    3/7 yesterday with 25 minutes elliptical. Today is a rest day and I definitely need it. I was exhausted yesterday and today and talk about grouchy! Must be the changes in weather we've been having! ;)

    Wednesday -- 3/7 after my rest day yesterday, I really pushed it today. Did a 4 mile walk averaging 16 mins miles. 30 mins on the exercise bike and my 100 workout, which takes about 22 mins. But not all together.

    Thanks makeit for info on finding site I will try that next time. Not real familiar with computer things like this. I am self-taught using the trial & error method.

    After getting my back adjusted & the headache to go away I took my 3 furries for a 4 mile walk and then I rode 8 miles on my bike while mu hubby walked the TM. I guess that makes me 4/7 for the week!

    Great job girls! It is what we make of it right?

    Super Job everyone!!! I didn't manage to fit anything in...so I am sitting at 3/7. Learned a lot of great info at my son's physical therapy session... motivated me to get back with some weights...

    Verda.. I will be starting Chalene X again:blushing: :noway: , but this time I will complete, I will complete, I will complete! Glad your headache is gone... they can ruin everything!

    I did Chalene last year. You just reminded me of it. Perhaps I might try again.

    Wow, there is some activity on this board!! Great job ladies!!! And welcome kimberlykay! And to busymom and thinktank, glad you're sticking with us!

    My 1/7 was walking a couple miles to and from the closest grocery with the hubby to get some healthy snacks on Monday, and my 2/7 was about 4 hours of strolling around the strip yesterday. We weren't setting any pace records, but we were moving!

    I get to sit in meetings today from 8am-9pm, so the only activity I'll get is walking back and forth to the bathroom! :wink: Hope you ladies are having a great week!!!

    4/7 beautiful weather here so I got in another 4 mile walk. 68 mins. That's about a 17 min mile, but I wasnt pushing for time, just exercise.

    You guys really believe in getting in some exercise on here. I love it. What is ChaleneX? I need to vary my routing, that is why I do the 100 workout.

    ChaLEAN X is a lifting workout (with some cardio) by Chalene Johnson who started the Turbo Jam series! It is a real good 3 month workout program!

    Today is my day off, so I'll finish the week at 5/7. The scale is finally starting to move again! In the last 4 days, my weight has dropped 3.5 lbs! Hoping this continues and I don't plateau again! This thread is a great motivator. It's so nice to find one where people participate and actually show up regularly. Thanks guys!

    Didnt get any exercise in yesterday, long day at work, & an unplanned night out. It was fun but by the time I got home at 9:30 I couldnt even talk myself into 30 mins on the exercise bike.

    But I still got 5/7 today went for long walk. Was supposed to be 6 miles but my mom wasnt feeling well at the end, we did 5.7. took 1 hr 37 mins, comes out to right at a 17 min mile.

    I lost 2.6 lbs this week, and I just bought a new pair of levi's last night in a size 12. That is a long way from the 22 I was wearing the beginnning of 2010.

    Congrats on the great loss!! I love this group as well. I like the fact that we can each do our own thing. The group I was in previously wanted to tell you what you had to do for the week, & there were penalties if you didnt. I just want accountability. thanks to this group for helping with that.

    I did the same as you yesterday! I enjoyed my prime rib dinner (gave half my food away, it was all I needed), had a few drinks and was ready to drop by 9:45. I am not much of a drinker so they made me toss and turn most of the night. I felt fine today except for being tired. Great walk for you and your mother!!! That is sooo good you two can support each other on this journey!!!
    Super on the weight loss, new clothes and AWESOME on the whole weight loss from 2010! This IS a lifestyle change huh? As for this thread, it is a thread that is in it's third year and we try to do something PHYSICAL, use to be EVERY day but this year I said after working out 736 days in a row I wanted to go at least 5 out of 7 days! We are all usually pretty good at posting our workouts and adding support. We have gotten to know each other pretty well!:wink: I wish you continued success!!!!

    I had an off day on Friday, which was a good thing as I was installing computer programs most of the day on the new toy, but got busy Saturday with the treadmill and Burn Circuit 2. I could really feel it in my back later that night! I finished the week 5/7 :bigsmile:

    Got a good jump to the week with 1/7 Chalenex Burn circuit and ab burner.. both my husband and son were sitting at the dining room table while I was working in the living room...:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: their loss for not joining in :wink: I am having some tea now and then heading up to my sewing room!
