Go! Go!
The excuses are over. My knee has healed enough so that I'm not cringing in pain everytime I take a step.
I'm out the door for a 30 minute run/walk, with all three kids and the dog in tow. And then, for my next trick, another attempt on the 50 pushups. This could get really, really ugly. Or, you know, my butt could become magically pert and my stomach could recede into the boundries established by my pants. Instantly! Yes! That sounds like a good plan!
Gah. Lacing up my shoes now. Get out there this morning and get a burst of endorphiny goodness. We've got a long summer to get through. Might as well have some natural uppers floating around in our systems. Go do it, and report in. I want to know how you all are doing!
Also, my dinners are all out of order this week because I ordered my groceries from Safeway.com, whom I adore, but your shopping is actually done by courtesy clerks, so you are at their whim as to what actually gets delivered. They usually do great, and hey, if I have to make a quick trip out to the store to get a few things they couldn't find, no biggie.
But this week, they were out of tortillas, apparently. And salmon. And yellow rice. And other things that I sort of needed. Alas. I need to suck it up and get to the store.

Delivery groceries!!! Where do you live that such a luxury is presented to you? Do they charge extra?
Gosh, when I think about having my groceries delivered instead of taking my children to the grocery store I get the chills.

I totally am with you on the online grocery thing. (I wish I could say I was also with you on the running thing, but, ahem, I'm still in bed with my wee laptop.)
I ordered online last week for this week's dinners and there was something VITAL missing for every dinner! Every one. SO annoyed. Especially because then I ended up buying candy and magazines when I went in. ;)

I love, love, love ordering groceries. Mostly, I love that they carry them in and put them on my kitchen table. I love that part!
I'm still riding my exercise bike--45 minutes a night. Boring, but effective, when one is stuck at home.

grocery delivery sounds like pure bliss.. i am sooo jealous. i wouldn't care if they forgot half the stinkin order just to avoid that hole. jumping into your weightloss issue, i have rejoined the gym and have been going faithfully for a month now. with vacations i don't see much difference, because i have been eating well. but i am determined, if nothing else.

Hey! This is way out of context cuz you posted those bruschettas like a month ago? But! They ROCK!! I sent my DH to get one tomato, and he came back with 6 monster sized ones, so I've been eating fresh salsa and that yummy bruschetta. To. Die. For.
Oh yeah, I'm jumping on the bandwagon with you. I walked 2 miles on Monday, and 1 mile pushing a kid in a stroller on Tuesday (so that really counts as what? 4 miles?). Next week, I'll go for 3 days. I finished off the ice cream pint on Sunday just because I didn't want to waste it, but now it's not calling my name from the freezer! It's just tattooed on my hips instead!
