    I want to increase my push ups and pull ups by 15% of what I'm currently doing.....that's difficult for me.

    My plan for today is to get in 10,000 steps (about 5miles) along with 10 floors climed on my fitbit.

    I would like to increase the speed at which I walk/run.

    I want to stop feeding my feelings, specifically with breads and sweets. Did pretty well with it this weekend. Just need to be more aware that food will not feed my emotional state at the time.

    I plan on getting a walk in after work, and starting Day#1 or the '100 Pushups' app I have on my phone. Also, it is Day#2 of my non-dairy/gluten diet so I am going to stick with that as well. Here is to a fabulous Day#2 for everyone!! :)

    I've met my plan already with swimming, I wanted to increase the speed that I do 20 laps which I managed from 23 minutes to 20 minutes today, I even managed to add on another 2 laps, so I'm happy with that. The rest of the plan for today is to meet my calorie goals, walk to work and back this afternoon and do some exercise in the evening to finish the day off ^-^

    Admittedly, I have to write 8 pages, give a final presentation and grade 5 papers, so I will not be going to the gym. But it is a mile and a half to school, so I will be walking to school and back, and at some point during the day walking to Starbucks, which adds another mile. (So 4 miles walking all together!)

    Today I am going to do Day 2Week 2 of P90, plus I am going to run a 5k this evening. (Charity event for the Boston Marathon Tragedy). I feel a little run down, perhaps I pushed myself too hard last week getting up at 3am just to work out, so I have nixed that idea. I will find time after work to work out.

    I would like to run 4.5 miles when I run, which is 4x - 5x a week. Right now I can do 4.25 between walking\running, in about 50 minutes. If I can do 4.5 miles walking\running in 50 minutes that would be an accomplishment!!!

    Way to go everyone on their first day. Keep it up!!!

    This morning - could not get up at 4am to go to the gym.......did not get to bed last night until 10:30 (which is WAYYYYY past our bedtime - LOL). However, I am off to a great start. Had yogurt and a banana for breakfast. I have to be at my part-time bookkeeping job this evening AFTER my 9 hours of my regular job, so I don't think there will be any time for a workout. My plan is get to bed on time, and be ready for that alarm to go off at 4am tomorrow morning.........will be back in the game!

    Happy Monday all!!!!

    Just like yesterday, I'm going to enjoy the nice weather and take a 30 minute walk in the park with the dog (a little arm exercise, haha).
    Planning to eat fish for lunch, and to stay within my allowed sugar amount today.

    I was wondering how long you would be able to keep doing the 3 am workouts. That's the middle of the night!:) I just can't get up that early.

    Going to a runing clinic. (10 week program designed to help people start running, ending with a 5K on May 11. We meet twice a week. Haven't missed a clinic yet)

    Then doing Insanity Day 2 when I get home.

    I'm going to be one tired girl by the end of the day.

    I did some strength training this morning before work, then I'll run at least 3 miles tonight after my daughter goes to bed. I'm doing my first 5k of the year this Saturday, so I'm going to push myself each night this week to run the full three miles without walking, then give my legs a break on Friday so I'm ready on Saturday!

    I missed my 5 am alarm to get up and go to the gym today :( So sleepy!! So over my 30 minute lunch I'm going to go walk and climb stairs. Tonight, I will walk the dogs and get my husband to go jog/walk with me for another 30 minutes or longer.

    Have a great day all!!!:smile:

    Today, my goal is to officially start this journey! Somehow I missed that yesterday was the start date with the group, but I joined MFP a few days ago and my "no more excuses" date has been today.... so here I am and will do what I can.

    As for a specific exercise goal, I plan to get out and walk 3 miles whether it's in the neighborhood or ends up being on the treadmill.
