Buffyget them on that telepad! Tell them they have their first customer - heck I'll even do beta testing for them! Think of all the time for scrapbooking I'd have! Oh and exercise.
That's great your dd is joining you with the exercise. my son has also put on some weight this year, and gotten a little belly, so we're both trying to be more active. He's been doing the wii free step for 30 min when he watches a show, and he loves the new fit plus games. He is pretty active, and if I could follow his lead all the time, I'd be pretty fit too.
How'd you like toy story mania? I've only played it a couple times, but it is so much fun. Brings me back to my favorite place.
Biking is so much fun. 100K was the furthest I ever rode, and I would love to be able to do that now. 100 miles is far, but what a feeling of accomplishment you'll have after. My son is getting better on his bike, so this year, I'm hoping to get him a bike with gears so we can ride further and he'll have more stamina. Nice job on the treadmill.My DH and I have talked about doing a 100 mi bike mile ride - that would be his choice! - but mine would be for both of us to go to Canyon Ridge! Because then someone else is figuring out what I should be eating and I'd know that I wasn't over-estimating the calories I burned. And we have alot of fun together!!
This has been a good weekend. Had a short run yesterday and a longer one today. But I'm not as hardy as Jen - I'm still glued to the treadmill at the Y! LOL. I planned to go about 40 minutes today but then I ran into a friend of mine who was on the treadmill a few away from me...and she was like the energizer bunny - she just kept going, and going and going. Did I mention that she is 3 months pregnant??! So I decided that if she could keep going, so could I... she finally stopped when I was at 57 minutes so I kept going for another 3 minutes. OMG. That's the longest I've ever run IN MY LIFE. I was a puddle at the end. Then home to church, DS's track meet, DD's basketball game ...now I'm plannng to relax and watch the football games.
BTW, made a cooking light dinner last night that the whole family loved - chicken and apples. Yum!!!!
Have a great day everyone. Go, JETS!!!!
Glad you're ok Molly. It has been so icy here too. My son went down yesterday in a parking lot, he's fine, but all I could think, was thank god it was him and not me. I would not have been ok if i went down that hard.Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the late Sunday post, I unfortunetly had an accident with some ice this morning! It is mighty slippery in MN right now! Luckily, I slipped and fell into some snow, I think my ego is more bruised then my body!
Sounds like everyone is having a good Sunday. I tried to take a walk, but I am a little sore from the fall, so I think I will just chill at home tonight and watch my Vikings!
Sunday QOTD: If you could posses one 'power', what would it be and why?
:
This would be a great power. I am not blessed with a great memory, and I wish I had written things down that my parents had told me over the years.Sunday QOTD: If you could posses one 'power', what would it be and why?
I would like to be able to go back in time and ask my dead relatives questions. I have so many questions about why they did the things they did. Who was married to who, where did they really come from. I wouldn't ask them all of course, only the brick walls I have in my research. If I had all the answers, then what would be the fun of all this research?....
I am not sure if this is a "power" but here goes: I would wish for the opportunity to go back in time and meet my grandparents as a young - or middle aged - couple so that I could spend "adult" time with them and give them the oportunity to meet my kids. I lost my grandmother a month before my HS graduation. She was a wonderful, wonderful lady and I learned so much from her. She had a generosity of spirit and friendship that I can only hope to live up to - someday. I became closer to my grandfather after her loss - and we had a great time together. He even came to visit me - twice - in Europe when I was in a Junior Year Abroad program. And he was the first to welcome my husband into our family when we became serious. He showed me that it was possible to be a successful person and still balance home and work - he took my grandmother to lunch every day of the work week so that they would have a lunch date. They were incredible people. I so wish that my kids would have had the opportunity to know them.
Good Morning All,
I hope all are doing well this morning. Me, not so much. Between my fall on the ice yesterday and my Vikings heartbreaking loss yesterday, not such a great Monday. On the bright side got lots of exercise in this weekend.
Monday QOTD: Who inspires/motivates you on your health/fitness/weight loss journey?
Molly
That gets me off my rear and pushes me to get going. I know that she is going to streak by me in the Princess 2011 (which, I'll blame on those incredibly long legs of hers!! yeah, right. I'll keep telling myself that. 
)
I hate it when it kicks in!! 
He told me that he thinks that our families need to go down and investigate some of the resorts for a class project!!! LMAO!!! I told him that I totally agree!!! Then, one of the other students said that she would go so that she could record for us all of our findings!!! We said absolutely!!! LOL!!!!
If anyone knows why, please let me know!! Thanks!!

Hi Molly! Hope you are feeling better. I'm with you on the Vikings loss - I was rooting for both the Vikings and the Jets. Guess I'm the "kiss of death" for the play off teams. LOL. With no NY or MN teams in the running, I'm not sure who I'll be rooting for in the Superbowl...
My inspiration: Since this whole thing started, Jen (JenAnderson) has been an incredible inspiration to me. Just when I decide that I'm too tired to go out and exercise, she posts that she and Paul were running OUTSIDE in cold Minnesota!!!
At home, there is a woman (Mary) in my boot camp class who is my inspiration. She just doesn't know it. She is about the same height as me and has the same body issues - big hips and rear. Yet she almost never seems to stop - and uses much heavier weights than I do. Just when I want to quit I peek a look at her and if she is still going, I try to manage at least 2 or three more of whatever we are doing.
BTW, I'm still recovering from this morning's boot camp class. Here's today's torture: 10 "clean and sweeps" (I use 10 lb weights - I saw that Mary had 12 pound ones!), 10 push ups (no knees!!), 10 jump up/down onto a step with 5 risers on each side. Then repeat that TEN times. My chest was heaving at the end. There was more after we finished the "first" part of the program but I think I have erased it from my mind!! LOL. But I thought I'd pass some of the program on in case anyone is interested in trying it on their own....
Have a great day everyone!!
Monday QOTD: Who inspires/motivates you on your health/fitness/weight loss journey?
My mom, but not in the way you think. I love my mom more that words can express but I don't want to be like her. She has vascular problems, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, all of which would be better if she lost weight. I do not want diabetes when I'm 40 or 50 years old, she was diagnosed at 50.
And the biggest loser contestants, especially Ali the pink BL winner.
Oh and the turnstiles at Disneyworld!
Hi everyone!!! I know that I really haven't been on here for a minute, but I've been battling my depression, working, and doing tons of homework.
My depression is finally starting to go away for right now!!
I had to do an informative speech last week for my speech class. So..I of course, did it on something Disney. I talked about the various resorts that Disney offers/has. We only had 3-4 mins to do it, too!!! I mean seriously!!! Who can talk about Disney in 3-4 mins?!?! IO know I can't!!!
But, anyways, I did a PP presentation(PowerPoint) and had different pics on there of various resorts!! Turns out that I did fantastic on it!! Well...I think that I might have done really good because my professor is a HUGE fan of WDW!!!
Well..I'm going to try and do better with keeping up on here. I hoping that I can buy a computer soon. Waiting for my school check to do that as well as pay some bills!!!
Oh..and I lost 1lb this week. Not a lot...but every lil bit helps!!!
