    Still on day 3 :( Ended up with no exercise yesterday. Not letting that happen today. I need to run downtown to pick something up during lunch and plan to walk, then take the kiddos to the zoo for some extra time walking, and hopefully still fit in a workout DVD. I need to get a lot of exercise in this weekend because I'm going to be surrounded by yummy food all of Sunday at a family reunion.

    Is this starting over next week? Or just start on a random day and do at least 5 days from then?

    If we're staring over next week I'll be in then.

    I do 50 mins 6days a week Sunday is my day off. When I get bored I will do a little mini work out 25 mins . This will help to keep me going as some days I just want to sit on the sofa. But I work out and think of Sundays my sofa day lol

    Walk/Jog on my usual trail, which ended up more like Walk/Slip-n-Slide due to yesterday's rain.
  • Yes, I need a "startover". This week just did not turn out the way I planned!
    Next week, here I come!

    I walk one mile each day and am in the process of increasing to two miles each day. I'll go for two miles at five days each week.

    I'm not a morning person either Jafray4, but I have found that if I get up and exercise in the morning I am more alert and in a happier mood.

    Day 4 got up this morning and did 30 min of Jillian M DVD. Tomorrow will make day 5 I'm so excited I don't think I have worked out this much in 10 yrs. and yes I realize I don't even workout a fraction of what most of you do but for me this is huge!!! It is so motivating to see exert one working so hard.

    Last week I did make my challenge but walking for 60 min on Friday and a DVD workout on Saturday. I am going to try and do it this week as well, but I have been sick the last couple of days and I know that I would pass out if I even try to workout tonight. So I will push to get my 5 days but I might need to make then easier workouts till I can keep food down better

    Tuesday September 2 Day 2 of 5
    55 squats
    8 push-ups - modified wall push-ups
    8 dips (that may be the max amount I can do for a while on those because this exercise hurts my wrists-carpal tunnel. Yesterday's 5 dips were okay, but today's 8 dips pushed it.)

    15 sec punches
    20 Sit ups - knees bent (Did 2 sets of 10 for a total of 20) I guess I'm feeling more determined and stronger today as I was able to do them!
    8 crunches - knees bent
    8 leg raises - laying on side - each leg
    12 sec plank - straight legs

    Felt a little better tonight. Neighbor was going for a short walk so the boys and I joined along. Only went for about 15 min but considering I wasn't able to keep any food down a day ago I was happy with it.
