Okay here is the April Challenge. Pick your level and intensity. We need to check in here at least every 2 days because accountability is important.

Pick a target level for how often & how long you plan to workout,

and we’ll be off… I’m shooting for Level 7~ Elite this month! Yeah I have to start it with a bang!

The smaller the seat the more comfortable it is. If the seat is smaller you have less of your bones smooshed on it.

You also just have to get a few weeks of riding in before the area down there toughens up.

Smaller.....interesting. I've actually shied away from the smaller seats, thinking exactly the opposite. I might have to try that, but I have to wait until it warms up more, I'm an even bigger wus about being cold. I won't be out there riding or doing anything that keeps me outside very long until it's 55 degrees MINIMUM!!

Yeah yesterday was a little chilly for me but I had to get out there. Now today, though, it is beautiful outside.

It's raining, raining, raining here, and currently it's only 48. After today, though, it's supposed to be 58 or warmer, if I can dodge all the rain in the forecast, I might get in some bike riding....

Awesome. You can always come and join us over on the bycyling thread lol. Good times.

I just got in an hour of walking on my lunch break. Hopefully I will get out this afternoon on a ride as well.

:biggrin: I've only done 10 minutes of walking today, that rash is a killer. Not sure what I'm going to do....unless I can figure out how to lift 'em up, I may have to wait until I get home and do an hour of weight training or something. Which sucks, I gotta tell ya. I had a sports bra somewhere that used to be tight, but that was about 40 pounds ago, I don't know how much it will help now.

OK, so I refuse to buy any new bras until I'm down a size, and since the girls have deflated, my bras don't give me the same support that they used to. quote]

I'm in the same boat... My rib cage is now at 37 inches -- not a 38 any more, but not a 36 yet either! And though the girls have deflated, they haven't shrunk all the much - just sagging more now! But ya still have to scoop all that flesh up into the bra! :eek: Which means that my a size is a 38 H. An H cup. H. What the frig is THAT!!!????!!! I was banded at a 56DD. Not even nursing my babies was I an H. I have bought new day bras twice on this journey smaller, but I've not been exercising enough since the 38 days began to warrant buying a new sports bra! :bolt: The girls were slip sliding around in my satin once I really got going on the treadmill last night. :eek: There are not 2 cents to rub together at the end of the month thanks to my husband :eek:, and I just know finding a sports bra in 38H will be a pricey prospect! :eek: But it might be time to bite the bullet & get a new sports bra...

I've just completed my 2nd jaunt on the treadmill of this challenge!! Wahoo - yeah ME! :thumbup: Off to bed...

I managed an hour of walking today. A little less arm-pumping, but plenty of sweatage goin' on!

Awesome job Zannie and TG.

I got out for about 12 miles on the bike yesterday so now I am officially caught up on my workouts. Today however I am not sure where I am going to squeeze one in. But I am going to fit it in there somehow. Somehow.

How's it coming, Skinny? Thanks for spurring me on y'all... I really needed this camaraderie. I appreciate it more than y'all realize!

Going out of town for a few days -- plenty of walking in store, so I ought to hit my 3rd workout req with no problems!

Hi All ! Sorry I've been gone so long - really super busy at work right now. I am spending 3 hours dancing with my students each morning to get ready for a big spring concert. Dancing to "Grease" and "Hairspray" really give you a workout. Talk about fast !:cursing: Whew !!! Hey it looks like everyone is doing Great ! I can't wait to get out of the 200's, and to hit the 100 lbs. loss . I've decided to have a massage when I do.That's something I've never done before. Gotta go now , just popping in to say "Hey". Have a good one !

Well, here it is, Friday afternoon, and I have only gotten in 15 minutes of walking so far today (pathetic), so I have a 45 minute workout staring me in the face this evening. It's a good thing DH is going out turkey hunting after work, I can have it done and over with by the time he gets home.

Well yesterday was beautiful out and I got in a nice 25 miles ride!!!! It took me almost 2 hours and was awesome.

How has everyone's weekends been? Check in please!

Yesterday was a complete waste for me as far as getting in a workout. Today I will be doing SOMETHING, even if it's just on my treadmill. I'll check in later with an update.

BG, I'm jealous, I went out to check the rideability status of my bike, and it had 2 flat tires, and the handlebars are loose for some reason, and I can't get it to tighten up, and DH (d is not meaning dear today) is too effing busy turkey hunting yesterday and golfing today to fix it for me.
