Sorry for being MIA guys! We had a lot of fun yesterday taking the in-laws for a trip around Washington. Didn't get back until late and internet has been sketchy this morning.
I hope everyone had a great weekend!!!! I'm ready for week three but didn't do as well on week two as I'd hoped. I'll get on later and get my points posted but here are my goals for week three
1) Bike 50 miles
2) Two upper body strength workouts
3) Push-ups & crunches 5/7 days
Who's next?

Hey gals! Just got back from an 11 mile ride with hills so one cardio and one strength today. I've GOT to remember to do my push-ups and crunches, YIKES!!! I also power walked with the dogs on Monday so that's another cardio. Planning to mow tomorrow (2+hours with push mower) and ride with the local club tomorrow night. This weekend we're in Seattle so I'm hoping the hotel has an exercise room and I can get some "new" stuff in and do my upper body there.
Anyone else just plain tired this week? I'm not sure why but I'm dragging. The only thing getting me to ride my bike is the thought of the blackberries I can stop and pick at the half-way point. :roll: :lol:
So what's everyone else doing?

Great to hear from you LJM! Don't worry about being late, we're just glad you're still with us. Kids keep getting in the way of my life too but what can you do? :roll: :lol:
Roxy, don't be embarrassed by your numbers. I am so impressed that you're trying to exercise and cook good meals with a baby around. I didn't do much other than eat and sleep when mine were little. :shock: I think you're awesome and some exercise is better than none!
Very awesome points Cheeky!!! I just couldn't keep up last week. This week is better but still has challenges thrown in.
Anyone have fun plans for the weekend? We're headed to Seattle for soccer but dd might not play. Her knee's been bothering her and we spent half of today in the orthopedics's office. So much for mowing the lawn. :( They "think" she may have a tear in the meniscus but want a specialist to read the MRI. Hopefully we'll hear something tomorrow. It's kinda up to her if she wants to play at this point and we're going regardless so I'm just hoping we hear something before the game tomorrow night.
Have a fun weekend! I should be able to check in from the hotel room!

Thanks Luvs, although I have to admit that this week is turning out to be much less of an exercise in "awesomeness" for me! I've been tired and cranky...which is confusing, because TOM was last week, and I normally only feel like this before TOM. Administrative hassles at work definitely don't help though, and it REALLY doesn't make me happy that my paycheque was re-routed to another department (long story...) and now seems not to be found. Sigh.
Only got in one day of cardio this week...so I'll need to hit the gym today, tomorrow and Sunday to make up for it! I'm committing to it!
Everyone else, just keep going! We all know things aren't always predictable or consistent, some weeks will be better than others...just keep going! |
