Bump also to read later.

I almost spit out my drink right here at work! That's damn funny :)

This month just sucked for so many reasons and I let a lot of emotional crap get in the way of my goals. It's a learning…

Well last month didn't go so well so I'm happy it's over and I can start again!

I think I'll set my goal at 80 miles this month since I'll also be adding in strength training. I'm sure the first few weeks of strength training will result in sore legs and some muscle fatigue so I don't want to set my goals too high. I loved that I stuck with this challenge last month and met my goal!

Thank you both for replying! I've decided that I will hire a personal trainer to help me with the moves, or at least help me find other exercises to attempt before DL's. I've tried doing them with dumbbells instead and it just didn't feel right. I've done the supine hip extensions before but had no idea what they were…

1/9/14 - 7.7 mi 1/11/14 - 5.1 mi 1/13/14 - 6.9 mi Total so far: 19.7 I have not been biking as exercise until buying my stationary bike so my numbers are going to be low for now. I live in Colorado where people are out biking all of the time but I'm not confident to be out on the roads yet. When spring comes I hope to be…

I'm in! I just got a recumbent bike the weekend before Christmas and now that things are slowing down I'm ready to use it. I have no idea how many miles I can accomplish so January will be my baseline. My goal is at least 30 minutes, 3 times each week, but I'm also adding in Zumba and Pilates classes. I can't wait to see…

I need some recommendations also. Many reviews for treadmills have me worried that no matter which one I choose it will have problems within a short time after getting it home.

Definetly need to keep these and refer back to it often!

What is he, or you, doing to be "primal" ? I've looked into the Paleo/Primal thing but feel its too hard to give up legumes, rice and dairy. I've bee trying to greatly restrict any gluten but have found that hard to do also. My biggest problems are budget for all of the meat and the fact that I do not like eggs, no matter…

I almost got to Fitness Buff again but missed it by 18 minutes! Darn it :( Oh well, I got in 217 minutes of exercise and 7/7 days for the water challenge. My "new" exercise was 15 minutes on the spin bike. I was also going to add raquetball yesterday but my husband and I both felt bad all day and I had to work. I'm hoping…

I'm going to try for "Buff" again, but that means I'll have to get in my exercise every day for the next five days. I was literally getting ready to go to the gym today when my stomach flipped over and I was glad I was at home! Just 20 minutes before that my stepdaughter said she was up most of last night feeling like she…

I'm happy to report that I made Fitness Buff this week, with 275 minutes of exercise, and I drank my 8 glasses of water everyday! I didn't even have any alcohol last night during the Super Bowl because I wanted to make sure I drank all of my water for the day. (Good thing I only had water because I still woke up at 1am…

These challenges are Monday through Sunday, correct? If so then I think I'll have enough time for Enthusiast. I've met all of my personal goals this week and I'm taking today off from working out. Happy Superbowl Day!

Maybe you are running too fast and that's why it was hard to get in the second minute. I've done the program once and am doing it again. I am not a fast runner so to get through the day's program i may slow down, but not to my walking speed until its time to walk. I also have to repeat days every so often and many people…

Wow, I had no idea that was your shoulder! The only thing I could think of was an elbow but I know that would be a really odd place for a tatoo. I'm going to try getting back to NROL4W this week but at much lighter weights than before, and I'm going to to Romanian deadlifts instead of Conventional. I think I may have been…

Good to see you get back up and try again! I have made weekly goals all month long and have yet to meet every one of them. All of this is hard but I'm going to keep pushing through!

I didn't get to exercise as much as I needed to but I did get in 180 minutes. I also only made 6 out of the 7 days on the water goal but that was better than the week before!

It's funny that my hardest days of tracking, eating right, and exercising are when my husband has the day off with me. Both of us work crazy shifts so time off together takes priority over everything else. I now have new motivation for getting in shape: my stepdaughter's wedding! They are engaged as of Sunday and are…

I'm definately going for 8 glasses of water everyday, and I am going to aim for Fitness Buff. If I can exercise as much as I'm planning for the week then I may get in enough time for Buff anyway!

I got in two hours of exercise this week with running and Pilates. It wasn't as much as I wanted so this next week will hopefully be better. I also got at least the recommended eight glasses of water on five days. Sometimes I'm just not thirsty.
