    My commitment today is to not eat past 7:00pm. I'm going to eat dinner as soon as I get home, cook dinner for my boyfriend (and my lunch tomorrow) then hit the gym. Over the weekend, time got away from me a bit and I ate dinner at 7:30 last night and caved and had a healthy snack at 8pm on Saturday night. NO MORE OF THAT! After 7pm, I will allow myself to have all the water I can stand and one cup of plain hot tea.

    My commitment for today is to do 45 mins Billy Blanks Cardio workout and some strength training when I get home. I just hope I have enough time as I have to attend a medical conference today :yawn:

    My commitment for today is to complete more reps during my am strength training and to stay on the treadmill for 45 minutes tonight, which should mean a little over 4 miles. I also want to walk to the garden up the road from my house with my daughter tonight to check out the tulip festival. To get there and back is almost 2 miles. If she decides to ride her scooter I might even get some extra running in.

    I've already completed my strength training this morning. Instead of doing one set of 12 reps of each move, I did two sets of 15 reps, then I had a little more time so I focused on my abs a little more. Part 1 of my commitment was a success!

    My commitment was to repeat yesterday's c25k day, which I just did. Yesterday, my husband WALKED along side me as I jogged. I am that slow! It was a wake up call to start picking up my pace.

    I pulled the trigger and ordered 3 JM DVDs, including 30 Shred. Excited to begin!

    I plan on getting in another 30 minutes on the treadmill later this afternoon.

    Now to get dressed and do my volunteer stint at the local senior center.

    I love reading everyone's commitment plan. I also love how everyone is so motivated to get things done.

    I got 20,000 steps in yesterday and loved the "light" feeling when I woke up this morning. Today I am going to prepare meals as per my plan and get at least 10,000 steps in.

    Today is gym day! I've been reading up on HIIT and am going to incorporate something into my routine today. I like the idea of the flat out running for 30 seconds then resting for 2 mins for a repetition of 5. Then I'll move over to weights. Today is arms, I might throw a little core work in depending on how exhausted I am from the cardio.

    Today was a swimming day, I managed 22 lengths today and really struggled but made it! It's not the 25 I was aiming for this week but I'm going to try and go Wednesday and Friday this week to up it to 3 sessions. I also walked to work as normal. My commitment today was to get up earlier and do some leg lifts before work, and I did that! Also did a boxing workout video on youtube instead of the normal aerobic styled one I always do, I burnt more calories in the same amount of time as the intensity was a LOT higher.
  • Go on a hike/run with the dogs after work for at least an hour and stick within my calories!

    Plan to drink water water water! And stick within my calories. To make 20 pounds by the end of June, I'm gonna have to push myself really hard EVERY week! I plan to do day 6 of 30DS (1/5 of the way there!!!) and housework! I'll try to walk at least a mile as well.

    I woke up at 4am this morning and did 30 minutes on the eliptical, followed by 30 day shred. Although I haven't posted anything in a few days, I met my calorie and exercise goals last week and I'm feeling good about my progress so far. I'll do my weigh in after I get the kids to bed tonight. It sounds like everyone is having a successful day so far! Keep up the great work!
  • Today's commitment is weight workout before work and soccer skills after. Even though I was really tired and in the middle of a dream when the alarm off this AM, I just put one foot in front of the other and got my butt to the gym this AM. I forgot my HRM and my shuffle for the PM, but I will not be thwarted!

    Have a great day everyone!!

    DID IT ALL!
    My friend couldn't make walk time, so I turned it into walk/jog intervals at home. Did my pushups and arm work out apps so now I am enjoying supper (MMmm beans lol) and then it is house cleaning time!

    For today's Commitment, I will go to the gym after work - and do 20 minutes on the exercise bike (for knee ligament physical therapy). Then, I will walk to Nordstrom to return 2 items. That's about 1.3 mile walk. Earlier today, I already walked the dogs 1.5 miles. However, I have been WAY overeating carbs for the past week.

    Work stress / and a ski injury in 2005 (broken arm/ nerve pain/ death of a beloved dog) is how I allowed myself to get really fat originally.
    Now, over the past 1.4 years I've worked REALLY hard at losing weigh in order to get back to within a normal weight range. And I don't want to give up now that I AGAIN have work stress and a second ski injury (torn knee ligaments).

    Now it's time to get back on track.
    Now there are just 4 weeks until my college reunion and 6 weeks to lose the 20 pounds that we have committed to doing.
    Thank heavens for this group or I would likely have continued being 'off track' tonight & tomorrow.
    Speak with you all tomorrow...

    Great job! Hills are tough...
  • Got up at 5 and did 30 slow pace rowing (have a broken leg, it sucks!) Tomorrow I'm going to add counter pushups and wall squats.
  • Just finished a quick run. Gonna bust out some planks during commercials...
    I was a little disappointed with my weight loss of 1.6 pounds this week, but last night I took my pic to compare with last week and the results are unbelievable. Thank God for MFP and all of my new friends! I never would have done measurements or taken my picture. The transformation in just one week was so motivating. I posted it on our shutterfly site if you want to have a looksie...
    I'm so encouraged for this week.
    Keep working hard everybody!!!

    I had no real workout commitment other than to get thru my physical therapy appointment and enjoying my birthday today. Still managed to get in 9000 steps since i had to do a walkdown of a facility at work.

    Well, I did complete 45 minutes on the treadmill tonight and did right at 4 miles. I don't feel like I really pushed myself very hard though, but I'm still happy with what I did. My daughter and I did also walk up to the tulip festival, so that was another hour of walking almost 2 miles. And I stayed under my original calorie goal and didn't use any of my extra calories earned by excercise. All in all it was a good day!

    I did squeeze the second workout, but only lasted 20 minutes. I'm pooped.
