Hi team!

Lynda, Thank you inviting me to be a co-leader for the team!

Last night I exercised with my pilates cables.. it really works my legs and core. I need lots of help with my belly lol.

Today I filled out an application for part time work at the Angels Baseball Stadium and after work I am going to stop by to turn it in.. I work early hours at the Day Program and hope the stadium can hire me so I can supplement my income. I have a friend who works at the stadium as an usher for games and other events the stadium hosts. Wish me luck!

Have a great day team!!!

Good morning.. the weather is beautiful here in Southern California. Its currently 78 degrees and sunny.

What is everyone doing for Superbowl Sunday? I am going to my bf's brother's house. I put in on the SB Pool at work.. $100.00 if you win. I bought 10 squares.

Have a good day everyone!

I went on the After Work Fitness Hike on Hicks Haul Road with the Irvine Ranch Conservancy [I was the docent] - check them out at irlandmarks.org/activities - there's a ton of hikes, day and night

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted - yes, I have been to both Oak Canyon and Santiago Oaks - Santiago Oaks is great for hiking and is right near my house so I've taken the dogs there many times. You should check it out.

Still hope to see you on an IRC hike one of these days - come join us whenever you get a chance - in the meantime, good luck with your other hiking and walking!

Hi team! Yesterday I had a really good cardio work out for 85 minutes. I have worked over these past 3 weeks to go longer. I started at 30 min, 45 min, then to an hour. Yesterday was the longest I have done. I feel I am capable of doing so much more and just never gave my body the chance all these years.

Thanks for the invite Lynda.. if I get a chance during the week I will try to join the hike one evening. Sounds like you are doing a great job maintaining your weight. Have you been to Oak Canyon Nature Center and Santiago Oaks Regional Park? I have been looking at those two online and they seem just beautiful to go walking or hiking. I think I'll try to plan a weekend to go check them out.

Good idea for this thread - thanks for starting it! I've been so busy lately, I've had to put 'sparking' on the back burner but hope to get back more frequently in the future. I'm getting loads of exercise, mostly hiking, and have been watching my calories but not losing any weight lately - not gaining either so that's better than the alternative, haha!

It sounds like you are getting 'into the groove' with exercise - good for you! If you want a good 'evening walking workout,' join us on Thursday nights for a slower paced fitness hike in Irvine - you can see the details and register at www.irlandmarks.org/activities/default.asp
x . I'll be there this week and next week, then I'll be gone for a couple of weeks while we're on vacation and back again on 11/15 - it's fun and burns a lot of calories!

Hi team!!! Happy Monday!!! I was pretty proud of myself yesterday.. I made low carb chicken enchiladas for dinner and only ate one. That is a huge success for me to only eat one lol. I topped it with a very and I mean "very" small dab of sour cream, slice of tomato and shredded cabbage. This morning I weighed in and lost .7 for a total of 13.1 lbs. Today I packed my gym bag before work and have it in my car ready to go. This is to keep me from going home and sitting around.. I get so comfortable that I don't want to go to the gym once I'm home on the comfy couch. Please use this as a chat thread.. thought it would be fun to chat about anything we want. I am wishing y'all a great week. Go team!!!
