Hello everyone.

If you're reading this it means you found the site and got your password. Yesterday's workout was an hour jog to CC Press Play. Today was a 10 mile bike ride. Eating is terrible. Trying to get in some last minute control before the road trip so the clothes I packed still fit. LOL

How's everyone else doing. Are we still Happy?

Amelia, what did you name the puppy? and how is everyone adjusting. Has your other dog met him yet and if so what did she think?

Jean
 
Hi Jean! I am loving checking out the new forums! I didn't WO today as I have been battling the flu. :mad: Your RT is coming up quick!!! Are you excited?!?! What are your WO plans for the upcoming week? Are you going to go easy before the RT or work extra hard to be ready?

Amelia, I would love to hear puppy news as well! Fill us in!
 
Hi Girls.

I FINALLY got my log in sorted out! I forgot my password! I could not remember it, and that was only because I was looking at the new screen. This is quick post to say hi and I am REALLY HAPPY. I'll be back later to explain and post.

I've returned. This weekend has been great workout wise for me AND my eating has been pretty good, so, I've completed the week and I'm HAPPY!!

Do you girls know, that I think in all my time challenging, this is the first week I can honestly say I'm pleased with the WHOLE week!!

The new forum is taking me a bit to get used to.

Have a great Sunday.

Andrea
 
Good Morning girls!!!!

Boy am i glad to see everybody today, i was going through some major cathe forum withdrawls. The puppy is doing great!! I took him to get his first set of shots yesterday(and nearly fainted at the price) and that went very well. Cassie girl,my lab mix, did notice him on friday after her walk(she stays outside and we have no outside gate to the back yard so she goes through the living room to go back outside) anyhoot,she kinda lunged at him,but didn't growl....she was just curious. I doubt i will ever walk them together though,he is just to little. We havn't really settled on a name yet....were trying out Rocky right now....i got tired of chico,lol!

Becca-wow,im sorry you have the flu....how awful. I would insert a sad smilie right here but i can't find them yet! I sending you some hugs and get-rid-of-flu-vibes. Take care and stay hydrated!


Andrea-yay on being pleased with your whole week!! Congrats!!!

Jean-wow superwomen,great workouts girl!!! Thats awesome! The only thing about the puppy i don't like is the dreaded potty training....AND hes so tiny i can't see his poop until i step on it,urrrrrrrrrrrr! LOL,DH and I play with him more than the kids do....i guess he will be our baby!

Hey to Shirl,Elaine,Lori anybody i miss,my coffee hasn't kicked in yet?

today is a full body weight work and a thirty minute dog walk! OMG,i almost forgot to tell you girls....i start really watching what i ate starting last wednesday right....well the scale said i was down 6lbs yesterday morning...YIPPEEE!

Where are all the smillies?
 
Hey girls,done with my workout! I did my own thing with weights...3sets of 15 using light weight for LB and heavy as i can go for UB...trying out a new theory on my LB. I was shaking all the way through the workout so i know i did some good!

ok,everybody have a good day!
 
Becca, sorry to hear you have the flu. Yes I’m getting excited about the roadtrip. Are you excited for your’s? Wish we were going to the same. Wish I could figure out a way to drop in on the August one. Are you going to do the Friday morning class or just the road trip? I will workout Monday and Tuesday and then Wednesday will be my rest day. I’ll be in Jersey on Thursday so I will either workout at the hotel or if others are going to Cathe’s gym, I’ll see if I can tag along. Hope you feel better soon.

Andrea, glad you are pleased with this week’s efforts. Keep that momentum going. I was looking back at my Cathe calender and July has been a good month for me for workouts. Now to concentrate on the food. Maybe the new nutrition guide in the workout manager will help.

Amelia, Wow, great job on the 6lbs. Send some of those good eating vibes my way. Glad to hear the puppy is settling in. Hope the potty training comes swiftly. Are you crate training him? That was the easiest way for us with our dogs. As for the size difference, they may eventually be able to be together. We had a boston terrier and a golden retriever at the same time and they were the best buddies.

Today was another bike ride with DH. Hoping to make this a habit through the summer. We didn’t go as far as yesterday. I’ve done something(while sitting on the floor the other night) to my hip and it is giving me some grieve. I hope it is 100% by the road trip. If not I’ll just take it easy and just enjoy meeting everyone.

It feels so good to be back on the forums. I was really going through withdrawals. I just hope I don’t become addicted to the new features like chat and then end up spending way to much time on the computer. I used to have to monitor DD’s usage when she was a teenager. Now she will have to monitor mine. LOL.

Hi to everyone else. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Jean
 
Good Afternoon,

Didn't workout this weekend had a headace for 2 days and TTOM watched DDs puppy all day yesterday. Will workout everyday this week leaving on vacation next Sunday. Hope everyone has a good da.
 
Eek

Wow, having trouble here. I wound up re-registering. The system didn't recognize ANYTHING about me.:confused: Whatever.

Managed to get a walk in today - my legs are sore for some reason. I'll either walk/run tomorrow or do a DVD. I'm trying to get my outside time in while I can, though.

Jean, have fun on the RT. I keep hoping that one of these years I'll be able to go. Say hi to Gayle for me if you see her.

Amelia, have fun w/ that puppy! We just have kitties @ our house. They adopted us 2 years ago (they were feral cats).

Becca, hope you're feeling better soon!

OK, I'm supposed to be getting some work done, so I'd better scoot! I'll see if I remember how to do this tomorrow from my work computer LOL!
 
Good Bye

Hey girls due to the new forum and my computer illiteracy I am no longer going to be posting on here they have made it just alittle to complicated. Nice chatting with all of you and good luck meeting all your goals.
 
Roxie, sorry to hear about the headache. Hope you are back to normal soon. I'm going to be PMSing for the roadtrip so that ought to be fun. I'm already going to be emotional meeting everyone so I don't need that increased. And I sure don't want cramping or headaches to ruin my trip. I guess I need to pack some extra pain meds to keep things at bay.

Andrea H. sorry you had to re-register. I didn't have any problems, just typed in my email address under the lost password FAQ and got my new one right away. I hear that there are several that aren't getting theirs too. Bummer. I will definitely tell Gayle Hi for you. I just got through talking with her a few minutes ago. I hope that you get to go one of the future road trips. They are so much fun. I would recommend them to everyone.

I've got to get back to work. Trying to stay caught up so I won't feel guilty taking Thursday and Friday off.

Jean
 
Roxie, so sorry to hear that. I hate to see you go. I keep stumbling through this new stuff too. It takes me for ever to learn something new. We'll miss you. Stop in every once in awhile and say Hey, if you can. My biggest fear with this new stuff is that it will eat up what little extra time I have and I'll be stuck in front of my computer hours on end when i should be doing other stuff. Hope that doesn't happen. Take care of yourself and best of luck in all you do.

Jean
