    I haven't been able to use the treadmill because of the weather, which means not doing it outside either. So I have a feeling that to make up this whole week, I'll be working out like crazy Saturday trying to get everything in. But I will get all my workouts in. I'll update my results as soon as I can to. I'm ready for summer when the weather isn't as bad!

    Hey Gang!

    For Monday:

    60 minutes-circuit training
    30 minutes-elliptical
    8 glasses of water

    For Tuesday:
    65 minutes-elliptical
    30 minutes-walking
    25 minutes-Jillian MIchaels full frontal training
    10 glasses of water

    my legs are really sore from my attempt at running on Sunday so I have a feeling that I will be taking it easy this week. Mother nature is still not cooperating but hopefully soon!

    Take care of everyone and keep up the good work!

    Here is my results for day two, week four.
    - My strength training lasted 9 minutes and according to MFP I burned 34 calories.
    - I only got in about 5 glasses of water.
    Total: 9 minutes. 0 minutes is cardio and 9 minutes is strength.

    chickadee's week four progress:
    Total Weekly Minutes: 59
    Total Weekly Cardio Minutes: 45
    Total Weekly Strength Minutes: 14
    Total Weekly Water Intake: 8 glasses

    I've had a headache since yesterday evening and not much is helping. I took some ibuprophen earlier, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. I wasn't able to finish my whole strength workout, I have two more exercises left on it. Like I've said, I'll be sure to get in everything by the end of the month (Saturday). I'm quite determined. It seems like this week and last week weather has been interefering a lot.

    In my last post, I said I was determined to finish those workouts I'd 'skipped'. I ended up doing them, because I wanted to. I was in a very good mood throughout the whole thing and ended up burning 500+ calories and working out for an hour and fifteen minutes. So my advice to you is this: If you ever feel overwhelmed by something, get away from it for a while. Put it out of your mind. A few hours later - or however long - you'll feel like you want to do it, not because you have to.

    You all are rocking this challenge!

    Here are my results for Week 4, Day 3

    I did a 37 minute walk with the dogs and burned, per my HRM, 347 calories
    I did 37 minutes of strength training with my trainer and burned, per my HRM, 604 calories

    I have had 12 glasses of water, so far today, but many more to follow

    That puts me at 312 minutes of cardio, 37 minutes of strength training, and 37 minutes of other for 386 minutes this week, so far.

    I really want to take a bike ride as it is so beautiful today, but I have got so much to get done around my house. So, my plan, if I don't just totally wear out, is to get the things done around the house, get dinner cooked, and maybe after dinner take a ride.
    Here is my results for Week 4, Day 2:

    I did 90 minutes of running/walk intervals and burned, per my HRM, 1033 calories
    I did 35 minutes of roller skating and burned, per my HRM, 405 calories
    I did 40 minutes of kick boxing and burned, per my HRM, 575 calories

    I have drank 17 glasses of water so far today

    That puts me at 312 minutes of cardio. I haven't gotten any strength in yet this week,but I will be getting that done tomorrow
    Here is my results for WEEK 4, DAY 1:

    I did 65 minutes of running/walk intervals and burned, per my HRM, 808 calories
    I did 22 minutes of roller skating and burned, per my HRM, 268 calories
    I did a 30 minute bike ride and burned, per my HRM, 554 calories (was pretty proud as I kept it in a high gear most of the ride)
    I did a 30 minute kettlebell DVD and burned, per my HRM, 415 calories

    That's 147 minutes of cardio, so far.

    18 glasses of water so far today but several hours left so I am sure more.

    Does running around my apartment in a flurry, because a bee got in somehow, count as exercise? I planned on doing some DVDs or going for a run before work, but then I spotted a fuzzy bee trying to sit on my couch. I freaked out (I am phobia-afraid of bees) and was in a panic for about 1.5 hours. I got him stuck between my door and the screen door, and he somehow managed to escape from where he got in (Thank goodness!)

    So, unfortunately, no workout for me today! I can't help but say I am disappointed in myself a little, but my phobia took over and there is nothing stopping it sometimes.

    Day 23

    Cardio:35 mins
    35 mins - Get Running (wk2 run2) + extra

    Day 24 - Travel day from hell - not going to count any time although I've been "running" for close to 14 hours now! Seems ironic to call it a "rest" day!

    Week 4 Totals: 118 mins/Cardio; 15 mins/Strength; 85 mins/Other= 218 mins

    Going to have to push super hard these last 3 days to make MY goal!
