Can I get one of those for Friday?

I love my foam roller for rolling out soreness...and what is nice is I lie on the floor in front of the tube and work away on all my muscles while watching my favorite show

naners - 2009-01-12 11:33 AM Happy monday all!  I managed to go for a swim this morning, and hope to get some trainer time in this weekend.  It all depends on what the family bonding plan is for this evening.  Now, if I could get them all on trainers.  To bad we don't have enough trainers. .

maybe not, but you are surrounded by ocean...how about taking them all for a nice ocean swim! or have them walk on the beach while you run circles around them... have a great time and enjoy thier visit...way to get already get your swim in! kiu!!! 

way to make it to the gym those four days....funny you talk of mandatory high school gym classes and I think that I spent the majority of my gym classes at the beach... I was a bad bad baaaaaaad girl, but have turned into the angel you all have come to know....ok not! on senior skip day, myself and three other girlfriends decided to go across the street to the apartments and go for a swim during gym....we jumped in the pool and preceded to have a great time...running and splashing about...I dont know why we didnt think that the residents....well we were busted! we saw the girls dean walk into the courtyard and she was telling us to get out of the pool...the three others listened, and I decided it would be cute to go up grab a breath of air and go back under...then come up for another quick breath of air and so on....each time I came up...I would hear Julie...Ms Griffin...Julie...you...hey....and finally after doing this for a good 5 minutes I saw that she was not very happy. When I did finally get out...she was fuming! she marched us back to school...and just as we got inside the school..wouldnt you know that the bell rang and the halls filled up with all our school mates...needless to say, we had many chuckles all a bout...we were drenched wet and in very see thru white gym outfits...not looking my best that is for sure! the dean called only my parents and I was sooooo grounded! they now laugh about it and tell me that the dean said that she thought we were very clever and was one of the funniest things she has had to deal with. Dang...why was I grounded for a month then!

abud7373 - 2009-01-11 9:35 PM <<<<<<< I want those legs back!

I want those legs too... I just want my old butt back Amy IN

I want my legs,  and slimmer butt back and I raise you with wanting my slim trim and super buff arms backl.

I can't stand the "muffin top" anymore.  I'll take the cottage cheese thighs and the bat wing triceps, but I don't know how much longer I can put up with the spare tire.

Also, put me down for 10 lbs.  I'm at 145 right now, and I think 135 would be a good weight for me.

Happy Monday everyone!!!  Congrats to everyone losing weight!!!  I need to.  Mine was up again this morning, it always goes up the day after I'm too lazy to train.

Anyway, hope everyone is having a good Monday.  (I'm having a little trouble keeping up on the current topics...sorry about that.)

I SWAM! and I swam for an  hour and 15 minutes....and guess what they decided to put over one of the two olympic size pools....a tent. Yes, a tent that keeps the cold and windy elements out! yay...I swam in the one that was uncovered today since it was soooo nice, but was happy to see that I have options. This pool is only a few miles away...so this is very exciting!

ME TOO, ME TOO -- I SWAM TODAY!!!  I didn't do anything close to what you did, but it was the first time I was in the pool since my last triathlon (and that was in OCTOBER!).  I'm so happy, I could scream (well, I guess I am screaming ).  I just did a bunch of laps, but it's a start, right? 

It's been a real problem for me, getting the courage up to actually do it.  I broke my collarbone a couple of years ago, had a non-union for almost year, then they put in a plate.  Well, the plate caused lots of pain and friction so that I couldn't swim anything but breaststroke.  Then last May they finally took out the plate, but I was just afraid that swimming wouldn't "measure up" to what I could do in biking and running, so I just set it to the side and gutted my way through the swim parts in the couple of triathlons I did last season.  But realistically, that's not going to work for a half ironman.  So today I went to the pool.  No magic, but I'll definitely go back again.

I always hate when I have a busy day, I end up missing so much of my people here on this mentor board !

Ok, so Monday weigh in 154, I'm up one from my best and down one from the other night's eating insanity ! lol

So glad we have a new member, I bet she'll have so much fun with all of you, I know I do !

I'll get to my blog and individual inspires tomorrow........ but for now, great on the weigh loss to thosse who had it !!   And great job on the work all of you do to get fit and ready for races !

 you rock girl...I just may have to give you the trophy of the month! kiu! when is the HM you are doing? and the magic will definitely come...you just wait and see!!

No, no, no -- that trophy is yours, fair and square -- remember, we voted!  It's like the Heismann and you can't give it back.

My HIM is in May, so now I have lots of time to swimmy swim swim!!!

An hour 15? I've never swam that long! Awesome!

I swim at the county pools. There's one about 1.6 miles from home and another less than a mile from work. Definitely convenient and the price is decent.

what do you pay to swim if you do not mind me asking? I pay $4 a swim. And if I swim my three times a week...that ends up being $48 a month...which could go towards a nice gym membership. I am sooooo torn! gym with a pool? or nice outdoor pool near me? that is the question!?

If you pay per swim it's $5.50. If you buy a 10 swim pass you get 11 swims. I bought an unlimited year pass, me plus my partner, for $300. I also get access to the exercise rooms, such as they are. The one near my house is kinda pathetic. Only one treadmill and mostly upper body equipment. The one by work is better but I haven't used it.

Hey- I am just on my way out to my spin workout with the tri club but thought that I would share this link that hubby sent me about staying warm during winter riding since it was the topic of discussion earlier.

Congrats on all of the swimming happening! I am excited to have my first tri club pool session tomorrow to see if my work over the holidays has made any difference. Catch you fishies later! 

thanks Amy...I had no idea Costco sells memberships..that is good to know! thanks!

Way to go Cheri!!  Now I understand why you needed a nudge to get into the pool.  Courage indeed.
