May 1st-7th
Worked out 5 out of 6 days (started a day late). I managed at least 60 minutes each day.

May 8th-14th
NB: This week won't go so well. I leave town on the 11th and return on the 16th. Doubt I'll be getting in much exercise.

5/8: 20 minutes strength training (stopped early as my elbow started to hurt ); 25 minutes on the elliptical, starting up C25k (peer-pressure and all. We'll see how this goes); 45 minute walk with DH.
5/9: 60 minutes group step class.
5/10: 60 minutes kick-boxing class. This will be my last workout for a week, as I'm going out of town and won't have access to a gym or really any time, plus I'm sharing a room. So I guess I really need to focus on eating right so I at least maintain.
5/11: Nothing, unless you count running from one end of the terminal to the other to catch my connecting flight.
5/12: Nothing.

@Carved: Thanks, I'm hoping for the same. I miss working out, I have to admit. Never thought I'd be one to say that. Just hope it doesn't kick my butt too hard when I get back to it. How's the Yoga Booty Ballet coming along?

I normally hit the gym on Saturdays, but my husband was out of town last night and, of course, my youngest one came down sick. I got less than 3 hours of sleep... I can hardly stand, much less work out. I'm hoping to get a nap in when he gets home this afternoon.

Gale, hope the little one is feeling better.

Ferumbras, let me know what you think of C25K; I'm tempted to give it a go. I have some issues with my foot on occasion, but I'm hoping as I drop more weight, it will be less of a problem.
