Hey all!! Okay so it's March, and a lot of us are hoping for sunny, motivating days! I hope everyone doesn't mind, but I started a new thread for this month!! Have a great month of exercise!! Where is everyone?:thumbup:

JM said she was taking a break from exercising for a little while..

I miss her too...i think we should get an invite to her wedding.

Daddy - Aw, shuckers...but she has a lot on her plate, for sure. Hey, if we don't get an invite, maybe we should crash it?!?!? LOL

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ceradad - What?!?!? No Speedo?!?!? Jeez. I told you I wanted pictures, too! LOL No matter...I'm still looking forward to hearing how it goes!

Wedding Crashers...i love that movie

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!!

Hey Jess........sorry about the rough week. Yeah its hard to juggle everything and i think you should be concertaing on your finals right now. I know youll be back in full force afterwards.

Well next week is gona be busy for you and ill be in columbus too...shame...My plan is Toledo on Monday...Columbus and maybe Dayton on Tuesday and Cleveland the rest of the week.

Big News!: I signed up for a run/race in Green Bay on June 14th. Its a 10k and it benifits a nursing school that gives out schoolarships. Me in race! How weird is that!

Its called the Bellin Run in Green Bay

Today: 40 min run (5K) 25min swim.

Ceradad - What?!?!? No Speedo?!?!? Jeez. I told you I wanted pictures, too! LOL No matter...I'm still looking forward to hearing how it goes!

Trust me, you don't want to see that.:huh2:

daddy, congrats on signing up for the race. Keep us posted on the training.

Jess, school sucks. I'm going through the same thing with work, school and working out. No fun at all.

For cardio today, I did 65 minutes on thge elliptical machine for 5.3 miles and 1094 calories. Tomorrow will be my first attempt at the mileages for the mini triathlon. Should prove interesting. I've never swam 1/2 mile straight. Then to follow it up with 14 miles on bike and 5k running/walking, WHEW! I'm tired just thinking about it.:cool2:

I'm in!!!! I joined the gym yesterday and just found this thread today - I'm stoked.

Wow...DADDY signs up for a 10k and CERADAD is signed up for a tri. This is just amazing! Would y'all have imagined such a thing just one year ago?!?!?

Maybe one of these days I'll quit just talking about it and actually start running...LOL. :cool2: I would SO love to do a tri!

I'm so proud of you two and everyone else here! :huh2:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome NYGIRL01! Glad to see you found us! Post often!

Yeah thanks Stef!!!

They have a tri here ill be doing in the summer too. Its a 3mile run, 1/4mile swim (in lake Michigan!) and a 15 mile ride.

Im looking foward to that too.

Welcome NY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD for you!!!!! were in NY r you.

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!!

Gosh im even tempted to start learning Spanish on top of my drums and French because it will REALLY benifit my job and earnings....and my compnay reimburses all tutuion.

I know i should take english! look at my pitiful spelling.

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!!!

Wass for dinner.

Yes im down 6 pounds! Woo hoo

And yesterdays fill is freaking awesome!

I know i should take english! look at my pitiful spelling.

Too funny! :drool:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, I couldn't take it any longer...I went for an unfill today. My fill was a full CC last time, three weeks ago and I lost 17 pounds in that time. I haven't been able to eat much of anything. I tried to be a trooper, but it was really starting to piss me off. Then when hubby and I were at Olive Garden last night and I couldn't eat Soup?!?!? Oh no! I left a message and got in today. She took out .4 CC and I went to Jason's Deli tonight. IT FELT SO GOOD TO ACTUALLY EAT SOMETHING! I couldn't eat very much at all, of course, but I didn't get stuck on the first bite, either. It was awesome! I feel so much better now.
