Dee, LOL I am amazed you work with several people from Douglass considering it is such a tiny town. Like 2000.

Pretty rare I venture in to Wichita. My husband does daily for work but I am a SAHM so not much reason to leave except for a weekend trip to Derby to grocery shop. If I could find a work out buddy here it would be too awesome but will not hold my breath. Hubby stopped when it got cold. OK, so did I, hee hee.

Also several people from work are doing a exercise support group. Some days we will go to the NE YMCA together, other days we will exercise on our own and report our activities to the group. Are you interested in something like this?

Dee


We own a house down by Lincoln and Rock but we live on 29th between Rock and Woodlawn

I am not currently a member of the YMCA because I work at WSU I get discounted fitness access to Heskett Center, but it might be something to look into

Do you have someone to be accountable to for an exercise regiment? I used to teach part time at WSU, but since I am working toooo much overtime at Spirit, I gave up teaching. I can't even think of any of my friends who still teach... kinda sad isn't it!

Amanda, I can understand wanting a exercise partner. Do you have somewhere near you where you can exercise or do you have a home gym? Maybe I should ask what you do for exercise.

Dee


No I don't have a partner. I do have a treadmill and a total gym that rarely get used. Mostly I do tia chi every morning and then I charge up the mp3 players, grab some leashes, and my two daughters and we walk the dogs 4 or 5 times a week. My 11 year old loves it but my 7 year old complains the whole time! But when it gets real windy and cold (Kansas has the coldest wind Brrrrrrrr), I use the treadmill when the weather is bad. I have noticed the weight comes off quicker and I feel better if I add resistance like weights or total gym to my weekly workouts, but get lazy and don't do it!

You all are making me homesick! I grew up east of Wellington in a small town. When I got married, my husband and I lived in the apartments at Rock Road and ...Edgewood, Edgemoor? Geez, never thought I'd forget! It was the Conquistador apts. at that time. Then we bought a small house two blocks east of Southeast High School on Pineridge. We moved to Nebraska 18 years ago but I'm still a Kansan!
I went to WSU and worked in one of the offices there. I loved the Heskett Center, spent a lot of hours there.

I have a nephew that works at Spirit.

My hometown competed with Douglas in sports, music, etc.

I still have family in the Wellington thru Winfield areas. I'm really homesick now!
