Had to push myself to get on the elliptical today, but did 26 minutes, 14 minutes of leg pulls, sit ups, ect and 14 minutes of free weight lifting. I plan to do this until friday and do something for part of the weekend.

Monday: 20 min. stationary bike, 35 min. weight lifting, 15 min. stretching
Tuesday: 40 min. elliptical, 35 min. weight lifting, 25 min. stretching, shoveling and moving bark dust around
Wednesday: 40 min. run, moved more bark dust and gravel
Thursday: I feel awful (chills, bodyache, sore throat)--going to try to work in the yard. . .perhaps
BTW, congrats on how far you've come! That's awesome!
For me: today I got in 4 miles on the recumbant bike--I stopped early because I was just so doggone hot. I plan on pumping out 4 more tonight. I'll post it if I do just to keep me honest ;-)
Also got in 20 minutes working with weighted yoga balls. Love those and they are helping my arms like nothing ever has (i.e. traditional dumb bells).
You know, there was a time when I never ever thought I'd be over 175. And then never over 200. And now I'm fighting just to get in the 100's again. Isn't life ironic?
BTW, what's everyone's biggest exercise motivator and what really will kill your exercise routine?
Mine: motivator--how I might look in the mirror tomorrow as opposed to today. I have waited way too long to get on board and do something. I never wanted to turn 40 and weigh this much. Now I'm facing 45 in a few months ....
My biggest exercise killer: overcommitment I have realized I need to really schedule it in my day and not let anything overbook it. And if I have a headache or migraine, then forget it! But that hasn't happened in awhile so I just keep on peddlin'!
I got my 4 additional miles in. Yahoo! I have to admit, I almost skipped it because it got late and I didn't want to have trouble falling asleep But I'm glad I did. It helps keep me on track.
yesterday I did 20 mins of weight lifting (legs and back) and 20 mins of cardio--bike. Tonight the plan is at least 20 mins of weight lifting (arms and shoulders) and at least 20 mins of cardio. I'll check in later to make sure I did it...last night what kept me going when I really wanted to stop the cardio was thinking "I don't want to log on and admit that I cut it short!)
Monday: Walked the dog, but changed the route. We walked 8 blocks to pick my daugher up from cheerleading. Then we walked back home. I normally drive to pick her up, but the weather was great and I siezed the opportunity and saved some gas. 35 minutes
Tuesday: Will walk the dog, regular route, 25 minutes
The Firm Cardio Sculpt, 55 minutes
