    Wet dreary day in Iowa today, all my workouts will be inside today. Did 30 minutes on stationary bike and abs this morning and plan on walking (inside) for 40 minutes over lunch and then taking a rowing and strenth training class after work. Good work yesterday everyone and keep working for that Monday weigh in!

    I planned on doing an hour of speed drills (fartleks) on the treadmill tonight, but think I was a little too ambitious. At 35 minutes, I was completely exhausted. I pushed it to 40 minutes, and then I was done! But, with a 40 minute work out and just slightly over my pre-exercise calorie count, I really can't complain. Still, thinking I better call tomorrow a rest day. I've been really pushing it this week.

    Went to the gym this morning. did 17 minutes of interval training on the elliptical and then proceeded to do the "Super Set plus Cardio" weight training circuit from Women's Health, but during the 3rd set of exercises I tweaked something in my lower back and decided it would be best to stop for the day.

    half an hour of exercising total, 270 calories burned. Tomorrow I'm planning on doing another 4 mile run, assuming my back feels better :(

    The best way to get rid of stress is exercising! And motivation will come after action. You can say to yourself "I will do it for 5 mins and then see it you want to carry on after. It's very likely that you will.

    Back was feeling much better today after a lot of ice and advil yesterday, so i went into the city to run along the river which was REALLY nice, did 4.3 miles at about 10 minutes per mile.

    Last night i didnt do so well with the eating, my TOM is coming up and its making staying under calories VERY difficult because i'm hungry and grumpy all the time! We'll see what this does for my weigh-in on monday


    Good luck everyone! keep up the good work!!!!

    I'm baaacccckkk! It looks like everyone has been doing really well. Unfortunately, Wed. my knee began to hurt on the treadmill and lasted through most of the weekend. I was able to get a 30 minute walk in on Thursday but after my knee began to hurt from that I thought it'd be best to take a few days off. So Friday and Saturday I didn't work out, though I tried to stay somewhat active and spend time outdoors. Today I did 50 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes of stretching and everything seemed fine. So tomorrow I'll be back to my normal routine with a few added exercises to strengthen my hips (My PT told me years ago this was the problem with my knees).

    Weigh in tomorrow. (O geesh I'm nervous. I didn't eat the best this weekend since I was at the hands of what my family cooked for me).

    Have a good night!
