Agreed. The primary benefit is the social piece.
Have a great weekend.

I like the "team effort" aspect. It really does work...you know, like Sparkpeople!!! LOL
The only problem I see with SP, not everyone is a team player. If they do things better as a loner, then SP doesn't work as well on the social piece of it. They can still log and get the benefits.

Very cool Pris! Sounds like a great plan. Cannot imagine the CEO would have issues since it was a group decision and benefits everyone involved.
One week until Springfield!!

WE had a wonderful meeting Sunday afternoon. It went really well. I've given the changes to the CEO. I'm not sure what she will think, but I'm sticking to my guns on this one.
The changes will be awesome for the members at the gym. It will also allow me to have a day off from the gym (needed! LOL) It will give a weekend day off for 2 of the girls. All 3 of us having been working every weekend for years now. The total number of hours doesn't change for the week for all employees. I think that's a win/win situation...and we worked together!

Do you know how to "huddle" on our page? No, I didn't say "puddle", I said Huddle!!
Look to the right of your screen and you will see a rolling team stream. Click on the bubble below it to huddle or give a motivational blurp to others on the team.
Try huddling and see if anyone notices!! Great job Cindykc2000 for keeping up the faith on huddling!!!

Good Evening Everyone!!
Even though it's suppose to rain tomorrow, I'm meeting my new running buddy at 24 hour fitness at 7:30am for an easy run. We will probably treadmill it, but it's a good start for a new partnership!!
Loving life, but need to get off the laptop...dance lesson in 30 minutes! See Ya

I know what you mean. I walk so much further when I am walking with someone than I do when walking by myself.
Hope the event is successful. I will be hanging at home waiting for my new washer and dryer to arrive.

Thanks! Not everyone is into running and that's ok!! LOL
It's always nice to have someone to run with outside. Safety reasons first of all, but the social aspect is great. The miles fly by without hardly breaking a sweat...especially today!
FYI- Women's Afternoon Out event Saturday, May 4th 12p-4p Free to the public Cash and Carry fundraiser Benefits the SW Blvd Family Fitness Ctr (not for profit gym) in Kansas City, Ks
Facials, massage, jeans, jewelry, couple's sweet treats, 31, etc...nice event and great bargains!!

I am not a runner, so I will not be joining you.
Been doing a lot of strength work but not much cardio lately. Too much going on. Did get in a nice walk on Wednesday though.

Good Morning!!
I hope you all are staying focused!! I've been looking for a running buddy for Thursday mornings. I know not all of us have "normal" work schedules, so I thought I would throw this out to you all:
Next Thursday morning, I'm meeting a lady to run at around 7:30am at 24 hour fitness off of Crackerneck and 39th street. We will do an easy run of 3 miles...of course there will be hills!
If you are interested in running with us, you are more then welcome to join us!! Give me a shout if, so I know who to expect to show up.

Ouch! Poor Lakey! As you already know, it will not be his last.
Finishing up my last class before I graduate with my MBA, trying to get my bathroom renovated and my bedroom painted, and keep up with the kids. Also have lots of yard work that needs to be done if it EVER stops raining.
Today I need to start the painting process, but am not the least bit motivated.

Very cool. Hope he is as dedicated as the rest.
Had a wonderful visit with my BF and grandbaby yesterday. Today I am meeting another friend and her daughter for lunch. Have not seen them in months so I am really looking forward to it.
Between today and tomorrow I need to run to Lowe's and order my new bathroom flooring and pick up the paint for it and I my bedroom.

I had a meeting with the CEO yesterday. She heard what I said!! Downside: I have to create a new schedule for the gym classes with different instructors and all their schedules. I didn't get much sleep last night because I was thinking about all this.
I'm working on it now. It is time for a change and fresh blood in the gym. It will also slow me down a bit, so I can do other things...imagine that! LOL
It has started off to be a great day! I hope everyone has a great day!

I like the seasons and the cold weather, but am ready for the change. This back and forth garbage is for the birds. The weather needs to make up its mind. Either it is cold or it is warm!
Off to another busy day. Not as insane as yesterday, but still very busy.

Awesome Pris! Getting to the kids when they are young is the best way to start them on the right path.
Still working on my reorganizing project. Took apart a cabinet in my room and got my new tool box set up and almost filled. Do need to paint my room, but that will come with time along with everything else. Tomorrow my son will start stripping my ceiling in my bathroom. Progress!

I had a great time with the kids today!!! One class asked for my autograph after viewing me on KCPT. I thought that was funny!
You should have seen their faces when I said, "Everyone stand up, make sure the floor is clean and let's do this!" I turned on the music and we were getting it!
They said my talk was the best they ever had and wanted me to come back. That made me feel good.
The teachers were happy for a few reasons. I incorporate "big" words like density or stagnate in my talk. I ask them if they know what it means. I also put biology and math into my talks. Not only do they work their bodies, but also their minds! LOVE IT!!

Yes ma'am!
Overtraining not only affects your daily routine, but can also cause burnout for many folks, especially those that have never worked out until recently.
Are you taking the day off today or just going to slow it down some?

I've been thinking a lot about my fitness regimen. I've been hitting really hard for the past 3 weeks and it's catching up with me.
I know when I'm over training when I'm tired all the time or my energy level doesn't pop up!
It's time to find a total day off in my schedule. Lots of us talk about pushing to the next level, but not so much about how important rest and recovery is. Good self care and preservation is to work your body, feed your body with nutritious food and to rest.

The zoo was a bust yesterday. It was so busy that they made one of the fields into a parking lot. Turned around and went to the square to walk around and stopped in Clinton's for some ice cream.
Had a basketball tournament today. Now home and going to work on getting some stuff done around the house.

It is Shannon more than you can know. I am working with a team that is not pulling their weight, so I am doing the majority of the work. Love the class, but it is a lot of work, which I won't miss.
It is done except for a few minor tweaks that need to be handled by someone else. If they don't happen then I will come up with another idea.
Got in a mile walk last night before bed which helped tremendously with the frustration I was feeling. Hoping to get out and enjoy the weather some today and maybe go to the zoo tomorrow.

Will the partial payment at least delay shut off? I would hope so. Good luck Shannon.
Pris, sounds like a fun and busy day.
Got in a lovely me day and even a small workout last night. Hoping to be able to do some walking today while my daughter is being evaluated, but will have to see what the therapists policy is with me leaving the building.

I have Pris. We are "over their income guidelines" since they look at gross income and not net. Personally I think that is dumb because people only have that net income to pay bills with. And I know from experience that IPL won't work with me. The manager has my account noted NOT to work with me specifically.
No money until the 25th here. Been trying to find free wood somewhat close by so we can save on gas but no luck so far.
