    Cheryl - hahahahahaha! I know what you mean! We had an electrician come to the house today and put in a panel so we can plug in our generator and run the whole house. Which probably means we won't lose power any more now for the winter (Murphy's law).

    Have a great evening! - Kathy

    For Monday - 30 minutes of a "Hi-Lo Retro" class (good old fashioned floor aerobis) and 30 minutes of Pilates.

    One round of vacuuming the downstairs
    45 minutes of cardio on the treadmill.
    Can't seem to get into strength training, maybe a new video would help.

    kjllose - I find strength training to be BOORRING, even though I know it is good for me. I have to go to a class at my gym to push myself to do it. My husband has a bowflex and I have some free weights laying around here somewhere...

    Today I ran for 5 minutes, and power walked for 15. Then I did 5 sets of 20 arm weights. Will do 200 crunches before bed.

    Hey time2wrk, I'm in Western WA too. When I posted that I went hiking on Saturday and I was outdoors, I didn't say that it was raining cats and dogs. I live in Vancouver, WA and I was hiking the Columbia Gorge. I was soaked to the bones when I got back. I climbed the stinkin' mountain and it felt so good. I had been thinking about it for weeks, and didn't think that I could make it to the top. It was 2 miles straight uphill and it was pouring the whole way...but I made it.

    Weather was great on Sunday, the sun was out and I went to Kick Boxing for an hour, then I decided not to waste the sunshine, we don't get much here in the Northwest until Spring, so I went to the Columbia Gorge again. Found a trail from Mosier, OR to Hood River, it went through a really neat tunnel and everything. Lots of hills and it was about 7 miles, 14 miles round trip. Finished it and it felt great.

    Tonight I went to a high impact aerobics class, and my quads were so sore I could hardly move. BUT IT WAS ALL WORTH IT!!!

    Hi, neverbeenskinny, good for you toughing it out! I am a bad weather wimp! Yesterday was fabulous and I would up raking leaves after my gym workout since I couldn't get to my front door without wading through leaves.

    Today will be a 45 minute step aerobics class followed by 15 minutes of whatever strength training the torturer - er, sorry, instructor, sees fit to do today.

    Started 9/16 with a 2.8 mile brisk walking loop around my neighborhood (everyday).
    Gradually added a second lap (and an umbrella) after a couple of weeks.
    Reached a plateau in weight loss after 3-4 weeks. I added a very light jog to my routine (every other block for half of the total distance)! I Have been working through blisters on the bottom of my heels and knee pain but I am determined.
    Still only a little extra weight loss last week. This most recent week I added a very big hill and made the total distance 3 miles for each lap.
    Have gone from 2.5 mph in the beginning to 4 mph now!
    I finally lost more weight!
    My total weight loss from 9/16 'till now : 11.5 lbs! Whoo-Hooo!!!

    Today I took my FAV spinning/kickboxing combo class w/ my co-worker Ashley. I was VERY motivated today...had tons of energy.

    30 mins - spinning
    15 mins - kickboxing

    And this morning I did 60 crunches. I plan on doing 60 more this evening before I go to bed.

    Today was one of those rare days in the Great Northwest, the sun was out and it was in the high 60's, so I played hooky from work with my friend(shhhh), and went to the Bagby Hot Springs. Hiked 1 1/2 miles up to the hot springs, sat in the tub for a while, then hiked 1 1/2 miles back downhill. It was great. Did I say that my friend is in a wheelchair? I had to push all 200 pounds of him uphill to the hot springs, I was ready for a soak when I got there. Quads were still sore from all the hiking last weekend.

    The day was GREAT, until I got to my car...it was broken into and everything was stolen. Why do people have to do that????? I just don't understand thiefs and haters.
