Thumbs up

I had my best workout today! I just kept pushing myself and completed all my goals for the day back to back! I'm so happy and proud that I did it!

1 hr water aerobics, 1 hr of Zumba, 25 minutes c-to-5k training session, 35 mins spinning/stationary bike, PLUS 30 mins strength training and crunches = 3hrs cardio and a half hr strength training!!!

Also, I lost 2 lbs when I weighed this morning! Yay! I just know I'm gonna make my August goal. (11 to go by Labor Day weekend.)

Wow, that is a LOT of working out in one day! I feel exhausted and all like "yeah, thats enough" after 45 minutes... so good for you! Good luck hitting your labour day goal, sounds like you're on the right track!

Somewhere along the way I subconsciously set a goal for myself to work out 3 hrs a day 5-6 days a week. I'm not even sure when I started feeling this way. I just built up to it.

So far today I've done 2 hrs 45 mins of cardio and i keep telling myself I really need to do 15 more mins. I don't know why, I just feel like my work isn't done yet. (Like cleaning the whole house but not taking the garbage out. I really need to take out that trash or I'm gonna drive myself nuts.)
Fortunately I have an after-dinner walk planned so I'll get that done.

Does anyone else do this? Or am I a basket case?

3 hours a day for 5 - 6 days a week...Can you maintain that once you hit your goal weight?

Not trying to be "Debbie downer"...but usually people don't have success if the diet/exercise isn't maintainable in the long run.

If it is maintainable, you are my hero

Glad to see everyone else joining us with the workouts!

Being able to keep up the workout that I do has been key this time around. I used to do really intensive 2 - 3 hour workouts during the week... from biking, elliptical, strength, swimming... etc. But I just ended up getting exhausted/busy after a month. It's hard to keep that kind of commitment up.

This time I'm sticking with a como of things that are easy to do at home, take up little time, can be done whenever... etc. I end up getting at least 30 mins in a day and I think that's pretty solid.
