    My wii remote batteries are dead so I have to workout on my own! I was a little lost but I did 1 hour of steps and 20 minutes of jogging in place, plus cleaning and rearranging some furniture. Got my calories in, even though I wasnt very into it today. Feeling a little stuck right now, like im not doing enough or the right things, and getting a little frustrated. Tomorrow is another day though and hopefully Wednesdays weigh-in will show some progress.

    What has this challenge meant to me: It has helped me push myself a little harder than I normally would have. It's also held me accountable since I'm part of a team, I don't want to let anyone down by not holding up my part of the challenge. There have been a few times that I've set my goals to a level that was just not for me (Thanks Redheadhen for setting me straight), to complete them I burned myself out!! On the other hand, I pushed myself harder during my strength training and found that I could (and should) lift more than I was. I also have to remember than I just need to find the right balance and I CAN get the things that need to be done, done ( housework and such), and keep time for the things I want to get done ( cardio, strength training, & long hot showers).
