looks like everyone is doing really well this month!!
I have had a pretty good workout month so far, I hurt my back end of last month I really wish I hadn't had to take the 1 and 2nd off but what can you do.

3 - 2 miles
4 - 1 mile
5 - too busy couldn't get in a workout :(
6 - 2.5 miles
7 - 1 mile & 30mins strength training
8 - 1.25 miles & 30 mins strength training
9 - Going to try tonight for 1.75 miles & 30 mins strength training...wish me luck ;) I'm getting tired haha

My goal was 25miles this month but I'm hoping I can push it & do 30miles because I'm turing 30 this month too :lol: and hey 5 miles is 5 miles :)

Didn't get to bed until after midnight last night, and it was pouring this morning, so I just snuggled under the flannel sheets with my husband instead of going to the gym. Do I regret that? No way!

And here's my February so far:

1. 3 walk + 5 gym = 8 kms
2. 3 walk + 7 gym + 3 walk = 13 kms
3. 3 walk = 3 kms
4. Friday = cook day!
5. Shabbat -- no walking
6. 3 kms walking
7. 6 kms walk (and I danced for 2 hours at a wedding)
8. 5 kms walk
9. 3 walk + 7 gym = 3 walk = 13 kms



Total for February: 51 kms

4 am! I'm starting to get used to working out really late before sleeping, I enjoy the silence in the house and knowing no one is awake to interrupt me. Ah, My lower back and abs are a little sore right now, I love it. Every time I stretch it's like my muscles are singing hallelujah!

Oh, I have a date on Friday~ Woooo first one in a while. The guy is too hot for me but I'm not complaining!

I have an appointment with a trainer at the gym tonight to begin the weight training. I am, strangely, quite nervous.

chickadee - Trainers make me nervous too ;) i'm sure it'll go away once you get there have fun tonight!
After an hour on the elliptical last night I stopped with a grumbly hungry tummy :( I tried to contain myself but I had 3 pickles, a bite of cheese & half a glass of water...then I made myself do 30mins of strength training to make up for it. I really need to pay more attention to what I eat for dinner.
Shooting for 1.25 miles tonight.
Friday I want to get in 2miles & another 2miles Saturday then I’ll do nothing Sunday except be happy that after 1 mile Monday I’ll be at 15 miles in 14 days which puts me 10 miles from my goal and will make getting to 30 miles a synch if I can keep this up! :D:carrot::D
Happy Thursday Ladies!!

I shouldn't have been nervous - I loved it!! We did a lot of different things... free weights for my arms, machines for my abs and legs, some static balance stuff, some cardio stuff... it was great! I totally prefer the weight training over the cardio I've been doing, but my legs are already feeling sore :lol: I'm going to meet with her again three times over the next 1.5 weeks to get a routine down, and then I'll be on my own for a few months.

Comment for todays workout: :devil:
I've officially seemed to have moved my workouts to 4 am, rather than 4 Pm. I like working out right before sleeping, taking a nice shower before rest is niiiice for resting those muscles. Today I felt like I had no energy whatsoever during my workout, pushed myself, but I still felt like I was running on empty the whole time. Maybe it's the TOM, or my date today. I'm emotionally exhausted after finally meeting the guy who's been talking to me the past few days. Odd the people you find on facebook, because he's amazing XD Just as quirky and weird as me, and he seriously thinks and convinces me he loves the way I look, even though I am and feel overweight. Anyways, end rant, here's my stats for today's workout.

My quads were EXTREMELY sore and tight yesterday after the workout with the trainer. The rest of my body was fine, but I could barely get down a flight of stairs. I skipped the gym yesterday because I was worried it wasn't safe to go, but after getting some advice here that it was not only safe but GOOD to go and get my walking in, I went today and was really glad to do so.

I am SO sore today. I fell on an icy sidewalk yesterday when I was walking to the gym. I almost fell several times today while walking to work and I just feel so stiff and sore.

2/14: 20 min walk; on my feet for a couple hours at work; squats

Well I had my v-day dinner last night since my hubby is working tonight and I really over indulged! Didn't even attempt the scale this morning.
I tried to eat healthy/low cal during the day and dinner wasn't too bad but I had a Bellini and 4 bites of a triple chocolate brownie explosion (omg the name says it all) which was bad enough but it didn't stop there. After we went home I downed a bottle of white and had 5 chocolates :mad:
So I'm eating really light today mostly because my stomach is rejecting all that sugar and well lets face it wine haha Going to avoid the scale for a few days and going into workout overdrive tonight and tomorrow and hope for the best :dizzy:
Bought a biggest loser workout DVD it looks pretty good it has 5 workouts and a warm up/cool down (70minutes total) going to do as many as I can and the elliptical after for as long as I can tonight.
