Saturday I food shop for at least 4 hours so I do tons of walking then. I have been told the body needs one day off a week so Sunday will be my day off.

2 Two Mile Walking/Aerobic Videos About 32 Min each Monday - Friday ( 1344 )
Resistance Training About 40 min Mon/Wed/Fri ( 520 )

All my good progress this week has disappeared! Eek.. I will once again shamelessly cut and paste from Shy Moments' post. (Thanks! :wave:)

And today I didn't bike to work, worked over 11 hours, ate take out (Japanese, so it was moderately healthy, but still take out) and didn't do any other exercise either, so while this is not my most impressive day to start accountability again, it's definitely motivating. :carrot: On the upside, I bought the Jillian Michael 30-day Shred DVD I read about somewhere on this forum, and bought an exercise ball. Onward and upward! :broc:

My goal is to exercise 6 days a week, and to never have a day where I just sit around, even on my rest day.

01 - None--hungover and tired from a wedding the night before :drinkup:
02 - Biked to work ( approx 55 min and 15 km) including biking up the Giant Hill I used to only walk up
03 - Same
04 - Same, except walked up the hill (long day)
05 - Same, walked up the hill
06 - Nothing--just walking to and from bus and errands, about 30 min
07 - Biked to errands, about 30 minutes, and did Jillian Michaels' 30-day Shred
08 - Cleaned for two hours (does that count? Um, not 1 to 1 though...), walked 15 min to the subway and did Jillian Michaels' 30-day Shred
09 - Biked to work including biking up the Giant Hill
10 - Jillian Michaels' 30-day Shred (had to get up early to pack for my trip, so couldn't do anything more)
11 - Hotel gym: 10 min running on the treadmill, 15 min on the bike, 10 minutes resistance/stretching
12 - Hotel gym: 25 min on the bike, 10 minutes resistance/stretching
13 - Hotel gym: 20 min HIIT on the treadmill, 15 minutes resistance/stretching
14 - A property field trip: walked a path in the woods for an hour
15 - Jillian Michaels' 30-day Shred
16 - Biked to work (approx 55 min and 15 km) including biking up the Giant Hill, and biked to and from grocery shopping
17 - Biked to work, including the Giant Hill
18 - Biked to work, including the Giant Hill
19 - Biked to work, including the Giant Hill
20 - 22 min of walking/jogging, but the jogging was hill training
21 - 45 min or so yoga/stability ball
22 - 45 min or so stability ball
23 - Biked to work, including the Giant Hill
24 - Biked to work, including the Giant Hill
25 - Biked to work, including the Giant Hill
26 - Walked, around 40 min total
27 - Biked to work, including the Giant Hill
28 - 25 min of walking/jogging, but the jogging was hill training
29 - 50 min of stability ball/cardio
30 - Biked to work, including the Giant Hill, and going to the grocery store and carrying my bike up an extra 5 flights of stairs to get up from the trails to the store

I have been getting an average of one hour of exercise each day. Sometimes I take a rest day and do more during the week. I walk.

This was my third time through this DVD and I noticed today that I'm able to pay attention to the subtilties of the cues and movements rather than just frantically trying to keep up with the program. I'm starting to like it.

So far - an hour of INTENSE weights. I really love that I've been upping my weights and making progress again. I'd been pretty stagnant for a while. I'm changing it up and working to failure and really feeling some changes, particularly in my LB (I hadn't been sore there in a while). I also have ALWAYS slacked on abs, so I'm working on spending as much time there as I spend on my UB and LB (as opposed to doing 50 min of UB and LB and then throwing on 5 min of abs at the end). I'm doing 20 minutes of each and it's really feeling good.
