My legs were a little sore but I felt great today, I may get on it and do the stag 1 of the aerobic. My bike has 3 programs, a 8 week weight loss program, 16 aerobic exercise, and 16 performance exercises, so I want t work them all :-) But the 8 week weight loss program is 3 routines a week, so I plan on doing them Tues Thurs and Sat every week until I complete it. I will check in tonight as well :-)

    How do I feel about my day? busy day at work, home, had tacos for dinner, so yummy. I'm totally PMSing and everything did NOT satisfy me today...I wanted to eat everything!! So all things considered I feel I did well. Got on the stationary bike for week 1 day 2 of my 8 week challenge my bike has. It was MUCH to easy so I put on some rock/metal and pedaled to music (which is pretty fast, lol) I put on Avenged Sevenfold channel on Pandora and it was: A7X, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Disturbed, A7X again, and to end it with Metallica, just AWESOME! All fav bands of mine, and I pumped it out!! I feel great :-) top speed was like 18 mph, lowest 10

    How do I feel about my day? welp this weekend starts my new work schedule so I will be working a full day Sunday! I'm looking forward to it because that means I will have a 3 day weekend every other week (off set by a 1 day weekend every other week) I wanted to get my biking in today instead of tomorrow since I will probably be doing fun stuff with the baby and hubby and busy up my day. I'm feeling a lot of energy from getting back into the swing of things. I'm also pumped that I lost a lb for weigh in today :-D Hoping to see more people posting!

    How do I feel about my day? was the only clinician at work today b/c of the holiday. I was ON FIRE and got alot done, but def got a lot of catching up to do tomorrow. I'm pooped and can't wait for Thursday, since Friday I will have OFF! woooo!! Although having worked a full day on Sunday will take some getting used to. But today, reflecting on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I realize I'm living his dream, helping the less fortunate, building the new generation, teaching tolerance and acceptance of all. God bless him and may he RIP. I hope he looks upon us smiling with the progress we made but putting a fire in the hearts of others to continue to make positive change.

I also have had 2 very busy days at work, but tomorrow it'll be a little easier on me. I'm hoping since I'm posting more people will come back and post again or new people will join!

    How do I feel about my day? I need to get back to checking in every day and doing challenges, I've plateau'd too long and I need to lose more before SUMMER gets here. I'm also heading to Myrtle Beach the end of May and I'd like to be closer to onederland than where I am now. I'll be checking in tonight. I'm hoping others will start to do the same!

    How do I feel about my day? Welp, my mom is sick with a pneumonia and she is who primarily takes care of my daughter. So for the next two weeks I'm working on second shift because I don't have vacation time to use since I'm already using it next month for a WELL deserved vacation. So I'm spending the day with my daughter which is great, but then I'm not seeing my husband except for a few minutes which sucks....:-( Oh well, at least it's temporary! A friend of mine does this all the time, I don't know how she can! I'm made I forgot my crunches, but, I'll get them in tomorrow!

    How do I feel about my day? just enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL weather today with my daughter :-) she HATES going back inside after playing outside, just like her mommy, but a girl's gotta eat to play! It's weird working second shift, I miss my husband, but it's only temporary. I'm managing to continue to eat under cal even though I'm home during the day. I'm usually a grazer at home, but the kiddo is keeping me busy. And yard work! Can't wait for the flower to start coming in :-)

Going to post tonight as well and get back on track. It's just been tough to do it when I've been working 2nd shift since my mom has a pneumonia. hopefully she'll be better soon, hasn't almost been 3 weeks of her being sick!

    Was over cal 2 days ago, and under cal count yesterday. I've been so exhausted getting home from 2nd shift, that I didn't post. But I plan on posting tonight :-) I've got a tasty baked chicken dinner cooking for when the hubby comes home :-)

    Did I follow my diet today? under cal with activity
    Did I drink enough water? plenty
    Cardio: (what and how long) softball for an hour and 1/2 min
    Abs: (any ab work and how much) none
    Challenge completed? I'll post one Friday, but for now, just being under cal is my goal
    Did I take my vitamin? before bed as usual
    How do I feel about my day? welp, I got hit in the face with a ball at softball tonight from a bad bounce. I had a decent game though, got on base nearly every time I was up. We lost, but it was still a fun game. I'll be sad when the season is over (in which case that may be next week). Hoping that I can get more active with other things, take the kiddo for walks in her carriage, and maybe going back to using EA Active on the Wii, as that had helped me so much in the past. I'm sick of being on a plateau and want to make my goal of getting into ONEderland
