Start of a new month and start of a new exercise challenge. How about getting some more new faces involved?

I started off things right. In the work gym @ 0440 for 33 minutes on treadmill, including 5k run in just under 29 minutes. Into the real gym tonight for upper body and a little more cardio.

LET'S GET IT ON!:thumbup:

Added to yesterday was a 35 min walk last night.

Today: 20 min on calves only (new routine by trainer)

35 min on cycle varying speeds

Hey Warriors,

Great workout at the gym last night...back on the elliptical trainer (because of the upper/lower body combo) and burned the same number of calories in 30 minutes as burned in 50 minutes the day before. I'm all about efficiency, so that will definately be a part of future workouts.

Walked yesterday in the AM, but not at work - preparing for committee meetings. Today I walked with family and DDog in the wind and rain, and will go to the gym again tonight. That will make 3 days this week :wink2:

Gotta get in another day's activity on the weekend - whether that will be a longer walk or a gym session depends on the weather.

Question for those using the Daily Plate - do you log your work hours as activity? I looked up what they say I burn, calorie wise, as a desk jockey and was surprised. If I added that in as activity every day, I think it would give me a false sense of security...thoughts?

*coming out of lurkdom*

i just wanted to say how VERY impressed i am with all of you.... you guys rock my world and after i deliver my DS, i'll be joining you guys...

Yeah!

today -

spin class ... sure wish this class was at 8 vs 5 am :wink2:

a drop of .4% body fat - catching up ceradad, @ 18.8% right now.

Darnit, I have to get going on that again. Can't be beat by a little woman.:wink2::crying::mad2:

For an update: Wed. night hit the legs again. Yesterday, had SWAT P.T. testing followed with weapons qualifications. Interesting sidenote, last time I wore my dropdown holster for SWAT was in Sept. I had to readjust the straps on my thigh because they were waaaaay too tight and cutting off circulation due to the MUSCLE.:sleep:

This morning was 45 minutes of upper body followed by 25 minutes on elliptical. All I had time for. Have a Christmas party tonight so no more today.

I finally ran on the treadmill today! :wink2:

Ran 30 min treadmill

100 sit ups

Firm Upper body 45 min

Darnit, I have to get going on that again. Can't be beat by a little woman.:wink2::crying:

so i changed my signature because i haven't seen 123 in over 3 wks - must be gaining muscle..:sleep:

congrats littlemissband!!!

Today: 30 minute treadmill walk. This week at worked drained my energy. I am hoping to sleep in tomorrow and get my energy back!:rolleyes2:

I had yesterday as a much needed break.

Today I have a minor head cold. It never ever fails, up the exercise intensity, get sick. Its also teeming rain. But I will endeavour to get out for an easy run this afternoon, if not, I will do something fairly gentle on the treadmill.

Jachut: I totally hear you. Any time I increase my work outs I start to feel drained and run down, like I am coming down with a cold.

Today: I need some organge juice, because I am feeling a little bit run down. 54 minutes on the treadmill at 4% to 5% incline 2.05 miles.

I am going to crawl in bed and nip the begining of this cold in the bud.

I feel like I am on an island (Exercise Island) all by myself. Where are my exercise buddies? Who is going to motivate me and keep me in check??:tongue2:

Today: 50 minute treadmill 2.10 miles at 4% incline. Upper body workout with free wights for 20 minutes.

I'm here, I was just too weak to type for a while there, having done Cardio Coach Vol. 6 OUTSIDE. Holy cow that was hard. I must have looked ridiculous, I had to walk during the low intensity phases, then I'd mouth the countdown ten to one, and suddenly take off like I was being chased by demons, lol. Scarlet faced and dripping with sweat and gasping like I was about to die.

Why do i love doing that to myself? Am I insane?

The closer I come to vomiting, the better I like it, lol.

Good morning Warriors!

Friday was a bust, workout-wise. Had to wear my boots to work (normally wear my cross-trainers) so I had NO shoes to do a lunchtime walk or my evening workout.:confused_smile: Note to self: buy extra pair of crosstrainers on EBay and leave them in my workout bag!

Saturday DD and I went to the gym. 30 minutes on the elliptical, plus a full route through the circuit training area which included upper and lower body work. Tired, sore muscles, but feeling great. Had Protein shakes after workout for both of us instead of normal Breakfast, so a GREAT start to the day!

Walked in the afternoon with DD and DDog, so it was a great Saturday. Sunday was a slow day, exercise-wise...walked with DDog in the morning, but had a potluck after church. I was pretty good - ate mostly protein, left the home-made biscuits alone:crying:

Slow Sunday night - studying and homework. Back on the grind this morning - full walk with DDog, DD and DH, planning to walk at lunchtime. No gym tonight because of class.

Seeing my Primary Care doc this afternoon for the first time since surgery. I think he'll be pleased with my weight loss - I know I am!:thumbup:

1 hour spin class!!!!!! :confused_smile:

didn't do too much this wkend, holiday parties/cowboy game (go ahead ceradad, enjoy!)

back to the grind:

saturday - nothing

sunday - about 2hrs horseback riding & walking with the dogs

today - taking DH's training session this afternoon, need to sweat some of the bad out:tongue:
