    Day 3:

    Treadmill walking uphill / Shadowboxing
    60 minutes / 30 minutes = 90 minutes total
    721 / 541 = 1,262 calories burned
    I felt POWERFUL after the workout because I worked out for 90 minutes! I think I'll workout for 1-1.5 hours a day because I like the burn I get!

    DAY #3

    1) What you did for exercise: weights/ walk on the treadmill
    i worked out my chest and triceps and walked on the treadmill for 40 minutes. my legs were sore from earlier in the week so i didn't run
    dumbbell chest press, close grip bench press, pressdowns, and some other machines.

    2) Duration: 100 minutes

    3) Calories burned: 1154

    4) How you felt:
    my legs are so sore from squats and running earlier in the week so i took it easy tonight. my chest workout last week was great so i was looking forward to another one, but i think the fatigue in my legs affected me because this one wasn't as good.

    tomorrow shoulders and biceps and then sunday i should be ok to run again.

    hope everyone had a great friday night :)

    Day #2:
    2 mile walking DVD with ab work and back strengthening exercises.
    Felt great - esp. since I did this at 9pm at night....
    burned: 239 calories

    Day #3: didn't exercise....spent morning and afternoon running errands with small baby...pulled/pushed 2 carts through grocery store(s) for three hours. wasn't wearing heart-rate monitor...so guestimated calories. Back was hurt by time finished...decided to take it 'easy' to heal back - did not get walk in or stretches.

    Day #4: haven't started yet - but plan to get a good work out in...back feels much better; abs sore from Thursday.

    Well after a hard week of workouts am feeling like a slacker today. I lost almost 3 lbs this week (2.8, recorded 2). I am thinking of a 60 min fast walk today vs hard core workout. Is that cheating?

    Day 5 (Saturday)
    1. What: vinyasa flow yoga ( I use the pure tranquility dvd by Rainbeau Mars)
    2. Duration: 28 minutes
    3. Calories:77
    4. How I felt: great! my back is super tight and all of the deep gentle stretching made my hips and calves feel so much better! Today I think this being active thing is a great idea!

    This being said, my legs are still sore and I am skipping the gym as I work tonight and will be on my feet. Tomorrow morning will be a walk/ jog morning unless my calves still ache and then it shall be the elliptical or perhaps the bike. So much fun to aim to exercise daily.

    No way! Exercise is exercise. Unless your walk is at the mall with a latte in hand ;)

    I realize this is short notice, but I'm starting this tomorrow. If I put it off for the start of a week or a month, I may put it off forever. Today I visited for several hours with my bff of 27 years. She's the one who got me involved in this site. She's been doing it just under 6 weeks and has lost 12 lbs, and more importantly has lost 5 inches off her waist, gone down several jean sizes, has improved the early-onset arthritis in her knees, and has improved her mood/anxiety level so much that her shrink is speaking of weaning her off her meds!! That is MASSIVE improvement in under 6 weeks!! And she says that it is almost entirely due to exercise. Not that she's not watching what she eats too - but she's NEVER been a big eater. In fact, she had to INCREASE what she ate to get up to the 1200 cals that the site keeps pushing her towards. I need to improve in all the areas she has as well - the weight loss & inches gone is really cool but would be a side benefit of losing the pain in my knees & reducing my depression meds - as well as the fact I'm diabetic & know that exercise reduces blood sugar.

    So anyone feel like dedicating themselves to this idea? 21 CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF EXERCISE!! After that you can option to cut back to 5x a week or whatever. But that 21 days to make a habit rule is what I'm going for here. My friend tells me that she has now gotten to the point where if she misses a day or 2 of exercise she feels sluggish. She MISSES it! Imagine that! So regardless if anyone else wants to do it, I'm starting tomorrow and not stopping for 21 days!
    I am in . I so need this :) thanks

    DAY 1-

    Elliptical

    30 MIN

    357 Calories burned

    I set the intensity up pretty high so I really had to push. I am still sweating like crazy and its been like15 minutes since I finished! Its been a while since I got on my elliptical. Other than the fact that it makes a weird clunking noise... I still love it!

    Day 2-

    Elliptical

    30minutes

    345 calories burned

    Went a bit lower on the intensity today. I had to get up wayy early to fit this in today. I really didnt want to screw up right away on day 2 so I got up before my early morning dentist appointment to burn it!
    It felt really good! I feel lean today. Well ok, I cheated, I jumped on the scale because I felt lean and i lost 1lb!! But its not record day (thats tomorrow) so I cant do anything but feel good about it! Sweated and it was awesome! Feels so good!

    Day 3-
    Painting the house
    4 hours
    800 or so calories burned
    Its done! Its done! Its done! thats all I can say! Im so happy its done!

    day 4-
    Gardening/lawn mowing/Golfing
    2.5 hours
    700ish calories burned
    Felt good to be doing something other than painting or worrying about painting. I actually didnt do to bad at golfing either. This exercise proves that you dont have to be stuck in the house or suffering to be counting exercise minutes!

    DAY 4: Saturday

    Walked at about 2 mph
    64 mins
    349 cals
    I felt so PROUD because I was VERY sore when I started my first walk, and nearly turned around to go home, but kept on. Then later my friend suggested another walk (long story - will post about it in my blog) and so we did another 34 mins. SO SORE! But very proud :)

    Day # 3:

    1) What I did for exercise - n/a (oops)

    2) Duration - n/a

    3) Calories burned - n/a

    4) How I felt - I feel dumb that I deidn't work out. There was no reason for it.

    *********************************************************************************************

    Day # 4:

    1) What I did for exercise - Insanity Cardio Power & Resistance

    2) Duration - 39 minutes

    3) Calories burned - Unknown (I have stopped wearing my HRM, as I know Insanity burns at leat 400 calories per session)

    4) How I felt - Just alright. My legs are fine (and clearly improved from a few months ago), but my arms always feel so weak when I am winded. Even after a finishing a full round of Insanity (I'm now on my 2nd round), it's still so hard on the arms. Anyways, I am now headed out to the yard for a few hours of sure-to-be grueling yard work, weeding, and mowing in the hot sun - woohoo. So, in my mind, that makes up (at least calorie-burn-wise) for not exercising yesterday.
