Those are awesome I love those kinda pics whosya! What beautiful colors. Those were so neat...Thanks for sharing! I can't imagine how cold it got there these past few weeks..BRRRRRRRR.

Just checking in... Yesterday I hit my elliptical at home and did 4.0 miles and 483 calories in 39-40minutes. Then I did my own cool down exercises... Today I hit the gym which felt good, and so I did elliptical for 35 min and strength training on abs,legs, and booty... Okay so I felt good that I atleast got to the gym...It was nice... I really don't know how people work out at home..I am sure it's because I have small kids but sometimes I just can't focus, so it is nice to hit that gym and just work out...Okay well have a great day everyone.

Whosyadaddy- how awesome! I read the article..That is so awesome that they did that article on you both..I can't imagine how much it will help others when making important decisions like that..It is awesome that your wife and you have each other...Just awesome.. Stefanie- I used to work with kids and I learned a lot about curriculum so I can only anticipate what that search was like..But I am glad you found one that works for you and your son. It is so important.. Okay well everyone take care and have a great day tomorrow..

Stephanie, I can't imagine how hard it is to pick out curriculum for a sophomore..It's been a bad week for me too. But you know what we can do this! I know this week will be better. I hope yours will be too. Change is hard..We can all do this though! Good luck! Okay so I hit my elliptical at home..But I burnt 450 calories, did forty minutes and some of my zumba moves at home...Not to mention I walked 4.0 miles which is awesome for me! So my baby girl is still so sick so I am hoping hubby will relieve me so I can do some weights tonight...Oh by the way I ordered my Zumba tapes..I am so siked! Have a great day everyone.

Okay well this week was no week to brag about for me..Exercise was just not happening for me..Two kids sick with colds..And I don't know about anyone else but the weather is not helping at all. I am freezing my butt off here..Anyways hoping for a better week this next week..However I got two more pounds off for a total of -85lbs. So now I have to update everything but I would rather update than not loose anything... I did keep up on cardio so that is good. I have decided to buy some Zumba tapes. Since school started back I have only been able to do it once a week and its just not enough..I want to get better at it... Everybody have a great exercise week. Stefanie, glad your back!

Hello Everyone, I am glad you got to meet up that is encouragement! I hope everyone is doing well. Penny, what an awesome job you are doing! Keep up the good work! It's been a bad couple of days with school and my little ones..I am looking forward to having Friday off..I need to hit the gym I have been doing the elliptical at home though..Okay well everyone take care and have a good night and Happy Early FRiday!

Hello everyone, I just wondered how your exercise week was going...Having one of those weeks where I can't get everything done and hit the gym too? Anybody having one of those..I skipped exercise yesterday completely so I have to work extra hard tonight...Multitasking is over taken me this week..Well take care all. Have a great week, I will be back when I can report..

Okay just doing some reporting.. Monday I stayed home and did my elliptical for 45 minutes.. Tuesday, I hit the gym and did 40 min. on the elliptical and strength training for 45 minutes on abs and legs.. Today I will probably hit the elliptical at home..It's been a busy week.. I just wanted to hit the gym but I will get there again tomorrow..

Good job Whosyadaddy! I was horrible yesterday...Then I got on our new site and ready and chickie, straightened me up a little. So last night I made better choices...But today I got up and felt the need to torture myself, and of course I am so sore...Ouch.. I did 30 minutes of Step, 60min Zumba, and 40 minutes elliptical, and abs work for 15minutes of strength training...I am so sore..Then I just came home and went through my whole closet...and 3/4 of my clothes are now laying on my bed... But hey,,I refuse to keep any more old big clothes in there because I am not going back! So it's worth the soreness....every bit of it! LOL! Have a great day!

Okay well I hit the gym today!!! I feel better than yesterday...There is something about going to the gym...It just makes me feel good. 35 minutes on the elliptical, 45 minutes strength training... Whosya, just don't do it.....It's just not worth it...Don't do it!

Okay so here is my playlist, I don't recommend letting your children listen to it but it's been great to exercise too! I tend to have a few artist that I favor more for exercise music.. Hazard to Myself-Pink Baby it's you-JoJo Online-Brad Paisley Ticks-Brad Paisley Before He Cheats-Carrie Underwood Our Song-Taylor Swift Wild Thin- Tone Loc Bust A Move- Young MC Poison- Bell Biv Devoe U Can't touch this- MC Hammer Rump Shaker- Wreckx in Effect My perogative- Bobby Brown Now That We Found Love-Tony! Toni! Tone! Leave Get Out- JoJo Stupid Girls- Pink Nobody Knows-Pink Heartbraker- Pink Leave me alone (lonely)- Pink Family Portrait-Pink Just like a Pill-Pink Okay so I get all my music from LIMEWIRE PRO...

