Monday, Oct 17. 15 minutes elliptical (really kicked my behind. I burned more calories than I usually do with 25 minutes on the treadmill!). Then 40 minutes of weights and floor exercises.

Feels good!

Hope you all have a fantastic week. :-)

Amy (sanot) and Sheri, got you added! If you've checked in, you have a button - I'll update the chart once a day, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the evening, depending on how early I go to bed:)

Sweet! Thanks! I've been getting in a workout almost every day since our last challenge ended. It's fun to come here after a successful day and check in and see what y'all are up to. I'm proud of each and every one of you for doing this!

[Cheri T]

Chest, Shoulders and Triceps done - about 54 minutes. I'll do Ab Ripper X later this afternoon/evening. Too much to do all at once physically and time-wise! I know I can do better on the ab moves if I'm fresher anyway.
We're off to a great start! I'm happily filling in buttons for those of us who are done for today:)

[Sara Arell]

Yay, ME! I got in an extra two mile walk this afternoon with Christopher's girlfriend! Boy, can she move fast!

[podiumchick]

Monday done--Lean Circuit 1. I took two weeks off of this and it is kicking me in the tush! I plan to do the elliptical during my DD's swim practice tonight. If I do, I'll bank it for later...

So I have to share with you all. Today while I was checking out at the store I get a phone call, it's my son wanting to know if when I get home I want to ride bikes around Watkins Mill. This is about a 4mile trail with alot of hills in it (some pretty steep) of course I said "sure" and hung up. Immediately I started getting this sick feeling and by the time I hit the parking lot I had called my husband to tell him to go ahead without me, that I had alot of work to finish and didn't have enough time. See, the last time we tried this (with me...dad does it with the boys alot) I probably didn't make it 1/2 mile and had to turn around and walk back...so that still sticks in my mind.

On the way home I felt guilty, and when I got back they hadn't left yet. I looked at Justin and asked him if he really wanted me to go and he said yes, so I went. I made it around the whole thing this time, with no stops. It took us about 35min so we were moving at a pretty good pace. Of course my legs are killing me now...and my bike is really not the type for this type of riding. It's more of a cruiser bike, and I really need a good one for that location. But I made it..yeah!!

GOOD for you Angie!! You did it!! Woot!!

Catching up on my reading--
Lei, I hope you feel better soon!
Angie, WTG!
Tiza, I've taken several days off because the week was busy. Ready to start fresh tomorrow!

This morning at church I was asked by a friend if I had lost weight. Happy Dance time!

Ready for the next round tomorrow!

What a great feeling that is, Kim! Good for you!!

Yay Kim! Happy dance for sure!

Monday is DONE! I went on a brisk 20 minute walk this morning. I wasn't feeling so well when I went to bed last night with a cough which caused my chest to hurt. Didn't think huffing and puffing on my bike in the cool morning air was the best idea. *sigh*

Monday, Oct 17 - Nothing. I was feeling ill all day, and just couldn't get motivated to get moving. Not a great start, I know.

[PBarnes]

Monday, Oct. 17 - 30 minute Foundation workout. Tomorrow I get to start the Upper Body & Abs workout.

[Becster]

Back in the game with 20 minutes on the stationary bike. (Monday, 10/17)

[Smiles]

I did a 20 minute brisk walk with Sandi this morning, followed by a healthy lunch. It's so good to meet with a Scrap Girl IRL!

Then I did 25 minutes on the exercise bike after dinner.

OK, I just found out I am having foot surgery on Nov 4 (it was originally scheduled for Dec 1). Anyone have any ideas for upper body workouts I can do while I'm recovering? Remember, my purpose is to control my blood sugar.
Thanks!

Ooo! Ooo, I do, Gayle. When I had foot surgery, I was on crutches for six weeks. Crutches and I didn't get along very well so I spent a lot of time in my recliner. I was concerned about putting on weight so I got a couple of "chair aerobics" DVDs (or they might have been video tapes.) They were really good work outs. I actually was able to lose some weight during my convalescence both from the exercise and the fact that I wasn't getting up to get snacks all the time. I think the person's name was Jodi Stolove but I just searched on Amazon and there are quite a few different ones available. Search on "Seated aerobics", "chair aerobics", "chair dancing" or her name. I think the ones I have are the chair dancing ones but I couldn't put my hands on them just now.

Why kind of surgery are you going to have?

Thank you, Pat! And I have time to track one down, too. I'm having repairs done to a "failed" (the surgeon's words) bunion repair performed by an Army Ortho resident 20+ years ago. Interesting after all these years to find out how badly he botched it.

I didnt do anything today either. The ankle I twisted this morning is still sore when I walk on it, so I didn't want to attempt anything cardio.

[SarahBat]

10/17 ~ I did an abs work out with Jullian today.

[SandiC.]

Monday 10/17 - done!

early morning....10 minutes Project You. late morning 20 minute walk with Gayle (photo to follow soon), tonight 20 minutes Qi Gung flow. And....drumroll please.....I am 278 calories under my limit today. Its good to be back on track and I'm so enjoying reading what everyone is doing.

[Cheri T]

Chart is updated as of Sandi's post - awesome first day girls! And I'm guessing one or two more will post yet tonight (hi west coasters!), but I'm hitting the Midwest sack here now and am off in the morning before I may have a chance to do the chart then.

[jorunswithscissors]

FFood-wise, I did pretty well. Exercise consisted of walking my dog around 2 blocks -- but we went really slow paced. I think in order to get more benefit : I will take my Skippy on 2 walks. One fast paced (Skippy could use a little exercise too ) & another leisurely walk - because Skippy enjoys his time sniffing.

[Bride]

Well here it is, after midnight and I'm up (after going to bed at 9:30 pm!!) coughing my head off. I'm glad for the results of coughing, clearing things out, but it does not feel good and I'm TIRED! I did not get in the walks I hoped to for Monday so I'll have to make up the difference this Sunday. I'm heading back to bed here soon and hoping I'll feel better enough in the morning so I can get some exercise done for Tues. Oh, I did do well with eating choices today!!

[April Showers]

It is still Monday here. And I finished up a Burn Circuit with Chalean a few minutes ago.

[AngRoCamp]

Monday 10/17 done. A little lame because I had to break it up into chunks today but I got 'er done.

[Sara Arell]

18 October - Tuesday

Well, I was up at 3:30 am and I sat for a long time - finally figured I may as well get my bike ride in.........groan......it was a real struggle this morning, but I did 25 minutes.

Dental appointment this morning and busy day ahead so that may very well be all I get in today.

[sanot]

Tuesday done. Hubby even crawled out of bed this AM to exercise with me! Level 3 30 Day Shred....

[SodScrap]

Tuesday is done. BL 20 minutes sculpting, 20 minutes cardio...with BOB......

[sarabethp]

Checking in for monday 10/17 squeezed a Pilates workout in-between all the craziness yesterday. I'm just glad I've started in a good place.
