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?

Leatha is going to show us all up! I bought that tape a year ago, and it's still in the box, does that count? All kidding aside, you are doing so good! You will be running circles around us in Galvaston!

By the way, I would be the one they call "clumsey"

Baloney, Betty! You can balance a Harley!!!!

Yeah, I just can't walk!

Betty, really, what size is your Harley? I know it's a big one.

It's a Heritage Ultra Softail classic, an 88 cubic inch, and weighs about 695 pounds. You're right, it is a big one, but it's still my baby!

Got a cure for your leg lift troubles. Try doing them like if do..KEEP BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND WHILE DOING THEM AND YOUR BALANCE WILL BE OK.

Excuse me, Betty! 695 Pounds! Are you serious? How in the world do you balance something like that? The way you're dropping weight, how will you be able to handle that? I am VERY impressed!

It is heavy for me when I first sit it up, but then it's not any problem. It really kind of balances itself, as long as you don't let it tip to one side too much. I haven't been on it since I lost my weight, I better start doing some weight lifting!

It really isn't hard Marie, you get use to it. Come on over, I'll let you try it!

If you can ride a bike 20 miles, you can ride a Harley!

Betty, I am still in a state of shock and admiration over here!! How long have you been riding solo?

Marie

Don't do it.. Stay off that Harley. Once you try it there is no going back. your whole life will be consumed with getting one.

Marie - I have only been riding a couple of years. This is my first motorcycle and I absolutely love to ride. Greg is right, once you ride one, you get hooked and have to have one.

Ha! Ha! Ha! I just want a more cushy bicycle.

Just think, you wouldn't have to petal one like mine, and you still get tons of exercise!

I couldn't even afford the insurance on that thing!!

Leatha, we'll just get Betty to take us for a ride!
