Weigh-in Week of January 15

Ok, feeling better now, thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm going to blame on my very calloused feet (thanks for that info.).

I think the change it up to lose weight theory is right on the money! I don't really get anywhere weight loss wise, but when I started hiking again my body had to adjust and I think that's the only reason I'm starting to lose.

Well nothing seems to be happening for me and I think it's because I've not been exercising. I find it hard to have the time and energy to exercise when I'm working. I have no trouble finding time to ride my bike because I'm going places, but exercising for exercise's sake is a struggle for me. This week coming week, I will try to do at least 3 cardio workouts and see if it makes a difference...

Kelownagirl, I totally hear what you're saying. It's the reason I started walking to work. It's like necessary exercise every work day, and helps me wake up in the morning. My walk is about 2.5km and takes me close to half an hour.

Any chance you could do that? It takes a bit of organization to do it, but, it works for me!

And with the loads of snow we've been having, I feel safer on the sidewalk than on the roads!

post or PM if you have any questions about what you need to organize!

Hugs and butterflies,

Hmmm, walk to work, prbably a very good idea. I live 3.5 km away. It's all downhill there and all uphill home. It would be good for me though. DH and I have marking and stuff to carry but we could use a backpack. We'd have to convince the 9 yo boy to walk home though. That might be the biggest obstacle. Oh, and having to be ready half hour earlier.

After we watched an Inconvenient Truth, we agreed to ride to work at least 3 times a week as soon as the weather changes.

I will think about this.

do you and DH work together? You may not be able to convince him to walk also, so you could get the walk to work, get him to drive and pick up your son and you at the end of the day. It's still some exercise, so it still helps you out!

I have to ask, though, if you were riding to work, how would your son get home?

Hugs and butterflies,

We got the little guy a new mountain bike for christmas. Enough gears for him to get up the hill now.

I mentioned walking to dear future hubby and he actually thought there was no reason why we shouldn't. We do work together. The biggest problem is that we are really tired after school and it's a long haul up the hill at 5 in the dark when you've been on your feet all day. But, never say never until new try it I guess. Worst thing that could happen is that I'd start to use the trainer avoid having to walk to work.
