I will either complete day 3 tomorrow or Saturday at the latest. Hoping to get back on the monday, Wednesday and Friday schedule next week. I've been thrown all of this week. And tomorrow my husband is off work and we have lots of running and errands to get done so I know the I will be able to get my step goal in, lol.
For those who have big meals on Easter. What are your plans? Make that your cheat day, stick with your plans and still count? I'm not planning to count since we will be traveling (6+ hours in the car), but I do plan to not cheat either. I am going to premeasure and pack healthy snacks, and my grandma always cooks the same things so I know what I can and can't have. This will be my first get together since I started my journey so I am a little nervous that temptation will get the best of me. I plan to bring a large water bottle to help as well.
I'm on the Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule. Today was a rest day for me so I will do W1 D3 of C25K tomorrow. As far as Easter goes, I don't do a big meal. Don't plan to do any cheating

Nevermind...I googled it. Looks kinda like Elliptical Trainer, right?
Yep. It reminds me of riding a bike uphill NOTHING give me a greater burn than the Arc Trainer. When I first tried it, I only lasted about 3 minutes...Lol...now I go 60 minutes. Yay me!!

Yay you!!!!!!! I have a thought do we want to do a mini challenge for our team! We can all take turns picking something for the week. @SweeteeBri, what do you think? We could do something like no eating after a certain time or make your cal orie goal 5/7 days, [/quote]
I like this idea of having mini challenges. I do not have a gym by me that has an Arc Trainer. So don't have any mini challenges that includes using the Arc Trainer. I can't imagine doing 60 minutes on any piece of equipment. Not that I couldn't do it but I get EXTREMELY bored. I have to move around. 15 min here, 10 min here, 25 min here....I just can't do it. Do you just listen to music when you work out or do you read or listen to Auto books? Just curious. I always wonder how people get through their workouts. I can't wait until weather gets nicer here. I love to walk outside. That makes the time go fast. Also, my friend who goes to the gym with me because she talks non stop and I just listen. LOL! That makes time fly too!

My gym has 3 or 4 different locations, the one near my house also has a mini tv attached to it, so I usually watch Ellen, lol. The other ones, my head phones are my entertainment. I've seen people bring books to read or magazines too.
Today, the cycling class was a blast, hopefully things will calm down for to go next Thursday, again.0 -

I tried the cycling class and hated it...Lol. I realized I don't like to sit while I work out....Isn't that weird??? Plus the seat hurts my rear end or should I say big butt 0 -
I enjoyed my rest day yesterday but almost did a workout!! I'm trying to stick to the 5 day workout with 2 rest days/week. Well, today I started the c25k w1 d3 when I saw someone I used to work with. I hadn't seen him in a long time so he wanted to join me while I worked out. I tried to nicely convey to him I'm training for a 5k run and don't want any company but he insisted. Not a fun time for me but he eventually left me alone so I could get my workout done thanks to those pesty shin splints of his...Lol.
Today's workout:
~C25K: W1 D3...done!!
~40 min walk
Total cals burned: 557
Total mins: 700 -
I love to walk/jog, but I seriously hate rain. Well I was searching for something to do at home and I came across these walk 1 mile home workouts on youtube by Leslie sansone....loved it! It was friendly on my hip which I usually have troubles with when doing a home workout (thanks to my son's pregnancy)0

I like the idea of challenges but with my busy schedule please don't make them be anything that has to be done at a gym. I don't have the time to make it there. I do have a dual action exercise bike at home.0

I agree with you not all people have access to the gym.
Starting March 26, nutrition challenge, pick your time no eating after set time, 5/7 days. Fitness challenge - 30 mins of execise 5/7 days. You can pick which one OR do both, your choice!
Today's workout was 60 mins Arc Trainer / 60 mins Treadmill 3 mph winds/ incline of 6.5 plus 10 mins strength0 -

Finished C25K W1 D3!
Day one was tough but I'm finding I'm really enjoying running now! Who'd a thunk it!?
I used to be a runner many years ago and loved it. A broken leg, rod & 8 screws later (not running related) I never thought I'd ever run again. The healing process, 2 pregnancies and lots of weight gain later I thought running was completely out of the question and a huge goal to take on. I am pleasantly surprised at how attainable the C25K program is!! If you're even remotely considering it, do it!!

Leslie Sansone is fantastic for ease on joints! Good for you for looking for an alternative to spending time in the rain. Not only did you avoid the rain but you discovered another form of exercise you find enjoyable!

~~~JUST A REMINDER~~~
Your starting weights can be submitted any time between tomorrow, Saturday, March 26 through to Friday, April 1 depending on what day you weigh in.
In order to submit your weight please go to the thread located in Announcements for the applicable week and respond with:
Your Username:
Your Team Name:
Your Current Weight:
There is currently a very long list of individuals on a waiting list that would like to participate. I was surprised on how much interest there was! I could have easily added another 5 teams but I wanted to keep the numbers low, at least for this month. As a result I ask that everyone submit their weights on or before April 1. If not received by end of day April 1 I will assume you are no longer interested in the challenge and your seat will be filled by someone else.
Good luck everyone!! Let the game begin!!! 0 -

Leslie Sansone is one of my favs!! I love her workouts especially the walk/jog one. Have you seen that one? It incorporates walking and light jogging. It's awesome.0 -
