took a little careful planning, but managed to get in my 3 fruits/4 veggies (this is always a tough one for me so I'm really pleased with myself lol)
I tried two new machines at the gym this morning...the first was an assisted chin up machine which I've always watched people on but I've always been too nervous to actually try...I loved it!!! I needed a LOT of the assist part, but I really liked the workout it gave my whole upper body and I will definitely be using it again.
I also tried an ab machine that was this chair that you sit in resting your feet on a footrest and handles to push against...you basically crunch in the chair using weight for resistance...I tried it because I sometimes get bored of the same old floor exercises for abs but I didn't like it very much at all...it felt unnatural and didn't feel like it did much for my abs either...oh well.0 -
I'm in! I just mentioned yesterday that I'm going to dust off the DVD's I threw in a drawer years ago and I have the 30 Day Shred coming in this week. Perfect timing. I think I can tackle the veggies too. Good luck to everyone!0

Almost made it to the 7 fruits/veggies goal! Only one veggie away...hopefully tomorrow I can meet it.
However, I did try a new exercise at the gym today. I usually do the stairmaster first (and then the elliptical) and watch people work out in the row in front of me on "the wave." It always looked interesting, so I did that today instead of the stairmaster. It took me a minute to learn how to do it correctly, but then did for 15 minutes before my 45 minutes on the elliptical. The "wave" was a good little workout, but I have to say I like the stairmaster better...0 -

Hi, all. I'm pleased to be back in the land of the living. The pollen we've got here in DC totally kicked my butt on Sunday and yesterday, leaving me home, hiding from the evils floating in the air... (sigh). I've a love-hate relationship with spring, truly.
But on to this week's challenge! I'm psyched, because today I ended up trying some new workout equipment that I'd not done, courtesy of my trainer! We did almost an entire workout with ropes -- big, thick, heavy ropes. Looked deceptively simple, but I feel like spaghetti right now, and can't wait to try again!
Have a good one.

Morning everyone! Yesterday ended up being a bit of a rough one, didn't get home until after 9pm so no workout for me.
But today is a new day and I have a plan in place.

Still trying to find time to get in the new exercises... my available days are quickly running out (camping this weekend and hockey game on tonight - maybe I can get my hubby to partake in the Wii after the game tonight, we'll see:D0 -
I was totally worried about today when I saw I only had 2 fruit and 4 veggie servings. I was getting hungry this evening, so I made myself eat a green pepper instead of something carb... :laugh:
I was also looking a some workout DVD I haven't tried yet, but it had a lot of strength in it, so I decided not to do it today, because of Ripped in 30... Actually, I just remembered now that I was gonna do it without weights, but I ended up on the bike and dancing instead.
