I am finally back on the exercise wagon tonight! Didn't get much in, but considering I a) had terrible cramps all day, b) was buzzed from wine at dinner, and c) rushed out of my mother in law's birthday dinner to make it to the gym at all, I'm not too unhappy with tonight's workout. I have a TON of catching up to do if I want to make it to my goal this month, but I'm looking forward to it!
Ferumbras: I think it would be harder if I were off-track with food. But with exercise... everytime I get back from the gym and feel so great, it just reinforces that desire to go and go often! And I hate to fail when I've set a goal. I may not make it this month, but I'll still try!
Are you staying at a hotel while you're out of town this week? I know it's hard either way when traveling, but you'll be tickled pink with yourself if you can squeeze in even 30 minutes on a few days. It somehow feels even more satisfying when it's hard to make it happen.
I think I'm going to modify my 30DS goal. I haven't done it yet this month, but today is a new day and so the goal is to do it twice a week from here on in. I plan to start an official strength program in a couple weeks, so that should help me get back into the swing of things.
I've spent too long on the sidelines here. I know it's time to commit to whatever it takes to be the healthiest woman I can be.

Week 1 = goal (5x)
May 8: gym
May 9: no gym
May 10: gym
Gale, 10 mins on the eliptical sounds like a lot to me! I don't know why, but I just can't use that machine. I go for about 5 mins before my feet start hurting. So, for now, I'm sticking with the treadmill. Maybe once I lose some of this weight I'll be able to handle the eliptical.
For this month I would like to get in five workouts each week. I usally workout for at least a hour but there are times when I dont. I do a variety of things from weights to classes at my gym. My other goal is to get a workout in on the weekend no matter what it is! I always slack on weekend
5/1 20 mins stair climber
5/2 30 mins elliptical
5/3 60 mins step and sculpt
5/4 60 mins kickboxing 60 mins body to pump

rmc, I am amazed at you on the treadmill! No joke, 10 minutes on a treadmill gives me crippling shin splints. Every time. I guess that's why there's different machines, everyone is a little different!
May goals: Gym 5x/week (30-60 mins. cardio 5x, weights 3x), Volleyball 1-2x week, walk on non-gym days (as long as the weather holds)
1: Rest day
2: 50 min. elliptical, 30 min. weights, 2 hrs. volleyball
3: 1 hr. racquetball, 2 hrs. volleyball
4: 45 min. elliptical, 35 min. weights
5: 60 minute walk (semi rest day, no gym)
6: 1 hr. racquetball, 45 mins. weights
7: 50 min. elliptical
8: Rest day
9: 33 min. elliptical, 45 min. weights
10: 60 min elliptical
Total exercise minutes so far: 823
No volleyball this week (another event at our location), so my minutes are going to be lower than normal.
May 1st-7th
Worked out 5 out of 6 days (started a day late). I managed at least 60 minutes each day.
May 8th-14th
NB: This week won't go so well. I leave town on the 11th and return on the 16th. Doubt I'll be getting in much exercise.
5/8: 20 minutes strength training (stopped early as my elbow started to hurt ); 25 minutes on the elliptical, starting up C25k (peer-pressure and all. We'll see how this goes); 45 minute walk with DH.
5/9: 60 minutes group step class.
5/10: 60 minutes kick-boxing class. This will be my last workout for a week, as I'm going out of town and won't have access to a gym or really any time, plus I'm sharing a room. So I guess I really need to focus on eating right so I at least maintain.
Updated Ms Perception -- good job reordering things and pushing forward!
