New motorcycle! Wow, you go! I bet you will have a blast shopping for that!

Okay well just got back from the gym and I am a little wiped out...I only did the elliptical two times this week and I am telling you, I can tell a difference...It's like I am not conditioned as well. Okay well I did zumba and the crunches, but had to get home to hear from my study buddy so I can hammer these books. I was a little off today, its like I couldn't keep timing or something...Well not coordinated the greatest but I did it... SO I just thought I would check in!!

Ceradad

That was painful reading "like paint drying". That was funny...Thanks I will remember that!! I hear it's addicting. Everyonce in awhile some of my teacher buddies have joined leagues...I may have to take some lessons first. Although for this summer I would like to find a softball league. Have you all ever done sand volleyball. Its hard but it's fun too! I am so looking forward to summer. I mean I am feeling so good right now, I mean this summer is going to be explosive for me!!! I can't wait! It's like the first summer of the rest of my life..I am so siked about that. I mean I have never felt so good, I can't wait to really be active this summer. Sounds silly! :-)

Whosyadaddy, what don't you do? Your quite talented, riding, running, swimming, cycling, now tennis! Your talented!!! I am really not any good but boy I love playing tennis. I would like to learn to play golf one day, but I think my hubby would have a cow at me since he can't stand it. LOL! Take care!

I might be out of your way..Okay well just let me know. Please don't feel like you have too!! But whenever you get a chance, we will meet up one day!! LOL!

Hit the gym today,I worked out on the eliptical for 30 min and strength training. It felt great,but I can't wait for zumba tomorrow...I am hitting the books this weekend pretty hard, but i have to make time for some zumba...Anyways. I am ready to get to Thursday because it is my last final...Thanks all for your support...Ceraded, I agree totally about the triangle. I know I have to change it all... I am hopeful about summer going to look for someone who wants to play tennis...I love early morning games, so I hope to find someone who can go with me...Okay well have a good workout weekend! Thank God it's Friday.

Okay back in action, I hit the gym this morning!! It was awesome...Then of course I hit the books...I am so excited Thursday at 1:00! I am done and I am on spring break! Okay so I hope your all working out and having a great week! So whosyadaddy, you still coming to my town?

I have been banded since 8/13/07. I am down 94lbs..Hoping to get to my first goal by March 31, of 106lbs down...BUt if not that is okay too because I am getting this weight all off at some point.. Okay well during that week I am good anyday if you all want to meet up? SO lets see if we can get a good group together!!! Well I hope your fill goes good!!! Do you belong to the Y or a gym? I go to premier ladies fitness in Huber...Our zumba class is great! Okay Take Care!!!

Karey,

I saw your pics!! You look like your doing fabulous! I am so happy for you and I am glad your doing so well..Please keep us posted!! Take care!

Whosyadaddy!!! Congrats on the fill!! You are rockin!!!! Stefanie, I can't imagine being overfilled, but I am so glad your feeling better!! It's not worth it if your miserable!! I bet that food was delicious

Hey all I just wanted to check in...Had a long orientation day..I got good news, I thought I did so bad on my final today, and my teacher didn't score to of my questions right and then she ended up giving us like two points. Then I took my last quiz today and I got two points higher than before!!! I was so happy! It seems silly, but this Pharmacology class has been kicking my butt!! I know someone upstairs is helping me out because boy I am sure thankful for it!! I went for a walk today.It was like 50 degrees and well that is just awesome, so me and my dog went for a walk. It was a good just to get a little bit of exercise..I was so excited at lunch today, one of the cashiers looked at me and said, "Wow you have really lost weight haven't you, and well that made me feel so good because sometimes I wonder, if I am the only one that sees it!! Okay you all have a good night!!

Whosyadaddy, you down 6 lbs? You go!!!!!! What an awesome job!! Well my advice, make sure you have plenty of time...Don't spread yourself to thin!!! I got myself in deep waters!! But I know I can do this...It may just take me longer. I took Spanish in high school! But our town has a lot of workers here that work on the farms and landscaping places, so I can pick up on a few things they say...but not much although some of our zumba music is in spanish so I have been picking up a few words! That is awesome if your company will reimburse you. Okay take care all, off to cook dinner and hit the books. Take Care!!!

Welcome Tarasa and Bridgette!! I am so excited for you all!! Congratulations on starting your new life!! I hope your doing well, and I am so glad your so close to all of us!! I live a little north in Clark/Bethel Township, but I would love to get together sometime!! What are you all doing the week of the 24-28? I would love to do lunch or something that week!!! Okay get back with me....Take Care!! Welcome to our thread!!!!!!

Okay all so I couldn't take it. I hit the gym this afternoon, then I went for a walk with the dog because it was so nice here...I couldn't resist...How horrible. I really need it emotionally. I think that is what people don't understand, sometimes exercise isn't just for physical but mental as well. So, I didn't get to do zumba but I worked my Lat pull down,strength exercises,and abs. Anyways, thank you all for the support! I don't know how you all do it either...I couldn't imagine shuffling a job in the mix...The kids and my school is enough for me..Although I did all my general education classes, worked a job and took care of kids so...now the classes are just tougher...Oh well have to move passed this. Anyways, Whosyadaddy, let me know as you get to Ohio, I will give you my number so we can meet up for Starbucks or something!! Hey congrats in signing up for the race!!! I think it is awesome, puts all your hard work to the test!! Next week will be so much better. You guys are all doing awesome!!Welcome NYGirl!!

