Back on Track...

here we go again! Calling all Workout Blogger-Bloggertons! It's a good thing we have been more committed to working out than blogging.

I sent invitations to Char, Kim, Julie, Kelly and Lisa. They can post and comment. So join in Ladies, offer up any motivation, ideas, support , goals, etc.

Our year anniversary has come and gone. I think that we gave ourselves the best gift, a commitment to stick to our workout. I know that I couldn't have done this without you all! Your support, dedication and friendship mean the world to me. Thank you for being you!

Here's to us... healthier, stronger, thinner and more fun than ever!

Love ya!

You Rock!

Ladies, You're amazing! Just wanted to let you know that I think that my drive/motivation is back. You all helped with that, so Thank you! After the last three workouts, I feel like I'm back on track. Plus it helps to know that there is no way in hell that I would have been able to finish the same workouts 6 months ago when we all started this journey. I couldn't have done this without you! I'm glad we have one another to push each other, struggle through a hellaious workout together, sweat profusely with and or course, laugh with!

I like Dawn's idea of setting a goal for the month. I'll join Dawn in the weight loss goal, Sharon in her a little extra something each day... today I walked the loop when I got home from work and Bethany's, increasing our dairy consumption - had my 3 servings today. I'll bring my medicine ball on T&TH and hopefully we can squeeze in a few reps after our workout.

You Go Girls!

SPRING IS HERE!!!!!!!

I know we have all hit a little low point over the last month with our motivation. I was thinking that maybe we could come up with a group goal to try to achieve for the month of April. Let me know what you think.

Motivation???

Happy Easter!

Calling all my workout companions! I'm calling on you for some motivation. I am in a workout rut. I tried to take it easy [still worked out, but not with the same intensity or drive that I normally have] this week because of feeling run-down and fighting this nasty, persistent cold. I pushed through the fact that I really would have rather passed on working out some of the days but I did it. I need to get back on the "horse" so to speak. I feel like I lost my drive.

I know that I am going to have my peaks and valleys but my goal is still a ways away and I need a swift kick in the pants. With that said, I know "a few good women" that can motivate me and at the very least sweat it out with me! See you Tuesday am!

She made a promise and...

she delivered. Holy Crap is about all I have to say about this am's workout. Bethany had told me she was going to work the cold out of me and she sure got a great start! and then some. Thanks to Dawn and Sharon for sticking by my side, I couldn't have done it without you! I am little nervous about Thursday am.
Take Care!
