    Hi everyone: First of all, way to go Yolie, I could feel your excitement when I read your post. Also, I agree with the sticking to the cardio challenge. And congrats Chrissy for your control.

    It's a new day. Everyone got some great plans for this week? I've had a good weekend. Had a date night with my hubby on Saturday, had a nice little visit with my sister and her family yesterday, and finally went to the doctor about my sinus problems. Nothing like a couple of embarrassing nose bleeds to make you take action. I'm on a strong antibiotic now which I take once a day for 15 days. Hoping that will work so I can get back to the gym. My week of eating and such really wasn't as controlled as it should have been but I did make a point of doing at least 20 minutes of some kind of exercise every day (which really was strenuous with the sinus thing going on) and it seems to have helped. Stepped on the scale this morning and I'm down a bit.

    Well I'm off to get things tidied up here, I've got a guy coming over to install some contraption so I will now have high speed wireless internet ... unlimited ... woo hoo!! I'll pop back on later.

    Hello all!

    I spent most of the weekend in bed, not really sick just really tired. Every now and then I have to sleep for a couple of days. There is a name for it but I can`t recall off the top of my head. Anyway, didn`t get enough calories in but am feeling mostly back to normal today and will try to get them in.

    It helped my weight loss but not in a good way since I will probably stay the same over the next few days or fluctuate over the next week.

    Hope everyone is doing well.

    Take care,
    Datenshi

    SO I went and got a gym membership tonight. i haven't gone to the gym in about 2 years I usually just use my elliptical and occasionally do a DVD. Well let me tell you, I am pumped. The treadmill is amazing there is an IPod dock that when I put mine in it made everything appear on the huge screen on the treadmill so i did not have to fumble to change songs etc. Plus it took me a bit to realize it picked up my heart rate monitor, so I could see my accurate heart rate and calorie burn being sent to the machine from my watch. It also I can hook it up to the nike running program and it will automatically record it through my IPod. It was the coolest thing ever. The bikes pick up my HRM too but no IPod dock or fancy screen.

    I am pretty pumped. Back to spinning for me and I will join Zumba when the next registration comes around. I needed a little change for added motivation, plus my kids are going as well so my 13 &18 year old went with me tonight. We did not really chat since we worked out but it was still a bonding experience! :laugh:

    I can feel your excitement in your post. That's great that you went out and found some new form of motivation. I love the description of the treadmill. I've started dropping hints about wanting one here in my house ... a good one with the screen and everything for next winter season.

    So I just plugged in my IPod to sync with my computer and it asked if I wanted to send my run information to Nike. I said sure(I had to set up an account) but then presto my info from the treadmill was up. What time of night I started my "run", how long, how many kilometres. Crazy!! So exciting... That could ba addictive. I thought I was joining for classes but I love that machine.

    Maggs- I totally recommend having a machine in house, I would not be where I am if I could not start at home while obese and work up my confidence. This machine I think would cost a small fortune although I am just guessing. It is made by Star Trac you should check this mama out. Maybe I am too easily impressed but it is the fanciest equipment I have ever used and I I have tried almost every gym around I think.

    Datenshi- Hope you are feeling better.

    Chrissy- Boo to sore hips and TOM, but yay you for tackling the DVD and behaving yourself food wise.

    That's really cool. I've thought about the Nike stuff but I run in Mizunos most of the time and I wouldn't have the sensor in my shoe-maybe there's a holder for it?!

    I've been wanting a treadmill forever! You guys are not helping! LOL We bought our big piece of equipment when I was pregnant with my son, so I agreed to the elliptical but I LOVE treadmills! I find running (at least the getting started portion) much easier on the treadmill.
