    Anu- What a pretty name! You don't have to do calves if you don't want, I'm just including all those things in mine!

    Also, I found this while browsing for some strengthening routines:

    Every routine needs a good shake-up, say our pros. Do 12 to 15 reps with light weights one day, 8 to 10 reps with moderate weights another, and 6 to 8 reps with heavier ones another -- scientists agree this firms better than doing the same ol' sets.

    Hi everyone - I'm back from my spa weekend without children and husband. I feel great and re-energized. While I was there I did make it to the gym (amazing what a little alone time can do for you!) and while on the treadmill had a personal best of running for 15 minutes straight! (total 45 minutes/inline/brisk walk and running)
    Anyway - I'm back this week and will be posting a little more regularly

    HUGE VENT WARNING
    Okay, okay, I slacked off during September... but why should I be paying such a high price?
    I can't say I didn't exercise. I can't say I pigged out either... so how can I have gained 13 pounds in 1 month?:grumble:
    So October rolled in and I'm up near 700 HOURS of working out for the MONTH... and I still HAVE NOT lost 1 pound!!! :angry: How is it possible? I'm thinking it's time for another look at what is going on with me physically. Because really - 13 pounds in 1 month is outrageous.:explode:

    So I didn't lose anything this week, BUT in some ways I did (I think in the end it was like .5 which actually brought me down to exactly 181.0--- and i feel like im carrying some water weight but alas). And-- while I thought I would be discouraged--- I am not. Why? because my weight used to flux SO much up like 2 lbs a day and then back down (sometimes). But this week I started to see my weight keep pretty steady. So i don't carry as much water weight as normal. Only about .5--- and I am starting to feel better-- haven't smoked for like three weeks AND am starting to see the toning in my face, and feel the change in my skin. All the toxins getting out of my body. I have learned to enjoy cooking, and even though I don't want to to go to the gym anyways. I am starting to actually EAT as many cals as I need for a day, and NOT being scared of eating 1000 cals a day. :)

    So all in all, it's been a good week and I honestly expect to see some lbs and more toning in the next week or so.

    Happy Monday everyone!

    Courtney 295.6 (-1 lb)

    I was kind of frustrated when I got on the scale this morning, only a 1 lb loss, but oh well I guess. I only got a few hours of sleep and my entire last week has been screwy. I'll take 1 lb over no pounds!

    Jessica- I got your measurements! Will be putting them in a spreadsheet this morning! Along with anyone else's I get.

    Just out of curiousity, what does everyone's strength training routine look like? I can't decide what to do lol. I know I'm probably going to be switching it up every month to keep my muscles guessing, just kind of at a loss as to where to begin.

    Jeannie- The couch to 5k program is basically a way to train your body to start running! There is a 9 week program out there, but I just started the 7 month program today. It is VERY doable. The first day you just walk for 10 minutes. It slowly transitions you from walking 30 min to running 5k! If you'd like the info I can send you a calendar with the different phases!

    Ok, so I found this awesome spreadsheet someone already made for weight loss progress. It's super easy for anyone who wants to keep track of their weight. It keeps track of BMI, total weight loss, how much till goal weight. You enter your starting date and it will automatically adjust the dates 7 days apart, your height, your goal weight. Here's a link, all it does when you enter the link is download the spreadsheet. If you want to do this but don't have excel, I can do it for you if you like. Let me know!

    Great Job to everyone this wk especially Tiff...Awesome job!!! But I think we all did an amazing job.

    Courtney - I do Body Works classes at LA Fitness, 2-3 times a week. It consists of Biceps, Triceps, Shoulders, Back, Lunges, Squats, Ab Exercises, Lower Ab Exercises, Leg Workout and everything else...its great. All i know is doing 3 sets (8 reps/12 reps/16 reps OF 5LBS TO 7.5 lbs is working great for me). Plus doing it in a class setting is so motivating. Hope that helps.
