Hey you guys I have to say Thank You. You guys really motivated me last night. I have been doing a little bit of floor exercise in the evenings and walking more at work but when I got home last night I really wanted to do something. I did a full workout of stretches and floor exercises last night. I have been sitting still at 50 for too long know. I have become content and scared to do anything more. I have not reached my end of the year goal so know it will become my new Valentines Day Goal and I will reach it.

I will lose 12 pounds by Feb 15. I can do it and I will. I will exercise everyday, no matter how much time it is I will do it.:banana :banana :banana

I need you guys to ask me everyday, did you exercise or what did you do. Thanks

Thanks puddin...

I looked into it but don't think i can afford it but it sounds really REALLY awesome... good luck

Hey, no problem. I paid $495 for the sucker. Yeah, it's pricey. But it's super cool! I figure I paid $13,500 for the surgery, what's another $500 to round it off, right?

Very true... but my mom and i are both having surgery and then it would be a 1000$ because she would want one too! lol but maybe I'll get one and see if she likes it...

I went to Take The Challenge last night and Reggie worked us. I feel like that burned some good calories.

Thursday was a good 2 mile walk in the morning and then the pool for 1 1/2 hours. Today I will do the Walk Away the Pounds Tape and if the sun is out when I get home, go back to the pool for 30 to 60 min.

Calorie-Burners Around the House

Find out how to add a little exercise (and weight loss) to your ordinary routine.

Sure, an hour of cardio burns the calories and makes you feel great. But there are other ways to find "bonus" exercises that will keep you moving towards your weight-loss goals.

Biggest Loser Club fitness expert Michael Scholtz says, "Any activity you do helps burn calories. It truly doesn't matter if it's cleaning the house, walking the dog, walking the stairs, or interval training."

Michael's advice:

Combine around-the-house activities (such as gardening or cleaning the house) with your usual cardio sessions. "The benefit of any high-level cardio is that it burns more calories. Or, more specifically, it burns them more quickly. Do BOTH, and you burn calories in BOTH."

Make sure the extra activity isn't undone by extra eating. "Don't forget that how much you take in is crucial no matter how much exercise you do."

Pick activities that interest you. The more you enjoy something, the more likely you are to do it. Washing the car might burn calories. But if you hate it, forget it. Walk the dog, instead. Or take a stroll with your kids down to the mall.

I feel good ( dunnanana like I knew that woould dunnanana) I feel fine...oh ok I walked Saturday and Sunday. Not only did I walk but I did 3 miles each day at the Point (dunnanana) he he he he I've been short chagning myself with doing 2 miles at the the track. I think the 2 miles helped because I knew I was not going to do 3 miles, I would try to shave some time off my walk. So on Sunday I did it 4 minutes faster then I normally would.

Saturday was no joke, I got to the park late, about 8:30 and the sun was beaming at 9. I had about 10 more minutes to walk but I didn't feel right (I had my water bottle) and my breathing was not right soooooo I spotted a shady bench and sat down. God is so good. I sat there closed my eyes and there was the most gentle breeze and it was cool. While I was walking and sweating I felt nothing. But this breeze was beautiful, I described it to my daughter as God blowing real gentle, cool air on my face. Oh wow it felt so nice. I calmed down, relaxed and put my head, to the side (like when you are in front of a fan), to the other side, up and down, oh it just felt so good. I thought it was going to eventually stop but it did not stop until I got up to finish my walk. I sat there for 15 minutes, I prayed, watched the planes come in and go out 1 right after another, I made 2 phone calls and I was refreshed.

Going walking early tomorrow to beat the heat and the crowds, hopefully. he he he yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
