@smkuhn1419: Good for you!!! I don't think I could run for 6 minutes straight. Don't be discouraged by what you wish you could have done...be proud that you DID something! It's more than I have done today! Stick with it. I'll bet you will be surprised at how much progress you will have made even in one month's time!0 -

Been absent the past few days - work has been crazy busy, and then today we had 6 trees cut down. So this week I think I will get my exercise in!
I did OK today - trying to keep carbs and sugar low. Still got into some halloween candy, but stopped at just 2 little bars.

I was having problems with my MFP app yesterday on my phone. I gave my phone to my 13 year old son this morning and he had it fixed in 3 seconds! Someday all of my children will be grown and moved away...who will take care of my IT problems?! Hopefully they won't get too far from home!

Chalean Extreme is a Beachbody program with Chalean Johnson (Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire). It's a 3 days-a-week, 12-week weights program broken into three 4-week sections.

4. Clean the house
Did well yesterday in meeting my commitments. Struggling a bit with moving into a weights-based program instead of a cardio-based one. I know weights are beneficial in the long run but I miss the immediate calorie burn of more intense cardio sessions. Plus, I miss the cardio "high" that helps me feel better. That's why I threw in a cardio workout after the other one yesterday.
JFT, 11/11
1. Cardio day!
2. Walk the dogs
3. Stay within weight-loss calories
