well my progress is in my signature. I took advantage of the hills today. I also did some light strength training. Those hills will shape up my butt and legs in no time.

P.S. joy, I am going to bow out after this month. I am reporting these same workouts, etc. in another group so I have the accountability firmly in place. In fact, in my other group, we are competing in teams (steps) as well as individual efforts so there is a lot of "healthy competition" going on in my life right now.

I agree with the advice you gave jendiet. I too had to get my body strengthened first so I could do every day activities that involved bending from the lower body without injuring my lower back.

Thank you for leading this thread. It is a great addition to this forum.

What a crappy month for exercise! The whole family has been laid low by a really nasty cold/cough, so no gym for me. We finally managed to have everyone feeling good for a nice walk on the obstacle trail on base, though. Fun, even though we were dodging fallen trees from the ice storm the whole time.

This was the worst week for me. Thank god for my 2hr Monday exercise class. My steps were subpar most of the week. Scale shows my laziness too. Must get my act together think hormonal bloat has to do with a lot of it. At this rate I will be lucky if I am 208 by February 28th. Ugh.

Well I'm going to make my official goal 5 reps squats, counter push-ups, and lunges, 3x week, 2x week 15 min cardio intervals.

So far this week I have done 2 15 min cardio intervals on the hills around here and and two sessions of strength training. If I finish tomorrow's session then I will hit goal for this week.

Well, today I feel all wobbly and weak but I am pretty sure that has more to do with the workout I did last night than anything else. My poor old dog injured her foot so instead of walking her I went for a run; I did Couch25k. It was ridiculously hard! I have always found running to be really hard no matter how fit I am otherwise. Even when I can do an hour on the elliptical doing intervals and can leg press 200 pounds, I still have a hard time with running. My body hates the impact (big boobs) and I just feel weak. I think my Thalassemia (a form of anemia) probably hinders my blood oxygenation at high demand times like running, which doesn't help.

All night long I felt my body giving off a lot of heat, which it only does when I have had a seriously fat-burning workout. Today I feel all weak and wobbly but I can't tell if that's a result of the fact that yesterday I did an Atkins fat fast or the fact that I did Couch25K. Probably a bit of both. I don't have a fever. My blood ketones are 1.9 (optimal) and my glucose is 85 (perfect).

Anyway, I did it!:carrot: And I plan to do it again tomorrow.

shr1nk1ngme - I'm sure you already know this, but a really good bra makes a HUGE difference. I'm normally a 32G and never thought I could do anything high-impact until I got a nice Wacoal sports bra. Expensive, but seriously life-changing.

shrinking--running is always incredibly hard for me too--so I take my cue from my body--walking hills now that is hard, but my body loves it.

Good job working through the rut.
