Hello again hello....

Hey all!
Ok, I'll post about our/my physical activity yesterday. The kids and I drove up to Alta to visit Lauralee and did a 40min walk around the resort/neighborhood. It wasn't too hard, all pretty level, but we found some snow banks to play in, and boulders to climb on. Not the greatest/hardest workout by far, but it was better than nothing!
Let's not forget the laps I was able to swim in Becky's pool last Wed. Really makes me wish I had a pool, I really enjoy that exercise!

That's all for now!

Teri's Great Idea!

So, what do you gals think about posting about our workouts? It'll keep us motivated and give us ideas as to what everyone else is doing to get in good shape! (I'm totally motivated by Teri. She is doing so super awesome.) Anyhow, yesterday I posted a bit. Today I'll add on. I decided to take total advantage of having a husband home with the kids, so I'm doing lots. On top of riding the bike yesterday, I also did 40 minutes of crunches, planks, leg lifts and push ups. You guessed it, I could barely walk by nighttime. This morning when I woke up at 7:30 it was already 80 degrees outside. Blech! No running. (My thighs said thank you.) So, I made all the kids do two sessions of yoga (Namaste) with me. It took just under an hour. All the muscles I didn't hit biking and running, were definitely used today. I really need Sunday as a recuperation day. I'm trying to keep doing different things all the time so I don't get bored. I'm even contemplating pulling out my roller blades from waaayyy back. Keep me posted on your doings so I can add to my list of great ways to get in shape...

I'LL RACE!

I've done been inspired! (New Lazy Boy commercial by Brooke Shields. Funny huh?) Yesterday I went running/walking for 40 minutes and did awesome (if I do say so myself). Today, I biked 8.5 miles. I feel great! I'm also doing tons of toning stuff too. My thighs hurt big time... I'm going to do fabulously well the next six months. You just wait and see.....

Back in the saddle again

Hi, Now the holidays are over and Shannon is home, it is time to start losing again. Teri has lost all her weight, so Go Teri!!!!! I gained 3 and lost 3 again. Now it is time to get serious. I want to lose another 10 lbs by the end of summer. Who wants to race me?

I am so excited

I just bought a pair of Gloria Vanderbilt Capri's at Costco in a size 14. I didn't know if they would zip up or not, but they did............... Happy day. They are a little tight in the waist, but oh well. Hopefully in a few weeks they won't be. A misses 14, not a women' s 14. Yay for me. I am so happy, I had to tell everyone.

I did it

I broke the plateau. I lost 2 more lbs. That makes 30 lbs. Yay me. I can't put my phone in my pocket anymore. My pants fall down. I look like I am wearing clown pants. Oh well. My goal is another 15 lbs, then I will think about getting new clothes. Thanks for all your support.

Let's pull out the big guns!

My plan was to lose 20 lbs by summer. Thbbbtttt! That's what my body said to me. Ha ha ha ha ha. Lost 8, gained 4 lost 2. Stayed..... So, this week I started Slim Fast. I'm so hungry... But, I'm already down 1 lb in 2 days. Goal: 8 more lbs by the time I see y'all in 3 weeks-ish. Wish me luck...
