I had a bad night last night. I had a carb-binge, big time. I feel like my tummy is going to explode.
However, I did still do my exercise! I hopped on the Wii and I'm very glad I did. So, one step backwards for my eating and one step forward for my exercise. Ane one more step forward - I cleaned out the fridge and the junk food is GONE!!
Echo-- congratulations! What an amazing accomplishment!
My October goals are to exercise at least 22 days and 1200 minutes. It will be a challenge to get it all in as I have a trip planned and a very busy time at work.
October 1: 45 mins on my Stairmaster + 9.5 mins ab workout.
Yesterday, I finished the last week of the STS program for chest & back and I can't believe how much more weight I am lifting. For example, I can now bench press 70 lbs for 4 sets of 8 reps each. Just 2 weeks ago I had a hard time using the same weight for 4 sets of 7 reps each. I needed my dh to spot me during week 2, and yesterday I had no problem lifting that weight without a spotter.
1st workout at 1:30pm
2nd workout at 5pm
3rd workout at 7:30pm
Total today = 90 minutes cardio/weight intervals
awesome thanks !
great job everyone!

i just finished Kenpo X P90X , i love this workout!! and boy was i sweating!! at the end when i was doing the stretch, a bead of sweat fell off my forehead when i came up from bending down.
and today is the first time, i finished the full HOUR!! woohoo!! in the past i was usually too busy to finish the full hour.
this is my 3rd time doing kenpo X, and i love it!! it really is fun but also a great workout.
Yesterday - Ab Ripper X and Treadmill - completed Today - Weight Training and possibly walk @ work
Echo, I did Kenpo once with hubby. It's a great workout.
BTW, for anyone thinking about getting a pull up bar...I have recently started using Iron Gym Pull up bar. I also bought the ab straps. We just got it from a fitness store not from their site. Of course, I am doing assisted pull ups as (a) I can't reach the damn bar without a chair and (b) I don't have enough strength yet to pull myself up without help. I believe, my ARX routine has made my core a tad stronger that I can use the straps to do some ab work with the bar. I was totally shocked to find that out. I was totally expecting to not being able to do even one but I was pleasantly surprised.
I do have to wait for my body fat % to go way down to notice my abs but till that happens I can get them stronger definitely
Keep up the wonderful hard work everyone! You guys are doing so well.
Angie and I just got home from our Saturday walk to Starbucks with the girls. Angie brought me out a sample of their new..instant, I think...coffee...not for me I tell ya...tasted like the Taster's Choice my mom used to have when we went camping.
Took the long way home since the morning was gorgeous!
11/75 MILES
Have a great week-end LADIES...get in some fun...some rest and work-out if it's in your plan...and hug those loved ones!
I decided to take a rest day yesterday as I feeling very tired. This morning I finished the last leg workout from STS, so one more workout to go with that program and I am done. I also did 20 minutes on my stairmaster.
Great start to the month everyone 
TGIF!!
