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?

Well, why don't you go get some chaps take a pic and post it for us and we'll tell you the truth! Honest! Please Marie!

Maybe if you wear them riding a bike I won't feel so damn silly wearing them on my motorcycle. I said I "bought" them... I didn't say I'll wear them! I feel goofy!

LOL But I thought this was the exercise channel? umm thread? Well, if you chapettes don't mind, I am going to say that I exercised two, count them, two days in a row at curves!

Betty, I have a black leather fringy coat that I am going to be wearing 50 pounds from now. I will be posting a very HOT picture then!!!! I will even wear those jeans that I am holding on to!

Everyone is going to be wearing some fringe! :banana :banana :banana

Go for it Marie, but I want a picture too!

Laurie - You will look cool too!

I walked 30 minutes on the treadmill tonight! Back in the grove as they say!

Sorry, Lauri, but I figured I'd change the subject so noboby would notice I'm not exercising. I met my personal challenge of 3 times a week till now. I only did one day this week, but I'm giving up exercising for a week or two to see if I can get my wound to heal. I can't stand it any more, it's been leaking 6 months. Disgust and depression are setting in. It seems to dry up, but any physical activity opens it again. And getting it wet opens it. It's dry for the moment, so I'm not moving. I'm not bathing. I'm not even riding my motorcycle or wearing a bra or jeans - just baggy sweats and moo-moos for a week or two. I'll see you guys on this challenge thread in a couple weeks. I'm not even showering today. It's going to be a stinky week, but at least I have a bidette! Peee-Uuuuuuu!

I'm holding my nose as I type this one handed, Sure hope you shower before Dec 6 Lisa

I got some chapps to wear because you all were. I put them on and go shopping.. If anyone ask I'm just saying the Hog is in the shop... Did get some weird looks this morning. So I trimmed the pick lace off the chapps. Now the Powder Blue Chapps look better.

Lisa-It's probably good that you don't exercise if you aren't going to bath!!! But really-I am truly sorry that you are having such a hard time. I commend you for doing as much as you do! Take it easy and get better! Let us know how you are doing. I will be praying for you.

Curves this AM but then I stopped and grabbed a burrito and a large coke! I guess I will have to go back this evening with Brittany and try it again.

Hey do yall remember the movie, Son in Law- CHEEK CHILLERS!!!! If you haven't seen the movie-watch it. Wouldn't that be a site!

Greg, you've gotta stop! You don't want to be responsible for making DeLarla's wound open while she's ROFLHAO!

Too late, it just split open as my Adkin's protein shake shot out my nose. Thanks for the visual, Greg.

LMAO at cheek chillers! It's November, those'll be some rosey cheeks!!

Good lord Greg... however am I going to get rid of this image of you in powder blue??

I seriously need some exercise... does laughing til your sides hurt count?

I got off work early today :banana :banana :banana

So, I got my 30 minutes on the treadmill done already! :laugh

Up and down the ladder again today. I HATE painting. I'm pretty sure I'll hate laying the floor even more. DH is a retired flooring contractor -- so he REALLY hates it, but he'll do most of that part. Poor man....

I think this is all the exercise I can handle right now.

Curves this AM and PM. Weigh-in is coming up shortly. No weight lost-I eat too much at night and I DONT DRINK MY WATER!!!! Why is it that we do the things we know we shouldn't and we don't do the things we should? Is there a "Drinking water thread?" I could sure use some encouraging in that area.
