    Monday I ran around the hospital, walked there and back (about 20 minutes round trip), walked to work last night (35 minutes) carrying about 15 lbs in my back pack and walked 35 minutes back in the morning (Tuesday). I haven't had much time lately to workout other than getting to work and my internships...so today's goal will be housework!

    Go Smiles, get your Zumba! Go Smiles, get your Zumba!

    I may add a little extra to my workout routine tonight as well. Our kitchen is no use (again, see profile update and our adventures in this old house) so we can't get to fridge, or micro, or any such useful thing so we're ordering out. >.> <.<


    I will be walking my dogs, and I had meant to do just a couple of things on my strength video but may do the whole workout now, or some zumba!

    I got in 30 minutes of cardio circuit training tonight. I have worked out 4 days in a row which doesn't sound like a big deal, but I had only worked out 3 days in all of 2011 before this. Thanks for the motivation!

    Tuesday I got up at 430am and walked on treadmill for 20mins for a little over a mile. Then went to work for 12 hours. Same routine tomorrow but I hope to do 30 mins in the am. Doesn't seem to be much compared to the rest of ya'll. But I am goring to get me some Zumba dvds this week. Ya'll have got me wanting to try it soooooo bad!!:flowerforyou:

    I'm glad I'm not somebody who hasn't logged in to report back!

    I definitely did not want to work out today....but I knew that I was being held accountable in this group, even though I could just not post for today.

    But I did it! I walked for 15 minutes at a 4.0 pace and did elliptical for 30 minutes.

    Despite a rotten start food wise, I got an hour of exercise in: 25 mins zumba, and the rest split between the treadmill and the elliptical. :)

    I was able to walk for an hour at lunch today, but it was up a lot of hills and at a fast speed. This is great because I feel like I have to do something.
