Day by Day Challenge- part 2 (October)

So Saturday's goals:
1. Head to the gym before the day gets hectic. try to get in atleast 4miles.
(I did over 15 miles on the bike yesterday!!!)
2. eat sensible. I know its the weekend, but I still need to be smart so I don't undo the progress made all week.
(yes, had a few fun foods, but I measured them all)
3. continue drinking 9 glasses of water.
(I got close to 9)
4. Start thinking about what I want to pack for our trip. We don't leave until Thursday but I will procrastinate until Tuesday or Wednesday.
(nope, still haven't started. but I have an idea of what I'm taking)

Oh, I also got the cooking done for the next few days. It'll take the guess work out of what I eat.
I'll be on later to talk about Sunday's goals and to discuss my plan for Monday, which will probably be the same for most of the week.

Well I had some extra time, so I thought I would take the liberty to address the group one by one. Thanks to Nicole, we have become a tight knit little group over the past 30 days or so. So I just want to get to know the ones that joined us for October.

Jess, excellent job on meeting your goals. I'm raising a diva too. No daredevils, not yet, maybe in the future. My daughter likes to work out with me. Denise Austin has a cute kid workout video and she will do it for about 10 minutes. We like to do things like see who can do the most jumping jacks or who can jump rope the longest. We run sprints outside, like who can run to the 3rd tree the fastest. She is very competitive and an awesome swimmer. Does your gym have day care? Maybe while the princess is at school and the daredevil is napping you can squeeze in a workout video. But it seems like you have been doing great so far. your circuits seem very effective.

Hey Erin, I like breaking my workouts up too. Just feel like I can keep burning more calories all day long when I do it that way. What other workouts do you normally do? Have you been drinking extra water lately? I know that was one of your goals.

fitbot, do you go by your screenname or by another name? What's bikram yoga? Sounds interesting. I never realized how hard yoga was until I tried it. I have terrible balance! Was it hard for you to go without dairy or coffee?

Hi Karen, your plan to eat green sounds like a great one. That's one of the things that I'd like to do too. What type of exercises do you do? which one is your favorite?

kizzy- how long is that jillian kickboxing? I didn't even know she had a kickboxing dvd. I'll have to search around for that one.


Nicole, I hope you're feeling better and the antibotics start to make more than just your throat feel better. Have your roommate do your laundry. You need to rest. What type of preparations do you have to do for homecoming? Are you guys learning a new cheer? are you part of the committee that decorates and do the planning?

Nam, how was body combat? did you have a good time Saturday night?

Beth, I'm glad you have a good relationship with your MIL. I do too! I got the kitchen done and most of the laundry. What a steal on the shred dvd! I hope you like it. there are so many shred threads on here, maybe you can jump on there if you need support. Sim and I have both completed the 30 days of shred. But there are so many ppl on here that can relate to the pain and torture Jillian puts you through. So just a thought!

Sim, shopping with your daughter sounds like so much fun! That's one thing that I look forward to doing with my daughter when she is older. She is already a little shopaholic. I hope the rain stays away so you can shop 'til you drop. Bonus- walking around the mall burns calories! lol

Have a good night and a happy Monday!
