    ps missou - I did post yesterday morning being 6/7 and you commented on it. There are so many of us, I bet it's easy to miss one. Thanks for keeping track of us all:flowerforyou: It must be a lot of work. Scratch Lily's chin for me.

    I just noticed it. And to think I went over the posts several times to make sure I hadn't missed yours :laugh: :laugh: I must of been sleep walking. Then again, I just noticed the change in your avatar... I was looking for your face, not a kitty :laugh: :laugh: BTW, nice kitty!!!

    Ho well, I guess I should pay more attention to the names than to the avatars :tongue: It will show me :wink: :laugh:

    Congradulations on completing your 4th week!!

    I sure will scratch Lily for you, she adores it!!

    5 of you are now in the runnings for a perfect year. 3 of us are working on an almost perfect one. We are at -1 since we missed only 1 day's workout.

    Let's keep on going!!!

    Hi team,

    I'm reporting in for today and I'm at 6/7 for this week. I just got back from the gym and ran in the treadmill for 30 minutes, 10 on elliptical, and 30 minutes of strength training.

    Keep up the good work everyone!!!!!!!!!!

    Good morning ladies, I am 7/7 this week and have earned another point....WooHoo....WooHoo.

    I completed 55 minutes of the Kenpo-X dvd and feel pretty good despite a little soreness from yesterday's Plyometrics. More and more I beginning to feel like P90X is doable.

    While I will continue to exercise for the rest of the week I may take it a little lighter so I won't be too sore next week when I begin P90X. I know me and if I'm too sore I won't give it my all and I want to start off in the right direction. I'll play it by ear though and just see how I feel each morning.

    Happy Thursday all!

    >>>>>7/7<<<<<< YaaHooo
    I have done 4.5 miles in 40 minutes for 413 calories on the elliptical, and later when my grandson is napping I WILL do my P90X Stretch X workout !! I agree Debra, I yearn for springtime! We woke to 17 below but at least there is NO wind, yesterday was horrific! I am thankfull to who ever invented ellipticals and treadmills!!! Where do you live that your weather is like here in Montana? We were teased with springlike weather for about 2 weeks and I loved it!
    Good dedication everbody!!!

    Saxoldies has a day off from work today and we just finished working out together. He really is out of shape and he knows it. He tried the Gazelle and really liked the workout it gives. He also tried the AKP and found it a little ackward. In time, it will be easier. He also noted that he can work on the Gazelle in the morning when our daughter is still asleep in the next room since it is quiet. He is gradually starting to set his mind into a working out mode. That is good!!!

    As for me, I went on the AKP and on the treadmill. This evening, Saxoldies has to go out and I probably will do a DVD or go on the Gazelle, I haven't decided which.

    I am up to 7/7 this week and Saxoldies is up to 4/7. Maybe he will do a 7/7 in a near future... I hope so :happy:

    Good morning my workout buddies! Despite feeling absolutely CRAPPY due to TOM cramps and a stuffy head, running nose, sniffling, sneezing head cold type of thing going on this morning I climbed out my bed and completed today's workout. Since I didn't have alot of energy I decided to take it easy this morning and completed 3 miles of Leslie Sansone "5 mile fat burning walk" dvd for a total of 36 minutes. It helped rejuvenate me just a tad bit and now i'm enjoying a hardy bowl of oatmeal which I'm hoping will add to my energy level.

    I also have officially MET MY GOAL WEIGHT and have actually exceeded it by a pound and i'm super excited.

    Chocolickkyss: 1/7


    I have to really thank you Missou for this challenge b/c there would have been NO WAY I would have climbed out my bed to do ANY TYPE of exercise if it had not been for this challenge. I really like the idea of constantly moving regardless of the intensity b/c any type of movement is healthy.

    Thank you ladies for the support.

    Great News with meeting your goal weight Choco....woo-hoo, you go girl!!:flowerforyou:

We got teased with Spring like weather a couple of weeks ago, then had some ice...yesterday is was 11* with a wind chill that tore you up, last night it dipped to 4*, but at least the wind stopped for the moment and tomorrow it may hit 25*...woo, hoo heat wave...:laugh: :laugh:

    Hi team,

    choco- Congratulations on reaching your goal!!!!!!!!! Your hard work payed off!

    I'm at 1/7 this week and just got done with Jillian Michaels' banish fat boost metabolism and ab ripper x for a total of 65 minutes. Today was one of those days that I was just not motivated to do this, but I thought of this challenge and of you guys, and that pushed me through. Thanks guys!

    Have a great friday!

    Choco congrats on reaching your goal weight. I wish you could help me lose some of mine but what would be the fun in that.

    Pinbotchick congrats on finishing C25K. Are you going to do the gateway to 8K next?


    1/7 The Firm 500 calorie burn for 60 min.

    1/7 !!!
    My back is not feeling the best today so instead of doing my P90X Core Synergistics I hopped on the elliptical for 50 minutes and did some fitball crunches! While on the elliptical I watched the "Hunch Back Notre Dame" with my little guy!! I almost did NOT do a workout today but I'm glad I did now, the back does feel better.

    My training schedule is changed from now on. Instead of doing my exercises during the day, I will now do it with Saxoldies when he comes back from work. It is a very good idea for him, it motivates him... It motivates me too. I will also try to do a DVD earlier in the day, when he is at work. When he has music practices in the evening, we will do our training in the morning before his work.

    Today, we both went on the AKP and on the Gazelle. We are both up to 1/7!!

    Great job everyone. I am happy that this challenge is as motivating for you as it is for me. We are a good team. Let's keep it up.

    Since I do not get as much sleep as I should, thank you Lily, I went back to sleep this morning until noon. A little later, my daughter was involved in a car accident. Thank God, she is not hurt and her car is not damaged, but she was in shock. This afternoon was obviously all about her. She needed to talk and to rest. I will go over the posts tomorrow morning.

    Sleep thigh and sweet dreams!!

    Good morning ladies, I still feel like crap but I did get up and get the workout in. I completed 2 1/2 miles of the Leslie Sansone dvd for a total of 30 minutes. I wanted to take a minute to log in but now its back to bed for some well needed R & R.

    Chocolickkyss: 2/7

    Hope everyone has a great day!

    Choco - sorry you feel so bad, get some sleep

    Missou - thank goodness she is ok, the rest is nothing!

    Sorry I didn't post last night, another marathon day, got some really crappy stuff going on at work, but I did stop in our gym at 1130 last night and did 30 minutes on the stationary bike.

    When does the week start? Friday, right? That makes me 1/7.
