Not bad for my first month's tracking. Now I have a starting point to set goals. I would like to try to get more days in next month.

30 minutes HIIT on the TM and about 45 minutes of strength Training.

3--60-min yoga class
4--Ran 10K, 1:11:45. My longest run ever!!

Guys, I haven't been swimming in years, and today I just took a dip in the pool and whao.

At the beginning I couldn't breathe properly underwater, but as the laps went by, I found it easier and easier to control my breathing and my strokes. I did quite a long (though disappointing) jog yesterday and my legs were exhausted, so it was mostly breast stroke and arm power for push me through the water.

It was really fun! I love swimming! However, I'm used to a country club pool where there's a lot less people, instead of a public pool. There were kids all over going in all different directions and quite often halfway during a lap I have to stop and tread water for a bit to let the kids having their lessons to pass. Public pools are not that great.

I'm going to try swimming once or twice every month, see if I can make it a habit. Bad thing is, I need to pay everytime I go swim, so I'm not liking the money leaving my pocket park... Things like running and workout vids is a pay when you get the shoes/vid one time off...

Anyway, did my weigh in, gain 1kg. Really went over my calories on friday and saturday, so I'm guessing that's why. Knee and wrist pains also were around this week... Hopefully, this swim session helped!

Cheers, girls, have a great weekend!

Gonna jump in here if it's OK....

I walked the mutts for 3 miles after work on Friday then Angie and I took them to the duck pond and creek for about 3 more today...we are in a 5K tomorrow.

I hope to have 75 miles since I am back working closer to home and won't be on the road 3-4 hours a day.

6/75 MILES

4/1 - 1 hour weights
4/2 - 5 mile run
4/3 - 1 hour weights with PT

Of course it's okay EZ!

And welcome to all the new folks joining the thread. The exercise accountability thread is my of my favourite things on here. Glad to see you here!

I really enjoy this thread also. It really makes me strive to do my exercises!
A plus too is that since I've started getting up at 7am instead of 8:30 am before I started exercising, my body is starting to wake me up around 6:50. I usually wake up ready to go..
Although this morning my body didn't want to get up at 7am.. I ended up sleeping until 8:30, going to church and then exercising afterward. But, I'm glad I made room for it today!
Keep up the awesome work chickies!!
