Hi Everyone!
Haven’t had much to say lately, mainly because routines have stayed the same. I am now alternating days, one hour on the indoor bike and next day an hour on the treadmill. This often happens in summer, where the heat and humidity discourage outdoor biking.
As fall gets here I will go back to harder [...]

Sara: steps = good; weight = less good
Well, it’s been an odd week — I had lots of organ practice to do since I had to play mass yesterday, plus getting the fall music planning started. Then somehow I ended up going out to eat twice — not eating too much but probably drinking a bit more than I should. Fun though…
But [...]

Sandy – up to Aug 9th
Well, hello again everyone. I’m determined to be motivated rather than discouraged when I read about all your progress but i’m not able to join in yet.
On the good side, I dd manage a few short walks to the chemist, post office and surgery (less than 1kilometer return!) which is an improvement on having to [...]

Kay — Update
Last week was pretty disastrous exercise-wise after hectic Hall of Fame Week! The funny part is I weighed myself for the first time in a month and I lost five pounds. I wonder how I managed that with the pigging out I did during the festival. It’s been a busy, stressful week and that means my left [...]

2,716 steps, August 2
4,638 steps August 3, required special push as tried to get to 5,000, my own special goal.
4,891 steps August 4. Meeting [...]

Lia- Weekly Exercise
Tomorrow I am off on a day outing and the next day my dear daughter is coming home after being two weeks away. So, I’ve decided to post early. Cross off one of the last thing on my to-do list and now just going to enjoy the long weekend.
The above collage is for you guys; [...]

Sara – sneaky calorie burning tips
I will credit Prevention magazine with many of these, although some are variations on things I have thought of too — and probably things you have thought of as well. Major stumbling blocks for me are lack of motivation and boredom/succumbing to routine. In fact I seem to have a positive aversion to routine…and since [...]

Lia – Weekly Exercise
Another good week. Overall, I am finding this group “just right”; not too pushy, not to soft. I like the fact that we come from all over so there is the extreme heat of Texas and NYC and the rains of Normandy, yet we are managing to meet here to share.
Friday: Yoga 15 min, walking [...]

Sara – keeping on keeping on…
Hi, everyone! Well, my “free” pedometer is inaccurate, I believe — so I have finally ordered the one that I recommended to everyone. Finances are tight here after my trip, so I had put off ordering — but then a friend sent me a gift certificate!
The pedometer info is: Omron HJ-112 Digital Premium [...]
