Went to the gym today for the first time since Dec 1, and it felt great (if tiring!) to get a good, hour-long cardio workout in. I'm not technically supposed to be doing any moderate or intense cardio for at least another week, but I think if I stick to the eliptical or bike, which doesn't involve as much bouncing, that I'll be ok. I'm hoping that in a week or two I can try to do some running again.

Tabbycat here. Got back from visiting my mother this afternoon. I managed to do only one day of exercise in the 8 day visit.

Day 7 of 10

Dec 29: two mile jog

Day 8 of 10

The only way to meet my exercise goal for December is to work out these last two days. I better do it, because I did not lose any weight all month! (I'm afraid I even gained some)

I'm sure glad January is almost here. I need a fresh start!

I'm with you Tabbycat. I can still meet my goal, but only if I really push it. That's the plan!
