Well, due to the RNC being in town and my duties because of it, I have not been in the gym since Tuesday morning. Heck, I've barely been home due to working about 45 hrs from Tues through today. Just wondering if the monthly exercise challenges have fallen off completely.

Once I get back to normal, I will be able to get back into my routine. Hope everyone is doing well.

Btw, getting lots of walking in doing foot patrols, so I'm still getting some exercise in. Just not the "gym" type.

Every time they do a BL Couples or Family show, I've been tempted to do a tape for me and DD so we could do the show together - I'd want Jillian as my trainer, cause she's such a drill sergeant:wub:

The opportunity to have band surgery took that off the table - now I watch the show for inspiration and to see some of what they do in their workouts. They do a AWFUL lot of aerobics - more than I have time for - but they are inspirational because I also haven't seen them need plastic surgery afterwards...

All that butt-kicking activity must help them with the loose skin issues...plus, I think they are younger than I am...

Day off at the gym yesterday, but I did get my walks in. No gym tonight - have a work-related social activity, but I'll walk at lunchtime and again tomorrow. I'll be back in the gym tomorrow and will post the soreness-inducing results here (or in the October exercise challenge thread, when I find it) :cool2:

I wanted to submit me and DH too - like you LB thew that out the window. They lose so much weight so quickly...I can't imagine the emotional affects it has. We lose slowly - and I know at times mentally there is an adjustment for me. My hormones get out of wack and my mind has to catch up with my body. I still think I should shop in the women's section...Imagine losing 80 pounds in two-three months....wow!
