    Hey Gang:

    I am sick of this weather! Winter was long enough and I am really itching to get out for some serious riding. I need to start logging more miles in prep for RAGBRAI. I caved and brought the bike inside tonight so I could spin for a bit on the training stand but it just not the same (or as fun)!

    So here's the numbers for the week so far:

    Monday:
    45 minutes of elliptical
    30 minutes-walking
    60 minutes-circuit training

    8 glasses of water

    Tuesday:
    45 minutes-elliptical
    30 minutes-walking
    15 minutes-lifted weights standing on bosu
    30 minutes-bike on training stand

    9 glasses of water

    Keep up the good work everyone!
    Jenn

    Wow--Ragbrai? I'm impressed! Do you do the whole week?

    Things going ok on my end. Starting off Friday morning with 175 minutes still to log for the week. BUT no work today, so it's time to get off the computer and get to cleaning and exercising. Yesterday was a day off, so really ready to get busy today!

    Here is my results for Week three, Day five
    I did 39 minutes of walk/run intervals and burned, per my HRM, 628 calories

    I have done 438 minutes of cardio, 92 minutes of strength, and 39 minutes of other for a total of 569 minutes so far this week

    I am really burnt out this week and it has me frustrated. My daughter and grandson got here for Easter weekend, last night, so over the last three days I have also done three hours of carpet cleaning, washing dogs, striping beds and washing sheets/comforters, a lot of extra cooking, grocery shopping, and tons of other cleaning. I think all of the extra stuff has really burned me out. Plus, today, it is snowing/raining, AGAIN, and it has been dark outside all day long. BUT, I have kept PUSHING MYSELF to get in my workouts and to feel good about it.

    I did a 40 minute session with my trainer that was half and half strength/cardio and burned, per my HRM, 704 calories

    I have had 18 glasses of water, thus far, but more to follow

    I have done 242 minutes of cardio, 92 minutes of strength, and 39 minutes of other for a total of 373 minutes so far this week
    Here are my results for Week Three, day two:
    I did 55 minutes of running, with walking inserted in at times, burned, per my HRM, 775 calories
    I did 30 minutes of the elliptical and burned, per my HRM, 536 calories,
    I did a 52 minute muscle pump class and burned, per my HRM, 529 calories

    I have drank 18 glasses of water so far, but am parched and willd drink more

    I have done 222 minutes of cardio and 72 minutes of strength for a total of 294 minutes so far this week.
    Here are my Week Three, Day one results:

    I did 60 minutes of walk/run intervals, this morning, and burned, per my HRM, 708 calories
    I Roller Skated 33 minutes, this afternoon, and burned, per my HRM, 508 calories
    I did circuit strength training for 20 minutes and burned, per my HRM, 202 calories
    I did a 44 minute kettlebell class and burned, per my HRM, 616 calories

    Wow--Ragbrai? I'm impressed! Do you do the whole week?

    That's the plan....the lotto results will be out on May 1st so fingers crossed that I get a weeklong pass. I already have my rooms booked across the state.

    So here's my numbers for Friday:
    100 minutes-cycling--bike on the stand (hopefully one last day of this)
    30 minutes of walking
    8 glasses of water.

    Hope everyone had a great Friday!

    Well, I did my 3.5 hours of farming yesterday (60 minutes for 600 calories.)

    I was so sore today, but COULD HAVE worked out. Well, it's Good Friday, service was 1.5 hours long, I had major shopping to do & going to work (where I am now.)

    Let's hope tomorrow I will get something in! Still gotta go to work, though.

    Good evening all! At some point the "winter" in the middle of spring that we have been experiencing will hopefully change to spring -- although I have a feeling we will just be skipping spring and going straight into summer. Tuesday we got 10 inches of snow... again!

    Today my intention was to run the overpass route backwards... except I got lost. Instead of giving up I found myself on a challenging hilly trail run! I managed to make it 8 miles today... best time ever for 8 miles as well, even with all the hills!

    Monday: 4 mile run + 1/2 P90X CST (1230 calories)
    Tuesday: 30 minutes Plyo X (270 calories)
    Wednesday: REST DAY
    Thursday: 40 minutes Yoga X (280 calories)
    Friday: 8 mile hilly trail run (1860)


    = 3640 calories

    Didn't get to post yesterday. Friday 70 minutes 12 8 oz glasses.
    We dyed eggs with not to many miss haps. Older son's second time(1st he was onlt 4wks) he spilled the blue and we had a blue kid for a few days! Hehe can laugh now. The baby just has some orange fingers and tried to eat the eggs with the shell, we peeled one he wasn't fond of it. Our dog loved his egg like always!

    Know today most likely I won't get to much more exercise in so 60 minutes. Will up date tomorrow morning. Another busy day.

    Tracie hope you feel less burnt out as you enjoy playing with your grandson. Kids make everything better.

    Good job everyone keep going!!!

    Day 20

    Pretty much a rest day. I have a sore foot (had surgery in Jan) that needed just a bit of a rest after Fridays run. Took the girls to TWO egg hunts and shopping. Was walking (not so briskly) for about 4 hours so I guess I did do something! I'm only going to count 60 mins of Other.

    Almost half way!!!! Way to go everyone!

    Week 3 Totals: 264 mins/Cardio; 30 mins/Strength; 105 mins/Other= 501 mins

    PS - wore a pair of pants today that had previously been too tight!!! :happy:

    Hi Everyone
    I feel horrible that I didn't make my goal. I have two huge events, and a contract job plus helping my husband get ready for a craft show. My house and my workouts have suffered for sure. I did well at the beginning of the week but it feel apart quickly. I was just under 2000 cals burned. I will try and push myself harder next week but am afraid with the time involved I'm going to have a hard time. I am going to wear my HRM and see and will see if I can find a pedometer to use, as the event spans 4 parks in two city blocks so I'm going to be curious to see what I burn doing that. :)

    You are all pushing so hard and logging such great success. Keep it up. It's awesome!

    Have a great week. :)

    Happy Easter everyone!

    I have decided that mother nature must know my schedule and decides to only give nice days when I am completely unable to get out and ride...today would have been perfect to ride but I was stuck with family. Saturday was cool and windy so I did not get nearly enough time in on my bike. Thankfully this challenge does not track our food, as I really enjoyed the big Easter dinner.

    Saturday
    125 minutes-cycling. I had hoped to get 4 hours in but after 2 hours, I was freezing and called it a day. Rode just over 25 miles so I am well off my pace.

    Sunday
    23 minutes-running (which is shocking as I never run)
    18 minutes-walking

    Not sure on my water for either day....sorry. I drank a lot on Saturday with the riding but no so much today. Will try to improve that for next week.

    Total for the week: 791 minutes and 135 minutes of that was strength training. According to MFP, that burned 6885 calories. I have been really bad about wearing my HRM (or starting it)

    Hope everyone has a great week!
