soooooooooooooo~~

starting the thread...let the challenge begin -

i'm working out 2 days a wk with trainer ^ 1 day conditioning with baylor ftball players *yeah they're cute...LOL* got a cardio goal in my head ; love whosya & ceradad for setting the bar~~

cheeers to all who join!!!

Today was 55 minutes on elliptical again. No lifting tonight, got softball.

As I mentioned yesterday, I did a 5 mile run on the treadmill in the morning. Problem was, I wasn't even thinking. I had legs workout last night. About halfway through the day, I realized my knees were a little sore and wasn't sure how the workout would go. Well, to my relief, it went great. Did everything I needed to do and didn't feel any worse for wear.

luluc-I keep forgetting to ask you, I see you live in the DFW area, you a Texan and a Cowboys fan?:thumbup:

hubby only WISHES i was a cowboy fan. was born & raised in NYC & a big Giant fan, rather World Champion NY Giants (LOL). i'm Texan by marriage:wink_smile: - i DO root for them most wks however, if they're playing NY - i can't & the spousal unit talks a lot of trash.

i think this will be the first yr in our marriage that we are NOT tailgating frying turkeys before the game on thanksgiving @ TX Stadium :frown:.....

LuLu,

Love the new avatar -- you're absolutely adorable, and look how tiny you are!!! All of your hard work is really paying off, sister! Congratulations :thumbup::thumbup:!

I'm still taking it slowly with the exercise, but will crank it back up again once I meet with my Dr. and get the all clear.

Off to Miami for a few days, will check back in next week.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Ok, I can give you that. I hate the Giants, but less so than the Iggles and Deadskins. Sorry to hear about your traditional Thanksgiving not happening this year. I made my first pilgramage, finally, to Texas Stadium last October to see them crush the hated Vi-queens. Had a great time tailgating down there.

As for me, yesterday was upper body and cardio. Had a great workout lifting followed up by 65 minutes on the elliptical and 12 minute run and 5 minute cooldown on treadmill.

Today, I have a wedding reception tonight, so I had to combine lower body and cardio today. Another very good leg workout followed by 55 minutes on elliptical.

I've been dragging arse the last wk/wk and a half. Been really run down. Then, Wednesday night was softball. I had a few barley beverages (ok, about 6 over 4 hrs) nad suddenly felt much better yesterday. Realized I have been cutting out the carbs trying to concentrate on the Proteins lately. The barley sodas gave me the carbs I was needing. Gonna make sure to get more carbs in each day now.

Who knew that something good could come from something considered bad?
