    30 minutes on the eliptical, 30 minutes of swimming, and I'll throw the 30 day shred in later (...level... 3) to get in my strength training.

    Considering how bad of a mood I was in at work I'm in a good one now. Had a god dinner too!

    Finally figured out my NSV's

    1. To get 8 hours of sleep, and go to bed at the same time every night.
    2. Get ready for the next day the night before, ie cloths, lunch, you get the idea.

    That's it for now I may add some things later.

    Welcome to all the newcomers and good luck on your journeys.

    Drank 11 glasses of water today. Did not do well with NOT eating after 9...

    Went swimming with my daughters today for about 3 hours. I am not swimming the entire time. I am diving left and right after kids, swimming sometimes, holding and bouncing...I logged the a third of the time as water aerobics. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    I just about started to cry when i realized i think im the heaviest person in this group... very embarrassing for me but just might be a big wake up call to get me moving...

    No crying allowed!!! :wink: We all come in different shapes and sizes. And weight is just a number, you also have to look at height and bone structure. If you're the heaviest, that means you will lose the most so there :tongue:

    Just saw what this week's challenge is.

    Water @ 10 cups/day = 2/7
    Weights = 0/7

    I will try to incorporate some weights tomorrow. Oh, they are soooo NOT my favorite!!!

    Did fine with the water and worked out with weights in this morning's cardio class. My NSV--No eating after 9PM--I was stuck in a meeting until 9:40PM....and I have over 500 cals left for the day....and the hubby and I always have a granola bar while going over the days events....and I'm hungry.....BUT, I will keep this promise to myself.

    I've done good with the water so far and added weights Monday, but not yesterday. Does anyone else feel like they get more thirsty when they drink more water? I kept waking up last night feeling so parched! Oh well, I know its good for me.

    So I think my body is trying to tell me to stop running. My knees are really acting up, lots of popping and random pains while walking down stairs, etc which I know is a red flag. I also barely could force myself through 30 minutes last night and I usually go at least 40. I think I really only ran about 15 and walked the rest. So I will listen to what my body is saying, but here's my delima-I don't have a gym membership, I don't own a bike, and I can only get to the lap time at the pool on weekends so what am I going to do for cardio?! I'm moving to a new place in 3 wks that has a gym in the apartment complex with elipticals but in the meantime I just don't know what to do! Will switching to walking be enough exercise? It seems like lowering the intensity of my cardio would not be good, anyone know about this? Or is it enough just to keep with the old calories in/calories out?

    emariec78 - the knee stuff is rough. How are your shoes? If you are not properly fitted for running shoes it can make issues worse. Other than that, take it easy and walk until you can get on a bike or something less impact.

    ***no weights with my workout last night. Was playing tennis. It was in one of those bubble dome things and about 90 deg and humid out = sweating my *kitten* off!! I for sure drank my 10 to just stay hydrated.
