Awww... thanks for thinking of me guys! I miss being on the board more. I'm typing one handed though and it kind of sucks. Makes it hard to contribute much. :)

Well this week has gone pretty well. Despite being *very* busy, I've pretty much stuck to my plan, and gotten all my workouts in. I even managed to squeeze a workout in today, though I had to cut it just a little short. We ran 3 days this week as planned, including a great 27-minute 5K on Tuesday! Scale this morning showed 132, so I'm happy with that.


Sunday is the 5K, and my goal is to finish in under 28 minutes. So I'm taking tomorrow as a rest day to prepare for that. As for next week, my main goal is to just stay on track as much as possible. We are having the carpet re-installed in the basement on Monday morning, and I'm really hoping they are quick about it so I have time to get to the gym and back before the kids get out of school. Tuesday I can get to the gym after teaching in the morning, and I also plan to go Wednesday (which is usually the day I take off), because I will be out of town Thurs-Sun. We'll probably run Tues & Weds

Joy, you're right--life happens! I'll be on a trip next weekend, too (Thurs-Sun), and the hotel does have a fitness center and pool, so it would be great if I can find the time to use them! I *may* be able to do that on Saturday and Sunday morning if I can get myself up early enough, but with getting in late at night, and trying to juggle 3 women getting ready in one hotel room, time will not be on my side! We'll just do the best we can, right? I bet you'll get some exercise walking around on your trip anyway!

Keep plugging away...that stubborn weight will eventually give up it's death-grip and fall away!!


Great job on the running! I can't wait to hear how it goes!

I have considered trying spinning at my gym. I need to check the schedule to see if it's offered at a good time. I've wanted to do the power yoga class, too, but it's at noon on Wednesday, which is my day off from the gym (usually). I may try it this week, though, since I plan on going Wednesday b/c I'll be out of town the rest of the week.
