Seeking Exercise Buddy(s)
posted 17th Mar '07
{{ironic voice}} So, is a-n-y-one out there taking more than 3 steps away from their computer?
Anybody else want a little friendly motivation? This is not just for people local to me! I'll "buddy" with people in Iceland if they want too!!
...helllloooooooo
Okay, the weather's starting to get really nice down here! Just went on my second walk of the week, at it was awesome!
Need a buddy (or buddies) to help me stay motivated! Doesn't matter what you do (walking, swimming, gym, running around a playground chasing kids, whatever), I'm ready to cheer you on if you're gonna cheer me on too!!
We can either keep this thread going, or pm each other, up to you: I'm game for ANYTHING!
fyi (if it matters): I'm due in August.

i think its great that you're getting out there!!! i dont really do much but sit around latley....i go for my daily walk to help out with the labor, but thats it for now. i can't wait until after the baby is born, because then i'm going to join this stroller babies thing where new moms get together like twice a week and go for a nice long walk!!

All right, ladies! Nice to hear from some of u
Okay, I walked on Sunday - 20 minutes. But haven't since because of work and -believe it or not - RAIN. I feel amazingly good, though, after just a few days of walking, it's really gotten rid of the "winter blues" I was in.
It's all supposed to clear by tomorrow, so I'll be out there again. Don't worry if you are far away, I'll cheer you on anyway. This is not meant to be a "locals-only" thing

Hi joyful
I'm 21 weeks today (YEA, halfway through!!! I feel like having a, "Halfway Night" party like my hubby said they would have on his submarines, only maybe with less duct-tape !!!)
Grrr, it's still raining, though. I'm gonna wait to see if it clears up this pm so I can walk.
Wish me sunshine
