YAAAYYYYYY Lizz~ Gimmie those tones arms!!! Awww man reminds me of our camping trips during the summer and going to Big Bear in the winter!!! This is a good work out!!! Believe it or not the fire place does burn out here in LA! LOL

 

Milly ~ in my other response I was going to say, as others have... you have got some killer legs!   Reminds me of the first time I saw Tina Turner perform and I was like... "Geez.  Gimmee those calves!"    The comment about my arms... I used to have some killer arms without even having to do anything.   Bill will occasionally tease me and say "What happened to that girl I knew with the really buff arms..."   Easy answer... AGE!

 

By the way, I don't remember the thread but the one that you posted a couple of pictures of you and your little one... beautiful photos Milly. 

Thanks Lizz & Tekel8 ----- I love pics so you know I'm gonna have some when I return from the cruise! YAAY~! But I see that you have GREAT arms!!! I think getting older is the best!!! You really take it all in and enjoy life more....less anxiety about petty things in life Well about the legs...ummmmm lets just say I ran most of my youth, teen and pre-adult life! LOL! But I hope my legs are as great as my moms' AND Tina's!!! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Rollin Rollin Rollin on a riiiivvva!! Do do do do do do do do do do!! (swing hair back and forth) LOL

You're not the only one who does the pole dancing aerobics. It was the only gym type aerobics that I found interesting and made me want to go back. It really does work out muscles you never even knew you had and it's SO much fun.

 ^_^  my boyfriend definately supports my decision to work out this way. Frankly, he wishes that he could take the class too, but it's a girls only type thing which makes him sad. SO i told him one day I'd get a pole and install it and teach him how to use it ^_^. I can't wait, but man are they expensive!

i've been doing the Master Cleanse Lemonade diet for the last 14 days. Hope to go at least 7 more days. Cruise is in 24 days! I did not weight myself when I first started so I don't know exactly how much I lost but I'd say at least 15-16 lbs, maybe more? It's meant more to rid your body of toxins but I did it to lose weight FAST. You do not eat at all. Just drink this lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper concoction. gotta look good in that 2 piece!

I've been doing weight watchers off and on all year and working out quite a bit more, (Zumba, running, walking, weights, pilates, etc.... no pole dancing but just because I can't find it anywhere)  but having that cruise countdown clock on my computer sure has me motivated.  I'm running a 5K this Saturday!  GO ME!!  lol  

I agree with the other posters that the cruise shouldn't be the only motivation.  But it sure helps!!

I went on a singles cruise 6 years ago, and I'm wearing the same formal dress that I wore then.  I'm just thrilled... It fits better than it did back then.  I am buying a new dress for the second formal night... I'm thinking something "slinky"??  Ha ha!

Go girls!!!

WOW congrats on the 5K. i've been wanting to try Zumba

Zumba is great!  It's easy and fun... you just keep moving!  The music is very "cruise-y" too!  I was doing it a couple days a week at my Gym, and then they went bankrupt and closed all of a sudden.  We've been transferred to another gym up the road... they only have one Zumba class per week, and their place is so small... so... I just zumba around my living room :-)

Hopefully, I'll be able to run the whole way Saturday... but even if I walk some of it, it will be a good workout!

I pole dance too!!!!  I swear, I never thought I would be able to climb up that pole and do crazy tricks like that.  It has been the best workout ever simply because you dont feel like youre working out at all.    It has also improved my coordination and self esteem.  The boyfriend of course is thrilled and has picked out my pole to install inhouse.  I cant wait.  My goal is to hit my goal weight by the time May 2010 rolls around for our third Carnival cruise.  I CANT WAIT~~~
