The best remedy for a short temper is a long walk. ~Jacqueline Schiff
Walking: the most ancient exercise and still the best modern exercise. ~Carrie Latet
An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day. ~Henry David Thoreau
A dog is one of the remaining reasons why some people can be persuaded to go for a walk. ~O.A. Battista
With that said...... Time to get moving.
Went to the gym and did 45 min of cardio. Hope you all are having a great day!

Just Do It! - Nike!
Ok, so I had a super busy weekend and could not blog but here I am. I am getting ready to go walk/run up to the high school.
Pam: I feel your pain. It's tough. Especially if you don't have a work out buddy. That's why I started blogging. I have lots of friends I work out with sometimes but nothing/noone consistently. It makes it hard. So, you have to find motivation inside yourself or for something greater than yourself. That's why last week I decided to try and get people together and walk/run the 1/2 in September for Margot. I'm sure you can do it. Just stop putting everyone else first (we moms are good at that) and JUST DO IT!
Cloie: I need to be where you're at in mileage. I haven't started seriously training so today I'm going to try and run as much as I can. Even if I puke my baked potatoe I had for lunch. Ha ha. Keep up the great work. RE: P90X, I'm using some tricep exerecises right now, but haven't dones the videos in a while. I need to get back on it!
As always, thanks for checking in ladies and stay sweaty!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Few Motivational Quotes:
Here's my blog (early) for Thursday:
Unless You Puke, Faint or Die, Keep Going!” – Jillian Michaels
The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph!” – Marvin Phillips
There are only 2 choices; make progress or make excuses.” – Ellen Mikesell
Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Louis Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein.” – H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
A friend who is a runner recently told me to stop running for yourself and run for someone else! So, I am officially running the Va. Beach Half for Margot Murphy! Now I have to get moving! The anniversary of her passing is next month. Say a little prayer for the Murphy Family. I spoke w. Debbie a few days ago. She is so inspiring!

A beautiful rainy day!
I can't believe how well you are doing Jen. I want so bad to lose even 5 lbs to get motivated. Congrats on the SEVEN POUNDS!
Well, it a nice rainy day and a nap is in my future. I did go to the gym and did 20 min on the treadmill and 20 on the stair climber. So, no guilt here! I am going to do the back,shoulder, tricep workout on the p90x later.
Cloie- what's up chica??? I'm back!
Pam- read an article at work last night about weight loss. One gal did your '30 min a day' (walking) and before long was running and now she is 60 lbs lighter! So, keep it up! Even if it kills you! lol.
Keep me posted on the training for the 1/2's.

Wow! Motivation is in the air!
It sounds like you all are on the move. I can't commit to the 1/2 until I start training for the 1/2 I already signed up for this September. But I will keep it in mind.
I went to the gym, finally, today. I did 1 hour cardio on 4 machines. (eliptical, treadmill, bike and stair climber). Had to mix it up a little. Hoping to run/walk tomorrow!
Keep me posted on your training so I can stay motivated. Especially w. the 1/2 marathon training!

Dear Mr. Gym,
Thank you for welcoming me back today. You cleared everyone out by 12:30 and I got pick of machines. I know I have not been a loyal friend. I tried another workout and left your equipment cold. I promise I can balance 2 workouts. I MUST!
I quickly was reminded how far I've fallen when I tried on my shorts yesterday and they were too small. Did I mention they were my FAT shorts. I am good at multi tasking in all areas of my life. Why must I leave you behind so often?
It's a new day, though. The sun shining and I'm feeling a little more devoted to you! So, hang in there! I promise to hang in there too! Our relationship is worth it!
Your frumpy friend,
Kathy Rau
