I'd like to post here but my exercise at this point is very, very minimal. I haven't exercised in years and I keep hitting the 'wall'. I do remember from years ago though, that it can be broken through and then stand back!

Currently I'm getting in a 20 minute mile on the treadmill and 5 minutes on the elliptical. Sucky I know, but I want to post here to keep me encouranged to get to those higher numbers.

I don't exercise as much as these ladies do, but every little bit helps.
Just keep doing it and we'll encourage each other.

Thanks for the encouragement supertink.

Today I did 1 mile (20 min) on the treadmill and 4 minutes on the elliptical. I can already tell after only a week that the treadmill is getting easier.

Tomorrow I'm going to attempt a little more speed and distance.

I already posted this once but I have to repost.

I did the JM 30 Day Shred Level 1. Oh. My. Gosh.
That kicked my butt.

I discovered why I didn't have "it" the other day -- I was coming down with a cold! So after several days off (the longest layoff I've had since beginning in mid-August), I got back to the gym today: 45 minutes lower body weights.

Yesterday: 45 upper body weights, 10 minutes stationary bicycle. I felt completely run down after only 10, so I gave myself a break.

Cold and flu season is: teh Suck.
