Glad to see everyone out there kicking butt toward their goal. I'm late in recording but have been working!

Jan 2: 30 min exercise

I graduated to 30 minutes tonight and 525 calories burned. I tried the weight loss program on the elliptistrider, and OMG! I thought I was dying, but I did it!!! So pumped... wondering if I will be able to walk tomorrow though...
Just did a doggies walk today but am about to go assemble a DIY storage cabinet. How many calories do you think that will burn? I think cursing and throwing things across the floor when it proves not to be a DIY storage cabinet will burn mega cals!
If, by some miracle, it does assemble fairly easily and quickly I"m going to clean out/organize part of the garage.

Much to my total astonishment the DIY storage cabinet was truly a DIY storage cabinet! Whoo hoo, easy peasy to assemble and I got tons done in the garage yesterday/last night. I assembled a second (smaller) one too. I spent from 4pm till 7:30pm in constant movement, ate dinner, then went to Petco, Target and Giant. Never sat down until after 10pm last night. While not 'formal' exercise I'm betting I burned more cals over that period of time. I like it!
Today I'm going to do a 25 min. Slimdown lower body workout (Chris Freytag) so that will put me at 5/20 towards my January exercise goal. Oh, and I have to finish organizing the garage too. Hopefully get the dogs out for a walk too. So much to do . . . . .
eta: workout 5 of 20 done.

After a roaring good start the first three days, school started again. I came home from work and went to bed by 7:30 the next three days! But today I'm up for a double workout. Already did the treadmill.

I'm joining this challenge a little late, but I have not been slacking on my exercise.
My goal for January is:
31 days of exercise. I go to the gym 6 days a week (yoga on Sundays), I am doing LiveFit Trainer by Jamie Eason, and 6 week Six-Pack by Jillian Michaels.
