DAY 31---WE MADE IT....

TGIF My August Friends.... Friday already & it's the last day of March. If there was anyone out there that doubted themselves to complete the March exercise challenge.....Give yourself a pat on the back & a round of applause .... WE MADE IT Let's get ready for April...Another wonderful month. I'll continue this post daily as it is sooo important to me. It keeps me going. Like I've said a zillion (is that a real number??? ) times..... I love you all, you keep me motivated. I couldn't do this without all of you. So here's my exercise for today Weight March 1st - March 6th 204.5 Today's Weight - 200 So that would be 4.5 lbs for the month. Of course if you add the 3.5 that I gained on March 7th that brought me to 208, then subtracted that would be -8 lbs this month. I won't make it complicated & go with the 4.5 for the month.... Better than nothing & I'm sure I'm building muscle with all the walking. Today I got up bright & early & hit the pavement at 5:45... I walked until 7:20 it's so beautiful outside. I walked a little over 5 miles. Met up with some deer in our beautiful Forest Park. They certainly weren't shy. Heck I was talking & walking towards them & they didn't move. Made me a little nervous .... Any plans for the weekend? I'm actually staying home this weekend. Gonna work tomorrow... Now that I got the raise, the OT is really going to pay off. Hope everyone has a wonderful.....WONDERFUL day... Congratulations to all of us for one heck of a month & to all of you Tammy 291/284/200/145

YESSSS! Congratulations to all of us for making it through a whole month of exercising! Well most of us (I took almost 2 weeks off!) !!!! I am so proud of us! And like Tammy, I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! Tammy....5 miles????? WHOOO HOOO!!! That is AWESOME girlfriend!!! You are my inspiration and my HERO! It felt so good to get out there and walk again yesterday! It helped too because I lost another lb! So my stats for March (I am sure you are ALL getting tired of hearing me gush about my losses!!!) March 1: 204lbs March 31: 189lbs! Loss: 15lbs! yahhhoooooo! I am 8 short lbs from the CENTURY CLUB! That sounds so weird to me. Just over a year ago, even up until the day I had surgery, I NEVER would have thought I could lose that much weight. It's very surreal to me. Even as I was slipping on my size 12 jeans this morning. It seems like a dream that I never want to wake up from! You all are my inspiration and what keeps me going. I couldn't do this without all of the support I get from you all. Take care and have an awesome Friday! and to you too!!! Lori 281/189/140 49lbs to goal! 8lbs to the CENTURY CLUB!

Yea! We did make it - didn't we? I think I have become an exercise addict thanks to you all. I walked a mile during my morning break, a mile during my lunch, I will walk another during my afternoon break (if it does not begin to rain) and I will jog a mile tonight on the treadmill. I even got whistled at by a man driving by today at lunch. OK - so he was not that good looking and he didn't JUMP ME, Lori, but it did make me smile. LOL!!!!! Any who.. I am very thankful for this daily post. I love each and every one of you. You are all filled with so much love, support and laughter. As for weekend plans, Tammy.. My son has his first baseball game tomorrow. He plays a double header. So, as usual, I will be at the baseball field all weekend. I know you all are so jealous of my exciting life. LOL. My stats.. Weight March 1: 200 Weight Today: 192 Monthly Loss: -8 Have a Great Weekend LOL, Sherry 276/192/130-140

"OK - so he was not that good looking and he didn't JUMP ME, Lori, but it did make me smile. LOL!!!!!" Sherry, you made ME smile! Lori

Hey Tammy- what was the TOTAL number of minutes, hours etc, that we colectively spent? Any idea? We should see if we can beat that number for April - since we are all getting into the habit of being more consistent! Ciao! Donna
