    No, i used to teach, and every so often i get the urge to start again- maybe i will sign on as a sub. Its just getting up in the am and getting the kids going etc...

    I am commited to going for a walk as soon as i put my kids on the bus, and definately getting into the gym more often- 16 days and counting...

    Welcome progress63!! Enjoy your vacation!!

    I'm in, I joined an exersice challenge on the site recently, and I ended up being the only one posting everyone gave up within the week, that's not really motivating.

    Goal number 1: exersice four-five times a week, once I've mastered this then I will add another goal.

    Good plan! welcome

    I went out for dinner last night- not too bad food wise- had had waaay too much wine at that point to be hungry, shared dessert - 6 ways!! hooray. Also, i overslept and did not make it to cardio tennis..
    Peace out, will check in again soon.

    Saturday update...

    Went to the farmer's market this morning and bought some yummy peaches!

    I just finished BL Cardio Max Level 1... I had planned to walk, but it's humid outside today so I decided to do something indoors. It kicked my butt! I will probably take a short walk after dinner tonight and do 25 push ups.


    Gameset... What's cardio tennis? Is it just really fast paced drills? I love drills more than actually playing!

    Hope you all are having a great weekend!

    You guys are keeping me motiveted too- i was tossing up between a walk and a nap.... and the WALK won!!!
    Saturday update: walked 1 hr, drank most of my water, and ate wisely!! Even have calories over for dessert- Strawberries and biscotti are calling me...

    Natalie, cardio tennis is AWESOME!!!! They run a bunch of drills, really fast paced, and depending on who is taking it, sometimes you do strenghth training segments in between, or run around the court in between each shot. Its killer! you burn up to 800 calories in anhour!!!

    I'm down a pound since last Monday! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I finally reached my first mini-goal of 10 lbs. I'm so excited!

    Today I walked about 2.5 miles with a friend. The pace wasn't as fast as when I am alone... we had her baby and her dog with us. But we were moving and catching up... so I can't complain.

    I may play tennis tonight with another friend... I had an injured foot last summer and didn't play at all... So I haven't played since the summer before last.... I hope I can keep up with her! Doesn't matter... I will burn lots of calories!

    So my goal is to fit in my 5-6 workouts this week DESPITE being in the middle of a move. We take possession of our new digs on Thurs. but I managed to get to the gym this a.m!

    The goals for the remainder of the week:

    I have an appointment with my trainer Tues. and Wed.
    I will work out at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday prior to the move.
    I will take Friday as a rest day to soak in the new house and rest my sore muscles from lifting all these boxes and furniture!!!

    I will do my best in the eating department, despite having packed up the kitchen by end of day Tues.
    I will drink my water

    Looking forward to getting this hectic week over and getting settled!!
