Oh, I lost 2 lbs last week. Hoping for more, but I will take it.

Hi all! Glad to hear that everyone is still doing well. My eating was seriously derailed while I was out of town (we had amazing amounts of food from friends and relatives), but I did go for two runs while I was there. Also got in a riding lesson yesterday, which felt amazing. Was feeling down and thought about canceling; so glad I didn't. Completely overslept this am, so going to try for a run on the treadmill tonight after the kids are in bed. If it happens, great, if not, will try again for tomorrow. Also plan on a walk at lunch today to clear my head and get some fresh air.

No exercise in the morning, but 2 hour walk in the afternoon.

I didn't work out in the morning yesterday but I did walk the mountain at lunch and an intense zumba class last night.
This morning, I did Jillian's BR disc 1 again... push ups are getting easier. Planning on walking the mountain again at lunch today.

Today I have done 30 Day Butt Lift and workout 4 of Body Revolution.

Happy Friday! I ran 3.5 miles yesterday and plan to go horseback riding today (if work cooperates). If not, I will go for a walk. Also planning for a walk at lunch--I have been having a hard time making lunchtime walks a habit, so that might be my goal for May.

Improvingbill -awesome workouts!
howalawya2003- horseback riding sounds fun!

I have been very inconsistent with my couch 25K running. I have aceraged one run a week for the last two weeks. I finished week 2, which is 1.5 minute intervals, but last ran the middle of last week. This morning I was going ti just to repeat the week 2 workout, but decided to just try the week three, which is 3 minute intervals. Not only did I do it, but my last run I pushed myself and went past my time to run a 4 minute interval. I know runners laugh at that, but I am 60 lbs overweight and out of shape so it is a struggle and mind game to push myself when my body tells me to quit the whole time. I am learning not to listen to my body because I am capable of more than I think. It will be hard, but I can push myself.

I ate eggs and had a protein drink and letting it digest some then have my Body Revolution and 30 day Butt Lift workouts to do.

Way to hang tough and stretch those perceived limits !!!

The good and the almost bad: we went to supper and arena football game with friends. I am gluten free and we met at Sam and Gregs and i tried their gluten free Polynesian pizza. It was very good. The almost bad: I have wanted to try their gelato and see if it is as good as gelato from Italy. It was good. I got the small cup. I then had a glass of red wine at the game.

The good: we left our car and walked parked near the restaurant and walked 15 minutes to the auditorium. It included going down 4 flights of stairs then we had stairs at the auditorium. I did them as fast as I could. So, going back to the car we had another 15 minute walk and went up the stairs.

Bookworm. . Take care! Listen to your hubbie, when they say to stop and rest we need to listen and give our body that time to recharge.

I didnt workout today. We took everything out of the laundry room and cleaned it and i painted it. Tomorrow we will reload it all back in and organize it. I just let my workout go.

Great job sticking with it! I know it's hard sometimes... keep going!

I kept my appointment with Chalean Extreme today, but I couldn't get Hubby to wake up on time. It was a good workout to start what promises to be a stressful week.

Have a good one, all!

Amee, I did workout 3 today. Yhise plank walk outs and plank to good mornings are torture. I like back of the body workouts so much better!

Bookworm, glad you are feeling better and were able to workout.

Hoyalawya, ha, that would be an epic run for me! I am sure you feel better for doing some rather than none. Next time you will kill it!

Today I did Body Revolution workout 3. I also did 2 sets of leg raises on my weight machine with 50# weights. I am going to do some more shoulder and bicep weight work with heavier dumbbells later. I also have my 10 minute 30 Day Butt Lift workout to do. We have baseball tonight and the trail I run is across from the park so I am going to walk while the boys warm up before the game. I may run depending on if my hisband is with me or not. He hasn't seen my super slow run and i dont know if I am up for my special forces Marine to think he needs to push me along.

Funny story....we went hiking last year and coming up the mountain I was struggling and really out of breath. I was slow and a couple of times stopped to catch my breath. He was ahead of me exactly like a drill sargeant telling me to hurry up and dont stop and "Pain is weakness leaving the body" and basically annoying me almost to tears. I got mad and he got mad. I was really mostly disappointed in myself for being so out of shape, but i was also proud of myself for getting out there and doing it. So him not acknowledging the good and harping on the bad embarrassed me and hurt me. I didnt talk to him for two days. Just did what I needed without starting a conversation. Finally the 2nd day I told him I was sorry, but he had hurt me, but was sorry I had ignored him for two days. He didn't even know I had not been speaking to him!

One hour easy walk in the morning, half hour weight lifting, half hour Pilates this evening.

Hoya-- it sounds like you had a good weekend. Great job getting those runs in!

Hollyelise-- How are you feeling today after your hike? That sounds like a great way to spend an afternoon!

Bill-- Are you doing a weight lifting program?

Topaz-- I'm an emotional eater as well, and it's tough at times. I'm sorry to hear about your troubles right now and hope everything turns out alright. You handled the granola like a champ it sounds like.

My dad is having a 5 bypass surgery today, so I'm probably not going to be overly concerned about logging. I will do my best, though. It sounds like the doctors are expecting a smooth surgery and recovery, but I'm so nervous anyway... it'll be tough to not hit the vending machine today. I started trying to do 10 push ups and squats whenever I feel like eating just because I'm nervous or upset. We'll see if I'll feel too weird doing so at the hospital today!
