    My workout buddy (buddies) are my kids lol. I dont exactly have the choice. When I workout at home the baby sits and watches me while he plays. Or he is with me in his stroller while I walk. Sometimes if my older kids are home from school they will join my workout while they are here or go out for walks with me as well while we play I spy or the "Animal guessing game. Every once in awhile a friend will join me but its not often.

    My favourite workout song?

    This really changes depending on my mood. Lately I've been listening to Postmodern Jukebox, but the week before that it was The Great Comet and the week before that it was uptempo classical. Really it's more about the tempo of the music, especially if I'm on the treadmill. Something faster with a good beat (for awhile it was Queen and Uptown Funk).

    I much prefer to be on my own. I get really self-concious about exercise, to the point that if someone else is in the gym, I'll just go back when it's empty again. The only exercise I like doing around people is dancing.

    Do I have a workout buddy?

    Sometimes I do! My boyfriend will come with me to the gym on his days off most of the time. We start off doing weight training together, and then he usually goes off to run and I take an elliptical, and we meet back up after an hour. It's really hard for me to do cardio with a buddy, I can't seem to focus!

    Total LBS lost this month: 1.1

    Weekly Goals: Eat less sodium, eat fewer carbs, make half of what I eat everyday green, drink more green smoothies

    Struggles: Keeping my intake healthy. Sometimes I'm like, "Oh, chips? I can eat like 3 of those and stay within my calorie goal!" And then I'm hungry at the end of the day because I could've used those calories for something more filling.

    Successes: Loose pants and compliments from my in-laws.

    My workout buddies are my kids as well lol. I'm always with my kids which is awesome, but makes it hard to get a good workout in. They are young and don't want to just watch me workout for 45 minutes lol. I also take my youngest for walks in the strollers on the days where it's nice outside. Fun for both of us!

    Thanks! I try to get up from my desk job every hour and at least walk somewhere around the building. It also helps that the employee parking lot is a half mile away from the employee entrance to where I work, so I get steps in there too.

    I prefer having a workout buddy for non instructed workouts, we keep each other motivated. For classes it doesn't matter, a great instructor will keep everyone in gear.

    Sometimes my Mom will walk with me, and sometimes my teenaged daughter will. But, not all the time. I like it either way, alone or with a buddy.

    Workout buddies:

    I prefer to and typically workout alone, although I do know that if I'm with someone, I tend to workout harder.

    I typically get to paddle once or twice on my own, and then once a week, I paddle with a friend, and she always pushes me, though I don't think she realizes it.

    When I workout at home, and have any floor exercises, the cats all gather to watch and at least one will try to join in by walking between my legs or my arms if I'm on all four...makes it extra interesting. :D Sadly, there is no 'with cat' option for most exercises even though I'm sure it burns more calories. Been trying to get them to climb on my back for added weight, but we've not mastered that move yet. :/
