Happy New Year everyone! And welcome to another exciting year of exercise challenge.:Yawn:

Today: 50 minutes treadmill at 5% incline 2.1 miles.

I had a rest day. My triceps were happy but my quads are still killing me. I think I may have to go to two rest days a week. :wub:

I don't think there is anything wrong with two rest days per week. No matter how hard I try to go beyond 5-days of exercise, I get physically drained and just cannot do it. So now, I gladly do 5-days EX and 2-days off.

Anyway, I think your doing great!!!!:tongue2:

Today: 2.20 miles on treadmill a cross between walking and jogging at 5% incline with free weights used intermittently.

I need a fill now!!!!!!!!!

I went jogging outside yesterday and I twisted my ankle and fell. It's pretty swollen and sore, so I won't be doing much for a few days at least.

I ran 2 miles yesterday and rested today. In all I ran/walked 40 miles in the past week. My body was screaming for a break today so I gave in.

Ran 28min, walked 10min.

I wore a short sleeve shirt and it was 53 and sunny out! Yeah!

Saturday - walked 35 minutes - well bundled up; it was minus 9 as the high!

Sunday - shoveled for a back breaking cardio-pumping 30 minutes

Today - 30 min on elliptical; 25 minutes biceps/chest workout - graduated to 8 pound weights!

Yes, any kind of exercise works. We motivate each other, so come join us. :wub:

Ok! Thanks guys! This is what I need!

I did work out that day too. I did the biggest loser work out on Exercise TV. Man, my legs are killing me!!! TOO many lunges!!! I only did about 10 mins.

I'll try to get something in today too. :thumbdown:

Morning all!

Saturday - 30 min treadmill, 20 min lower body strength, 15 min elliptical

Sunday - 30 min treadmill, 20 min upper body strength, 15 min elliptical followed by 30 min of walking the dog with my mom in the pm.

Today I have a faculty meeting from 4-6 and my daughter has a dance performance from 7-9, so I am definitely taking a day off of exercise. Back at it tomorrow!

Thanks luluc. It's getting a little better each day. I hope to be back on my feet soon.

Today-5 mile run/walk. I ran the first 5k and then did intervals for the rest.

Hello, i'm kind of new to the website and I love how it provides a lot of helpful information and you are able to talk to lots of people who have been in the same situation. I was banded in October and have since only lost about 22 lbs. I was kind of frustrated and because of my plantar faciitis I am hurting in my foot a lot and can't do that much exercising.. But I am having surgery on my foot on Wednesday and after that I am looking forward to getting out there and shedding more pounds!! Keep up the good work to all!!
