glad I can learn something-I always wondered about those little…

Tomorrow is another day fitgal! So get this. I mentioned to you guys that there was a man-who had 4 kids by the way-that was running the 1/2 marathon with 2 of his daughter's. The Manitoba Marathon is always on Father's Day. ANYWAY, I was told that as soon as this guy entered the stadium (100 yards from the Finish Line),…

Hey guys-back early from the lake due to very bad weather. Thank God! I did nothing but eat while I was there out of boredom. So when se got home I exercised my but off, ate a bit too much Subway, but am so glad to be home. When it is crappy, the kids watch TV, I read my mags, and lie around-our place is small. When it's…

Great job losers :laugh: :laugh: I was naughty :explode: :grumble: :sad: Grad was too long, I was starving, then we couldn't decide where to go for dinner, so we ended up this Italian Restaurant which was $$, not good and a waste of calories. So then, of course, because I felt blah, my daughter and I had a DQ waffle bowl.…

Ya, my kids turned their noses up a bit too. I mean they are the best deep fried with a mayo type dip. Wish me luck tonight-did exercise at least. Chrissy you're a doll.:flowerforyou:

Even better is to use sweet potatos! Reg. potatoes are a no no. Those all sound like great goals. As for the hard candy, Walmart in the US has a great selection of sugar-free candy like Werther's, mints, etc. I have them almost daily too, but take the 40 cals (for 5). I went over a bit yesterday, but as long as I'm in the…

Hi! Well my daughter and I and many many others weren't too happy with our times-mine was 2:59:33, my 12 yr olds was 2:46:48. I t was over 80 degrees, and people were collapsing everywhere!, Some were in Intensive Care and one guy actually needed full Resuscitation 100' from the finish line. Needless to say, we both had a…

Great post- I subscribe to Oxygen, M&F Women and Women's Health-the latter is the boring one of the 3 at times, and also pick up Shape and other ones at times. I have made a HUGE binder of exercises for all your body parts, of all kinds of different exercises to do, and do 4-5 different ones /body part/ wk and mix them all…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: You're cute j! What's the other one called, besides square? Mesomorphic anyways, although my theory stands that if you didn't develop a good toned muscle structure as a teen/young adult, when you get to my age it's so hard to develop. What's the motorcyle run? You both will do great:bigsmile: ! My…

You guys are sooo awesome! Way to dance around and burn some cals! That's my fave way to exercise most days! Rach-glad you're smilin' after all that crap. You are doing so awesome, he, and the others can eat their hearts out.:wink: As for me, actually wasn't hungry yesterday much, so I only had about 1000 cals (healthy…

AV?:huh: Still wish I could get that annoying layer of body fat off. I have to eat clean I know and I HATE it! Thanks ...:flowerforyou:

First of all, chocolate flavored yogurt DOES NOT COUNT. :flowerforyou: Actually, to me, if it's lo cal or like a protein bar, but choclate flavor-doesn't count. It's the refined sugars, etc, I'm trying to stay away from. Not too lucky the past couple days. Allowed myself a cheat day on Sun.:grumble: and yesterday was my…

I loved them. I did them daily as the schedule, bought and did every level to delux. If you got the beat, you can do it and it's an awesome workout.:bigsmile:

Thanks guys! My official time-2:59:53-Just made it under 3 hours! I'm only dissapointed cause last year I did it in 2:48, and spent 1/2 hour at the medics for blisters. Now it entices me to try it again next year! My girlfriend told me a guy who runs it every year said this one was the hardest due to the weather, so I…

I know nothing, except you're a great guy with a big heart. The person who lost him is probably either terriby upset-and with be so thankful for you:smooched: , or unfortunately could have dumped it-which, thank God you took him in, or he would have a different fate. I was sooo upset when one of my cats got out while I was…

WTG!!!:drinker: Just finished a 1/2 Marathon with my 12 yr old daughter and we're done...to bed we go.:yawn:

OMG-WHAT A MORNING!:yawn: We are soooo sore!:sad: My time wasn't as good as I thought and I struggled a lot (more than I hoped):grumble: , and my daughter said that it was aweful! :laugh: The weather was sunny and hot right at the start-68-85 degrees.People were passing out everywhere. The Medics were very busy. I had a…

Once again, the tears are falling:cry: :cry: (good tears). Thanks so much for your thoughts and kind words-when things get tough, I'll think of you guys and kick it up a notch!:heart: :heart: :smooched: :smooched:

Aww thanks guys. Reading what you and fitgal wrote, brought tears to my eyes. It's so nice to have you for support.:flowerforyou: I'm staying focused. Tomorrow is the Big Day! I took my daughter with me to the Marathon Expo for our shirts and bib #s. Of course got free stuff and samples-she loved it. Totally pumped us…

My shoulder is a mess and sore-still grinds and clicks. I was on my treadmill walking, late last night thinking, why? Here is someone who actually loves all kinds of exercise, challenges,has all kinds of support (my hubby actually grabbed me and took me down with him to workout last night), and at 41 I'm a wash up. My body…

Funny that this is just your and my thread.:laugh: :laugh: Anyway, my shoulder is really bugging me-I had surgery twice on it-last being Mar 19, which took a while to recover and extremely painful for a month. I've been off work for 2 years now (am a Clinical Resource Nurse for Newborn Rescuscitation), and was to FINALLY…

I'm running a 1/2 Marathon on Sunday. I haven't really trained, but am strong in Cardio, so I should be ok. I ran it last year with a sling on, after building up fitness with Hip Hop Abs, etc and did great. Just rememeber, it's not a race, you're just to do your personal best. I thought I'd be walking the whole thing, and…