Just checking in you all. I didn't get to do zumba because my girlfriend made me feel bad for not studying. So I didn't go because I did need to get a better grade, and guess what still didn't do great on the test. I am so frustrated...Just having a lot of bad days...latley. So I guess my gym time is basically getting cut out until, after Final Exam next week. Don't get me wrong I want to exercise too. I feel like I need to exercise to but I know I have to study. What a horrible position to be in. I am not giving up Saturdays, I feel like I need that, just to make it through, but for the next two weeks, I guess that is all I can do...I feel like the gym is my only outlet..What hurts the most is that no one knows how much working out really means to me.. Okay well I felt the need to gripe..It's just been a rough day! Take care all!!

Wow, I don't blame you, I probably would have thought about staying a few more days too!! That's cool I could handle a pool side job!!!! LOL!! Well you were missed on here!! Hope you have great workouts this week

That would be so cool whosyadaddy! I am so jealous of your hot weather when I was snowed in all weekend in dumb Ohio!! Lucky duck!! But hey its supposed to get to 37 today, and I am okay with that as long as there is no snow...I really hope you get to come to Dayton, that would be so cool!! I didn't get to the gym because we had snow levels and it was suggested not to drive, so stuck in...So sad..But I made a cool new CD with some of my zumba favorites..Yeah!! So I was getting busy at the house..My kids were laughing then trying to do it too!!!!

Whosyadaddy!!! So glad to see you! Hope you had a great vacation!!! Yeah right...I don't even think I am going on screen anywhere..I wished I could do it that good. I have been trying out other instructors...They are all really good, but I am not into the jumping thing so I so the jump stuff lo impact...I found another instructor that is really good as well! So I am excited about that! Stress is killing me this week...Big test tomorrow.. I am looking forward to hitting zumba tonight at 9:00. Until studying my butt off!!! Take care everyone!!

Stef,

I don't know about anyone else but I would much rather you posting on here with us than worried about the spreadsheet!!! I haven't been the greatest at keeping up with tracking my goals, and I am sure not doing 300min in cardio still. So as far as I am concerned please don't feel obligated!! Glad to see you posting!!

Karey~ wow, I can't believe your up and posting. You go girl!!

Okay all well had such a great day last week and was hoping it would last, but another blast from Winter is upon us in Ohio...Supposed to get any where from 6-12 inches of snow...Yuck!!! So no gym for me on Friday, I just hope I can get to zumba tomorrow.. Okay, Take care all!! Karey get some rest and take care!!! I hope you have great workouts!!

Hi Alynne,

It does seem like that is a really tough surgery, but I know one day you will be happy once your completely healed!! Take care, I will be thinking of you!! Hey quick question, as your body got smaller, did it help motivate you to never go back? Just wondering? I just wonder if it pushes people more once they get down to goal, to stay there because they feel good about themselves, or they like where they are at?

Wow, Ceraded, you have had a pretty big day!! Okay well I hit the gym again tonight..I went for one zumba class and ended up staying for twenty minutes of another wow!! It was awesome so 100 minutes of cardio and worked abs..

Okay all, not sure where your at, whosyadaddy, are you soaking up all the sun??? Okay well went to the gym to feed my new zumba addiction twice already this week!! Woohooo!! Tonight, I stayed for twenty minutes of a second class!! I was pretty excited about that!! Okay well take care!!

Congrats!!!!!! Ceraded, you did it!!! How wonderful does it feel? You go!!!!!!!!!! That is an awesome!! Congratulation, what a wonderful accomplishment. Keep up the great work!!!

I hit the gym, and I was so excited did zumba, and abs, and my lat pull down tonight!! Woo hoo!!! Stefanie~ your back!! So glad to see you..

Well your kicking butt! You go girl...I can see where golf could be fun!!

I also walked the dog today since it was so nice here..Take care....Have a good week!

Karey~ My thoughts are with you as you go through this tranformation!!! I am excited for you!! I will try to keep checking up on you!! I know you'll do great!!

Ceraded~ If your doing that great and still just getting over the sickness that is awesome!

Where is whosyadaddy and stef ? I miss you both!!

I hit the gym Saturday, and did my zumba thing!! Then I worked out all my muscles and abs....Needless to say it kicked my butt, all over again.

I know I must not be working hard enough at home.. It's monday now, and my goal is to tuck kids in bed tonight and hit the gym for zumba and cardio on the elliptical tonight..I am thinking I may take my dog for a walk at one of the high schools this afternoon...I am so stressed with school, I figure I need to get some exercise. I know it will make me feel better. The weather is awesome today! Bright Sunny skies, and in the 50's..It makes me so happy to see this weather...I will enjoy it as tomorrow back into the 30's. Tomorrow is my fill day...I am happy about that..I know I need one..I am down one pound this week so that made me happy...But boy I am so close to 100 lbs off I can taste it!! Okay well I hope everyone has a great workout week!!!!
