Christmas Fitness Challenge Check-in - December 4

Morning Everyone. Nicole must be tied up with the little ones. Don't know how you moms do it. I can hardly keep up and all my little ones have tails - my picture on the left is an artist's interpretation of one of my babies, not far from the truth either.

Yesterday I taught the 90 minute yoga class and walked for 45 minutes. I joined the spring fitness challenge, so now I have to work on balance, abs, and jogging. Today is gym day, but my germaphobic husband has seeped into my head, and I don't like getting on the floor of the gym anymore. So I have to remember to do leg lifts once I get home.

The scale was the same today as yesterday, so I can say with confidence another 1.5 lbs gone! I'm very happy about this. I get my physical today, so I can tell doc that my diet is working!

Greetings! I did 60 minutes with my trainer this morning, then a 40 minute run on the treadmill and a 60 minute yoga class! I'm determined... :happy:

Denmother, I'd say 90 minutes of biking in the hills counts for weight training!!! You rock.

I'm finally home! Thanks for starting us off today Mary! I live in the mountains about an hour outside of Denver so when I have stuff to do 'in town' it's pretty much an all day thing. Had an early morning meeting so I had to get out the door this morning! Anyway...

I rode my bike for 30 minutes at a moderate pace last night. One thing I've tried to incorporate in to my day is just moving while I'm doing other activities. Lifting the laundry bags up and down as I carry them down to the basement, dancing to my ipod while I cook, jogging in place while I wait for the shower to heat up (not the most pleasant site in front of the bathroom mirror!). I don't know if it does anything for me and it's nothing I 'count' but I figure a little extra here and there sure can't hurt!

Looks like everyone is doing a SUPER job!!! Keep up the GREAT work!!!
+++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou:

30 minutes on gazelle (I finally dusted it off)! I'm not sure if it's that or the lifting, but my calves are ON FIRE!!!!:sad:

Yesterday I worked for my Town Clerk recording documents, I think it qualifies as weight training. The books are about 10 lbs each and I kept walking them back and forth to my desk to place information in them. All I know is I had a backache after 5 hours of it. That was all for yesterday. Today I went on a small 30 minute hike through about a foot of snow. I circled our hill and then came home, it was cooold. Maybe I will do my strength training tonight if I can get to it.
