Bootsie~ sorry, I didn't read the posts otherwise I would have replied! Cramps can be caused by lack of potassium so eating a banana or making you take a multi vitamin with enough potassium will help. Hubby was having major foot cramps last night--he headed downstairs and ate some salt--?! I guess a lack of salt can cause them too? I don't know, I haven't checked into that, but he said after he ate a pinch of salt it went away. He woke up with them again this morning and I told him to eat a banana--I didn't hear any more complaints of cramping after that. ;)

9/1/09: 30 minutes, elliptical.
9/2/09: 30 minutes, elliptical.

9/1- 1 hour of kickboxing.

Bootsie- MsP and Idream are right! It is usually electrolyte imbalance and dehydration. So drink some water, eat a banana, and if that doesn't help, I suggest a trip to the doctor for a check-up, and labwork if it has been awhile. Potassium can be over-done, so be careful. Too much is really not good either.... hope you feel better soon!

As for me, I had to literally talk myself into doing my intervals today...UGH! but I feel sooooo much better now that they are out of the way!
9/1= workout 1A (NROWL)- will walk extra at work tonight
9/2- 20 minute interval training walk/jog:D, 30 min walking with dog

Hi, I have been lazy this summer, so I'll start my goal at 500 minutes until I get back into the swing of things. School starts in a few days so we'll see how that goes.

Hello everyone. I would like to join this challenge, I've neglected myself for several months now, and it is time to get back on the wagon.

My Goal is 1000 minutes for this month. Got 45 in today at the gym :D

9/2: 30min Swimming/Snorkeling and 30min walking

I saw a stingray while I was swimming today! Freaked me out. haha So I just moved to a different area.

Thanks girls I am going to drink a-lot of water tonight before I go to bed. I have some dried banana's i will eat some of them before going to bed too. I more than likely got dehydrated outside cleaning the back yard , building the duck a place to swim etc... but I am always outside, I drink like a galoon of water though. I think I will ride the bike in 3 - 15 minute 's instead of the 45 all together. Thanks

9/1- 35 mins of light weight lifting 50 mins of dance cardio
9/2- 20 mins of ab exercise 20 mins of light weight lifting 20 mins of cardio and 15 mins yoga stretching
TOTAL: 160/1400

Hey Ladies,

So, I just wanted to update real quick, I will do personals later tonight when I can read (I think) all 5 pages I've missed. XD

I did post this on the weight loss thread, but yesterday was an awful day for me. Monday I was so busy, (I even walked out the front door without eating anything,) that I managed to drink 3 cokes! And I don't drink caffeine! So, naturally, I had a horrible withdrawl headache all day because of it. Not to mention the allergic reaction I had Monday from latex band aids in the Doc's office.

And on top of the headache, I slipped down a few stairs yesterday resulting in a nice, literally black and blue bruise next to my elbow. However, today I am laughing at my own stupidity for drinking the sodas, which made me feel horrible. While I didn't eat OP yesterday, I did exercise.

As for today, I feel great. I spent some time with a very close friend of mine; we went ice skating! However sore I am, (mostly my feet,) I feel so good, I'm about to go for a walk in the nice sunny weather. And I did stick mostly to the wall, since I haven't skated since I was 15. I used to skate when I was about 7, but just for fun. I took classes. I'm thinking about starting it up again, maybe 3 times a week? It's only 5 dollars for admission since I own my own skates, (for summer at least.)

Oh, and FSA, I think you added an extra goal to my list. ;) I believe the 3 minute run is Aclaia4067's goal.

I will be back for personals later! I hope everyone has a great day.

<3

So far 3/3 for my P90X workouts. They are a bit much for me as I am pretty out of shape so I may switch to the P90 for the first 2 months and then try the P90X when I have a bit more core muscle development. I am going to try it through the weekend and then decide.

I got 45 minutes in dancing today to bluegrass music , now that was fun! :dancer: I remember that guy who lost all that weight dancing on the American Bandstand, do any of y'all remember that ?
