Allies Exercising Around the World - Countdown to 2011!!

Welcome to
Allies Exercising Around the World - December!
With the added bonus
In My Skinny Jeans by the New Year Mini Challenge!

Welcome to November! We have just 2 months left in 2010, let's give it our all and get into the best shape of our lives!

We welcome anyone who wants to join us as we continue our quest to exercise regularly and log enough exercise miles to travel around the world.

Here's how we do it: We are committed to eating right (whatever our LC plan), exercising, drinking our water, and working on our self-esteem and body image. To get from one location to another, we're logging our exercise miles like this:

whether you go to the gym, take exercise classes, work out at home, walk vigorously or bike ride outside, or do whatever gets you moving -- 10 minutes = 1 mile. Or you can post your actual mileage per the treadmill, bike, elliptical, etc. For example, if I take a 60 minute class, that equals 6 miles. If I also do the elliptical and the control panel shows 2 miles, I've done a total workout of 8 miles. We just add our miles to the last person's. It's easy to get the hang of it. You'll see below and with our subsequent posts.

**We have 4 weeks left of 2010, let's kick things into high gear and arrive at New Year's Eve in our skinny jeans!**


Please add this to your signature to show your commitment:

Thanks Maryam! I can't believe we slipped into December and I didn't notice!

Cindy What classes this week? Some zumba perhaps? Thanks for the Reiki info. I am looking into some alternative treatments for my back.

I have only walking miles. I am not sure when I will get back to my kb. At least I am walking! The glass is half full!

Dr called me regarding my thyroid ultrasound. I have nodule that needs a biopsy. I have an appointment mid January. I am reeling.

Weird but true...2 days ago, I decided that I would be grateful for everything absolutely everything in life, because sometimes seemingly bad stuff turns out to be good.

I was actually thinking about this really REALLY weird couple I served that night (did I mention they were strange?) and they left me a gargantuan tip. A reminder to me that everything is not always as it seems and kindness, politeness, and gratitude are the way to go at all times and in all situations. No matter what. I didn't think I would be thinking of it in this larger context, but there you go.

So here I am attempting gratitude. I'm grateful I got a doctor and one who was thorough. I am grateful that if it is cancer, it's very treatable.

Ladies I will check in when I can, but I need a few days to get myself together and process this info.

Hey, Sandy, reading these posts was a bit of shock. You have a wonderful attitude though, I am such a believer in being grateful and sending out positive vibes. I love reading The Secret now and again to remind me of this. Sending big hugs.

I did the Zumba class and a friend I haven't seen for a while said I was looker slimmer.

I forgot to add my Tuesdays miles too. So....

Sandy - Allah tells us in holy Quran - It may be that you hate a thing but great good come from it! I try to remember this always in my life. that the biopsy will be negative. Drama accepted for one day - now move on.

No miles for me but planning to get right back to my workouts as soon as I get home! Gotta get off my behind and get serious!

Kissa - compliments are always such an ego boost!

Hi Gang,

Welcome Miss Size10!

I have some miles to add (just walking).
I am actually feeling pretty positive to tell the truth. I am learning a lot about the thyroid, odd little gland that it is. So no need to worry about me ladies. Think a good thought for me now and then. I am fine!

I am not stressing about workouts just now, walking is ok for now.

Cindy and Maryam hope you are getting closer to your skinny jeans!

Hi ladies, I am delighted to hear that you are still feeling positive Sandy. Yes, the thyroid is a strange little organ isn't it? All knowledge is good and we are sending you positive vibes all the time.

Miss, as a 'Junior' member I am not sure if you can add anything to your signature yet, after 70 or so posts you become a 'senior' member and can then add things to your siggie.

The Allies have been going for years and our aim is complete a circuit of the globe. We do this is module of between 2 and 3 hundred miles steps between designated cities. It is all fairly random and if you read the first post on this thread it will tell you how we 'count' our miles. Basically 6 miles per hour of reasonably intense exercise, or mile by mile if walking. As you can see we have become real friends as well as on line buddies.

I did a Zumba class today, so 6 miles for me.

Missie, try this.

Click on User Control Panel, select Signature, add your chosen signature, (you can copy and past our Allies one) and see how it goes. You may be able to do it now, I am not really certain.

Sandy - So good to hear you are feeling positive! You are always in my . I keep forgetting to weigh so I'm not sure I'm getting any closer to my skinny jeans! I must remember to weigh!

