    Morning All. Last day off work. Boo to going back tomorrow!
    My goals are to stay under my calories, drink lots of water, and I have to check my 30 Day challenge, it may be a rest day. If it is a rest day I may still play my Wii Just Dance. Most of my meals are already planned today, except lunch. I also need to get all my stuff together to go back to work tomorrow and plan my food for work lunches.

    Cheers Team Ed

    What are Monster Sets? Are those the strength building exercise you said you were going to tell me about?

    My goal for today is to still make it to the gym and get a decent workout in, even though I'll be on little to no sleep. This night owl thing has it's downsides.

    Monster sets (or Giant sets, ppl call them all kind of crazy things) are awesome. You target all the upper body muscles. You can also do legs but they need to be at the beginning. But you do a set of 10 for each body part. It needs to be the heaviest you can do 10 reps at. You dont rest. You just go straight to the next set and do 10. After you have done all the sets (covering shoulders, back, triceps, chest, biceps, etc) you take a 30 second rest. Then you start all over again but lower the weight 10 pounds. Do all your sets then 30 seconds to rest and start again. Then you are done. You do this twice a week (no more) and do it for 4 weeks. Then its a min of 2 weeks off and you can do it again. The next day your muscles are still popping!

    Joined a new gym yesterday and have my first session with a PT tomorrow, so need to think about what I really want to achieve!

    Setting goals is very important. Even a goal of just "better overall health" is awesome!

    Good morning all! My goals for today are to drink more water, Wii for at least 15 minutes (without getting dizzy or nauseated!), watching my sugar and fat intake, and staying under my allotted calories! Good luck to all!

    My day is almost over. =^_^=
    I stayed under my cals today, actually even a bit too far under, but well. One day won't hurt.
    I got lots of water in, which is actually never a prob for me.
    Yesterday I said I wanna start my workouts again today. And even though I hear my couch calling my name, I will go and do my Zumba right now, mostly because I promised yesterday that I will do it. So I can honestly say this Team already helped me to get back on track.
    See ya all later, it's time to shake that booty LOL

    Reporting in.

    Did my 1st turbo session with my new training buddy. We used one of those cycling training dvds and used a mountain climbing one. Spent just over an hour chasing some of the worlds best riders up the hardest climbs.

    Im going to be over my calorie goal due to not eating enough after yesterdays exercise and having to eat at 2am because i couldn't sleep.

    Must remember to eat properly after a hard training session.

    Hope everyone has had a good day, i know i have. Off to collapse now. :)

    Good Afternoon everyone!
    Home from work, only at 551 calories and 7 waters down.

    Today is "supposed" to be a rest day.
    I'm following this running schedule:
    http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/marathon-training-schedule.html
    (chart is at the bottom of the page)
    FWIW I don't think I will ever actually run a marathon, it's more just to keep me on track with easy days, long days, rest days, etc.
    But who knows. That could eventually be a long term goal of mine.
    Right now, goal for this year is to enter a 5K and run the whole thing no walking. Once I accomplish that I'll raise it to a 10K and we'll see from there!

    But even though it's a rest day I still feel like doing something. It should be something that doesn't involve my legs much though, so it doesn't mess with my running schedule. Maybe yoga/stretching, and abs...

    Good morning everyone! :drinker: Having my first glass of water for today (need 7 more at least).
    I'm about to do my yoga for today.
    Need to check out the menu for O'Charley's...and hope that there is something I can eat (lunch with my best friend today...yay!)
    Those are my only goals for today...first day back to a normal schedule after 2 1/2 week break...need to ease back in slowly...especially with only 3 hours of sleep last night.
    Good luck everyone on meeting your goals for today!

    Okay...so my day hasn't gone as planned. Started off well...did my yoga, have had 4 glasses of water so far, ended up eating fish for lunch (salmon)....so I reverted to pescatarian for today....not gonna happen again. Then I went to my local trail...sprained my ankle and my knee is killing me. So...I may not be doing anything physical for the next few days. :sad: :angry:

    The only good thing is that I haven't slipped on my resolution for the year. Yay!
