Rita's mom

Irish you are right, she would love to go. When I got her that was my plan. But like alot of things, I didn't follow through with my plan. Walking would be the best choice for me because I don't have a gym near me and would not feel comfortable going yet. I will try changing the intensity like you said and see how that goes. We live in the country and I know it sounds dumb but I feel more comfortable walking in town than out here. But I am just going to do it till I get over it! lol
Thanks for the info. :)

You mean two US contestants vs. two Europeans? - LOL! :lol:

I'm not so sure about bragging rights, though. Bragging makes one complacent which might mean that one loses track of one's goal. :)

I'm so glad I saw this. I really needed something to get me going. I am in a play the 3rd weekend in July and I need to lose as much weight as possible in the next 7 weeks. Woo hoo!!

thusnelda-- you and little roO will have to get and keep each other motivated, and pinsnink and i will be doing the same. of course, if you want to be complacent we don't mind winning... i see a beautiful piece of swiss cotton in my future and perhaps a lovely liberty print from england.. haven't heard you three say you want to do it, tho. ;)

Rita's mom, I understand about walking in town feeling safer, but remember blue dog's breed. Our herders were born to protect and yours has the strength to back it up if she's anything like my Texas Heeler (Heeler/Aussie) was. I was always glad Sasha liked me! I wouldn't have wanted to be her enemy. I tried the intense walking for 60 second intervals tonight. It's not hard because it's so temporary. Because it was dark out, I also did some marching. I don't want my neighbors to think I've lost it totally. Funny thing, I left tired from planting flowers and mowing all day and came back more invigorated. I did get a rest period. My teen age friend had another ball game tonight. It was rained out, but they got in enough innings for another win.

I'm really happy I saw this, too. I think it found it's way by accident into the main forum, that's why I saw it. It seems that it usually is in the chit-chat forum where I rarely venture for lack of time.

Thusnelda

No way! All these beauties will find their way to Europe. We will fight for them, won't we Little RoO? :lol:

I want to join, I was just told by my Dr. I have to lose some weight even if its just a little it is better than gaining more. I am hoping I can lose at least 5 pounds.
