Last Day of The Month....

Today is exam day. I have learned a lot in 4 days. I am glad that I am not in school everyday. Back to work tomorrow.{sigh}

I have not done any training the last couple days. Things just didn't work out where I could. I will today. I am so glad this month is Finally over.

Points yesterday 30
day before 26

No training.

The scanner is not behaving right now so I can not scan in the other Team Voice logo.{grrrr}

I don't have access to a pool. so I was thinking,Maybe we can head to the beach once a week and I can do water running that way. Kids will love to go. I will figure it out.

I will post those who completed the challenge for January tomorrow.

That's it for today short and sweet.

Update:
We got in an extra 1.80 for the month at 27;48 :33.
Total for the month : 48.81 miles

I did not have to slow down for any of this, I was nearly at a real slow jog!!!! :)

Study ,Train,Study

Class went well. It got boring towards the end. It was like a refresher class. Some have never work in a hospital or medical environment. It was kinda funny. I know its not but it's a dummy,you are not going to hurt it. :)

I worked out yesterday in the gym for 2 hours. I feel it today. Since I must study,I won't be in the gym today but outside doing my 3.5 miles.
training:
precor intervals,Up the resistance,30 minutes,2.14 miles,cal. 345,H.R. 125-139.
star trac elite, 20 minutes,alpine pass,level 6,.52 mile,cal. 140, it's more an upper body work out.
Machines:
inner,outer combo,60 lbs x60
ab.curl,90 lbs x80
abdominal, 35 lbs, 4 sets of 20,2 long, 2 short
bi curl, 17.5 lbs.,x 40{weak point}
tricep ext.,30 lbs. x40
incline chest press,10 lbs,3 x10{ very weak}
back ext., 90 lbs.,x 70

My sports medicine doctor said less weight more reps.Specially the arms. Some of the motion I use a lot at work some I do not and I can tell.He also does not want me to go over 100 pounds on the legs yet.He also said no running.I can work up to the pace speed walking to keep my time in the 2 hour range. I am to young for new knees then I can't do any of this if I have hardware. :( I told him I would train in a chair.:) {i am hard headed} Burn more fat first.{rolling eyes} I have some weak points there too I have to work on. Next month I go to my regular doctor and take in all my readings from the garmin and that way they can keep track of the heart. My heart is healthy, no worries.She just wants to make sure I am not over doing it.

We all are doing this without the aid of medicine,or surgery.I see the people come in and have the surgery for the by pass. It is not the easy way out. Nope. I tell our story to them when I am at work and I give them a card. :)

Mgreene, I want to say thank you for all the advice,and the offer. I am going to try. Do you think you could make it down to the half??? That would be awesome. Anything else I could do????

I start a class tonight,And as normal work calls and wants me to come in. Not on the first day of class.When I ask for it I can't get it,but when I need to be off they want me at work. :(

This month has seemed like it has lasted way longer than normal.I am in a hurry to get on with the rest of this year. :)

Team Voice news. I was asked to retell the story of Team Voice over in the Disney World Trivia forums,and maybe offer out to have everyone sponsor a runner in the half next year. Since all the money raised is going to the Dream Team. Ideas???

The shirts for Team Voice E wants to make them out of the material that the work out shirts are made of.I will also put it out there on cafe press.

This is where the idea for the color came from.Look at all the cones!!!!! hahaha


Keep Moving Forward!!!!

!@*&?!@!!

Good Sunday morning!

Yesterday was a pretty good day.Other than having to go food shopping.I hate dealing with the general public.Here they are so rude. We were not hurrying,since the store was packed. Everyone else was rushing around and grabbing whatever.Not looking at what they were selecting for choices. And the rather extreme pooh size were out. I was watching a couple of them since they were not rushing and just seeing what they were choosing. So as we were all in one row kinda looking at the same thing.I looked at E and said this product has hidden ingredients,and MSG,and this will cause high blood pressure and stuff like that, They were listening. They were listening so well that they put that crap back and chose the better product. After that I noticed that it caused them to look at the ingredients. The power of suggestion. :)

After we got home we did something different than we normally do. We prepped all the meals. We separated everything, and if we had planned to marrinate it we did it. And weighed the serving out,so it will make tracking the points much easier.

Now Team Voice news. First I have to say this .....
Someone has been on the forums over at AATM and posted and commented with x rated pictures this morning. In No Way is This related to Team Voice. That is not our views,or thoughts. Someone is trying to bring down our family fun forums and Team Voice.

This is a rough draft of the Logo.It is photo shop being cleaned up .
This is going to be the basic logo. The one for the race shirts will have the 09 up on top.The 0 will be on the left top and the 9 will be on the right top. Road cone orange shirts and reflective lettering. Under the logo for the front of the shirt it will say Many Goals One Voice. And then for the back it will be the logo and it will say Friends and Family of Marathon Team and have everyone's logo's under that. Well what do you think??? For the Minnie I am going to have a big heart behind the logo, and names of everyone I know that is suffering from heart disease on the back. If you have a name you want to add to my shirt let me know, I will add it.

Meal points yesterday was 26.
No training yesterday I has a house full of teenage girls and they were not going to sweat. I will sweat today.
MGreene, E said All I have to do is shave off a half hour and I will meet your one time you listed. Then E asked me how bad do I want it??? That made me think.I will try real hard. I like a good challenge. :)

I am Back !!!!!

I know I haven't been blogging a lot lately.I have been busy with work,and kids. I will be taking a class next week as well.

Minnie Marathon weekend.They are running specials for those of us who are running in the race with the all stars resorts. Must call magical gatherings to get the rates. The 5k in for Go red,heart disease. And the 15k is women's awareness. It's all for the American hear assoc. It holds a close place in my heart since enlarged hearts run in my family.My Mom has CHF, and so does someone else I know and I hope all is well. I am making our shirts with the Team Voice Logo on it.In Red. Then I am going to put the names of those dear to me that have a heart disease,and those who have left us do to heart disease. I got my Mother to come to this!!! She will get to see us in the races!!! I can't wait to go!!! I am the only person in my entire family to do any of this.That is why it is so important to do the half and then do the Goofy.And get faster.Did you know if you finish in the top three of you age group you get invited back to run??Yes that means you do not pay the dues.

I know I am very late on posting the logo. I had to wipe the computer clean so there is no logo in the computer right now.E has to put it back in and then I can up load it. That is why I have not been on the Internet. Now that the problems have been solved I promise to get it up.

Points for yesterday was 30.
exercise I did the precor for 30 minutes and did the intervals and I did 2.07 miles and finally got my heart rate up to 132.I had to increase my Resistance some. I haven't been very consistant with the weights. My miles are up to 42.84 for the month.

Ok today is Friday and I am posting my weight.Here it is 210 pounds.
DO you know that is a total of Ten Pounds for one month!!!!!!!
I have never lost that much in one month. I guess with the Team Voice support is helping!!!! I took a picture of me at the beginning of Jan. Then I will do it again in Feb. Tomorrow we will be taking pictures of us in the gym. So you can see us and what we are using.

Team Voice,Many Goals,One Voice.
