BUZZ's Brigade - TEAM CHALLENGE - POST MILES/HOURS HERE

[NYcpa]

After taking 3 days off, I exercised for the las 2 days. Have told myself, I couldn't work on quilting until exercise was done. Wish it would warm up so I could get out doors.

Hi, everyone! You are all keeping me motivated! I hadn't been able to exercise since Thursday night, but have been at the gym each of the past three nights!

 

[getnthinr]

Ever had those times when you know you should be doing something that you aren't -- and you just can't seem to make yourself do it? The past two weeks I've felt that about healthy eating and exercise. Part of it is the long hours at work, but I'm also in a blue funk because I've regained some of the weight I'd lost and I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow where she is sure to point that out to me and threaten the "D" word again (diabetes). What is wrong with me!?!?!?

I'm headed out to see the marathon movie tonight where I hope to get a little morale boost. In marathoning, at some point you have to move forward when you don't really feel up to it. This situation I find myself in is no different. It's just a few pounds, it's not "the ultimate defeat" -- Come on, Wendy! You're a marathoner, girl!

We've all been through it! It is hard to stay motivated at times. Thank goodness we have things like the Buzzies to help keep us on track and accountable. You are a marathoner Wendy!

 

[keenercam]

Wendy -- I am sorry you are not feeling motivated right now. I have definitely been there, and for a while, too. I hope the movie will renew your spirit and your motivation. It was really wonderful and uplifting for me. So much so that when I got home, DS14 (Andrew) saw something in my face. "Uh oh, Mom is feeling inspired. You're going to do another marathon, aren't you? After promising yourself you wouldn't, I can just tell you are already thinking about it again!" LOL! Yes, the movie is that wonderful. Be sure to stay for the interviews and extra footage after the credits. Oh, and pay attention to the soundtrack. I purchased it for my ipod and it is wonderful!

Hello, Buzzies!! I'be been counting my minutes and miles (few as they are compared to the rest of the team!!) but will not be able to post until Sunday night. Going out of town this afternoon, have workouts planned, so will put up totals then.

Everyone stay HAPPY and HEALTHY!! Anne

Hey Buzzies,

Here are my stats

Miles - 8.94
Hours - 6.00

Hi everyone - hope all is well!

Just to let you all know, I WILL add on the miles soon. I promise! Here's the deal. It is YUCKY here. Can't seem to bring myself to get out and walk with negative wind chills. Hopefully, we'll get a break soon. I usually LOVE winter, but this is seriously getting a little old.

I am one of the lucky ones that is plagued by a never ending "bad" knee. I figured that since I am not officially training right now, I am going to work on my strength. I have an AWESOME workout on my treadmill with I-fit cards. Right now I am doing a lot of hill work and strength training. I have found that it is much harder to walk hills than run flat, but it doesn't give you many miles.

I am also playing volleyball. I wish that we could count the miles somehow. This week we only had 4 of us against a really good team with 6. We won two out of three and had to work our butts off to cover the floor. I know I had at least 100 miles on my legs by the end of the night.

I also find myself in the stage of life that I am spending more time as a spectator than participant. The kids' basketball seasons have ended and that will free up some time. I am coaching my DD's tournament volleyball team and that's taking up my Saturdays and some evenings.

I missed a workout taking my MIL out of town to a doctor's apt.

Let see, what other excuses - oh ya. LOST, Survivor and American Idol have started again. I'm putting in some time in front of the tube.

So please bear with me. I will put on the miles when 1. I am training for a race. 2. I can get outside and walk my beagle and 3. I also plan on dusting off the bikes this spring and heading out with the kiddos.

Have a great weekend all.

Jill

Hey team. Checking in with last weeks totals. Sorry I've been oh so busy, but wanted to put the teams numbers out there. I also was waiting for our new team member, but I never heard from them. Anywho, for week two we did 255.69 Miles slightly behind week one's total and we did 69.87 Hours which was slightly ahead week one's 68.88 total.

As for me I'll be back to report my totals this weekend. My treadmill is still torn up and my parents is torn up as well (It's only been over a month now) so all of my runs have been outdoors. Probably one of my favorite runs happened on Monday. I started running and it was sunny, really cold, but sunny. By midway it had clouded up and a light snow had happened. With a couple miles to go it looked like a blizzard and I was running and loving every minute of it. I was smiling and laughing (Luckily no one could see me) and I called my daughter. I said, "Look outside at the snow I feel like I'm running in a snow globe." I came in the house and was covered in snow. My family got a real kick out of that.

I hope to get a run in tonight, but we are going to get some really yucky weather so I may be out running in it again. We'll see.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Wendy - Are you going to North Hills to see the movie? If so, I'll see you there!

I guess I can go ahead and post my totals for the week - nothing is likely to change before the end of the day!

Miles: 9.97
Hours: 2:47

Remember that I've been trying to stay off my ankle this week, so all of those miles were put in before the injury on Saturday. I'm hoping for improvement during the next week, but I'm not going to push it either. We've been rolling out a new inventory program at work, so the hours there have been intense. When the clock goes off in the morning to tell me to get up and work out I've just groaned and gone back to sleep.

Hi Team.

I know I keep saying I'm going to catch up and I hope to one day. I did want to pop in with my totals for the week.

miles... 24.62
time.... 6 hours 30 minutes

Much better than last week, so I am pleased with that. Slightly fewer miles than week 1 but a few more minutes. I was wantingto get more cross training in, so that is a good thing.

Have a great week end everyone. My girls and I may be taking off for WDW tomorrow after school. Not sure yet. Don't even know if we can get a room. I guess I really shoul call and find out about that, huh?

Good Morning Buzzies!

Here are my totals for the week:

Miles: 14.67

Minutes: 5 hours 5 minutes

I tried to get in a little more stretching this week. My knee and hip are starting to bother me a little bit again. I need to do the strength stretches that the Ortho. doc gave me. Hope everyone has a good week!

Good luck on that room Eva!

[Duanerice]

Hi All,
Hope everyone is doing OK. Looks like a lot of snow in the North East.

Last week:
Miles: 20.5
minutes: 235 minutes

I had a minor procedure on Monday but it was one of those that required no eating on Sunday. So I didn't do anything Sunday or Monday. I never take 2 days off.

This will probably be a short week as I taper a bit for my half marathon next Sunday.

Have a great week,
Duane

Hi, everyone! Sorry I am late getting here to report last week's totals. I was having problems with my right ankle (I think I need new shoes), so I did more miles on the bike than the TM. Makes my totals look better, but the time isn't as productive as I'd have liked.

3 hours 25 minutes (205 minutes)
23.32 miles

 

[kareneast]

Hi Buzzies,

Hope everyone is doing well. LTO, so I apoligize for not having the time to catch up with everyone.

Have a GREAT weekend!

[CynthiaCindy]

Totals for last week (sorry for the late post)

23.79 miles

I'm sorry I haven't been posting more. LTO in a big way. I've never been so busy at work in the 4.5 years that I've had this job. And now I only see it getting worse over the next couple of months. At least I have the Minnie to look forward to!

 

[Maherae]

Gosh, team, you all are doing such great mileage and COMPLAINING about it being so little!! Keep up the good work!

Here's my tiny contribution for last week.

Feb 15 - 21
