LOL Newshinyme, My DH is also 6'4" and I'm 5'3" on a good day, so we are almost exactly in the same boat there.

Jacqui, There's no denying the impact of the accountability of these threads! Here's hoping for no more no-energy-days and/or the ability to fight through them when they come. Take care, hon!

Are there exercises other than squats and lunges that I can do? I would love to do those, but my ankle doesn't have the range of motion yet to let me do them properly. It is so annoying. I need to strengthen it, but I can't do very much because of it. ugh. I think I will have to just continue doing the machines at the gym until my ankle decides to cooperate with me.

I have a test tomorrow, so I might be MIA for a little while, but I promise to get to the gym!

Back to the gym yesterday. .25 miles on the elliptical, .5 on the treadmill (that elliptical kicked my butt, I just could NOT stand after that!) and 1 mile on the bike.

I'm now at 9.25 miles for the month. I know I said walking before, but I'm counting the bike anyway, at least this time. If I decide to continue trying with the elliptical, I may wind up supplementing my miles on the bike. We shall see.

My minutes:
6/10: 40 min Wii Fit (strength and aerobics)
6/11: 20 min Pilates, 26 min WAH
6/12: 30 min walk, 20 min swim
6/13: 30 min walk (basically my day off)
6/14: 45 min basketball (whew!)
6/15: 30 min pilates
6/16: 68 min WAH

On the Pilates...it's a dvd I borrowed from the library. I really like it though. It's challenging but I can do enough of it to feel a strong workout. I would defintely count it as strength training, which I am lacking. On another note, DH and I went to the driving range (golf, for those who don't know) and each got a bucket of balls, then went to the chipping and putting practice area. I wasn't sure if I should count those minutes, so i didn't but got some definite exercise. I am not great, so it's more work for me than it probably should be. LOL I've just started golfing (last year), so it's fun to try working on different parts of my game...a real challenge for sure!!

I am not totally sure yet, but I think I am taking the day off today. I need a break!

Jacqui: I'll be watching for your posts to make sure you get all of your exercise this week.

Gatorgirl: Maybe working with a resistance band will do the trick for you? You can isolate the quads and the hamstring like that. I would suggest you post a question on the exercise forum. The ladies there are really helpful.

Blondie- That's a toughie. I realize your lunch is probably over now, but in the future maybe you could ask her to do lunch together on your day off instead. Or you could invite her to walk/workout with you (if she's interested). I'm not in the workforce right now (stay-at-home mom), so it's not something I've had to deal with recently. I'm sure you made (or will make) a good choice!

Newshinyme-If you do take the day off, enjoy your rest. If not, enjoy your workout and make it count! I debated taking today off because I'm a little sore and worn out, but I fought through so I can take my day off at the end of the week!

MS PerceptionThanks for the response. I did go eat lunch with her because I know their would be no way she could come exersize with me ( she has little ones). My daughter has a double header softball game tonight so it's gonna be hard to get my work out in. I am thinking about doing it tonight after the games.

Jacqui- I realized I goofed my goal when I changed it since I'm only altering my plan half way through the month, not the whole thing. It's 1300 cardio now, with the same strength training. Sorry for being so high maintenance.

NSM- Thats great advice. I hadn't even thought about the resistance bands. I have them because I am doing ankle exercises with them, but quad and hamstring stuff would be great too! I will definitally ask the exercise thread how to incorperate those into a leg workout. Thanks so much! Now I am excited!

June 16~ 20 min Stair Climber (2 miles), 50 min lower body ST'ing
