I do not think that water's right, so I'm going to double check my count. *The water's right now. I was supposed to go to Zumba, but it got cancelled at last minute. I didn't work too hard today but my glasses seem to be staying well enough to do harder things. Hopefully I'll get them fixed next week. Superglue did not work lol, but clear tape seems to be working.

Hope your knees get better soon. Belly dancing sounds like it'd really work your core.

Sorry for being MIA! I am graduating tomorrow morning and am visiting w/relatives (if running from sun up to sun down counts as visiting!). I have been keeping up with my exercising and making reasonably good choices while eating out and making sure I get my water in. I have not been logging simply for lack of time. I will try to catch up on Sunday but may not be able to get it done until I get home late on Monday. Haven't forgot about you all and it was great to see all the posts although again..no time to read them!

Take care, keep up the good work, and Happy Mothers day!

Well, I have had a head cold, since Tuesday, and as of Wednesday it moved into my chest and lungs. Well, I still did quite a workout on both Wednesday/Thursday and I think I totally wore down my body. I had all the intentions to do the same thing on Friday, but managed to barely get a 30 minute walk in with my dogs. It was tough. So I gave myself a break and took the rest of the day to lay on the couch, cough, take tons of medicine, and try to sleep here and there. Slightly better today, but still have it in my head and chest.

So, my results for Week 5, Day 5

I did a 30 minute walk with my dogs and burned, per my HRM, 300 calories

I drank and drank and drank water because of all of the coughing and because the medicine made me feel really parched. I think I finished the day out with 22 glasses of water.

My weekly results, so far, are 343 minutes of cardio and 115 minutes of strength, and 112 minutes of other for a total of 570 minutes

Okay, here are my results for today, Week 5 Day 4 and let me tell you, this was one day that was REALLY hard to complete due to a horrible head/chest cold going on!

I did a 40 minute walk with the dogs and burned, per my HRM, 422 calories
I did 25 minute circuit training of half cardio half strength and burned, per my HRM, 337 calories
I did a 45 minute kettlebell class and burned, per my HRM, 606 calories

I have had 17 glasses of water so far today

My weekly results, so far, are 343 minutes of cardio and 115 minutes of strength, and 82 minutes of other for a total of 540 minutes

Here are my results for Week 5, Day 3

I did a 42 minute walk with my dog and burned, per my HRM, 405 calories
I did a 60 minute workout with my personal trainer and burned, per my HRM, 1046 calories
I did a 45 minute step aerobics class and burned, per my HRM, 736 calories

I have had 12 glasses of water so far today

My weekly results, so far, are 283 minutes of cardio and 105 minutes of strength, and 42 minutes of other for a total of 430 minutes

Here are my results for Week 5, Day 2

I did 45 minutes on the Elliptical and burned, per my HRM, 633 calories
I did a 70 minute Muscle Pump class and burned, per my HRM, 711 calories

I have had 19 glasses of water today

My weekly results, so far, are 213 minutes of cardio and 70 minutes of strength for a total of 283 minutes

I began feeling a head cold coming on, last night, during my second class, and by the time I got home my body was weak and I felt exhausted. I took tons of medicine before bed and felt slightly better this morning, but it was in my chest and head. It really hurt to workout today. So, while I put in the minutes I didn't PUSH it as hard as I usually do. I was glad it was a Muscle Pump class, on the schedule, for tonight, because it was just the speed that I needed to go with this cold.

How are the first two days going for everyone else?

So, here we go week 5! Here are my results for Week 5, Day 1

I did 80 minutes of run/walk intervals and burned, per my HRM, 1078 calories
I did a 44 minute Hula Hoop class and burned, per my HRM, 661 calories
I did a 44 minute Kettlebell class and burned, per my HRM, 688 calories

I have had 17 glasses of water so far today.

That puts me at 168 minutes of cardio, thus far.

Good Morning!

Thought I would check in with my Friday results before I headed out to ride today.

23 minutes-walk/run (alternated blocks)
30 minutes-walk
25 minutes-core secrets
133 minutes-cycling. Shaved 17 minutes off my time from Sunday. Before I pat myself on the back too much, I figure part was due to the broke gearing and wind on Sunday. Today was windy but 15 MPH is a lot easier than 30.

8 glasses of water.

Hope everyone has a great weekend (and feel better Tracie!!!)

I am feeling there is light at the end of the tunnel for this cold. Still gripping me, but I am breathing slightly better and was able to walk just a tish faster today before I would begin to cough. All the coughing has my chest and throat so sore! I can honestly say I would rather be sore from working out than from coughing. Ugh!

So, here is what I managed to accomplish today, Day 6, WEEK 5, WOW!

I did a 62 minute walk and burned, per my HRM, 592 calories
I did a 35 minutes, slower, bike ride, and burned, per my HRM, 460 calories

I have had 12 glasses of water so far today

I am going to count today's bike ride as "other" because it wasn't really cardio but more just getting some exercise in. I kept my heart rate right at 101-103 BPM's because if I go over that I am coughing and having a hard time breathing. So, it was more a leisurly bike ride than a cardio one.

My weekly results, so far, are 343 minutes of cardio and 115 minutes of strength, and 209 minutes of other for a total of 667 minutes

@ kiki_ac, way to go Kiana. Look at you, what a great week you had thus far and there is still one more day. Keep at it, you are doing great!

@ 1crazymom way to go on completing the 30 day shred. You have more courage than I do. I have no interest in even doing the shred. Way to go, that is an accomplishment, keep at it and do what you can around your busy weekend.

@ hawkeyegal1995 Jenn, way to go shaving time. Hey, shaving time is shaving time and you are working hard at your biking. So, I would venture it was you. Great job!

Everyone is doing such an awesome job at this challenge. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the dedication of those that have stuck around. Dedication is what it takes in this journey. If we don't keep at it we will not succeed! You are all sticking to it and I know each and every one of you will succeed at your goals. Way to go!

Hey everyone!

Mother nature finally gave me a pretty decent day and I took full advantage!

Here are my numbers for Saturday:
20 minutes-core secrets
25 minutes-elliptical
30 minutes-walking (mowing the lawn-after I got home from biking)
220 minutes-cycling. I had hoped to go a bit longer but ended up riding over lunch and did not think to bring any food along so I was getting awful hungry towards the end.

8 glasses of water so far....thirsty from the ride though so I will get some more. I am horrible at drinking while I ride--I only drank 1 bottle while riding.

Hope everyone had a great day and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
