We are doing great on our first week of our new motivation
So much that I think we are going to have a well deserved " Special Day" on Saturday !!
See I am giving everyone a 2 day notice on the special day !!!
Hubby went into the office today so it is just me and the dogs scout goes home later this afternoon lol my sister says she is so worn out after visiting that she usually sleeps the day after she comes home.
Right now they are all waiting for breakfast but they have to wait till I am done this because Scout needs a little supervision while she eats. Being the only dog at her house she likes to "graze eat" she also like to take a mouthful and put it on the carpet next to her bowl. Well you can't do that here with Miss Lola because she will try and sneak in and get to her bowl or any pieces that may "escape" . So then Scout will take her mouthful even farther from the bowl
lol feeding time is interesting to say the least.
I am going to do the "walk away the pounds" DVD today I won't need the stretchies because my shoulder is still sore so I will just do the legs part
Today's optional group activity
How about 2 sets of 10 jumping jacks (lol when was the last time you did a jumping jack ? )
Followed up by 25 ab crunches
So what will your exercise be for today ?

Reason: lol had to edit the jumping jack we can build up to 25
Good morning.
So this is a new week of motivation for exercise?....sounds like a plan to me
Inserting a picture my daughter took last week when I was visting her. 10 more pounds to go and I will be happy. It's such a slow process.
I am feeling old today. Three more weeks and I will get 10 percent off at Ross, how sad is that. lol
My daughter's birthday is the same day as mine, so she is flying to Oklahoma to celebrate with me. She is also running the Tulsa marathon.....I am just watching of course!
Karla -I like that challenge.....going to try the crunches and jumping jacks after Zumba class tonight, since I already showered. Can't remember when I last did a jumping jack by the way. I love Zumba but the class has at least 50 people in it and the room is small. I need room to move. I feel very uncoordinated in this class, but I am learning.
Should be lovely weather today. 72 degrees. I should go run outside but since we are paying that gym fee better go there after work.
Rae that is a great picture !!
I think you look great
I think we will all agree that they are going to ask for ID when you try to use the 10% Sr discount at Ross !!
I did the 2 mile walk away the pounds DVD whew I had forgotten what a workout it is lol I am going to be feeling it tomorrow
I also did the jumping jax had to go in and edit it from 25 to 10 because dang 25 were a little high we can work into this
You know I really hate exercising but thanks you you all I can do this again !!!!
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

Me, too, Karla. This group thing is a big help.
I didn't want to do it today, but I did. I got up, asked DH if he was going with me and he decided to stay home and plant the milkweed bushes he bought yesterday and spread some more mulch around. But I still went! Walked the mile to the gym, worked out for 15 minutes (legs today), then walked back via the scenic route. No duck came to see me today, tho. It's such a nice walk around the lake and you get to see so many back yard gardens. Really uplifting. I do keep an eye out for the gators, tho.
Rae, you look terrific. I should print your photo for my inspiration. I gotta tell ya, I just love getting those senior discounts. I'm wondering if I can add any more since I turned 55.
Gotta go shower. After my walk/workout, I watered. There's a nice breeze out there, but I still glowed.
Shadow, Mickey & I have been for our cookie walk this morning.
It never ceases to amaze me that I can skip riding for 2 weeks and feel like I haven't ridden in years when I come back. Every muscle below my belly button is screaming at me today.
The packing has begun. Up & down the stairs, in & out of the house, in & out of the trailer, all the while toting boxes. Ugh! I think I will pass on the jumping jacks today........
Good morning.

I did the bootcamp cardio workout again. 33 minutes plus, since I heard Billy come on line so I stopped to talk to him, the connection was terrible over there today, then I started up again. Now I am way behind...as usual. Wish I could just get up and work out instead of procrastinating all day. But, that's how I roll...
Chickrae, you look great, and certainly not like someone eligible-or soon to be eligible-for any kind of senior discount.
I found out recently that you're supposed to eat a little something before you work out to kind of kick start the fat burning process. In all of my years, I never heard that before.

Rae, I can't think of any specific recipes. I was very successful earlier this year in losing 14 lbs. by "putting the fork down". I cut back on my portions just a bit, did not go back for 2nds. I also cut way back on "white stuff" - potatoes, pasta, rice, sugar. The problem is, since I went on vacation, I've gained about 6 of those lbs. back and I'm going to see my doctor next week - I know I'll catch h**l from her. I was hoping to get back on track before my appt. but that didn't work. Here's another tip: Use ground turkey breast meat instead of hamburger.
I hope that helps.
