I saw this on Julie's blog and nabbed it...  She will stop by from time to time (girl passing on left) and it is a great thought...

Hey Emerson I will take credit for this one, I put it on Julies blog and it is very true, don't sacrifice your gifts, use them...and actually I believe everything is a gift. Amy IN

Hi guys, Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas/Hanukkah...or whatever you may celebrate. Pam is right, now is the time to get going on that training. We all know we have spent many a night eating and drinking at all those parties...hope you all the best...Pam is a great mentor - she and Emerson together will rock! See you guys at the finish line! HAPPY TRAINING!

Have a VERY VERY Happy New Year!

amy mutz - 2008-12-27 2:46 PM For everyones information, I am going to remain a hippo avatar until I lose 10 lbs, and then I will become a tiger, and then after another 10 I will become a hawk, and then when I reach my goal you will see the new me.

Well done, I look forward to seeing the changes.... I know you will do well and we will be with you all the way...   Emerson

Good morning everyone!

I'm sitting in front of the computer this morning, trying to convince myself to go out and brave the cold.  It's very windy as this front pushes through, and the temperature is dropping dramatically -- 10 degrees since I got up!  I usually like running when it is cold outside, but windy too???  I'm not so much a fan of frostbite.

We're heading home later today, and although it was nice being with family over Christmas, I'm ready to get back to the Florida weather.  I'm thinking a bike ride after work tomorrow is in order.  And it's time to get back on a real training plan!

Hi Cheri,

Get your butt outside and run!  

I'm at work again.  I'm on for 5 days which is a lot of time in a row here.  I'm glad to see the chatter about resolutions.  I will respond more later on and post the name boxes.  Well off to do stuff.

cathcan - 2008-12-27 9:03 PM dumb question....... what is an avatar? i'm thinking it is the icon or picture beside our names? if so how do i activate this? took the kids to see "bed time stories" with adam sandler tonight. very fun..... sometimes........you have to think like a seven year old  take care all  cath

Cath,

Look up at the top left of your log page and you will find the "control panel".  Click on that and then scroll all the way to the bottom.  You will see a spot up upload a profile picture... That is where you get the little photo for your image.  It is called an avatar (I have no idea why).  Mine is from a marathon, Amy used an animal, sledge has a small group shot... we use whatever we like.  Just know that it needs to be small, under 50K in size.  You can upload album photos up to 200K but not for your little picture.  As you may have noted if you have been to my training log I like up upload photos from time to time...

Have a good day, more to come... Emerson

I did, but it was hardly worth it!  No motivation... I need to get started on my training plan!

ARRRRRGHHHH!   hey sledge..... do you have a "sledge" hammer i could borrow  my mantra for the day "i love my computer i love my computer"  doing a 40 minute swim workout today as part of my training on monday.  daughter has a dentist appt. so can't do a lane swim tommorrow.training officially starts tommorrow. booked in for child care at the gym. a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step tommorrow  morning.

Had to share one more photo of Rowan... grandpa just can't get enough....

Okay... so from what I can see so far... there is some chatter going on but it is mostly with answering my question and figuring out the tech details of the website.  I would love for some more chitchat between everyone else.  It is going to get really boring reading my responses to everyone all the time.

I've been thinking about how to handle the nutrition/weight loss goals everyone is setting.  First things first, I would really like a list of the things you know you are doing bad ie eating too much, chocolaholic, not getting your veggies and fruits, those kinds of naughties.  Then I want to also know what you are doing well.  When I get responses from everyone (this is for everyone because everyone can eat better!) I will complete a list and we can go from there.  The best answers will be the simple ones, like those I mentioned and any others you can come up with. 

I am going to fix up the name box right now and post it in a little bit! 

Okay... I am going to attempt this... bare with me. Please let me know if ANYTHING is wrong with these. I am not sure if the code or the boxes will post so just copy what you want to your log. If you have any issues just ask. I do have them labeled above the code/boxes. You need to copy the whole thing code for the box you want or the whole box itself for it to work.
