Everyone is Welcome 

 

 

* whew! *

I'll check in with full stats tomorrow- it's late for fledgling 'Meadow Larks!'

Just finished my 9th month plan for today... Gym routine with heavy-for-me weights for 1 hour, 30 min. mat/ab/etc. exercises, and 1 hour with my beloved rebounder and Dolly Parton singing with banjo backup...!

Love it! Did it!!! On track for a Great month! YIPPEE!!!!

4 quarts water, too!

Gonna' be GREAT in 2008!!!! Especially for the GOING FOR GOLD GANG!!!

P.S.-   * whine! *    I want some KAMUT!!!  * snif! snif! wail!!! *    

DWF, I just grab a dumbell that is heavy, but I know I'll be able to do at least 15 reps with. Then I just start doing bicep curls, chest presses, lateral raises, tricep extensions, etc... I generally go until I feel like I can't anymore and than I make myself do 5 more reps. Sometimes I just makeup exercises when I'm trying to target a certain spot. Plus there's like situps, crunches, squats, lunges, etc... That you can do. Hold a weight and it's considered weights! LOL

That's what I do mostly! 

* REALLY pitiful wail!!! *

It's lunch time and only Mel is awake?

* waves to Mel! *

I wanted to wait for everybody...!

* snif! *

I CAN'T wait anymore! I WON'T! I WON'T!!!!

(We once had a toy that said that, lol!)

My exercise paid off! I thought I'd gain due to muscle recovery and being more 'early' than awfully late to bed after my orange...

But I was wrong... I'm now 35.5 gone-for-good!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!

I just finished about 2 miles of walking our road, too! Hopefully my loss rate this month will see a big boost, as I try to push the various cardio options I have... Hope so!!!

GOOD MORNING and AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY!!!

SHOULD I HIRE A BUGLER...??????????

I'll catch up with everybody and post stats later today...once folks reappear!!!

I have only written here once or twice. Sorry to be "lurker". So here I am writing to say hi again!

I am very proud to say that I am 2 lbs away from a weight I have not seen in years. I went to the gym after work yesterday even though I was dragging and really didn't want to go. I was proud of myself for all of that.

Wanted to share! How is the new year treating anyone? I noticed my gym is a lot busier, which is annoying for me but good for them.

So good job everyine and keep it up!!!

 

Erin... the lurker

Glad you're here! I'm a lurker, too!

( especially when folks don't want ta' WAKE UP!!! )

Happy for you! Good Job!!!

I didn't feel like going to my gym either last night after waiting for company to leave. Much less rebounding late-till-early...! But it did me good!!!

* happy sigh! * 

 

Lurker Three here! It's been a great Holiday Season with all the family and friends, but I have not been exercising like I should have over the last couple of weeks.  Went to the beach for New Year's and did do some bike riding and beach walking which was great.   Food wise I was not very conscious and I guess that's why I gained back 2 lbs.  However, This week I am back on track and plan not to fall off anytime soon. 

I went to the gym yesteday and did my usual 30 minutes of treadmill and weight training and TODAY I tried something new!   My gym has a bunch of free classes and I've finally did one today.  It's called Club Strength and it combines cadio with muscle stengthening.  It was very good and I know I will feel it tomorrow.  I hope to keep it up.  Food wise this week, I am keeping to my daily allowance and eating more fruits and veggies.

You all sound like you are doing great and I hope to become as dedicated as you all and stay on track.  Have a great day! Nicole

=^..^= MOLLY

Those cardio and strength classes are very much a great idea! We had one when I worked for the YMCA called power pump.... kicked my butt!!

I should go to the gym tonight, too... need some cheering on! My fiancee is out of town so I will be bored anyway ;)

Glad you're here, Lurker Three!!!

* remembers dreaming and wishing for green eyes...and red hair! *

You are VERY WELCOME! Especially, as you can see from Molly!  We're short-handed today, lol!!!

(WHERE is our wonderful, fearless Leader?!? Gonna' have to rent that BUGLER after all...!!!! Though...I remember banjo music might have worked once...I haven't learned to play mine yet...!!! If I just played it a while, anyway... THAT might be good and hard to listen to... Wonder what Molly would do...????  * snicker! * )

It's truely amazing when you see the nearly 800 posts in this really young thread, to see sooo little activity, lol!!!

Some of us...ahem...maybe...? Talk a bit...MUCH??? Wonder WHO that would be...?

* hurriedly pulls on diguise...! * 

Erinlf- Go to the gym!!!  Rah! Rah! Rah!!! I'm SOOOO Glad I Did!!!! You'll feel good about it tomorrow if you go ahead and go! Rooting for you!!! Go Gang!!!! 

 

There's some weird boxes in that post... crazy! I didn't put them there!

Edited... Now they're GONE... * shiver! * 

did you find Forks' scale in any of those boxes??? LOL...tee hee

Ya' think that's what happened to her????

First the scale... Now, Forks!!!

Better grab that Banjo, after all... Maybe it'll be so bad it'll scare those creepy boxes!!!!

* beats on Banjo...VERY badly... LET her GO  you nefarious boxes!!! AND her scale! *

( Borrowed nefarious from Molly... wonder if she's awake yet? )

Maybe she'll come back now...!!!! Nothing could possibly endure much of my Banjo playing!!! 

Thanks 2beittybitty!! I actually changed my mind about the gym... going to work out at home. I have some lovely stairs and run around the block and do sit ups, etc.... the gym is SO busy with the New Year's resolution folks!

Lol! That's what I'm doing today... though my gym IS home!!! I went yesterday, so not today...for weight lifting. May go for the Nordic track in there... My rebounder is downstairs, and I'm planning to use it...

BTW... I followed... well, TRIED to follow...ahem, just a little...!  SOMEBODIES  example today... on my stairs... !

* whimper! * 

I SURVIVED a GRAND TOTAL... Ready? Sure??? Of...

Good day! I did about 20 minutes of weights and conditioning exercises.

HI!!

I wrote in my journal this morning about what I was planning on doing and I have done it!!  I walked on my treadmill at 2.5 mph for 1 1/2 hrs. Also I did 30 minutes of strength training with the resistence tubes.  Actually when the DH gets home from the church council meeting we will probably do the tubes again for another 30 min.  I ended up taking a nap this afternoon from mere exaustion!!  I think part of that is I got up at 5:00 a.m. with my DH and then I exercised when I would normally go back to sleep for an hour or so. I do believe I will sleep really good tonight.

My only hope is that I don't gain muscle and my my weight go up instead of down, that would be a bummer

edit:  Oh don't want to forget that I ate salmon tonight and it was ok. I found Mrs. Dash Spicy Teriaki 10 min Marinade.  I used it and a recipe from their site, which had sesame seeds on top of the salmon and then baked.  I didn't mind the flavor, much better than the first time when I tried another recipe.
