Well, as one has not been started yet, I'll start my 2nd month in a row challenge thread.

Last night I made it into the gym and did my upper body and cardio in one hard stretch.

This morning I did the same with lower body and cardio as tonight there is a get together for our Lt that retired last Friday. Have to make that.:thumbup: No beer though. I've had my quota for the week. (ok, a little more than my quota:rolleyes:)

Had my monthly appt with the PA yesterday. She keeps calling me her star patient for what I've done with the program.:thumbup: Said as I have lost 49% of my excess body weight, (by my count that means they think I should weigh about 175 :thumbup:. Ain't no way that is happening) I no longer have to come in each month. I can set my own schedule. I'm going to go 2 mos this time and see how it goes.

Ok everyone, let's start up the next month and keep the encouragement for each other going.

1 more week until my next 5k. This one will be more hilly, so I may not get the same time. But, just doing it is the important part,right?:wub:

Not too much to report for this week. Just been walking. I skipped spin class on tuesday in favor of some overtime at work....need the $$$$$$!!!! But I've been walking daily. Just got back from my hour long walk with doggy and I'm super sweaty!

i actually managed to do 25 laps of swimming of just front crawl at a fast pace. Im triathlon training.

Today-

20 min. elliptical

30 min. treadmill

30 min. nautilus variations

I'm back! After 2 1/2 months off for plastic surgery and then my daughter's wedding. It feels wonderful to be moving again. I've been walking about 3 miles a day for the last 3 weeks and I started back with my trainer last week. I've lost some strength, but the my form is still good. Feels very strange sometimes on my tummy. Lots of new aches and pains and my knees are acting up. I really need to get back into shape, because my knee problems were a thing of the past before the big break. I start back with my pilates instructor on Tuesday. I've really missed the group and exercising. I didn't know how much it did for my mentally as well as physically. I want to lose the last 15 pounds and can really use the support, so I'm going to start reporting in. Nice to catch up with some of you and read about the new members of this thread! JMCambra: What kind of program did the nutrionist put you on? I need to shake things up a bit.

Ok, been having problems with the site locking up my computer over the last couple of weeks so I haven't been able to post on here. However, I have been doing my workouts faithfully.

I'll start back up on the posting now that the problems seem to have gone away.

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to say hi and was wondering if I could join you in June! Will you be starting a new thread this month?

Several of you I know or have exchanged posts with already, Ceradad, Whosyaddady (Hi Daddy !), Kareyquilts, Luluc, but I'm not sure how you do things around here, so please fill me in if there is anything I need to know.

I will not be working out the entire month as I am having some surgery done next Friday, but I am going to try to get 8 workout sessions in between now and then, and I am currently working my way through the Couch to 5K running program.

Have a great night everyone :smile2:!

i'll go start a june thread. had an icky 2 wks with 2 unfils & dental surgery with one more next monday - but i'm up and running again.
