Looking good Tracy. I know you can do it.

[Ears We Go!]

Oh, dear......I better get busy and try to catch up with Tracy. I have only done one mile once, that was last week!

You're doing a great job Tracy! Keep it up!!

[iluvwdw2008]

Keep up the great work Tracy!!

[Ears We Go!]

I tried out spinning today.....Boy! That was hard work! I'll try to stick with it as part of my get fit & traning for DL 1/2 .

GREAT Cathy! I don't belong to a gym, so just have my treadmill at home that I use. I will then try getting outside and running around the block. I also have Wii fit and will do that as well!

[bubblykitty6381]

I think you gals are doing great. I haven't started my training yet. I have to renew my gym membership and get back into using the wii fit. I think that should help some.

What I have been doing is walking about 1-2 miles to and from the park near my house, plus chasing the kids around is great exercise.

I have been eating better too :)

I can't wait to see how you guys progress! Keep up the great work.

Spinning is awesome.. Once you get used to it you will do great!!

I need to keep maintaining 3 miles at a time, I need to strengthen my feet! I notice they get sore with the 3 miles. Maybe slow down and go further, I'm not sure.

[Ears We Go!]

Tracy, you're doing great!!

I will try to do lots of walking on my trip @ WDW and around the cruise ship. :)

Signing off here for a few days....maybe I might be able to post stuff from my phone to FB. If I have time.
Bye Bye...