Kissa - heard you all are getting pounded again weather-wise! I'm actually wearing a sweater to work in the morning now!

Miss.Size10 - You should be able to customize your signature following Kissa's advise! No one is assigned a country/goal/distance. We decided in the beginning to keep from getting discouraged, we would decide on a goal (city) and then break down the distance into several smaller "pit stops". When we start getting close to goal city, I just go on my google maps and decide what the next goal city will be and then break down the distance into several stops. Then each of us just adds miles according to the exercise we have done that day. Just copy and paste Miles Section from the previous post and add your mile! We are currently headed to visit yours truly in Abu Dhabi!

JM- No More Trouble Zones yesterday. VERY, VERY clean eating!

MissSize10 We basically count 10 minutes of exercise (cardio, weights, whatever) as 1 mile. I have a pedometer for work, since I do a lot of walking at work and count actual miles for that.

Just cut and paste and adjust the miles. Join us in crossing the world!

Cindy Nice job with Body Attack and Zumba.

Maryam WTG on the eating. Is your eldest ds still visiting?

I have work miles to add. I got a call yesterday morning that I could get my biopsy done within 2 hours if I could make it to the clinic as there was a cancellation. It's done! I may have the results before Christmas.

Whew, at least that part is over

Good Morning! JM-No More Trouble Zones yesterday. Ate super clean. But of course, got up this morning, got ready for work and when I was walking out the door I realized I had forgotten to weigh in! Insha'allah I will remember tomorrow.

Kissa - How is the weather? I hear Heathrow is having quite an awful time!

Sandy - Did you get your results yet?

We are in Devon at the moment and were hoping to travel back to London today, but a snowfall overnight has put paid to that. We are unable to get out of our little street and currently even the main routes are virtually impassable.

Heathrow is just about open but very few flights and many other airports are closed.

Where my DD lives it is -10 today. Not good.

Decided I needed a change yesterday so I did Step Reebok after work. Ate very clean. Trousers feel a bit today so that tells me I really need to get serious!

Kissa - so sorry you're snowed in and freezing! Maybe you can break out your old jazzercise videos!

Sandy - Check in when you can

Got my results. It's a cyst, which needs no further treatment. My labs indicate I am in the normal range for all other thyroid problems. We will retest next year.

So relieved. Did you hear my exhale over in UAE Maryam?

Cindy Crazy weather!! You may have a white Christmas!
Maryam How is your testing going?

I have only walking miles. My dh is starting a new job and it looks like we may be working opposite hours, so I may have to go it alone with my workouts, but that's ok.

Step Reebok after work yesterday. Then had to see the dr about the fibroid. She gave me a referral to Khalifa Hospital to have Uterine Fibroid Embolization. I have to call today and try to get an appointment! FINALLY getting somewhere!

My ds leaves Monday! Where did the month go???? I'm planning to do 6 week Cure from the beginning starting New Years Day! I have to get serious and get the rest of this weight off!

Sandy - I wondered what that sound was! So happy and relieved for you!

Kissa - Heard on the news that you are getting MORE severe weather! that you are staying warm, safe and having Happy Holidays!

Sounds like things are finally happening. that things move along quickly and you can put this in your past. I noticed you stopped by the ShoutOut thread.

I would like to say I am so grateful for the Allies! You, Cindy, Jillian (still miss you!), SunnyBeach (where'd you go?) most of all. So much encouragement, positivity, support, and fun here!!

Cindy I hope the weather isn't causing problems for you. Maybe it comes from living with snow, but sometimes a storm or a stretch of bad weather can be fun (sounds weird I know!), kind of cozy... a time to snuggle, spend time with family, friends, or neighbours. It can be a kind of odd bonding experience with people. Stay warm!

Hope everyone had super great holiday!

JM - No More Trouble Zones yesterday.

Dropped ds to the airport this morning. So sad to see him go. Insha'allah we will all be together again next summer! The kids and I made him a big tin of gingerbread cookies - the kids had so much decorating them - to take back with him. Well, he ate them all and has nothing left to take back! We told him we will be making more and sending them to him!

Hospital called. I go in Tuesday Jan. 4th to have a procedure called Uterine Fibroid Embolization. Insha'allah that will be then of the firbroid problem and I can get on with things!

Sandy - I, too am so grateful for the Allies - you, Jillian and Cindy most especially!

Kissa - I saw on FB that you managed to make it to London for your family holiday get together. I know you had a lovely time!
