Re: Welcome to the July Exercise Check In

Bopper, yes, Kacy rocked it! I've even watched the replay several times. Such concentration and determination she displayed, awesome performance throughout, but especially the last 3 obstacles. It still makes me smile.

You did change shopping days, Bopper. You fooled me! Sorry Logan's such a pain on walks.

Patty, I hope your day is a better one today. Lots of good wishes to DH. Oh, I just remembered....Crossfit finals are next weekend starting Fri PM on ESPN. I checked the regional results and the 3-time men's winner Rich Froning did great...he won his region and I think had the best score of all regions. Amazing.

Hi, Mick! Good to see you!

TG done. One more ANW comment...it was cool to see how on-the-edge-of-their-seats the other competitors were while watching Kacy's run and that they, too, were thrilled when she finished. Success from all is celebrated. I love thay.

Re: Welcome to the July Exercise Check In

Hi everyone!

Yep nomless...I loved watching the cheering section, that was as exciting as her run! I watched it again this morning...awesome!

MickD...I know it's true! I was always a mileage junkie though and have trouble with it. I sure feel stronger in the gym though when I'm not doing the junk miles.

bopper...that was our trip to physical therapy with Lucy on Tuesday...not barking but whining about everything...ay! And that was the day I was in the mood from Hades to begin with...lol!

I had a nice day yesterday, ended up going shopping and out to lunch with my gf's for my birthday. My gf needed a new swimsuit for her vacay today, she found 2 at Kohl's she liked, last place she went. Then I went grocery shopping last night and it wasn't that crowded which was a nice surprise.

I didn't feel well this morning, my stomach was upset for some reason. Took Lucy for a mile, my foot was killing me...then went to gym and did legs and bi's.

Going to take her for a couple of miles on the beach as soon as they clean our room(I have to be here because of animals)...I'll have to carry her though because of heat and people on beach. She won't like that but she still enjoys the view.

Have a great day everyone!!

Happy birthday, Patty!

For BL viewers: I just read that Jillian has left the show again. She felt she was portrayed inaccurately...too much "tough" and not enough of the "love" (i.e., the caring relationships she developed with her team). She also didn't like the incident in which she was portrayed as cheating last year.

Re: Welcome to the July Exercise Check In

Hey all, I did a long bike ride this morning..Decided to ride to town and go to Kohls'...22.5 miles round trip....took me 2 hours and 15 minutes..

Nice out though and only low 70's.

Happy Birthday Pppmint! Hoping you are having a wonderful day...glad you had a nice time yesterday with your gf's

Nomless I read that too about Jillian...2 new trainers are joining the cast! I sometimes go on Tuesday and sometimes on Wednesdays now...grocery shopping i mean!

MickD hi and waving.

Put my DS on a plane about an hour ago...hard to see him go and he was here for such a short time. I think his friends saw him more than we did but that's how he rolls.

Have a great day everyone!

Re: Welcome to the July Exercise Check In

Bopper, you had a nice ride today. I wonder who the new BL trainers will be. Would like to see Jackie Warner give it a try. The turq doublet ring came today. I love it. A gorgeous robin egg blue and the doublet makes it look like it's glowong from within. So glad I found an alternative to the expensive Ripka. Oh, and cardio is done

Re: Welcome to the July Exercise Check In

Hi, all!! It's been a super busy week. I felt like today should've been Friday!!! Let's see....... I worked out every day this week, either walking on treadmill or outside and/or Pilates, and today I did some weights and spin at the gym. Tomorrow I'm going to wake up earlier and do Pilates. Saturday I have something all day, so I'm going to miss spin. Smiley Sad I'll catch up next week. Will probably do something on Sunday to make up for it. Smiley Happy Happy BDay, Patty!! Hope this year is full of health and blessings. Smiley Wink Bopper, sounds like a nice bike ride. It rained here all day, so it made me feel so tired. Lol! Nomless, that Kacy is something, isn't she??? I don't watch ANW, but saw the clip of her -- amazing!! I could totally do that. Blindfolded. NOT. ........... :-0 ok, I need to chill out for a little, and I think an early bed time is in order. Have a Happy Friday, everyone!!

Re: Welcome to the July Exercise Check In

Hi guys!!! Thanks for b-day wishes, it was a strange one...lol. When you start it off not feeling great and have a bumble-bee fly in your arm-pit, you kind of know it probably isn't looking good for the rest of the day...lol! Had a relaxing time at the beach though.

My family and friends spoiled me terribly...I cried more than once. I'm not a "gift" person, that isn't my love language, but people taking the time to put into words what I mean to them just tears me up. However, I did get a nice gc from the kids to the Q that I'm actually going to use...they told me I can't buy them anything with it or they'd be mad. They know me so well because that was my first thought!

Anyway, I had another good work-out and I'm getting stronger, going up in weights and down on the scale...win-win! Dh went to gym with me, he said I surprised him a little with how hard I worked out with everything I have going on. He said he thought he was going to have to run over and help me on bench but I got 'er up. I said, "I thought you were going to have to help me too"! I did one-last-rep and it took everything I had to get it back up there, I got a little nervous! LOL!

Taking Lucy for a run on the beach now, I just ate so need to let it settle a little. Have a fabulous day everyone!!! We have good friends coming into town we haven't seen in a while so I'm excited about that too!
