hi!
no one can find the "time" to actully excersise.. i can't but somehow i do find some!!
Daryl.. You must know where kingwood is? Well that's where i go.. and you get motivaded by going.... well that's what happened with me!!
And, exercising makes you mor alert, more confident and for me, it helps me stay focused...
I guess that's it!

Chantale, you are so right.
If you try and find time to exercise, you will never find it. The secret is to make time.
I set aside 6am - 8.30am, that's what suits me, 6 days a week.
I have so many options here I never get bored.
Wet weather hikes are different to dry days.
I was excited this week to discover yet another wet weather hike sheltered from the southerly.
Climbing hills is the ultimate in loosing weight and keeping fit! Ask my dogs.

That's the trick!! Maybe I just need a dog!

My exercise program has fallen by the wayside lately, lack of time, although I get lots of exercise going to all my busy activities!

In addition, rollerblading came to a rapid end when fall hit and there were leaves and sticks all over the ground! Couldn't take the risk of serious injury!

Winter is here though and time to hit the streets walking. I love walking in winter - it is sooooo refreshing and beautiful..... Now if only I could get those skis done so I can get out on those.....

Stick to the exercise programs! I can vouch for the fact that they work! I lost some weight - and it was a good start.... I've even kept it off which is more important! I'd still like to lose more or just get into better shape, but I'm taking it one step at a time.... I just have to remember to do it!

Keep up the encouragement. Remember that sometimes someone needs to hear exactly what you have to say in encouragement and that will keep them on the right path! I need the humour dropped by DrD as well as the encouragement from the rest and I know I'm not alone in that!

Let's see 10,000 Km, that would be a nice trip. Plenty of exercise along the way. Let's see Dr D could pump the keyboard for a few reps (e-tickets - 101). Then Sara could roller blade the luggage down the people mover).

Daryl could row the glasses & ice down the isle. Andrew could push the peanuts(honey roasted of course). Ed would pop the tops(higher reps) of Ginger Beer ("Jamakian mon" of course). Then we all hum loudly at 30,000 ft "Fly the friendly skies...." Then as the Pacific sun rises we sing Hawaiian songs and hope the e-mail went through for the accomodations off the beaten path on the "big Island". No the "Big Island" is not Ed's tummy lint factory side up, floating in the Pacific. And Kilua Whai is not a giant lint fryer on over drive.

However anybody care to do the paperwork for a research grant to cross the western pond to go and research it to find out for sure.

Sarah, I was wondering why one of my dogs was loosing so much weight. The bones were really showing, yet he could still run up the hills after the rabbits.
I found out today that the cat mince I was mixing with the rice and veges didn't have enough fat in it. I thought wow, eating no fat and runing after rabbits 6 days a week must be the answer!
Now, I am not suggesting here that we eat cat mince! lol
So it's back to dog logs in the veges and he is looking better already!

Hello Sarah

I couldn't resist making a brief comment here.

This evening as we doled out a few cookies to our kids, for supper, our oldest boy (9 yrs.) got his first, and just before he took the first bite; he said: "Hey Dad! I am going to do my exercises now...This one is called 'The Cookie Stretch!'"

If you think your dog had trouble with rabbits because its bones were showing, just think about this story.

One day me and my houn' dog Zeke was out in the woods a-huntin' fer rabbits. We was a-runnin powerful short of meat that spring an' Zeke knew as well as I did that it was purty important we git one or we better not go home. We poked out all the briar patches and tromped through the wild plum thickets and was a-gitten purty discouraged cuz we hadn't seen hide ner hair of a rabbit yit. I set down clost by a saplin' fer to rest a spell, but Zeke wasn't tard yit, so he wandered on out into the woods and wuz gone so long I was wunderin' what become of him, when all at onct here come a rabbit licketysplit outa the thicket right towards me, and right behind him come Zeke jest a-tarn' up the airth behind 'im, he was a-runnin' so fast. The rabbit darted past me an' the saplin' an' tore for a briar patch about a hunnert feet away. Now I always knew Zeke was a mighty smart dawg an' I knew he'd figger out some way to gain on that rabbit before it got to the briar patch. Well, Zeke never took time to go around the saplin'; he hit it head on and at sech speed that the saplin' split that houn'-dawg clean in two, from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail. Right quick like I grabbed up the two halves and slapped them together again, only in my haste I got two legs up and two legs down. Well, that never hindered Zeke at all. He just kept on a-runnin', turnin' over and over like a cartwheel, an' he caught that rabbit jest two jumps short of the briar patch.

Zeke was half water spaniel and Irish setter. One day when I was a-fishin', my dog was sittin' by my side a-lookin' into the water. All at onest he dived into the crick and out of sight. I thought he was drowned. About fifteen minutes later I heard a dog barkin' a quarter mile down the crick and saw to my suprise there were ten catfish and eight bass that ole Zeke had treed.

And I don't even feed him cat mince!

Have a great day!

I'm not even going to pretend I believe that one!

Maybe I should try the cat mince! Not likely - I've smelled my cats food - sure wouldn't want to eat it! Maybe that is why they went vegetarian!
