blah, so it's middle of the week, but I figured with the new challenge going, maybe we'd all ike to keep track again... and I forgot where we left off on Butt Movers....lol ANYWAY, for me...


1 hour with Denise Austin (gasppantgasp)


Anyone who needs a goooood workout, and doesn;t have money for videos, they do 2 Denise Austin workouts every weekday on lifetime, 4 am my time, so I record it, but for east coast, that would be 7 am... there's 2 half hour woprkouts, and I do both of them... just no slackin during the commercials!

Well, did water workout yesterday and today. Hoping to get back to walking if weather stays more normal.

for me it was run for .55 miles and walk for .15 then a great upperbody workout.

Walked for 35 minutes today!! I need to drive it and see how far it is!!

Walked around the mall for 4-5 hours... does that count? LOL.

Sure it does Apryl!!

I walked 1 mile yesterday.

Well, I've gone back to the gym. I was going to cancel my membership because I haven't been going. Now that my oldest is back in school, I've signed up for monthly child care at the gym for my 2.5 year old. Since I have to schedule a specific time for the child care, I basically have made an appointment with exercise each morning.

Monday: walked 3 miles on the treadmill (and overdid it a little)
Tuesday: 2.25 miles/treadmill
Wednesday: 2.5 miles/treadmill
Thursday: 2.5 miles/treadmill

It takes me 45 minutes (including 5 min warm up and 5 min cool-down to walk 2.5 miles). I'm going at about a 3.5 mph pace and definitely sweat. I'm feeling less self-conscious about all of the really in-shape people. I'm trying to just focus on my work-out and not worry about the skinny-minny next to me who's running.

This morning I didn't feel like going but something about having an appointment and having to call the gym to cancel the child care made me decide I'd rather go than cancel. I'm glad I did.

After I'm more comfortable again with the whole gym atmosphere, I'm going to try some of the weight machines. Fortunately there's a women only area that's kind of off by its own. Wish me luck! I'm going to go for 5 days in a row tomorrow.

WTG Jinkies!! Keep it up!

It's pouring rain today so I'm planning to do the 2 mile walk with Leslie when I get home.

Wow, today made it three consecutive days at water workout. Never happend before and I took a gentle ribbing about it but that's ok. Felt good.

Hey I'm on day 4 in a row with the Leslie Sansone tapes "Walk away the Pounds"
I feel sort of silly with this infomercialesque product, but I'm doing it and not hating it, and with the weights I'm getting a good heart rate out of it.
I did the one mile Monday
2 mile tuesday
1 mile Wed + 30 mins of pilates
and 2 mile today

I get up early and do it while everyone else is sleeping, then nap time is all my own, though I did have the urge today to do an extra mile at nap time...

I'm not in pain or wiped out for the rest of the day. I guess I gotta go with what I can stick with.

I'm aiming for a little something every sigle day, that way it might become a habit.
Congrats Anagram- I used to do a great water work out at the college pool way back when, it's really effective.

I rode my exercise bike for about 35 minutes then did some leg toning exercises and 50 crunches.

Check out the new thread I started Sensational September Abs. Let's all focus on our abs next month. Maybe by next summer we'll have 6 pack abs!

I think right now I have 2 liter bottle abs--you know the rounded pooch that comes out, around, and down.

Jinkies, I have a 24 pack stomach right now, actually make that 2 -24 packs!! But hey, we gotta dream.

I walked 2 miles this morning, did my leg toning exercises and 55 crunches.

did an hour with Denise Austin last night, today, walking/running across town to mil's shop to get my nails done, then back home

hello everyone! happy labor day!!
I did a mile yesterday and actually did some crunches. I want to get a lot of walking in this month. I feel it will help the weight loss along and of course get me in better shape. I saw a local half marathon on tv yesterday and these guys and gals can RUN 13 miles in 70 minutes!! I probably could only walk 4 or 5 miles if I was lucky in that time. It inspired me though to get moving. Maybe next Labor Day weekend 2003 I will be out there at the beach in the half marathon myself. Even if it is walking one, it would be a great accomplishment. I picture myself at goal weight and doing this next year. I guess it could happen-only 90 more pounds to go!!
