    An hour of walking and hiking outside. It was gorgeous out, and the great weather motivates me.

    Ahhh, like every other day zero..... Help! Something has to motivate me to do my training, other than I paid for the downloads. Would I be loosing lbs or inches with the workouts? I kinda think they are for firming up, which I sure could use as well. Never ever been athletic, not too coordinated either.

    Landscaping for 3 1/2 hours - wrestling with a little rototiller that was jumping all over should have jiggled some fat off my arms. ;) Hauling bricks and stones, digging, raking, sweeping. Whew! Plus, I just got back from a 30 min. walk. Over 1,400 calories earned from exercise today. :)

    Ahhh, like every other day zero..... Help! Something has to motivate me to do my training...

    @adpalangi--A couple of things come to mind. I invite you to consider thinking of "movement" rather than "exercise"; you already move, right? Add just a little more movement...like leg lifts while you brush your teeth; or doing standing pushups and leg stretches using the kitchen countertop while you wait for coffee to perk; or one of my faves--trade your desk chair for a stability ball...yes, even your office chair. You'd be amazed at how fast your core muscles will tighten up maintaining an upright position on the ball!

    Also, find a movement buddy--neighbor, friend, colleague, dog...you are less likely to blow off a walk if someone else is counting on you.

    Lastly, I find that thinking of what Ideal Me would do is motivation enough to get me out the door, or to release my death grip on a cookie. Ideal Me is the 6 months in the future Me...not a Perfect Me, but a Me who feels toned, flexible, healthy, strong, and lean(er). Ideal Me chooses fresh, tasty, and beautiful foods as fuel. Ideal Me honors the temple of her Soul by choosing to maintain her body in optimal condition. Being drawn forward by that vision is inspirational, aspirational, and motivational for me.

    I started with a 15 minute walk warm-up! Then I did a ten exercise workout for strength training. Then last but not least I did interval training on the elliptical machine! I killed it today!!!

    Today I will be doing day 3 of P90X3. Over the weekend I spent 3 hours shoveling and spreading mulch for my in laws. I got a great workout and their yard looks terrific!. On Sunday I spent 3 hours cleaning office buildings with my husband (it's one of our part time jobs.) I don't count when I do my house or yard work, but if I do it elsewhere I count it.

    I am starting to incorporate interval training (walk/jogging) to improve my cardiovascular health (currently not great). However, it's frustrating, because due to my injury I must take rest days---not an option.

    I'm looking for something to do on rest days that doesn't involve putting any pressure on feet/ankle---I'm not part of a gym :-/
