O my gosh you slacker!!! Are you kiddin? 1hr32 doing aerobic because you were tired? You are fantastic! Keep it up WOW look you are so close to goal.

JM- yes my side and but ached some yesterday but there feeling much better today. Week one is pretty intense! I really like the program though. Dibaby- Sorry things are busy for you but i know youll be back at it soon. You hang in there. I hear you on the stress eating too. My second fill has made and good difference so far. You ladies always inspire me.

McGreen i weigh waaaaayyy more than you do to. I did work up to it by doing a couple of months swimming though. I just think 'i can do anything for just 20mins'. I thought it would be really hard on my joints but i actually am doing ok with it.

Today : 35 mins weight lifting and 25 mins in the pool (had to get to a meeting. jm: I cant wait to do workout 3 of week 1. Tomorrow i have to go to a confrence but hopefully before or after it i can complete week 1. It really made a hugr difference this week. I had a big weight drop. My legs ached a little yesterday so today they are feeling fine again. I am hopeing i can do week 2 next week. Who would of thought a big guy like me could do the programe.

I love the Playdo. I have a small radio control helicopter at my desk to keep me entertained.

Rainer im shocked and applauled at the way you think!

Lol. That was a good post! Yes i ride:) I do have some more tips but keep em coming. Thanks for the bike compliment.

Ok this is a place for us office workers to exchange tips. I work here 7am - 5pm 5 days a week and i travel about 11 weeks of the year from Oct to April on and off. Right now in our lunch room there are Haloween Cookies and im avoiding it like crazy! I can share some of my office eating habits and a few tips. Ok here is the first. I keep a 12LB dumbbell in my cubie and when im talking on my hands free cordless phone i just curl away. I wonder what the guy on the other end of the phone would think!

If i was getting undressed and asked my wife that she probably would of rolled her eyes and said ' not tonight honey i have to get up early' just kidding, actualy shes a wild woman! Good job on the NSV!!!:clap2:

GO JM!!!!!!!!!!!! Im soooo proud of you!!!!!! Ok today, left to go to the y at 4.40am stopped for gas and couldnt get my car started, aHHHHHHHHH, i finaly got it fixed at 5.20am and didnt get to the Y till 5.30am. Did workout 2 week 1 of C25K and 25 mins in the pool as i was so short on time.....22 laps. Was frustratingn but heck..least i got in there.

JMCambra-- hey im so glad i could motivate you!!! I wasnt even trying. I sure know you have motivated me enough times in the past!! You go girl!!!!Im proud of you!!!I always keep an eye on what your up to. I did week 1 workout 2 this morning. Not to bad. Got really sweaty which is a good thing. Took a 25 min swim afterwards..would of liked to swim more but had to be at work. Legs are a little sore but nothing too bad, skin is a tiny bit tender on the inside of legs where the ol nuggets were slapping around---ouch. Tomorrow i will lift weights and swim again and do another run on Sat or Sun. Again---- GO JM!!!:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

HEy when you get in those frillys make sure u post the pic on here!

Dibaby...i think we should start an office tips thread for us office peeps. I could use tips on food , i keep a 12lb dumbbell in my office now and curl it while on my hands fee headset. And i can cook a whole 3 course meal in our microwave now:)

Thanks JM! Dibaby--- i hear you, wait till after haloween and they leave all the leftover candy all over the office.

ok thanks too JM's input i started the Couch to 5k this week! My Ymca has the best treadmills. I was worried if you look at my weight but i actually managed it. Got my heart rate to 145 at one point. Did my usual 50 min swim afterwards. But for those considering it and there high weight i had not too bad of a problem. Gosh i bet i havnt ran for like 10 years!!!! Major NSV for me. All thanks to JMCambras encouragement!!!

jm---I did it! Week 1 of Couch to 5k. I actually RAN! or Jogged! Major NSV for me. Wasnt that bad either. Jelly legs afterwards. Then did 50 mins swiming 42 laps.

Tue- weight lifting 45 mins, pool laps 30 - 35 mins I really thinking of working in the couch to 5k programme. You think thats a good idea for me or am i still to overweight?

ok i have sitting here 10 mins trying to work out what a RL issue is

I really really really hope Boysaway is a girl/lady!

Yes just keep at it JM. I think we all have an off week here and there. Just dont quit. Keep coming back. Mon -- 50 pool laps.

6 Miles!!!Oh my gosh!!!!!Thats like a full on Marathon for me! Yeah the only reason i went 1.5hrs is i was in a hotel waiting for my flight in the morning and i had NOTHING to do. I just watched The Office on the TV in the gym and i could turn it up as loud as i wanted as no one else was there. Dibaby---Good job weighing in.....i am so going to throw a party when you hit goal. Sunday---62 pool laps

I won a fittness comp! 2 weeks a go the YMCA had us counting our steps for the week. They gave you a conversion for exercises. I did 7 days that week with at least 1 hr 15min a day. Well they added the steps up and i was in the TOP 5! woo hoo! i mean ME! I won a t shirt for being in the top 5 out of about 100 people there.
