    Oh thats an awful start to the morning. Especially when you forget something its like nothing is ever on time the whole day. hope the day gets better. but I do have to say that borrowing someone elses shoes (stranger) is true dedication KUDOS to you :o)

    LOL thanks! Yeah it took a bit of courage to ask the girl at the desk but thankfully she is super-friendly and she said said ppl do that all the time :) Still tho... not the most sanitary experience lmao.

    I've been trying to get an overnight locker at the gym, but they only allow a certain number of them since there is limited space :( Altho I'm number two on the waiting list yahoo!

    Oh tha tis good. I am thinking about doing the same. I am lucky where I live the gym here has lots of space I just havnt asked to purchase one. By the time I am done working out Im running out of the gym to get to class or anything else I have to get to..My day is def full.

    Its always nice to have friendly staff at the gym. It just helps put you in a better mood and makes your workouts that much better. Hopefully you do not feel rushed the whole day.

    Morning All,
    Happy Pre-Friday and another day full of opportunity to honor ourselves and our commitments (despite whatever obstacles) I planned to get up at 4am and my dogs were even cooperating,lol, but i rolled over until 4:15. that may not sound like a big deal but in my world ever minute counts when I've got a 40 minute drive in to the office. I did Turbo Jam CP 2 - which was just awesome!! Got a 400 calorie but per the HRM. Got a long power- walk planned for after work. I did the tougher w/o in the morning because historically I am low energy by the time we get to Thurday night.
    I am feeling better everyday and stronger too!! Thanks my friends:heart:
    Sweet Sara J - You're my hero!! You had multiple reasons to say "oh, forget it!" But you didn't and that is such an inspiration to me!! WTG:drinker:
    HLRoberts: Good to see your consistent positive attitude matches your consistency in working out!!! Keep it up!!

    Make it an amazing day everyone; the choice is yours!

    Wednesday 23rd – 8:30 AM C25k Week 1 (DONE) + Mid Jari Love 30 mins (DONE) + 3 – 4 PM 46 mins walk/jog intervals (DONE)

    I would have successfully jogged/walked/sprinted 15 miles today,I don't think I've ever done this consistently so I'm really feeling it,especially on strength training/circuit days,hmm contemplating on whether to cut it down to 3-4 times a week instead of this 6,but will see,next week I'm hitting the weights a little harder,by adding weighted squats,I wonder if this will strenghen my legs to continue running or make them so jelly I have to run less,waiting to see...lol

    Doing those will actually make you run stronger and more efficiently

    Got my bench work in last night and shoulders and arms this morning. Whew! I'm looking at Ab Ripper X tonight and maybe a little additioinal cardio.

    i love ab ripper...its works so stinking good. I wish P90x would come out with a better leg workout though (upper leg) ;o)
    Ditto. But someone told me that Chalean Extreme has pretty great leg w/o hoping to look at some of the dvds over the weekend, time permitted.

    Thursday 3/24/11 - Got in two exercises this AM again. P90X arms and shoulders was my planned AM workout then I had to take my car in for service so I road my bike home which will replace my PM ride. Short ride but I averaged two mph faster than normal so that worked out. My wife just called and wants to do a "hill walk" together this evening so that will be something too. She is trying to ease back into exercise and I am walking with her to encourage her. Hope you are all doing well.

    That's great, it can take a lot of effort to get back into exercising if someone has been 'off' for a while, I'm sure having your encouragment helps a lot!

    Got P90X Kenpo in this morning. It's always a fun workout. My plans for an evening workout got derailed yesterday, however. I''ve got tennis tonight, so I'll have to find more time later this week to make it up. Everyone is doing great. Keep up the good work.

    That is awesome! Maybe you are inspiring her to go forth with it with you working out :o) Good job!

    Alright, so I have not been sticking to the two-a-day workouts. I need to establish a better schedule. Any suggestions?

    Hmm, Well first I would ask, what is your barrier? Is too hard to get up early, is the gym too far away, what reasons are you telling yourself for not doing it?

    Been good so far! Monday, Run and kickboxing. Tuesday, Yoga and weights. Wednesday, Bike ride and run. Today, circuit training class and a run, hopefully! Tomorrow will be my easy day, with only one workout, then Saturday is a run and a ride again. Good week!

    I agree...I am not able to wake up earlier than going to work and so I usually do both of my workouts in the afternoone usualy with liek a 2-3 hour break in between. You need need to ask what is going to work for you.

    Thursday
    AM: Legs and Abs
    PM: I wanted to do a more intense workout, but a sore back meant I just did some easy calisthenics. Glad I did something though!
