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:

Happy Pre-Holiday, Warriors!

Keeping up with my walking, but not much else. Did have "fun" shoveling snow over the weekend, but not much else going on.

scale is kinda stuck, but clothes are getting looser so I'm semi-happy. :thumbup: Looking forward to a loooong vacation from work - from Christmas Eve (tomorrow) through Jan 4th (Sunday after New Year's). I don't have to go back to work until Jan 5th, so I'm planning a mini-challenge for myself.

I plan to work out EVERY day, with only Sundays off. :thumbup: Yep, I plan to be at the gym on Christmas Day and New Year's Day if they are open, if not, I'll do something at home.

Goal? I want to finish migrating from a size 18 to a size 16 before I come back to work in 2009. My size 20's are falling off and the 18's are getting loose, so I think I can make it. :eek:

Concentration areas? Mostly upper body and abs. I'm okay with my legs for now (nothing some squats couldn't fix) and my abs are really my WORST bodypart right now. :cool2: I also am noticing a little loss of size and fullness with the "girls" so I need to pump up my pecs to keep them up high and perky (or as perky as a 40J can be). :wink2:

Looking forward to a new year and starting a January exercise challenge. Many kudos to all of you dedicated exercisers that give me inspiration and challenge me to keep on going. :tt2::wub::smile:

If your hubby starts cheering for the Gnats, I would lose all respect for him as a Cowboys fan. How can you even ask him to degrade himself like that?:tongue2:
