Oh I forgot to tell you - I stopped out at Prime Outlets this past weekend - it was extremely hot but I had broken my sunglasses that I had bought at a similar outlet mall in St. Augustine Florida - so I thought I could just pop into the Sunglass Hut there and buy a new pair - NOT!! They didn't have any real bargain ones and I refuse to spend a lot on sunglasses because I break them. I looked at all the new stores out there but did not find anything - it was a bust. Now I remember why I don't shop there. The outlet in Johnson Creek seems to be better - why is that?? Probably because I am so close to Chicago and people from Chicago think they are getting such good deals up by me...those are not deals...LOL!!

One of these days I will be able to jog 2.5 miles. I need to get myself out there and work up to it. What an inspiration you are. Keep up the great work.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wasn't impressed by the outlet's offerings. I did have some luck at the BCBG outlet, but with their no returns policy, it wasn't worth driving all the way out there since I'm known to change my mind once I get home.

Thanks, Mike! That was nice of you to say

Queenie, you are doing great! :yourock:

I like the idea of getting physically fit at the same time as doing MF. They really seem to go hand in hand, don't they? Once you get over the hump of doing a workout you begin to look forward to it ... I know I do!

Keep it up, Queenie, you are such an inspiration! <img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/18/18_3_110.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D18%252F18_3_110/image.gif">

Thanks, Mary! You're right - I do look forward to working out most days. I especially look forward to going to Curves. I need to buy some gloves because I'm starting to get calluses on my hands. It's the jogging that takes a little more self-persuasion to do. I feel great about it once it's over, but after about 12 minutes in, I start wondering if I'm gonna make it the next 25 minutes. So far, so good.

I finally signed the lease for a new apartment. I don't remember being this indecisive before. It took me forever to settle on the place that I liked the first time I saw it because I kept thinking I could find something closer/cheaper. I couldn't. Now I just have to pack.

SuzyQ66 · by **SuzyQ66** » July 10th, 2007, 4:35 pm

Congrats on the new lease. Look at you - new body, new look, new exercise routine, new apartment.....all this new stuff. I'm so happy for you.

So tell me more about this. It sounds really cool, I may be up for something like that. Where did you get this? Do you have to belong to a gym?

Serendipity · by **Serendipity** » July 11th, 2007, 12:11 pm

Queen, I've gone as far as to print out the 9 week C25K instructions and post them right beside my treadmill. It might take me more than 9 weeks because it's been there for 2 so far and I haven't started......I want to, though. Does that count for anything?

I did walk to and from work yesterday for a total of 2 miles. There's somethin'.

Funny, that's where my C25K instructions are too; I believe they have been there for two weeks also. Te he. When I do start I guarantee you that it will take me more than 9 weeks.
