Re: A-Weigh We Go Week of December 17 - 22

I don't like this site...I'm all for going back to Kick. I am at work today but I am just totally exhausted...I'm having an extremely difficult time staying awake. Not sure if I'll make it all day or not but I'm a little scared to drive back home too you know? It is an hour on road....I should've just stayed in bed today.

Melanie ~~ Did you have trouble sleeping this weekend? I hope you are able to get some rest.

On a funny note ~~ each time anyone did a post here it seems that I got an email. I had to go to my preferences and change it so that I didn't get an alert each time. Oh boy.....

Lindsey! I mean this with all the love and support I can muster.... If you don't get yourself out on the road to run/walk, in the gym to crosstrain, or in your living room to do a workout video, I will put my foot so far up your behind you'll wish you had never 'met' me!

Stress and holidays.. it happens every year, like clockwork. You have the willpower and determination to NOT let them get to you, girl! How about a 15 minute walk tonight? You can do it and it'll feel GOOD! No kids, no hubby, no drama.. just you and the road.

melanie.. how are you holding up? Can you leave a bit early today?

I was just over at Kickrunners and it looks as though the site has been overwhelmed by all the new users. They had to shut down the temporary CR area that they set up for us. They are going to switch to a bigger server and hope that solves the problem. So, this is where we will have to stay for a while - so that'll give us a chance to really see if we like it or not.

I was up a pound this morning - but today Tom came to visit too. So, with all my eating, drinking and Tom - I guess that is not all bad!!

fyi.. the CR forum was not meant to be a permanent thing. Now that active is up and running, the temporary home was closed. We are still welcome to either start our own sub-forum over there amidst the running clubs. Or, in a slightly less official way, if we decide we like it there, we can all just post a weekly thread like we do now over here. I think most CR people are doing what we're doing.. taking a look at Active and deciding whether to stay or go. I imagine some folks will stay here, some will leave and go somewhere else, some will go to Kick, and lots will stay posting at both... I think it will all settle down in a few weeks. I'm with Monnier, I don't like change. When I was first at Kick I didn't like the format but now I love it. I'm learning the stuff here now...

I binged on broccoli yesterday and the gas situation is out of hand.

Lindsey! Bravo! You can do it! Feel free to email me your phone number so i can call and remind you!

Hey all, if I come back some time and cannot find you, I'll check over at the other site (if it is back up and running).

I don't have a ton of time to peruse, but so far I am less than impressed with the navigation on this 'upgrade'. :/

Re: A-Weigh We Go Week of December 17 - 22

Ugh.....it took me FOREVER to get here. I logged in and then it re-directed me to the active.com site, which seems to have no direct link to the coolrunning forums. Finally I kept clicking around and got here. And my running log is still not anywhere to be found....Grrrr....

But okay, complaining over. I was curious.....for those of you who say you don't like it here, why is that? Is it just because it's new? Because kickrunner is also new to us, and different from the old Coolrunning format we're used to. Just curious.

Last night was 25 mins on the trainer while watching The Cutting Edge (toe pick...). It was a good ride!

HHF and I came home yesterday to find our tree still standing....in fact I think our cat has pretty much lost interest and the dog never cared. So we put the lights on it and we'll see it everything is okay tonight when we get home. Last night we turned the lights on and the cat didn't care, so I guess he probably won't even notice the lights today since they're not turned on. I guess we thought it would be more complicated with a cat/christmas tree in the same house together.

Oops....just spilled coffee on some drawings - gotta run!!

I had the same problem logging in.
So, my throat is sctatchy this morning. Its not stopping me from going to the gym because I'm a little scared of what Jhi might do if I don't go.

I am just hoping its not a sign of things to come....

BBL!

Re: A-Weigh We Go Week of December 17 - 22

Oh no Michelle - take your vitamins!! Good for you for going to the gym. Maybe some chicken soup for lunch will be just what the doctor ordered! Oh, and I've been meaning to tell you that if you're ever in the mood for chicken soup, but don't have the time to do homemade, I find the mix by Knorr (Hühner Suppe) to be quite good. One liter of water, stir in the packet, boil for 5 mins and you're good to go! Low in calories, too.

We finally have sunshine here today, but it's still quite cold.

Re: A-Weigh We Go Week of December 17 - 22

Why can't I just log in one time and that is enough?? I had to log in 2 times just to post, not to mention the 4 times I tried to log in and it told me it couldn't work...

So, DH suggested that I should not go to the gym. He is worried about me being sick for Christmas! How sweet...SO I skipped today knowing I can always go tomorrow. But instead ( shhh....don't tell) I took little Lily for a walk around the neighborhood and I have some squats on my agenda today...

I actually am making soup today Michele. Great minds think alike? Italian Wedding Soup...I stopped during my walk at the neighborhood butcher shop and picked up some ground beef. How cool...I walk in and hear " Hello Mrs. Michelizda" Hard to figure out who I am...the neighborhood American! My accent always gives me away. Anyway, I asked for 1 lb ground beef.They made it especially for me. They try not to keep much in the case and make it as necessary. How's that for fresh!

I would love to run today...Its about 35F and blue, sunny sky!

Re: A-Weigh We Go Week of December 17 - 22

Morning all ~~ did a total body toning class last night and ran one whole mile - my Ipod battery was dead and I just could not get a beat going - I think I may be too dependent on that darn thing. Anyway, this morning was an incredible workout with Rontell. Ocassionally it amazes me that I am getting strong - like really strong. Anyway, tonight I will run at home on the TM (boring I know but life). Biggest Loser Finale is tonight. Bill will probably win and I would be ok with that although if I had to chose I would pick Holly just because of what she has been through since this show started. I don't particulary like the other two.

Michelle ~~ I agree that it is a pain to log in twice. Doesn't make sense. It must be nice to be greeted by name - the only place that happens for me is at my local vet and that is because my babies have pretty much paid for the new addition the vet put on their place!!!!!

Today I am traveling to pick up toys that have been donated to our kiddos. I love that people give so much but it is hard that they do it so close to Christmas. The workers have to wait for the toys and then bring them to the families all within a couple of days. doesn't make it easy. I'm not complaining though - it is an incredible support for our kids. I'll be going again on Thursday (possibly in a storm but we'll see). Both places are over an hour away so it is just about an all day affair!!!

alrighty then, I have to do some work before we leave....BBL....

Re: A-Weigh We Go Week of December 17 - 22

Morning! Really haven't had time to read the posts - just checking in quick. I ran 4 miles this morning - about 17 degrees out and a little wind to contend with. Fighting off a cold and DH is not feeling well at all. Oh Joy!

Seeing as I'm on a tight budget this year - I am making slippers. I'll try to attach a photo of the pair I made for my sister last night - I know she is just going to LOVE them!! Let me know if you want me to make some for you too.

Cheers!
