    Wonderful news from everyone! You are really making things exciting to track (at least for me!) Keep it going!

    Round 3, day 9
    Sleep - Thought about hitting the gym after a nap due to being on the short end, but didn't wake up until the next morning! So, it'll be interesting today (6-11-13).

    @ bjune - Nice day 10 for you! You are doing awesome! Nice variety in your exercise, which helps keep everything fresh.

    @ jezy - Nice restart for you. Rest days are good, just try not to make them the only thing that happens, which you won't do. While you are at it, don't send yourself into burnout either. That winds up being a bit too counterproductive.

    Round 3, day 10 -
    Marathon day (I can't seem to keep this from happening, so I just accept it and roll with the flow)
    50 minutes or so with the weights - mostly at a circuit training pace
    45 mins in the pool - only completed 1400 m (400 m free stroke and back stroke, 600 m breast stroke) Too tired after the weights to even TRY butterfly today.

    Day 11 (6/11): Step class.
    Instructor was on overdrive last night! I was soaking wet at the end. 1 hour straight of hardcore stepping! I wish I had on a HR monitor. I'm pretty sure I burned well over 700 calories.

    @ etaylor - that sounds lovely! You are doing fantastic!

    @ bjune - Sounds like you've got a great instructor. If you aren't positive about your burn, I've had a couple of people refer me to fitclick.com to confirm calorie burns if MFP looks too high/low.

    http://www.fitclick.com/how_many_calories_burned

    Type in the activity you are looking for, then it should ask you for weight, and such not. Plug in your numbers, and click search again. Then look at the list that pops up. It will have the estimates towards the middle of the line entries (really small, kind of a light grey on my screen, but legible). Compare this to what MFP gives you. And, if you STILL aren't positive, average the two. I've had to do that a couple of times for my garden weeding and/or seed planting.

    For me - Round 3, day 11
    Got wrapped up in reading for fun, so missed the gym. Made up for it with a vengance with the kinect Zumba and Adventures (high impact aerobics!) 20 mins of each

    Round 3, day 12

    Another marathon day - had to argue to get a lane in the pool today. The school is currently playing host for an outside swim team who's pool is out of commission for the summer. And, thanks to all the tornadoes that have ripped through Oklahoma, they were doing a fund raising "swim-a-thon" and hogging the whole blasted pool instead of being nice and leaving at LEAST one lane open for students! (::Shakes fist at the team coaches!:: Meanies!)

    When I DID finally get in, I was so aggrivated that I wound up swimming 30 minutes at a hard HIIT rate (all out free style down, breast stroke recover on the way back, repeat.) THEN I finally cooled off enough in the head to realize I was trying to kill myself, so slowed down for a normal series of sets. (400 m each of free style, back stroke, breast stroke, butterfly). Now I'm just about out on my feet from having to wear out my temper before I could actually get my swim in. Hope tomorrow is better, even though it is a planned marathon split between weights and swim!

    WOW! I should have checked with the spell correct before I posted this. It should read 3.5 mph for another 22 mins.

    @ jezy - way to get back on track! Nice variety for days 1 - 4. Keep it going, and I look forward to your check in on Monday.

    @ etaylor - A little late, but best wishes for your 5K. ::chuckles:: I didn't even catch the mistype until you quoted it. Good job!

    @ bjune - nice distance! I tip my hat to anyone who is working on (or currently is) running. I'm either not coordinated enough (can't untangle my feet) or else I wind up pushing too far, too hard too fast and wind up burning out. (I can sprint for my life, but that's about it!) Keep it going one foot in front of the other.

    Round 3, day 13

    Was supposed to be a rest day, but felt too guilty not hitting the gym, so I kicked on the x-box and worked through a beginner zumba session (20 mins) followed by approximately 20 mins of the kinnect adventures. Probably not the smartest thing to do - knees started talking to me before the night was out, letting me know they weren't happy!

    Round 3, day 14

    Meant to get a rest day in yesterday, and missed, so took it today and gloried in it.
