Shaping up for 2.0

[katscradle]

Think you'll all like this story -

I have a treadmill, a very old treadmill - it is motorized but has no incline adjustment, no cup holder, no iPod dock, no programming - you get the picture - no NOTHING! I've been wanting a new one for awhile now.

Well after dinner last night, I went upstairs to walk and after about ten minutes thought I'd give jogging a try - WELL>>>>>>

the poor thing started shaking and groaning and making a lot noise. DH was downstairs in the living room watching television. The noise was so bad that he came running upstairs to see what had happened.

Needless to say - i stopped trying to jog - walked 3.25 miles though

OK HERE'S THE BEST PART - DH told me to do some research and buy myself a new treadmill .....

Congrats on getting a new treadmill!

Hi Everyone!!! I haven't posted in a little while, but I'm back "on the wagon" so to speak. I've had 2 of my employees out for illness, and it's been hard to pick up their slack. So I haven't been eating the best at all. I didn't even weigh myself because I didn't want to see the disappointing number that I was sure would show back up. Well, this week I started to get a little better, watching my portions, etc, and even dared to get back on the scale yesterday. Would you believe I actually LOST 2 pounds?!?! I couldn't believe it. I was expecting to see a gain, and was pleasantly surprised instead.
So, I've really missed talking to you all, and plan to be back more to help keep myself on track. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

I have a scale made by Conair - it is digital - it's called "Thinner" . I definately think your scale has bit the dust. Mine was inexpensive if I remember correctly.



OMG - I'm exhausted just reading what you accomplished. What a super workout day

Congrats on the loss!

I was exhausted reading what she accomplished as well!

Well I am off to the gym now.
Have a great day!

My Tuesday morning walk was in perfect weather - mid 60's with no humidity and a gentle breeze watching a beautiful sunrise.

I walked 3 miles this morning.

As long as you are not wearing a skirt or a dress, there shouldn't be a huge reason to hide from Don. Wait what am I saying? There is always reason to hide from Don.

Can I eat those?

One a day. For lunch. New goal.

I walked twice today, since we had such nice weather 72 degrees and no humidity, though it clouded up and looked like rain all afternoon giving way to sprinkling now. It was in the mid 60's this morning when I did my main walk at sunrise.

I walked 3.2 miles this morning, then I walked to lunch today and the round trip was 1.2 miles. Totaling 4.4 miles for the day.

Still down single digits from the cruise. Been noticing less fluctuation since we've started swimming. I am saying bye-bye to my belly. It feels good.

That's awesome! I need to get back on track.

I got up early this morning (though I slept in 1 hour later than I normally get up for work) and went walking. I walked 3.3 miles this morning listening to the Podcast.

I am hoping rain holds off tomorrow morning, so that I can get my walk in before it starts - not sure on it's timeline, just know that it is in the forecast.

Happy 4th of July Weekend everyone! Don't over indulge yourselves at the picnics & cookouts this weekend.

That's awesome! Congrats!

I've been having a great week for eating and exercise, and the scale is still up 'bout half a pound. Kiiiinda discouraging. I wouldn't mind so much if I could figure out what the deal was, but I haven't been up on salt or anything. *kicks scale* To be honest, I suspect it's muscle building, because I can see a little more definition in my legs and arms. Still, I would like muscle and lower numbers. Blah. I think I'm mostly grumpy because someone at work made an offhand comment to me that someone else turned into a fat joke about me (someone that I don't know, actually, so it's not like it was friendly joking). Not cool.

Ah well. Better things next week, right? EA is sending me a new leg band for my Active 'game' based on the picture of the break I sent them, and the receipt, so I can keep going with the broken one til it gets here.

Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend! I'll be at work, so someone light a sparkler on my behalf, okay?

It is a good feeling when you can tell the difference as a result of your workouts. Even better when people start noticing, too.
