    How ironic that the two people screaming the loudest about how you don't need a rest day and it's so great and wonderful to work out every day failed in the first six days. You guys couldn't even make it one week. That should be evidence enough to support that one rest day a week is a good idea.

    I wasn't aware I was SCREAMING, but it is somewhat ironic. So then, is it your hypothesis that my needing a break from exercise caused my mother's basement to flood, thus creating mold, thus causing an allergy flare up? I guess I see your point now. If you'd mentioned the mold earlier it would have been so much more clear.

    I'm a little late, but I'm in. Wednesday I only did two 15 min low impact aerobic sessions on my breaks at work. Yesterday I had the day off so I did the pushups, bench dips, and 2 Turbo Fire DVDs (HIIT in the morning and Cardio in the evening).

    Friday, 11/9 workout: 30 min aerobics, 15 min calisthenics (600 sqats - 100 per set - no weight).

    Saturday, 11/10 - 30 min aerobics (Turbo Fire), pushups and bench dips.

    Sunday - nothing :cry: Unfortunately, an allergy attack made working out ill advised yesterday. I'm still a little stuffy but hoping to at least get a light workout in today.

    Monday - 11/12 - 30 min of low impact aerobics.

    Today is pushups, bench dips and eliptical.

    I made it through another day; yesterday was my 8th day in a row meeting my definition of working out (at least 10K steps on my fitbit). Yesterday I made it to 20K - I walked several times, pushed myself with a treadmill workout, and did some strength training.

    today i did 30 minutes on the elliptical (resistance level 12 for 28 minutes, level 6 for 2 minutes) and then lifted some light weights for a few minutes afterwards :D i was soo tired on the elliptical for some reason, and i think it was because of the weather and it's getting dark out around 4 pm now :( BUT i pushed through so i'm super proud of myself!

    Completed a nice 5km jog with the dogs this morning. Have an event after work so likely will not be able to squeeze in my Pilates.

    I jogged and walked a few miles yesterday; not as far as I wanted to but I did exceed my 10K steps daily goal. So far today I've done some elliptical and treadmill work; had to avoid the rain this morning! I'm at work and plan to take a break and walk a mile. If I can manage not to forget, I plan to do some strength training when I get home tonight.

    Keep up the great work everyone, and welcome to the group mama78!

    I did end up going to zumba last night, so I burned like 800 calories in extra exercise yesterday, woot!

    Today morning aerobics video (34 mins) and walk to work and back (40 mins). Easy compared to yesterday! Yes it's darker earlier now, so I need to get a flashlight and mace for my walk home lol.
