Now that all of you are back from the Vegas Bash, and the rest of us Pity Party goers are up off the couch - is anybody willing or interested in participating in an exercise challenge?

I'm not thinking anything drastic - just more than what we're already doing. I think the goal should be for a 'heart healthy' 30 minutes of activity a day, at least 3 days a week. Anything more is a bonus and worth an extra woo-hoo from the group!

Anything counts - weights (Darcy), walking, bike riding (Marie), playing tag with the kids (all the Moms out there), dancing your a** off (Leatha and Lisa).

I know Penni wants to do a 5K here soon, and this would be a way we could all get going with our exercise.

I would love to hear suggestions, comments, any type of feedback.

Do I have any takers?

Lauri, Quit-cher-bitchen and get yer ass movin! WOOF.

Got off work 2 hours early today so I did my exercises.

30 minutes on treadmill

I'm going! I'm going! My daughter will be home soon and I'll drag her butt down to Curves with me.

Betty, you're kicking butt! When can you ride your scooter again? Lauri, I'm counting on you to sweat tonight. I'm walking three times a week, so tomorrow I'm on!

He told me when I am not tender anymore or hurting. I'm gonna give it a few weeks anyway just to make sure. If I get desperate or have withdrawals, I'll jump on behind hubby! lol Right now it is cold and rainy so I'm not missing it at all.

Now that I'm not terrified by my motorcycle I have withdrawls when I'm not on it. It's another disease that I didn't need! Now I can't ride for 3 days cause I'm lending my gloves & helmet to a good friend who bought a bike cause of me & Chris, and he's taking the class tomorrow. It's infectious. Send help!

Curves completed!!! Man-everytime I checked my pulse it was like 80-90%! I wasn't even working that hard! What's up with that? Can chocolate overload cause your pulse to go up? I've got to make the kids hide their candy!!!!

Betty-you are doing great!

Chocolate is loaded with caffeine! Yes, it will increase your heart rate. You shoulda seen me spinning around my neighborhood on Halloween! Chocolate spins me out!

When we got our bikes so did two other people on our street. Now there are two more that want to get them, and we don't have but a couple more houses! They are addicting!

I did a 50 minute walk plus upper body on my home gym. I can't ride my motorcycle for 3 days because I loaned my helmet, gloves and goggles to ANOTHER friend who just bought a bike. His bike came with all the gear, but it won't be delivered till the weekend. He needed my stuff cuz he starts the 3-day motorcycle course today, so he'll be licensed to join us in our Sunday group. That's two friends that bought bikes since I did, one neighbor and my ex-boyfriend in Texas!

Hey Delarla: I want that darn tiara back. I walked 4.7 miles in 1 hour and 45 min. I ROCK!! I walked to Queen's greatest hits and Train's "Jupiter". IT was awesome and I will pay for it tonight. I earned that darn tiara. LOL!!! I have refrained from weighing myself since I showed that 3 lbs gain. So I am looking forward to weighing on Monday. WHOO HOO!! I am gonna kick butt on that scale. HOPEFULLY anyway. LOL!!

Whooooo Hooooo Penni! Those 3 pounds don't have a chance!

Penni, you LOST the challenge. The tiara is mine. Try again. You can walk 47 miles, and I still won. You trying to start a new challenge? You wanna some-a dis?

SIGH!!! I live for challenges. So what is the stakes this time and when is the end?

Hey, Penni! This is great! Got my laptop hooked up at the Holiday Inn and I can actually check up on you guys. My exercise was walking down on Cannery Row in Monterey, CA. We went to the aquarium and shopping and tourist stuff. I'm going to try to get my butt in the fitness room later. Now I'm going to visit family.
