  • WOW! Everyone is really moving it . Just posting weekly.....moved 402 minutes in week 1 (need to update my ticker). Didn't exercise yesterday b/c my body was very fatigued after hiking for 2 1/2 hrs in the foothills of the Appalachians. My calf muscles are still sore, but will try to get my 30 day shred in today. Good luck towards another great week!
  • WOO- HOO look at you ALL go!! :drinker: Very impressive- motivating!! :smile:

    Tuesday- 30 minf of Fire 30/363 calories

    Total: 115 min/1153 calories

    I weighed in yesterday and hadn't lost anything since last week's weigh-in, and I know its probably due to not eating as good as I should have this last weekend. So I am making it a point to workout more this week than I have the last few weeks. It'll be hard, but I think it'll make me feel better and not so guilty about having one weekend of not being so obessed with weight loss and calorie counting. I guess that's what I get for thinking I was doing so good. Oh well....
