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.

ya'll made me laugh just now reading - THANKS!!

today -

2mile bike warm up

50min trainer session - just had poor quality & quantity of calories beforehand and really felt weak. just when ya think your strong; ya get smacked down and your legs feel like they have 100lb weights..weighing you down.:thumbdown:

sorry about your friend ebony.

Monday and yesterday - 4 mile walk

I will be posting again tonight!!

Last night 20/20/20 class - 20 minutes of stepping/20 of aerobics/20 of toning. We then have a cool down/stretch - class is for one hour. Kicked my butt - which by the way cramped in the middle of it. I must say I've never had a butt cramp before. I had my stepper too high - took out some of the "steps" and it was much easier. I could barely walk this morning - yea! I'm happy cause I know I did something...

I did sleep in - I was so sore. 5:30 a.m. wasn't getting it this morning. I was scheduled for my run this morning...but I'm going to the gym when I get off work today and running then.

Closed out September strong...keeping it going in October!

Last night, I hit the weights for 1 solid hour - bench press, shoulder press, rowing, ab work, inner thigh, etc, etc, etc. That's on top of my usual walk at lunchtime and to the train station at night...

Today, my legs are crying "Uncle" but I walked the DDog with family this morning, just got back from a walk at lunch. No walk to train tonight - there's a lap band support group meeting here at work on campus, so I drove today...

Do we need to start a new thread for the October exercise challenge, or shall we just keep posting here?

Well Start a New One...I guess I'll start it :-)....look for it K...darnit I forgot it is 10/1.

the couch 5k thread was talking about it and i had to get out fast as i plan on watching tonight.....gripes??? love gripes:tongue:

I'll keep my mouth shut since you haven't seen it yet.

But I will say that now I'm not so convinced about Ali's win last year. Which makes me sad.

I'll also say that I hate the brown team.

Okay, that's it until tomorrow! I promise.

:ohmy: for real???? that would be bothersome as i really routed for her, and since i see her face just about EVERY day @ 24hrFit. they have posters of her all over the place.

oh and the brown team...didn't like them from the start. when the husband told the wife (don't know names) to clap, for those who won the slip slide race she rolled her eyes at him...then clapped. then i though he was an ass when discussing the vote......

Exactly! The clap thing bothered me, too. And last night they were laughing at a very bad time. They're rude -seeming, I know it is tv and maybe things are exaggerated. Who knows why, but they just bug me. I like Heba and husband (orange, I think), and the red team.

Heba started at the same weight as I was when I was banded, and I'm anxious to see how she looks as she slims down.

ok - VERY excited to watch this evening!! i have survivor tivo'd as well so i'm going into reality junkie ville' tonite.

Glou - you're not alone! I absolutely freakin' hate that Brown team this season...they are rude, not team players, etc, etc, etc.

I so want to post more, but don't want to ruin it for anyone - *going off to look for the Biggest Loser thread*

And by the way - what happened with Ali? She was my shero from last season - dish, dish!

I'll PM you...I don't want to ruin it, but I'd like feed back. DH was just rolling his eyes at my dismay over last night.
