in Fitness and Exercise
Good morning MFP! It's Wednesday! Half way through another week. Keep up the GREAT work with your exercising! You've got a HOT bod to sculpt!

I rode my bike for 36 min at a vigouous pace last night during the Biggest Loser. My 3 year old was so funny. While we were watching he got us each a set of hand weights. So, I'd sit and do various things with them then he'd say, "Okay, drop one weight now" then after a little while "okay, pick up that other weight now" - I just thought it was cute that he was using things they have said in various workout dvds I've done...

Anyway, +++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou:

ps For those of you that are new and wondering about our challenge... We each set a FITNESS goal (there is a weight loss challenge on another message board) and check in here daily to let the others know how we are doing. There is some WONDERFUL support here for those days that you just can't get motivated or with any questions or suggestions. I check in in the morning from my exercise the previous day, others check in with their exercise for that day. You can do it either way! Join us!

    Yesterday didn't feel like working out but I did 30 minute Taebo abs, and that made me pretty sore.
    Today I am going to do a Taebo basic work out then Taebo upper body...about 60 minutes total. Need to get off the board and start doing it though!:tongue:

    :happy: Checking in. Went to the Dr. yesterday for a checkup and was I happy. Lost 11 lbs since my last visit...bp was 116/78 yea! and really felt great. Dr. was happy too. Did my 2 tai chi classes last night and my 1 tai chi class this morning. I also went out and did 15 min of mod rowing on the row machine. Making progress and having fun. Positive Thoughts!

    Split an hour in two doing 1/2 hour strength training on my own and then 1/2 hour working with my stability ball. The lady on the video does her exercises pretty fast and I have a hard time keeping up with her. I hope I get used to it because i'm not very thrilled with it so far. maybe later tonight I can talk my daughter into aerobics. But I am meeting my goals so far.

    Still feeling a little sick, so taking one more day off from my hard-core spinning class.

    Today I took a half hour walk with my (20 lbs today, yikes!) backpack, then came home and did an hour of my yoga "total stretch dvd", as my whole body hurt. Also did a short weight for upper body workout.

    Now that I write that out, that wasn't easy at all.:flowerforyou:

    Hey everyone I've just joined the challenge on the 7th but I have already lost a pound. I am really excited about this I am starting a walking club at my work. I am trying to get everyone in on eating healthy.

    60 min on gazelle (about 800 cal) and no fried food or pop today! Yipee :wink: Now if I can just get past these PMS chocolate cravings, all will be good.

    Why are we all in "kicks my butt" mode? If someone can figure out a way to help us be all "happy, happy, joy, joy" as we were going into the holidays, let me know! I'm getting depressed :laugh:

    Today I did 60 minutes on the elliptical and I did strength training with my personal trainer another 60 minutes...I have been in the gym doing strength training and cardio everyday for the past week....with the exception of 1 day....monday...had to go register for classes....that took a lot longer than I expected...and after shelling out $400 for book....well I didn't feel like doing anything!! I did, however, stick to my diet plan...so I am not doing too bad! :smile: I'm not sure if I've lost any weight, I'm trying to stay off the scales. I'll let you know as soon as I get on the scales. It discourages me if the numbers don't look like I think they should....I'm feeling good about this and I'm motivated right now.

    Good Job everyone!! Keep it up!!

    :flowerforyou: Positive Thoughts will help with the "kick my butt" stuff. I remind myself everytime I get on the rowing machine how much I love myself and I love the exercise that is helping to make my body, mind and spirit to be the very best it can be. I smile, laugh, and sing while I row. I send love and positive thoughts to everyone this morning. Hugs from kckat96 :heart: :happy:
