Time to Get Serious!

(5/17: Edited to add - Mike was shewing me away with his hand b/c he didn't want his picture taken)

With our vacation to the Canaan Valley/Blackwater Falls Mountains just over 9 weeks away - Mike and I decided it was time to get serious about getting back in shape! We're going hiking, rock climbing, and white water rafting with our good friends, Dawnya and Neal. They hike and climb pretty regularly . . . Mike and I haven't done it in YEARS!! If we expect to keep up and have a blast with them . . . we have GOT to work our tail ends off now!!!

I started a while ago when I joined Curves, going 4-5 nights a week and Mike gets beat by the boys playing basketball several nights a week. We also sold our elliptical (that we both hated!) and bought a treadmill a few weeks ago. We're breaking it in pretty good by walking and jogging on it nightly. We've even wrapped the platform of it with thera-band so we can slip the laptop under it securely and watch the baseball games while we're working out (take a close look at the picture!!)!

We're on the right track. Now . . . if we could just eliminate the late night snacks we'd be all set!!!

Great job!! I recently rejoined the gym, too. Maybe we can both stick at it!! ;-) Can't wait to hear about your trip.
