Hi Derbyites,

I didn't do the treadmill as long as I wanted during BL show, I only got in 30 min. I have a sick relative staying with me (she got out of the hospital last night) and I felt guilty being down in the basement. I did do the BL dvd and the treadmill so I did get my exercise in for the day, just not the extra that I wanted.

Take Care!

Ah Sue, sorry to disappoint you, but my heart belongs to the Texas Longhorns so I was tuned into the Rose bowl tonight. BUT... I pedaled while I watched my beloved longhorns win the National Championship! Vince Young RULES! YeeeeeeHaaaaw!

I actually only managed 25 minutes on the bike, but the rest of the time I was jumping up and down, or watching in a nervous sweat. I wonder how to enter that into the fitness tracker? HMMMM

I can't remember the last time the Horns won the football title... but OF COURSE I can't. It was 35 years ago and I was only 6 years old at the time. WOW WOW WOW.

DID I TELL YOU GUYS THAT THE LONGHORNS WON?

Good luck to everyone riding.

Anybody riding tonight during the BL 2 hour extravaganza? I know that Sandra will not be able to resist this challenge...will she do 2 hours? Shelley has already said she will be doing some walking or working out, anybody else?
I think I will drag the ol Dumpster special out for this show!
TTFN,

Evening Dumpster People,
I didn't end up getting one Sue. LOL. Just keep logging my miles. I worked hard today at the food pantry, lifting lots of heavy boxes. So only did two miles tonight during NCIS.

Hi Everyone, I didn't do the bike or treadmill yesterday. I got the BL dvd and did the low instensity workout and alot of mall walking and hospital walking. I didn't have the energy to do anything else last night. I will try to do the dvd and the walk/ride tonight.

I rode last night while watching a documentary on Marine boot camp on the "military channel". Didn't even know this channel existed, but found it while surfing. It was a great show to work-out to... while I watched all those poor kids get pummeled by the officers.

I did intervals. I'm just not sure I do them right. I turn up the resistance really high and try to pedal hard and fast for 1 minute (although I can rarely go more than 45 seconds), then I'll do 3 minutes regular to recover until I start another high intensity period. I think that's right, but I feel so inadequate when I can't go more than 45 seconds.

Regardless, I booked another 5 miles... with my additional 5 miles from running/walking last week, I've gone a total of 114 miles since we started the derby. Phew!

Shelley, did you get your bike???

Sue, your new photo looks great! I didn't recognize you at first (the last photo you posted, I think you had your hair pulled back and you were standing on a balcony somewhere?). Anyway, you are really looking good.

BeckyJo, I bought a pedometer from WalMart and I bought the cheapest one...it doesn't work as well. Believe me, paying a little more is worth it. I could never count on mine ever counting accurately.
Good luck, you have a great plan!
Sue

LOL. Ok so I can't spell. Thanks Sue for the correct spelling of that new word to me. Think I am going to go to walmart tommorrow and get one. I'll be doing mine to Charmed tonight. Sorry bout the headache Sue. Drink more water maybe. Before bedtime though so You can sleep without getting up all night long.

You guys are doing great...I just walked the baby...I need a pedometer too, BeckJo! I have been fighting a headache for 2 days now and am going to try to ride later on today, probably during the later half of the Bengals game if it isn't close.
Take care and Happy New Year,
Sue

Sue, they were only guests for 20 minutes. they talked about how they didn't even like each other for most of the program. Matt said the turning point for him was when Suzie cut his hair. he said at that moment, he let loose of a lot of baggage and started seeing her in a new light. he said she was beautiful even when she was heavy (true). you can tell they were both fond of each other, but as with any new relationship, they are both being cautious i think. suzie was extremely articulate no matter what she said. that's about it, i guess.

I saw the show too. I felt so sorry for Susie. I bet the scandle sheets pick up on it now. They did look good though.
Are the reruns still going to be on bravo? I tried to find it listed but there is other stuff on mine. If anyone knows please let me know. I have dish and had recorded them and my dish got messed up in a snow storm and I lost them all. Becky Jo

Ohhhh...I wish I could have gotten that show. Tell me more Sandra...were they the only guests? Oh man, I hope this relationship doesn't blow up before it really gets started. Well, you would be proud of me...I rode last night, only for 20 minutes, but at least I did it! I plan on doing some more riding today, before I go over to my daughter's and watch my grandson, so they can go out to dinner.
Plus I have cleaning to do, so that should help.
Take care all and have a Happy New Year!

I didn't ride last night :-(. We invited friends over for dinner at the last minute, so at least there was a fun reason I didn't get on.

I made them watch Suzy and Matt with me on Larry King. Not a lot of juicy gossip. They just said that it is very new and they are just "dating". She said that she is exclusive to him, but he said he had other prospects. That bothered her. It wasn't clear if he was kidding or not. She said "he better be kidding". I don't think he was!

Hi! I completely forgot about the Larry King show last night. My grandma was taken to the hospital so I was there til Midnight and forgot to record it before I left. I didn't do any riding or walking yesterday but I will try to make up for it today. I don't want to get too far off track because if I skip a day, then I'll skip another and another and it will get ugly...lol. I don't know what today will bring yet as far as the hospital but I'm sure I won't be there 10 hours like yesterday so I should be able to get in at least 30 min. Let me know how the show was and if there is any juicy gossip...lol. Take Care!
