I accomplished drinking more water yesterday as my little unofficial goal. I don't know why I don't just drink water all day every day, I feel so good when I do! It's TOM for me, and I'm feeling bloated and pudgy... but working out nevertheless!
Goal: an HOUR of cardio 6x a week + push ups, abs, and squats & lunges 3x a week(ie. to get into rocking shape)
Week 1
March 1: Abs + push ups March 2: Hour walk + 30 mins yoga + abs March 3: 30 mins walk + 30 mins Gazelle + stretching March 4: Hour Gazelle + abs + push ups + squats March 5:
March 6:
Goal 1: I am just starting back up with exercising after a very long break... (and am new to the forums here), so my goal for march is to go to the gym at least 3 days a week and to get my cardiovascular system back to a place where I don't feel like my heart and lungs are dying with every step! (hopefully by my trip to disney on the 19th I will be able to walk around the parks with less huffing and puffing).
Goal 2: some strength training to try to keep some pressure off my knees and my torn ACL so it doesn't give out on me during my workouts.
Week 1

Welcome Melaniea1119! Wow! you are really loosing weight! Your pic looks wonderful!
Thanks! That pic was from my sister's Disneyworld wedding in July. I did some major crash dieting so I wouldn't be the fat sister/bridesmaid. This time around I am trying to drop the lbs the right way for good.

RememberHowToSmile, megphilly, SpinQueen, 5factorgirl, song of surly, zamzam- great job everyone, you're all doing so well!!! We're getting such good exercise, we're all gonna be so sexxxxy! haha
goal for the month is to do the 30 day shred EVERY DAY (BONUS- twice a day or another exercise video)
i'm stealing this idea so 30 day shred=
at LEAST two hours of cardio (bonus=3 to 4)
unrealistic? maybe. but i have absolutely no time to make up for all the slacking i've been doing. i'm off my fat meds and there are no more excuses! i'll officially start tomorrow but as a pat on the back for myself... i did the 30 day shred today
