Let the blogging begin!

Finally I think I got it. Well well well...I plan to stay up to speed with my weight/health challenge.

Not sure if anyone knows, but P and I committed to running a race each month since the gate river run in march. We recently did a 5k in April and enjoyed it. We plan to do another on May 22. We are trying to stay fit for the 13.1 race in November. We plan to start our heavy training in September.

Check out the photos from our past three races.

I have already started the eating part. The exercise part is not hard at all...it's lowering my carbs that's a killer. Oh well, we'll see how it goes. Will write more later.

Love Lyn.

It's K-all the way!!!!
it took me so long to understand how this thing works...but after im coaching from Dylana...I'm here! Here goes..I started a food and fitness diary on Sunday..you know as a trial thing...gosh I'm glad I do not have to share that...but remember ladies it all starts May 1...so get your fingers ready! Oh! big news...I cut my hair really short..Halle Berry-ish...just know that the cut looks better on me!! LOL

Healthy

I am getting crazy waiting for this surgery to pass but I must allow myselft sufficient time to heal. The great thing will be that as soon as I am home from the hospital I can start walking and that will be doctor's orders. I am currently trying to eat my one bosc pear a day to keep myself regular and I am going to start tonight to go to bed at 10pm. I will be taking off a few days the week before my surgery in order to get my body the rest that it needs. Look out girls for as soon as I am healthy I will be doing my thing. D

Excited!!!

So I must say Im quite excited to embark on this "Morrison Women Challenge". Its always a great idea to have a buddy system going. I have started new and fresh this week, kicking the late night snacking habits and trying to eat on time. Things that I have made a point on working on is getting enough sleep everynight and making it a point to exercise 6 days out of the week. I have been slacking lately on the exercise department and I need to get back on track. I've been feeling lethargic this week so I've had to pull energy from within to motivate myself to go running. I know it aint gonna be easy but its doable. Thats all for today ladies....Good luck to you all!!! Love P

There is a first time for everything...

Last week Saturday my sis Karen challenged all of us Morrison women to keep fit. This is what she wrote ...

Hey y'all I'm in the Jewel...having coconut rum with coconut water on my back veranda (patio)...glad I got to spend time with Lyn, Mike, kids and Paola...she used to call me all day and was bex when ah no wahn talk to she....
Inspiration.....
Girls .....check the stats...@ 48 years old (yeah I know)..thanks for saying 'madas..she look good' wellI stand 5' 2" and weigh 139 lbs with 29.1 % or 40.5 lbs being fat...now that's the part that is not good....my goal is to lose 7.5 lbs of that fat...see I need remaining the 33 lbs of fat for my cheeks, batty, titi etc...in other words to keep looking good!
So my challenge is to lose 7.5 lbs of fat for the month of May...that's 2010! Also to slow down on the happy hours (lika-alcohol consumption)
Ineed your support, challenges, doubts..Lyn knows that I cannot allow her to be smaller than me (yes Dylana...she had that smug look on her face when we weighed at publix) I weighed 141 lbs and she weighed 134!I think that long trip yesterday helped me to lose 2 lbs or maybe it was feces (i did eat a lot at Lyn's ..lol)
Do any of you have any health improvement challenges? No matter how small...
D I know you are due for surgery soon but you can still eat well before and after....minor challenge for you!
Gil..you know your muscle strength is limited..soooo...do something bout it...
Imani..hmmm....chase those achy joints away..
P....just keep in shape and drop a little weight..Sitou no like maga gial.....so noh ova do it
Lyn...strength train more
Momma Elvs...keep on trekking anddo some repetitive weight training
you get my drift..I'm only suggesting....you can come with your own wellness challenge list and do not make it too long
Let's take pics of ourselves to start with and document our challenge
anyway it's on... lets do it..

Who will volunteer to put it all together (the documentary..that is) I nominate Dylana....
We do not have to live in the same place to make it work..we just have to do it!
Who knows we can end up on Ellen, The View, or 20/20...LOL....
We can each put our thoughts/day to day challengesdown...I just want us to all be healthy..we are the mighty, strong Morrison women
Now any ideas guys???? K
