@zichab It's so nice to know someone else dreads strength as much as I do! :laugh: I don't mind the upper body stuff as much as lower. I truly hate lunges! I don't like squats either, but I'd rather do those. Because I dislike lower body so much, I always do that once first when I use Tone Every Zone. I found myself yelling back at Coach when I was doing strength the other day on HASfit, that's how much I hate doing it. He wouldn't shut up about how great it all was and I just wanted it to be over!
@knjstolt Good luck with training at your new job! How wonderful to have a job that allows you to get some miles in! I like it!
Aug 3: 7 Miles ~ 5 Miracle Miles + 2 Mile Walking for Weight Loss + 23 min booty builder strength HASfit
Aug 4: 8 Miles ~ 3 Mile Walk + 5 Mile Advanced + all 3 Circuits of Tone Every Zone

8/1-WAH 5K with a twist-3.1 miles=3.1 miles total
-Vivofit tracked 1.4=4.5 miles total
8/2-WAH iWalk Strong 3 miles=7.5 miles total
Vivofit tracked 2.4 miles=9.9 miles total
8/3-WAP 4 mile Super Challenge=4 miles=13.9 miles total
Vivofit tracked .7 miles=14.6 iles total
8/4 Vivofit tracked 2.7 miles=17.3 miles total
8/5-WAH Heart Healthy Walk-3miles=20.3 miles total
OK, so the next time I say ANYTHING about walking X number of days in a row, remind me of how jinxed I am OK????
I was cleaning out down stairs, as the plumbers have to move heat pipes, drill holes in joists, solder pipes (read MAKE A MESS) etc and I wanted to make sure to protect everything. As I was hurrying across the room, I tripped over a 2X4 my DH had left on the floor and went sailing through the air and landed on my left knee and left forearm on the floor!! Mid-60s is not a good age to fall I have learned! :laugh: My knee is all black and blue and swollen, but it works fine and my triceps feel like I have done a 5 hour Leslie workout. Of course, all this happened before I had done my work out for the day and my DH felt that I needed to rest everything to be sure there was not a more serious injury that was not visible yet. So, I am calling yesterday a rest day! 
Today, I decided to try a 3mile workout without too many really strenuous moves and everything functioned just fine, so I got in 3 miles today. I move at 100 MPH and I have to learn to slow down now as I get older, especially when my house is under construction all the time!! 
@VeggieGirlforLife I tried HASFit and I just do not like strength training enough to stay with him. I end up watching him and thinking "Gosh he is cute."
I just lose all focus! With Leslie, even though she does many of the same exercises as Coach does, I tend to not get distracted, probably because I am so used to following her.
@neyagoal Welcome and all you need to join in is to walk walk walk!!

25.25 Miles tracked last week. I've dropped another 1/2 pound and am sitting at 180.0. The goal this week is to break into the 170's and then keep dropping. Also, stay away from fast food. I may need to invest in a shock collar so I stop driving into McD's.
Thanks for all the kind words about my group walks. There is going to be a meeting in September so hopefully, by then we can come up with a few other ideas to get more people interested.4 -

Oh no!! I'm so glad every thing seems to be functioning and you are doing OK.
Maybe texasgardner can add a note of warning to you in the monthly challenge thread in case you forget this incident in the future. Seriously, I'm very glad you are OK. 1 -

Ladies thank u so much for being such amazing inspiration.. Yesterday I really wasn't feeling in mood for workout( usually my periods are so painful that my workout schedule was made to be free on 1st and 2nd day but this time, it came bit earlier) but I remembered that there s members here with amazing achievements that support and follow up each other so I just couldn't not do it. So for 07.08 my workout was as follows:
30 min of 30 days shred, week 3
30 min of ripped in 30,week 3
30 min of leg workout
30 min walking with Leslie - well I was jogging every time she said walk but same thing, great workout that suppose to be 2 miles but my pedometer doesn't agree..

Welcome to "my fitness tracker and Leslie workouts are never the same". The trackers don't count certain movements as steps so they are always but trust Leslie, she's never lied to me.

So far I have stuck to my goals for August and thank y'all so much for being so welcoming here!!! I finished another cycle of C25K today and figured out that I have 4 weeks until I need to start the next cycle for my 5K in November, so I have decided to try the Leslie dvds that I own with the strength training Leslie dvd as well.
My new schedule will look like M,W,F Leslie Walk Slim 3 Fast miles, Tuesday and Thursday the Leslie strength training, and hopefully the scale will budge.
It stayed the same today but my hip measurement went down a half and inch, so?????
