    I logged 40 mins of cardio today. Went to the Y and did an interval session on the treadmill. I also did 10 min of strength training. Haven't gotten all my water in yet for the day, only 4 or 5 glasses so far.

    Ok...my water is still way up there...I'm doing ok with my calories....but this week's challenge is ....my enemy. ;) Especially this week...I'm a little under the weather and hardly feel like being out of bed the thought of actually moving is exausting....So no one hold it against me for non-participation. :tongue: I keep trying to get going, but this cold is winning.

    So....ya'll keep it up....I do feel a little quilty each time I check and everyone else is posting their awesome numbers....maybe it will get me out from the covers and onto the eliptical ;0)

    Today was not my norm. I must have pulled something from stretching at home to getting to the gym and getting my son out I pulled something in my back.:noway: I went ahead with my workout thinking hopfully the pain will work itself out. Not such luck I was on the elliptical for 20 min when I gave up. Now I am home and its not so easy to move so not sure how I will do this week with the challenge I will try. Good luck all. I am drinking my water at least 8 glasses a day if not more. :happy:

    so sorry to hear this. Hope you get better soon.

    Awww... no fun for having a cold :ohwell: Even if you did 10 minutes of cardio, it might help you sweat the cold out of you... I know when I get sick, i feel HORRIBLE when I workout but I do a less strenuous workout, I break a sweat and feel better SO much faster. Don't let outside forces slow you down EVEN A PESKY Cold. Keep yourself hydrated and get lots of rest and you will feel much better... Take care!

    41 minutes on the elliptical for me!

    I'm so proud of those numbers guys! I can completely agree with the 30 day shred. I had planned on doing level 2 after the elliptical this morning, but as soon as I started doing it, I felt sick to my stomach and realized I might be pushing myself a little bit too far. My heart rate was above 200 :(

    WOW! Everyone is doing SO awesome this week! Sorry I haven't been on much this week.. It has been SUCH a busy week for me! You are all doing so so so wonderful! Keep it up and don't jump off the boards. If you are feeling like you just dont want to get on here because of the challenge, don't be self defeated! For everything we want, we have to work extra hard to get it!

    Today's mini challenge: What makes you feel good about yourself. Compile a list of things that make you feel good about yourself and share with all of us!

    :heart:

    PS, I got in another 60 minutes at the gym last night... So far, 195 minutes this week!!!

    I'd love to join. I'm a manic exerciser though I must warn you=) Training for a marathon. Not letting weight stop me.
    So do you all start your week on Sunday?

    prayerfulmom: We weigh in on Friday's and then start our new challenges on Saturday's :smile: How cool that you are training for a marathon. I would love to do the "Run to Feed the Hungry" with my fiance on Thanksgiving this year. Last year I had just had my son 5 days earlier and was still recovering from a C-Section :cry:

    Anyway, Welcome! This weeks challenge is right up your alley! It is our cardio challenge. Report your daily minutes and I will keep track!
