    My goal today is to practice planking... because I am terrible at them so far haha.... also, I want to go for a walk after work and work out a bit of the stiffness I am feeling today. Also, I am buying new sneakers today better suited to running! :)

    So nervous about weigh in on Sunday, my goal for today is to burn as many calories as possible. So far so good, I've sped up my walk to work and back this morning, gone to the gym and my plan is to do again do a quick walk to work this afternoon and a bit of a workout in the evening to burn a bit more off. ^-^

    :yawn: My goal is to sleep early tonight :yawn:

    My husband and I had zero sleep / all nighter helping our son catch up with a BIG project that he did for 1 day :embarassed: :mad:

    I want to walk today but I won't force myself if I am exhausted. I have self-love too! :flowerforyou:

    My goal today is to get in a bit of extra strenght training. I'm going to an extra set of leg and arm sets at the gym (after my cardio work out) and do AT LEAST 10 burpees when I get home. (I can't do those in public at this point! Someone might call 911...) lol

    Wish me luck! :)

    My goal today is pretty much the same as yesterday - I completed Level 1 Day 2 of 30 Day Shred this morning, then this evening I'll run for 45 minutes. My other goal for today is to stay on target for calories today. I usually don't have a problem with that, but today my boss is coming from out of town and is taking my team and I out for lunch, then I have pasta planned for dinner tonight. I'm pretty sure we'll go to an Italian restaurant for lunch, so it may be tough to find a meal that is low in calories. I'll just need to remind myself to eat slowly and stop when I feel satisfied!

    Burpees are the hardest things to do! They must burn a kajillion calories though. I won't be seen doing them in public either- the dogs look concerned when they are watching me do them in the basement!

    Good Morning Everyone!!

    I was a good girl. I packed my gym bag last night to make sure I had it ready for today. Little did I know that if I had not done that, I wouldn't have done it at all since I was late this morning. I overslept! Eeck!

    So since I am still nursing shin splints (which are finally starting to feel better, yay!) I am going to hit the gym for the elliptical and stationary bike. (I rather run outside, but I will wait another week before I run on these shins again..)

    Happy Thursday, and I am stoked for the weigh in....I think lol

    I was a total bum yesterday. Ate half way decent, but not a stitch of exercise... UGH! Guess that means yesterday was officially my rest day...
    Anyway, felt so bad about it, I got up this morning at 4:30 and busted out 4 1/4 miles on my treadmill...
    I promise I will also do planks tonight before bed.
    Go me...

    Today was supposed to be my C25K, but I couldn't pick my legs up! It's getting hot today and I'm pretty sore from 30DS. I started my training this morning, but ended up walking just over 3 miles instead of the walk/jog thing. Taking it easy for an hour and then I'll do Day 2 of 30DS.

    I'm concerned that my HRM is not giving me proper read outs. According to it and my heart rate, I burned around 740 calories on my walk, but MFP says 337. Big difference! Worried that I have been eating too much because of inflated calorie burns. :grumble:

    I think today I will either do some more P90X or some Circuit Training. I get a killer burn with both :bigsmile:

    I am actually excited about weigh in this week... last week no loss, but it motivated me to be more strict with everything all around. Last week hardly exercised, drank like a fish, & ate horrible.. so thats my own fault ! NEED to kick my drinking habit to the curb already!!! So this week has been some killer work outs (pushing myself like ca-razay!), no alcohol, and eating very healthy-packing my lunch & not eating out.

    Needless to say I am proud of myself... its been a tough week, & i've felt like having a drink or 4, but i worked out instead !! woo hoo

    Thursdays are my rest days. Sleeping an extra hour 1/2 was gorgeous this AM and I feel energized rather than tired like I've been the last couple days. My challenge today will be to eat well and stay under my cal goal. This will be extra challenging because I had a big burn yesterday and my appetite always kicks in the day after. So eating right will be key.

    Kick some booty today everyone!!!

    Since the rain has returned I will be visiting the gym tonight. I am hoping to put in a 4 mile jog and some weights. I say that now but when the time comes it may change! I am not looking forward to the weigh in, not confident like I was last week at all!!!

    Got to the gym and there wasn't a treadmill open so I biked for 20 minutes and then got on a treadmill for 25 minutes. I feel like that was a good day.

    Good Evening -- Kinda late to post for today's goal ... so my 5/3 goal is to:
    * push my steps to 10K (just shy today)
    * drink 2 more glasses of water (working my way to 100oz/day)
    * sign up for bike rental (towards my goal to bike work by end of month)

    Good luck all with goals on Friday :-)

    Went out hunting this morning which was more of a hike the hills trip, extremely busy at work then we had to go get supply for our concession stand that we have for this weekend at our schools' artsfest. Came home and hiked my stupid hill but in the pitch black of night and the stars out brilliantly, it wasn't stupid at all! I actually jogged a little tonite.

    Jogging under stars sounds awesome... In this city, I would be scared of getting mugged...yes, in Utah lol.

    I feel like today totally sucked, but maybe I'm being too hard on myself. As mentioned above, I completed Level 1 Day 2 of 30 Day Shred this morning, and I was REALLY sore all day - like to the point of walking differently and people noticing! I did get on the treadmill this evening for 45 minutes, but I walked a lot more than normal. I just wasn't feeling it. I still completed 3 1/2 miles though, so I guess that's still pretty good. It's the food part that sucked today. We did end up going to my favorite Italian restaurant for lunch, and instead of looking for something healthy, I ordered what I always get, ate all of it, plus 3 breadsticks and a salad. Then later I got a candy bar from the snack machine, then came home and had a decent portion of cheese ravioli. Tomorrow will be a better day!