Okay well I did my elliptical at home tonight, and I was so down. I should have just went to the gym... A little down today..It will be better tomorrow...I will hit the gym before I kidnap hubby for a dinner date! I got to get out of this funk, that is for sure...Only 45 minutes on the elliptical.

LOL! Baby girl!

Your the Travelin man! I guess as long as I don't talk myself out of it...before the first fifteen minutes, I am good!

Yeah, kids love to swim. My kids could live in the water...That must be hard leaving the family, sometimes..I am sure you will find somewhere to exercise... Maybe it's just me but it seems like it takes me a good fifteen minutes of exercising to really want to do it? After I get the first fifteen minutes done I am fine...I guess I just dread getting started...Then I don't want to stop. Go figure...So where do they have you headed next week?

You never know you may like the lavendar wash...I know hubby uses my smell good stuff. He thinks it's funny...It's a big joke at our house... You haven't missed a day...Oh that means I am going to have to go to keep up...I know I should. You and hearing everyone on here is forcing me to be more loyal to my exercise program .That is a good thing. I will probably go tomorrow..Maybe I will swim after the elliptical. That would be nice. I would like to go to the gym after church I did last week I am going to try for another..They have another zumba class that day...I am just a little obsessed with the zumba...Could be worse...

Hey Annie, sorry to hear your having a hard time, Annie. I hope they get you better soon... NurseTeresa...I understand about the wheezies, I am an asthmatic my self. I have been at the gym the past 8 days...I wnt again to day. I hope some weight drops off soon...Well I have to make dinner so I hope you all take care..

I doubt it...but I am going to keep trying..It's not that she wasn't a good instructor she just had a different style. It was like tribal dancing instead of what I was used too. It was a little different...She was still good and I still got a work out but it seems like each instructor..does it different and I think you start to like how one person teaches over others. Whosya, you just never know, you may still have a great week! Are you still hitting the gym in the morning? That takes some discipline because I don't think some one could drag me out of bed that early to work out! Your doing great too! Have a good day!

Hey everybody, well I am hitting the gym like a crazy fool lately...Taking tomorrow off...Tuesday I did the elliptical and zumba, I didn't care for the instructor though...then today after lab, I hit the gym again. I did elliptical and weight training..I have been to the gym everyday for the past 8 days OMG...I am not too sore so that is good..Well I hope the weight starts flying off or inches or something...Happy exercising you'all!

Oh Juli, You look amazing, and I am sure you have worked hard for it! I am excited about getting there. The new pic of you is so cute! Your a beautiful lady, and I hope your receiving lots of benefits for your hard work! Congrats! Is it hard for you to take compliments? It is for me I just wonder how others deal with it? I still have over a hundred pounds to loose..I have lost about 80 and still moving...I am looking forward to the 100 pound mark. I never realized how much exercise it took....I am hitting the gym more than I ever have...I never realized how many bad behaviors I had until being banded...I am learning how to face them, but what a challenge....Who knew I would have been here almost five months ago??? I am so thankful I did..

I do Zumba....I really like it. The more I do it the more I love it..I am just hoping to see more results around the waist..They say that zumba works everything....I do it a little lower impact...but it works. It is really big in Ohio gyms right now. A lot of people are doing it. It's considered a cardio class. They move fast paced and it's latin dancing, they use the four step, miranga, and samba..It's a great class it you ever get to try it. Okay so I was buying some new clothes and I think they may only fit for a week. They are already way to baggy. It's like I am between sizes...Don't it figure...Going to thorugh more clothes next week. I am getting the old ones out of my closet! Well I am hitting the gym this evening so I will report in when I get done! Have a great workout everbody.

Nurse Teresa, I am going on Monday and Wednesday, at 12:30 right now and Tues, Thursday at 6:00-6:30. Then I hit the step class and Zumba..This Saturday, Nancy Wilson will be there giving away Rascal Flat Tickets! I will be there doing Zumba! Two of the girls in my Respiratory Therapy class works or has worked at Good Sam! Thanks so much hope to see you at the gym sometime!

I understand completely..I rushed a lot of my stuff. I wanted to get banded before college started..So I did too! I am excited for you! It was the best thing I have ever done...Best wishes! Keep in touch!

Hey everybody, I hit the gym after class today! Elliptical 45 minutes...Strength training 30min... Worked my arms and obliques today.. Dibaby, I am sorry your feeling so bad...I hope you get better soon. You guys are making me crave Dairy Queen...

Thanks whosyadaddy! I appreciate all the encouragement! I checked out your page it is pretty cool! Your girls are adorable! Best of Luck on Week #2 of the Challenge. We can do it!
