Good Morning Peeps!

Let's keep up our summer momentum and keep moving. It's always more difficult for me in the winter because the weather makes it harder to just get out for a long walk. I need to really make use of the rest of the summer to help me get to my goals.

I'm still debating my plan for the day. I know I want to do the weight machines tonight after work. I cam home at 2 yesterday because I was vomiting all morning. I think I had my first Sleeve Ache so I'm taking it a little easier today until I see how I'm feeling.

Walk to work - I think I'll go the 15 minute route
Walk home - 15 minutes
Walk at lunch - 30 minutes

WLS mini support group is coming over tonight. We'll either walk the lake (3.5 miles) or we'll do water aerobics and walk in my pool. It was over 100 yesterday and will be hot again today.

Either way, I'll get in 2 hours of exercise today.

So what's your plan for the day? Please help me stay motivated.

(((HUGS))) Lee - I hope your sleeve is feeling better today. Maybe the heat is getting to you? or you ate something bad?

I won't be exercising tonight. I have a 2 hour meeting after work for the Beer and Music Festival I've volunteered to work at this weekend. After that I'm going out to dinner.

Not sure how the rest of the week will look either - I may be working the festival (setting up, etc) from Thurs - Saturday... maybe I'll get my exercise there. I have a feeling I'll be on my feet all weekend!! I'll find out tonight what my duties are.

I've decided I'm going to join a gym when the weather starts turning here (which could be soon). I'm not going to let bad weather be my excuse for NOT exercising. And if I see all the skinny chicks there - maybe that will motivate me to get a few pounds off! LOL

WTG on joining the gym Jody! I have a gym here at home but I'm still considering the 24 hour fitness that's next to my office, just to get in some fun classes.

Keep moving your feet while you're looking cute serving beer. :) Moving tables around is great exercise!

Yea, well - I'll just have gotten a new manicure, and heaven forbid if I mess it up!! I already told them no hard physical labor for me!! I was anticipating they would sign me up to move equipment on/off the music stage - lol or setting up tents - umm... not my strong point!! Can't wear my cute outfit and sandals doing that kind of work! LOL

Oy Vey! Don't hurt your manicure. :) Tell them that you have to look cute while working and burning calories.

Your post has motivated me to walk for 30 minutes at lunch today!

Oh YAY and welcome to the Fitness Challenge. I hope you'll join us everyday to help us stay motivated and get motivated yourself.

Those 30 minute lunchtime walks make a big difference in the day!

Hi Lee! I got home from class and put DS down for his nap and got right on the treadmill. Then did weights, crunches, push-ups, and planks. Lots of homework already, so I got the important stuff (exercise) out of the way first!
