I like the walking around the living room idea best. Actually can I do my family room/kitchen combo? It's pretty big, and I promise I won't take the shortcut around the kitchen island...hey I can even skip out to the dining room once in awhile! (OKay I need some more motivation here!).

Nurse- When i have been successful at exercising (in the past), I did it at night because I am just not a morning person. To me, even though they say you burn more fat in the AM...if you're not going to get up - better to burn less at night but be consistent!

Froufy - OK - If you do the Family/Kitchen combo and agree not to grab any food as you walk through the kitchen - then I guess that would be OK. But now you must touch your toes 6 times instead of 5!

I got through 25 min. of my video last night. Yipee!!!!

Yesterday, I did 15 minutes of bodyflex plus before work and 20 minutes of beginner bodyflex after work.

Today I got up at 4:00 am to do 35 minutes of bodyflex plus and beginner bodyflex. I walked briskly at lunch for 40 minutes. I walked briskly with dog after work for 20 minutes. Then did 35 minutes of bodyflex plus and beginner bodyflex.

I hate to exercise so I'm feast or famine. Gotta run. 4 am workouts come pretty early.

Good luck girls!

I am excited because I actually was able to do about 1/2 of my beginning run training now! That is a big jump over last year this time!

I don't know why I thought my beginner bf tape was 20 minutes. It's only 15.

Today I did 30 minutes of bodyflex before work. Walked briskly at work for 40 minutes. I did weight training for an hour after work.

I'm pledging 3 pounds to loose by Thanksgiving. I have a very slow metabolism.

=105,000 calories--------------------------1000 minutes
-------430=Thursday's calories--------------65 minutes
-------400=Friday's calories------------------60 minutes
=104,170 calories left-----------------------875 minutes
