    yay! i found you guys! I'm going to do walking lunges from the front door to the back door and back everyday. I will accurately log all my food and make sure that I stay under. I am going to try to eat back some (not all) of my exercise calories this week.
    Well I'm off to do my lunges. Thanks for the challenge.

    I am loving this!!! Got the girls at work motivated too.. Our respiratory therapist is threatening to take our picture!!! Haha!!!!

    Since I am at work, and in 45 minutes it will be another day.. I am hoping to be able to get another 60 in.. But I gotta go jog some stairs for a few minutes so we will see how I feel after that!! haha!! (Not to mention the presses I do against the sink counter, or working my tri's by using the chair in my patient's room!!! (They are preemies, and don't know what their crazy nurse is doing in the corner!!! haha

    Thank You for the welcome! I just started using mfp and I love it! So easy to log!
    I couldn't remember how many lunges exactly; so I led my 7 y/o, 4 y/o, 3 y/o, and 1 .5 y/o on a walking lunge trek...30 per leg.
    Ouch! Hurt so good.
    (the two little ones are not mine)
