SWEETY - Hooray! You made it to your goal! I knew you would! I wanted to root you on when you said you might not make it, but feared it would make you feel "under the gun". I'm so glad you did it! ALL - Congrats to everyone here for participating! Whether you made goal or not, the point is that you got moving! Hats off! And here comes October! Whew! Kind of feels like the movie "Groundhog Day", doesn't it? LOL Thanks to MM for keeping up with us crazy folks!

Monthly Total = 2400 Minutes 40 minutes weight lifting lower body/back/abs 35 minutes recumbent bike interval hill trainer level 10 Today was a great workout! I couldn't get to two of the weight machines I use because it was so busy, so that part was a little shorter. However, I got right back on track with my cardio after tanking in the middle of it yesterday. I was really disappointed in myself, I must say. I am really starting to feel very strong, and that is an amazing feeling! And my shoulders are looking FANTASTIC! LOL No more pudgy roundness to them...getting very toned. (Those evening gowns are going to look amazing when I go to Vegas in November!) This is starting to pay off and it makes me want to work even harder, so I am going to double my weight lifting workout. I'm up to the optimal time for cardio, so it is just a matter of gradually increasing the resistance to build up. Folks, I cannot tell you how glad I am that I pushed through those first few weeks of HATING working out. It's true what they say...push through that and one day you will wake up and NEED to go...it's addicting. I love it! I never would have done it without you guys and this challenge...THANK YOU!

Monthly Total = 2325 Minutes 45 minutes weight lifting upper body/abs 20 minutes recumbent bike interval hill trainer level 10 I just couldn't get through my workout today, and quit my cardio right in the middle. I don't know why I am so tired today. Probably kid stress...teenagers, ugh...making me crazy!

Wow, Suzzie! Eight pounds gone! That is great! Hey, your penguin thing reminded me. Here's a pic you can save to your computer and use as your avatar, if you want. I always loved this one! Then there is this one...cute, too! .

I'm trying to stay away from the gym today. Very hard. I want to go BAD, but I know I need to give my muscles a day off to rebuild because I am sore. (Especially my abs and thighs.) Maybe I'll just use my resistance bands and dumbells at home today for my arms. They aren't too sore. We'll see how the day progresses!

Welcome, MissDarlene! Good luck on your goal!

OMG! I just realized you are at 200! How exciting! You will be (or maybe you already are) in ONE-derland for good! I'm so jealous!

I know what you mean. I could not survive my workouts without mine. It's my workout "Calgon"...it "takes me away"! Before I know it, my cardio is over with.

OMG! I can't believe I forgot to share this! I DID *240* CRUNCHES TODAY! WOO-HOO! The gym has a roman chair (I just learned that term today LOL) and it allows you to do crunches without killing your neck and lower back on the floor and you can do them from the front, back and each side. I did three sets of twenty in each of the four ways. SO PROUD OF MYSELF!
