Happy Birthday to Me...

You know that you're serious about getting into shape when you do the following even on your birthday...
  • Walk/ Hike down the East side of Hemlock Lake ~ 2hours, not sure how many steps because my pedometer had came unclipped and only read 260 steps.
  • Did a Total Gym work -out
  • When your sister calls all the way from Baghdad,Iraq to wish you a Happy Birthday and the majority of your conversation is about the Cross Fit web site and the workout programs that she put together.
  • Asked Rick and the Kids not to make a birthday cake because I didn't want the temptation around.
  • Asked for and received a 12# medicine ball for a birthday gift.

Like I said, it's a step or two in the right direction!

Bye for now! Jess

First of all, I am very impressed with all your hard work setting this up. The only problem that I see is that you need to understand that your pedometer does not count when Rick is carrying you ( Ha, Ha). I will do my very best to do the nightly workout.Dawn

Great blog!
Just a "piece" of advice - you can't burn calories by just squatting and doing open leg positions on the floor in your livingroom infront of the wouldbe fireplace hoping to burn the calories. Ya gotta just do it.
Hope all you girls are ready on Thurs. I hope to kick ass since I missed Tues. Keep up the good work girls!!!
Dawn - f u n n y entry - welcome to the computer age.
Trina - walking the dog won't burn enough calories either. You must be realy to go now that you and John have had time to bless every room now that the kids are gone
Well Jess~
Gotta go "Double Dutch" c-ya SM
