Hi Everybody, I've been slack about checking in. I did 3 miles Saturday and 2 tonite. Not as much as I'd like but at least some. I've been working late but hopefully we're done with that for a while. I'll have to catch up with everyone's posts. TTYL :flowerforyou:

Just 2 miles for me tonight. I did the first 2 miles on the WATP 5 day slim down workout. I'd forgotten how good those miles are. It's seven pm and I haven't even started dinner yet. Grilled chicken coming up! :smile:

Hey MJ, I did the same workout tonight. The 5-mile advanced. Way to go! Way to resist temptation AZ, you did better than me today. The evil cookie lady (I jokingly call her that, she's really very nice) brought Cracker Barrel biscuits to work this morning. Now she's branching out from the cookies. :sad: I haven't logged my…

Welcome to all the new walkers! I've been cleaning and doing laundry all day but I made myself stop and do the WATP 5-mile Fat burning workout. I'll probably be sore tomorrow but I was relieved to see I could still make it through a 5 miler. I've been slacking too long. I've also decided to go back to tracking my exercise…

Thank you so much Elaine for starting the thread. I'm still here, I'm just trying to figure out how to get my head back in the game. I don't know whats wrong with me but I still want to get back on track. I know that I am the only one keeping me from doing that right now. I'll try to do better this month. Jenny, I'll be…

Happy Tuesday Everybody! :happy: I did the 3-mile WATP Walk your belly flat today. Feels good to be moving again.

:laugh: I'm finally back. It's been a rough week just dealing with everything and I think I just needed a break. My parents are recovering but there is just so much to deal with, insurance, rental car, doctors, etc. I'm really going to give it a good try and get back on track this week. My husband left for TX today and…

Wow! What's up with September. Seems like we are all struggling with different challenges and obstacles, myself included. My Mom & Dad were in a car wreck last week and I've been dealing with that. They are doing okay but very sore and bruised and neither had to stay in the hospital. For those of you that don't already…

Hi Everyone! I'm still here too, just had some personal things going on. Hopefully I'll be back on track by the weekend.

I hope everyone enjoyed the labor day holiday. It was a rainy, lazy day here. One of those days where you just don't want to do anything, :yawn: but I did get off my butt for a little while and managed the WATP 4 mile punch up your walk. I still enjoy that one. I"m going to try and mix it up a bit more and not do the same…

Hi Everyone! Simone, Welcome to the group! We sometimes get a little slack about posting on the weekends but I assure you that we are all still around. We're glad you've joined us. :flowerforyou: I meant to get in a workout today but ended up doing some much needed yard work before we get hit with the rain that is coming…

I've going to stick to my same goal as last month too. I've just changed it from hours to minutes. Maybe it will be easier to keep up with that way. I started the month off today with the Jenny Ford workout. I plan to get back to doing some of the walk away the pounds workouts too. I also want to set a secondary goal for…

Thanks Jenny, That would be great! I think we need some fresh thoughts when we start. It's real easy. You just go to the message board Home Page and then go into the Motivation and Support board. At the top of the page you will see a button that says New Topic. Then you enter the Topic and post just like you would a reply…

Hi Everyone! I really can't believe August is over already. Where does the time go? Big congratulations Jenny, AZ and everyone else that made their goals, you've done an awesome job. I really admire your dedication! :flowerforyou: We all can be proud that we made it through the month. Sometimes it's not easy resisting the…

Hi Everyone! I had a great vacation, we really enjoyed Myrtle Beach and we timed it just right with hurricane Irene. I was really, really horrible on my vacation as far as eating goes.:sad: I'm terrible and once I start I can't seem to control myself. Now that I"m home I'm doing better with the eating but haven't been able…

Hey Everybody! I'm back. We all had a great time. I'll catch up with you all later, I've got an appt this morning.

Happy Friday Everybody! Well I made it through the first week at the new job and feeling pretty good about it. The drive isn't too bad and everyone has been very nice so far. I did get in my Jenny Ford workout yesterday but almost forgot to log it in. I didn't workout tonight and I'll probably spend most of tomorrow…

Congratulations on making the 100 club AZ! I knew you would do it! :flowerforyou: I know it's a good feeling when the scale finally realizes you mean business! Anita, You don't have to do anything special to join us. You make your own goal and just check in here when you can. We're here to support each other no matter what…

Hi Everyone and Welcome to the group Amanda! :happy: First day on the job was great. I really think it's going to work out. I guess I was just a little gun shy after the last one. It's a very small office and it will be just me and one other woman in the accounting department besides the controller. Alice, I can actually…

Hi Everyone! I've been MIA the past few days. It's been a long week, lots of stuff at work trying to leave everything caught up. Today was my last day at the old job and it's hard leaving your friends. I'm a little nervous about next week but looking forward to new things. Now I've just got to get back on my exercise…

Jenny, I'm jealous. Temps here are near 100. It was 102 this past weekend when I was in South Georgia. Too hot for any outside walking. Thank goodness I have my dvd's. I did my Jenny Ford step workout tonite! Still liking that one. Hope you all have a good hump day tomorrow. I may have an after work get together so not…

Hi Everyone! I've got some catching up to do, with the posts and my exercising. I had a bad food weekend visiting my Aunt but I did get in a 1/2 hour walk on Saturday. My sister went with me so I didn't get to truck along as fast as I usually do but at least I got one in. Today I did 30 minutes with the WATP's. I think I…

Hi Ann, Good to see you back with us. I hope you get your cast off tomorrow, just don't overdo it until your ready. And you can still post here wether you get to exercise or not. :happy: We're mainly here for the support and will be happy to see you. I took yesterday off, it was my husband's last night at home. He's gone…

I am moving today, just not real fast. :sad: I am sore from my knees up through the hips. Jillian Michaels is cruel. :laugh: I did do the Jenny Ford step workout but I didn't have my A game on. I thought it might help work out some of the soreness. Maybe it will but I really struggled to keep up with the pace today and now…

I love the Punch up your Walk, it's one of my favorites.

Hi Everyone! Glad to see you all back this month. Leslie, we've missed you! Welcome to all the new members. I hope you enjoy the group as much as I have and we're glad to have you with us. Just a little history for the new guys. We started out mainly as a walking group but as we stuck with it we just began branching out to…

Hi Katy, Welcome to the group! Walking is an excellent way to exercise. I do a lot of the walk away the pounds workouts and it really works.

You are all great and you keep me going! Thanks for sharing all your ups and downs and listening when I need you! :flowerforyou: Here's the link to the August thread! I hope to see you all there. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/304819-swat-walking-group-august-new-members-welcome?page=1#posts-4037647

Jenny, way to go on reaching your goal. Marie, I"m close too but not going to make the full 12 hours. I have to go to work for a few hours tomorrow so I got my workout in today. Congratulations on your daughter's exciting news. I'm sure the wedding will be beautiful. I honestly think the simpler weddings are much more…

Did my usual tonite. I'd like to try and start learning the other workout on the dvd this weekend. Then I can mix it up a little bit. Jenny, I don't start my new job till Aug 15th. They were nice enough to allow me to give a 3 week notice which I felt obligated to do as a favor to my supervisor, (I've worked for her at my…
