the walk

I am home now......had a good turn out

Susan could not make it she had work at the last minute......

Thanks to all of you who came and all of you who cheered us on. Some of our group won prizes in the raffle.....I got a handy personal cooler on wheels.....that will be used at the pool in Summer of '10....wow that sounds funny....

I am going to take a nap now......only had 2 hours of sleep then a total of 4 hours driving.....

love yall
Tammy

Thank you all......

No dahling,
Thank you for driving so far, for loving us so much and for fighting so hard for a cause!!!

Monday is coming and I will get back on the treadmill!!! Love you for going, hope a good time was had by all!

Call me soon,
Rhonda!!!

I was going to call you, but glad I checked in here first to see you taking a nap. Good for you!  Thank you for being such a great friend, supporter and all around great gal.

Gary won one of those coolers last year....love it

I enjoyed meeting everyone.  It was a beautiful day.  Had a little trouble finding it but I couldn't miss the bright OHAR shirt you had on.   Our daughter and son-in-law came over to watch the game and Alexis made them some hot wings and a new creamed spinich recipe that was to die for.  I think I can tweek it and lower the fat and calorie count.  I must admit that I did eat some though.  Ya'll have a good day.  I'm planning to get the house whipped into shape and hit the yard for some mowing.

I'm sorry I missed all the fun.  Next time y'all next time

Tammy, You are my HERO!!! As I have told you that many times already =) Thanks for the exercise tips... I bought some nice New Champion running shoes today,and I plan on breaking them in... I think you looked absolutely gorgeous at the walk, and I looked like BLAH.... Anyways, it was great seeing and meeting everyone, the walk was very beautiful and the weather was just lovely.... I had so much fun.. I won a tanning certificate that I couldn't use because the store was in LR, And I live 3 hours from there, so my dad gave it back to them to re-draw for the raffle... I dont like tanning anyways.... Love yha all... 

thanks Court....you looked good girl.....next time I see you , you will probably be a tiny little thing...keep up the good work.

break in those shoes in normal wear....you dont want ot break them in on the treadmill or elliptical....just because of the discomfort new shoes sometimes cause. Also make sure you have good socks too.....nothing too thin or too thick....

You might like tanning when you get to where you want to be weight wise. We women cange our minds ya know.

Try those tricep kickbacks.....they do work.....and get on that ball for crunches.....you have to get your core built up ......  no matter what exercise you do or what muscle you are working always hold your tummy in your core is very important to all that you do....walking sitting standing working out.....strong core muscles also take alot of the stress off the lower back because your posture is better......I was taught at a young age that everytime I walk through a door way suck in my tummy.....now it is habit.....I dont even know I am doing it and I have woke myself up in the night doing it.....good rule of thumb.....suck it in!!

I am glad I met you and I am just happy to help.....feel free to ask my anything.

Love ya
Tammy

Your very welcome Tammy, and Thank you =) I sure hope so, these exercises you have been giving me should help me get to where I would like to be....

I wore them to school today with casual wear =) I am sure hoping to be running in them shortly....

Yes, when I get smaller, I am sure I will like tanning a little better... I get in a 2 piuece around my family at the lake, but am not comfortable enough to be wearing it around anyone else without a shirt and some swim shorts =)

I will for sure try those, although refresh my little memory on how to do those again??? Not the crunches on the ball, but the tricep kickbacks... Were those the ones with the weights that you were saying to do them with a 5-8 lb. ??? Sorry, I get confused sometimes....

LOL =) Wheneevr I take a picture, I tuck in my tummy.... Never heard of doing it when walking through a door, I will have to try that...

I am very glad I met you also, and I look forward to seeing you next year =) I will keep you in touch of how my workouts are going, and I am glad you are helping me... I would be clueless without you....

Love yah too,
Court

Court,

tricep kickbacks......hold the dumbells one in each hand, 5 lbs to start

feet shoulder width apart knees slightly bent

bend at the waist.....

your upper arms are close to your body and you kick back your forearms behind you....hold the weight at your chest to start and kick it back do not move your shoulders and upper arms....

by moving the forearm it is engaging the tricep....which is where we have that flabby skin

12-15 reps and 3 sets if you can use the 5lb weight with no tiring then move to an 8. You will not get a big bulky muscle there....you will tone it and make it less jiggly

look it up on sparkpeople or google it to see it done if you are unsure of proper form. HOLD IN YOUR TUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I did that... Thank you once again VERY Much =)
