    I just got my payout for my most recent diet bet. It's here if anyone wants to join me. It starts today and you have to lose 4% of your weight by Christmas! http://diet.bt/AijEIa

    Hit the gym w/DDD for a 45 min workout then went off walking by myself (6.51 total miles, 12,323 total steps) then got on the recumbent for 12.0 miles in 45 mins. A good Thanksgiving!

    How's everyone doing? I took yesterday off because I was feeling really awful. Back to it today though! I am again a day behind. I did 30 Day Shred today and I guess tomorrow is NMTZ.

    Sounds fun! I went shopping after everything calmed down today to buy a blazer and a handbag for a job interview I have on Tuesday.

    Wow, that's great!

    I am taking the night off. I shouldn't because it will put me behind, but I'll make it up later. I'm just exhausted today and I really don't feel up to it.

    My schedule is all messed up. I did quick trouble zones today (because my family had Thanksgiving today and I didn't have much time before I needed to get ready), and I'm going to do 30 DS L1 tomorrow and try to catch up somehow. I'm currently 2 days behind and then I also switched NMTZ for QTZ, so I will have to do NMTZ the next time the schedule says QTZ but hey, I'll figure it out.

    Today I did Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism...40 mins of about 7 circuits...a lot of jumping along with one jump and twist to the other side exercises. I did most of it, but where I thought my knees would not be happy, I did squats.

    I also walked w/DH and Bean this morning then got on the recumbent bike for 13.0 miles and an episode of Castle.

    We are going to dinner w/our daughter and our SIL. Hoping to stay close to my calorie allotment...could be dicey!

    Have a great evening...back tomorrow...and back to the 1st grade classroom for about two weeks then Christmas Break!! Woot!

    I'm all for continuing this if you are. It's sad that a number of challenges end this way. I'm just about to do Killer Arms and Back because I don't have Quick Trouble Zone and I need back exercises!!

    Back later! bwahahah! I'm such a joker!

    Walked w/DH and Bean early this morning (total miles 7.14 for 15,601 steps) then got on the recumbent for 13.56 miles in 48 mins then worked out to JM's 30DS L1. I stayed within my calorie allotment and stayed away from the junk. It's been a good day.

    Thanks, BleuBerryS! I was up a little this morning but not bad. I also weighed in earlier than I did on Friday which makes a difference.

    Went to the gym w/DDD and SIL early this morning then walked w/DH in the COLD then got on the bike for an episode of Agent X then picked up Bean for some puppysitting then we went over to the school and walked around until he got bored. It was a good day!

    Gym - 30 mins; 7.68 miles for 16,675 steps; 12.75 recumbent miles in 45 mins.

    You've had a busy day.
    Sorry, Can I ask, What is DDD and DH?
  • cpanus
    cpanus Posts: 19,882 Member
    Don't be sorry...you can ask anything, and if I know, I'll share.

    DDD is my Darling Dr. Daughter...DH is my Darling Husband. A lot of folks use DD for their daughters, but my daughter got her Doctorate in Education this past May. I'm a rather proud mom, so I use DDD!!

    DH and I are walking this morning than I'll get on the bike then we meet up w/DDD and SIL for some Christmas shopping. I'm hoping to get the DVD done this evening.

    I'll be back. Everyone have fun today!

    Walked w/DH early this morning (5.30 total miles for 11,541 steps) then got on the recumbent for 13.07 miles in 45 mins then went to DDD's while DH set up her new computer then came home and worked out to a DVD for 30 mins. Now I'm going to read for a bit! It's been a good day!

    Hope you all have a great Monday!

    That makes sense, I've been trying to figure it what it stands for.
    Congrats to your daughter.

    I'm not sure if I'll be working out today, colds much worse and haven't stopped sneezing since I woke up.

    Got side-tracked this evening. Walked w/DH and Bean this morning (total 6.04 miles for 13,191 steps) then got on the bike for 12.82 miles in 45 minutes then went to 1st grade then shopped then made soup...the soup part mess with my time. I should have made it this past weekend but...lazy!!! Tomorrow won't be a problem, though. I hope everyone has a good day.
