Jacqui & Stay Puft: I guess we're all different. You guys appear not to like cardio. I love cardio! I just put my iPod on, listen to the likes of Pat Boone or Hank Snow, and off I go. I just lose myself in my music and I barely notice that I'm exercising...it's so mindless. Have you tried doing cardio to music...or does that not help?
As for me, I had a "rest" day today...a rest from formal exercise that is, but not an actual rest day, since I've been running around all day like chicken with no head trying to clean the house, pack, run errands and get everything in order before I leave tomorrow.
I'll report back on my exercise progress upon my return. I'll no doubt do lots of walking when I'm away, although I won't be formally tracking my miles or minutes.
Tuscany, I'm not an exerciser in general. However, I do like to walk. Today, though, I had a terrible headache and just wanted to sleep. When I did walk, it felt like a chore. Normally, I want to walk 2 miles or more (although I have to keep it down to one mile right now or my heel is never going to heal)! Not today though. I just wanted to stay in bed! Anyway, have a fabulous time on your European trip!!!!!

Good thing I signed up for this. I was about to skip my workout today b/c I'm swamped with school work. But if I skipped, I would've "failed" the challenge b/c I set my goals on a weekly basis. So I took a break from the books and worked out. I'm so glad I did too because it helped me destress.
Yay, crispin! I love that it had other benefits for you, too.

Ugh..off to a slow start. Hitting that part of my cycle where I get slammed with work, exercise starts to slip and then healthy eating falls too. Trying like mad to get my workouts back on track!

09/05: 60 mins Bodypump (90/850)
09/09: 60 mins Bodypump (150/850)
Miles achieved! Total: 43.76/40 miles as of today I think I'll be setting a higher goal next month! 7/20 gym workouts done. Working on finishing that goal now for the rest of the month.
