Its a busy weekend for me Rockstars! I had 19 pet sits yesterday, 24 today and tomorrow and 15 on Monday! I am up to 6 miles today so far I'm hoping to beat my record for Memorial Day Weekend last year which was 9 miles in one day. I have several more dogs to walk tonight so I think I can do it!

Hope you all are having a great weekend!

GO PISTONS!

Good Job!!! I can see how the dog would slow you down a bit. I have had the opportunity to be alone when I've done my walking the past 2 days so that is why I've made such good time. My wife wants to go with me tomorrow, and being that she's about 5 inches shorter than me, I'm sure it'll take longer...smaller legs, more steps...and so on.

As for taking the bike to pickup dinner....good job on 2 accounts. One, exercise while picking up dinner, and Two, saving that gas. If Detroit is half as bas as Boston now then you are paying close to (and at some stations above) $4.00/gallon!!! It's CRAZY

Keep on Rockin' everybody!!!

the station down the road is at 4.19

Hey Rockstars!

First, let me apologize for being MIA this past week. I'm not allowed to surf the internet at work, and for some reason my internet hasn't been working at my apartment. I'm out of town right now for a wedding, and fortunately I have internet access here to write a post and submit my weekly weigh-in.

Good news: As of Saturday morning, I lost 2 pounds this week.

Bad news: I did REALLY bad at the wedding with my food intake. There was lots of good food, and I think I consumed enough appetizers, drinks, food, and cake for 3 people! But I plan to be back on track starting today. Actually, I feel rather ill from eating so much. I'm still learning....

Looks like Rockstars are doing great this week and getting lots of exercise. I'm so proud of everyone! Hopefully my internet will be working at my apartment again this week so that I can resume blogging and posting.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend and Happy Memorial Day!

Good Job on getting back on track Julie!!! You'll do fine, you are allowed a slip up every now and again.

I had a small slip up last night too. Although, I did it to myself. I went to dinner with my wife and parents and actually helped eat a piece of fresh baked cornbread (small piece, but still)...then I helped eat a Poato Skin with Cheese on it!!!! AND THEN....yeah I was kinda bad. I helped eat some Onion Rings. I will say this, I have not had any of that fried stuff like Potato Skins or Onion Rings for a very very long time. At LEAST since April 1st. And I didn't have too much.

All in all, it was a good food/working out week. I'm about to head out with my wife to do another outside walk cause it's so nice here today.

More later....

Keep on Rockin'

Don't beat yourself up for cheating at a wedding! Or any special occasion. Isn't that what their for? JUST REMEMBER MODERATION and unless your going to a wedding every week it shouldn't be a problem. It's been proven that if your so deprived on your "diet" that you feel miserable and are a social outcast you 1) wont stick to it and 2) are more likely to binge. I think a lot of people here are learning the appropriate use of food which are primarily to nourish our body and secondly to enrich our lives.
What's a birthday party without a piece of cake... key word there "A" as in 1 small serving... not all the leftover cake after the guests have left... or the cake your toddler just looked at and passed up... Ummm... not that I have EVER done that *blush*
Say happy healthy and active! Were gonna ROCK the weigh in today!!!!!
