Haha! She'd like to think so. :wink: As do all kids her age, she already has her sights set on the Olympics. You have to be 14 to swim in the Olympics and she'll be 13 years, 5 months when the 2020 Olympics are held (she took time to figure that out)...so she's already set her goal for the 2024 Olympics (in Paris -…

Hi everyone! My name is Joy and I'm new to the challenge and excited to get going! I feel like this level of accountability to myself and this challenge is just what I need to stay focused when things get busy and excuses are easy to find. I lost weight years ago and got to my goal, but...as the story goes....I let it…

Hi there! I'm on week one right now and am really enjoying it so far! How's week 2 so far? Still sore or has that finally eased? :wink:

I'm starting P90X3 on Sunday. Tomorrow is my fit test (and last beer and pizza night for a while...lol). :smiley: I've started it before (never finished it), due to an injury. I'm starting at a heavier weight, but better mindset, and am determined to kill these next 90 days in preparation for summer! My 10 year old…

Hi all! I'm sending a friend request to everyone. :smiley:

I use it too! My husband completed Insanity using it (and got some absolutely crazy results!!!!) and I started P90x3, but didn't finish due to an unrelated injury (darn steps...lol) and I needed to take time off to heal. I've paid for the digital unlock of Insanity Max:30 (LOVING IT!) and will be finishing it up right…

I've never done slim in 6, but it sounds like it is gentle and effective. Having done 21 day fix (loved it and my results) I think you'd like it, but I'd recommend following the modifier for any moves that hurt or engage your abdominals until you've built the muscle strength to where you're comfortable and able to safely…

I'm just getting back into the swing of things...but I know that support, motivation, and accountability are key! I'd love some new friends! Please feel free to add me. :smile:

Almost done!

My foot started bothering me...so I took some time off. EEK! I've got some major catching up to do! :)

Thursday - 1.93 miles (C25K W1,D2) Friday - 4.44 miles (Precor AMT elliptical - per PTs orders, I'm still limited on outside stuff)

Added 4.5 today. :)

I'm back!! :) Spring break through a kink in my formal exercising. We were still very active, but I didn't log/track any of the activities. Now that my oldest is back in school, life is back on schedule. :) I tested out my foot w/ C25K today - pretty sure it's safe to say that it's not ready (based on the current pain…

Another 4.02 miles...this time on the elliptical (since the walk yesterday aggravated my foot injury). Feeling good! :)

I am also starting over.... In 2011 I lost almost 40 pounds, started running (and training for a half marathon), watched my body transform, and was amazed at what my body could do! :) Then, in January of 2012, I injured my MCL. That took forever to heal. Once it healed, I developed a foot injury (other leg) that to this…

Walked 2.5 miles with my 6 year old and my 2 dogs. :)

Thanks! I had started back to activity last month and the extra activity reaggravated things and caused me to be in pain (standing, walking, getting up from sitting, etc). For a former runner (in January of 2012 I injured my MCL and once that healed my foot injury occurred...so I have barely run since then), being…
