    I have to admit, I can do DVDs all day, but 30 minutes of swimming wipes me out! You should def. try it! Madalynne in this group is my inspiration there - she swims an hour or more almost every day!

    I hit it hard this morning, because I decided yesterday I wanted to try to get to under 200 by mid-April for my little brother's wedding.

    Did 30 Minutes on the exercise bike , 45 Minutes of strength training (Back/Arms/Shoulders) and then cooled down with 75 minutes of Barbara Benagh's "Yoga for Beginners" routines.

    I'm really lucky, timewise.

    I left my job at the end of last year mainly so that I could go back to my hometown for Christmas (I was a retail exec and hadn't been able to celebrate with my whole family in 8 years), but I chose to stay unemployed while I finish my MBA, get healthy, and take a few more trips before we make babies. I've always had a full plate - in high school I kept a 4.0GPA, taught taekwondo, and was asst. mgr at a DQ, I put myself through college and paid for my own apt and car working as a waitress and a bartender 40+hours a week, and professionally I would put in 60+ hour work weeks while keeping a full and crazy social calendar. I think I finally burnt out last year, and between being so overweight and having the stress of work AND school AND husband being deployed I kinda had a meltdown with some major anxiety/depression issues. Luckily, between my husband's paycheck, savings and student loans we can afford for me to take some time off, so my number one and number two priorities are my MBA and getting healthy again.

    I'm still BUSY; I have grad school, tutoring at the homeless shelter, an active role in the Junior League, lots of officer's wife responsibilities and a consulting project for a local startup, but I definitely have way more time than most people, and way less stress than I've ever had.

    Yikes! Knee injuries are the worst :frown: Glad you're feeling better. I really love the bike when dealing with injuries. I broke my ankle last year and the bike was my best rehab friend :wink:

    Doh, all those posts and I didn't post my workout.
    30 minutes on the elliptical (bike was taken:grumble:), 45 minutes of weight training (legs), and 20 minutes of yoga sun salutations. Was supposed to swim today but husband is working late and I have to meet for my consulting project tonight.

    yesturday I did some stress eating so to compensate I did my tae-bo took 30min walk and rode my bike for 45min and now my legs hurt and the junk food left me feeling sick. I believe the lesson for me is that stress eating isn't worth it next time I'll find something else maybe retail therapy I can window shop all day and not buy anything I just enjoy looking.


    Today feeling sick:sick: but I'm back on track Tae-bo and oatmeal this morning:happy:
