Good morning all of you exercisers out there! It's definitely time to get down to business as a new year approaches. We are all going to be so much healthier by the time this year ends... what a great finish!

I didn't do any 'formal' exercising yesterday. My frenzy of Black Friday shopping (which started with me leaving the house at 3am) left me with a VERY swollen, painful ankle. I guess that means I was on it alot. And, my arms are burning like I was lifting some intense weights but it was just me holding my purchases in lines forever. I'll see what I can do today. I'm still limping around really badly when I do make myself get up and move around. This might just be a rest day and I'll get back to it tomorrow. We will see...

+++POSITIVE THOUGHTS+++!!! :flowerforyou:

    Niccole,
    Black Friday:noway: ! You are one brave woman. Here in Fresno, there were reports of tug of wars, stealing from each others carts, and ramming people:angry: .
    I think you should get credit for a workout for going out there and battling the sales:drinker: . Maybe Mike can add a Black Friday on the exercise chart??
    You take care of that ankle and thank you for the motivation.
    I worked out yesterday for a hour and a half. Today I am going back to make up for missing Thurs. I plan on swimming for 2 hours.
    Have a great day, and once again thank you for the motivation.:flowerforyou: :happy: :flowerforyou: :happy:

    I live near Fresno, and yes, Black Friday was horrible. I didn't go shopping at all, but I watched the news. People were getting arressted for fighting, it was HORRIBLE. So I am amazed that you would go. Good work!
    I just started this site yesterday, and already I am amazed at the simpleness of it. I can easily record my foods and it actually motivates me! I'm on the treadmill for an hour and a half, then I realize, WHOA, I'VE BEEN ON THE TREADMILL FOR 6 MILES! (Good thing I kept 2 bottles of water right next to the treadmill.
    All in all, this site is great. Good luck to everybody!

    Today:
    25 minutes on treadmill,
    Going for another 20 later
    Then going to play my violin and cello for about 20 minutes each.

    Yesterday was the gym walking for about 45 minutes uphill and some weights.
    Really tired now after driving in the cold rain for 5 hours. Took way too long to drive today.
