Janet, I walked 5 miles last night, after my board meeting. I was talking to DD and she was looking up humidity in NV 5% then looked up Mi 76% and this was at 10:00 p.m. our time. It had already dropped some. So sweat I am was my name. lol

We have a rail trail here that I have been walking on. It is 9.5 miles long, can bike, walk, roller blade anything non-motorized. It's been really stupid of me not to use it until now.

Joyce, how was Lady Gaga. I would love to see her.

Apples, hugs sent your way.

Cheri, good job on throwing away that candy.< /p>

Laura, Nels is a lucky little boy that's for sure.

Phyl, take care of your back.

Well better get to work.

LauraK

Julie, way to go on walking and riding your bike. Every little bit helps. Good job.

LauraK

Janet, checking in on the exercise. 1 mile on lunch, 6.5 miles tonight. Love that rail trail.

Linda, thank you for the kind words. All I can say is we are working on it. Actually he has been walking with me, not every night but a few. It is good for him too, needs to get some of that weight off and is helping him mentally. Feels so good not to have that hatered/dislike, scared to see him feeling.

My DD seems to be settling in, not sure if she has everything put away, you know kids. lol She likes her job, learning a lot about gov ways, & seeing some incredible sights. She already made her reservations to fly home for Christmas. Got a great price, and the time off.

Joyce, way to go on coming back from vaca down in lbs.

Melissa, you can do it...

Apples, hugs.

Peaches, good job on exercise.

Charlene, roll those dice got to have strong hands too.

LauraK

Janet, checking in. I walked 4 miles again today. I feel wonderful and sweaty. Also, got two walls painted and all the trim. That counts too? up and down ladder.

Hi Everybody,

Not back with ex BF really, just talking and spending time. Not sure if this will continue. He is the friend that has the brain tumor. Everything seemed to be going good, making plans, living, then the woman he was seeing called & said she was researching his tumor & basically told him he has less time then they thought. The Drs don't know how much time, They don't even think it's cancerous yet. Why would someone do this. I am pissed majorly. This just seemed to suck the life right out of him. I gave him the book "Last Lecture" to read, it's about living not dying. Really seemed to be helping him, now he is pushing everyone away. I feel like a yoyo and very emotional.

This is not setting me back it's pushing me to walk more. Janet you are in my head the whole time I walked. Did another 4 miles last night. I am taking your challenge and walking with it, pun intended.

Don't feel like much of a friend to you all because all I seemed to do is vent. I am sorry.

LauraK

Linda, We were broke up for 1 1/2 yrs. Feels good to talk about everything. A big part of the problem before both ways. I stopped talking because it did no good and let it happen. We still have a lot of stuff to get thru before this is going to work, but having fun now. He's been my walking partner this week so it makes me want to walk more. lol

LauraK

Apples, you are better than a gold star multi-tasker. Kick some A$$ if it is needed. Families suck some times.

Charlene, glad your DD is ok, that is scary.

Great, yahoo another scumbag off the streets. Glad it is settled for your DH.

Janet, You are the exercise queen.

Julie, you are always so busy, that is exercise.

I only walked on lunch today. Tomorrow working on my adopted flower bed uptown and walking and boating.

Things seem to be going good with the old/new BF. We are doing a lot of talking seeing where it is going. Not jumping into anything, but it is a start.

LauraK

Apples, Hugs and prayers to you and your family.

LauraK

Hi All.

Just a quick post should be working.

Janet, just wanted to let you know I have been walking nightly and most days at lunch also. Almost 10 miles in the last two days. Feels so good to get back at it. Thanks for kicking my butt. lol

LauraK

Linda, beautiful pics. what a lovely family

LauraK

ALL RIGHT JULIE, YEE HAW IT'S ON NOW. So glad you got your appointment with mayo

Great, that sounds like a wonderful time you are having. Would love to travel and see the Riverwalk. Someday.

Julie, glad you got to vent to someone, hopefully you will get some answers from the dr.

Gwen, it is easy to find excuses about exercising, but Janet will call you on it. I've been slacking but now can say my lunch time walks are back in place.

I think I heard on the news this am that we have 90% or so humidity today, not raining either and temp up to 87. Michigan's got it all, humidity, mosquitos, heat, cold. As the saying goes "wait 5 minutes it'll change".

Heading up north tonight to Indian River, can't wait to get on a boat and relax. It's called the inter-coastal Water way. You can go from Lake Huron thru the rivers into many different lakes. TGIF

LauraK

Apples, have a great weekend. Good juju coming your way on the dental day.

LauraK

Charlene, you can do zumba. Our instructor says it's a "zumba party" just do what you can, make up your own moves, just keep moving is the concept. I love it and can't wait for it to start back up again. It actually gets harder when you learn more of the moves because you don't have to try to catch up with the moves you are doing them. I've been to many many classes and I still go in a different direction at times, I just laugh and move on.

Only 20% humidity? dang I could only wish lol

LauraK

Apples, we'll all put the "mommy pressure" on him with our thoughts. He'll never stand a chance against our thoughts as a group. lol

Janet, your pics give the whole story. Work hard and you will succeed.

Gwen, loved the poem.

Laura, the pics are great. My nephew is in London right now studying, well that is what he is supposed to be doing. He has a few more weeks to go.

LauraK

Hey Phyl today is my bandiversary, but mine is only one year. Congrats to you.

Gwen, welcome aboard, they will answere any thing you can ask.

Laurak

Janet, I know I let the crap get to me now it's time to get back at it. Only I can do it.

Hi All,

One year ago I was in surgery starting the first step of my new life. The best thing I have ever done for myself.

Jodi, so sorry about having to put your baby down. Some times we have to let go. I was saved earlier this year about that, but I know it won't be forever.

Lori, way to go on the exercise.

Janet, your Bella is so cute. She sounds like so much fun.

Eva, good job on swimming.

I am stilling remodeling my exercise room so the treadmill is still not moving. No excuses just been to lazy. Let myself fall out of the habit when DD was home. It's up to me to get my behind moving. Will walk on my lunch today.

LauraK

Melissa, glad you are hanging..

Lori, Glad you had fun with DD and shopped/looked the baby dept. That's got to be fun.

Tapeworms, gross..

LauraK

You go girl!!!!!!!!

Janet, you are an inspiration.

LauraK

Cheri, That is so sad. Makes your heart ache, for your friend and your family.

Janet, love your new fur baby. So cute.

LauraK

Julie,

Nothing new, his daughter was there so we haven't talked again. Just a few emails. So I don't know anything more. Kind of in limbo

Laurak

Laura, we were posting at the same time. That is wonderful news about your Dad. I'm glad he agreed to help, that will take some pressure off your mom.

So funny about xmas in July, I love that.

LauraK

Linda, have a great time in FL. All spiffed up now and you were already beautiful. Have fun.

Jodi, Welcome back, I've missed your posts. Hope it was great.

LauraK

Yep, just my luck I didn't win. Checked my tickets online when I got back
