Better late than blowing it off for another month! I track my exercise in my online calorie counter, and sometimes this just gets repetitive when I'm really busy. But I do miss checking in with you all. My goal this month is to take no more than one day off per week, and include circuit training at least 3 times per week.

11.1: Circuit Training 40 min.
11.2: Zumba 60 min.
11.3: Zumba 60 min.
11.4: Circuit Training 25 min.
11.5: dance for hours, possibly 4 or five?
11.6: Zumba 60 min.
11.7: Circuit Training 40 min. dance 60 min.
11.8: Zumba: 120 min.

I have a podiatrist appt in the morning for my plantar fasciitis which has been causing me ALL SORTS of trouble for years now, but it never stopped me from being active and, as you can see on the 8th, it has gotten that bad. I'm not gonna let ANYTHING slow my progress, so I made an appt right away.

Y'all have a GREAT DAY and keep on movin! :carrot:

Bad news :(

The doc gave me a cortisone shot into my heel & I'm out of commission for a week. He said "no activity except what you have to do at work".

Boo hiss....:( well, don't count me out yet, maybe I'll be super fantastic after this week and I'll just step it up. We shall see.:?:

I must say I feel a little better seeing people post when they miss a day. I started to drop out because I missed a couple of days.

I also like seeing what other types of workouts people are doing. It lets me know that if I don't go to my water aerobics I can at least do some crunches. It looks like I'm only going to be able to do my classes 3x a week instead of the 4. I use to do Zumba once a week but my knees are so bad I can't do it. :( so off to find an alternative.

Thanks gardenerjoy! Sorry to have ditched last month--it's nice to have regulars you can count on for inspiration,

11.1: Circuit Training 40 min.
11.2: Zumba 60 min.
11.3: Zumba 60 min.
11.4: Circuit Training 25 min.
11.5: dance for hours, possibly 4 or five?
11.6: Zumba 60 min.
11.7: Circuit Training 40 min. dance 60 min.
11.8: Zumba: 120 min.
11.9: Circuit Training 25 min.
11.10: Zumba 60 min.
11.11: Zumba 60 min.

2feelbetter: Happy birthday! Mine was Sunday. My knees were a wreck when I first started losing, and the Zumba was painful, but I kept it up, being gentle on the jumping and twisting, and listening to my body. The more weight I lost, the less pain I've had, although I still have to take it easy sometimes.

overstressedmom: the key is to move, no matter how little at first, and this is the perfect place to be accountable to yourself and others. We're your cheerleaders here!

WendyRN: Sorry about the heel; hope it heals quickly. There are always squats and punches to get your cardio in without putting strain on the heel--good luck keeping it moving so you don't lose the momentum!

OK! So, I have made up some ground on week 1 this week - still behind, but not by as much. Am confident that I can get back to scratch this week - it's only just under 2 hours' extra exercise over the course of the week...!

So here we go with week 3...:

Week 3:

15th - 40 mins cycling commute - 40 mins
16th - 50 mins cycling, 10 mins walking - 60 mins
17th - 30 mins swimming - 30 mins
18th - 40 mins cycling - 40 mins
19th - 30 mins swimming - 30 mins
20th - 30 mins walking am, 105 mins walking pm - 135 mins
21st - 45 mins running, 10 mins warmup - 55 mins

Week 3 total: 390 mins
This week ahead/behind: +12 mins

Running total: 1032 mins
Total ahead/behind: -102 mins

Have a great week everyone! X
