Well did my pilates-dvd was longer than I thought so I was ten minutes late for work. Good thing I have a good boss that over looks those kind of things. Day was pretty decent, had hoped to get in a little bit of exercise tonight but got caught up in cleaning and taking care of the kids. Sat down at nine to watch Slumdog Millionaire with the hubby and fell asleep into the second scene!

Penguin-glad to hear the surgery went good. Hope you get to feeling better.

jen-I hope your feeling better. Is the pain moving? I'd be careful, don't push it too much.

Diva-I feel the same way bout TDP and Sp. I like taking the quizzes and reading the different articles. I've signed up for a couple of dares on livestrong but don't really post on either site...usually just here.

Sunshine-Does that mean you finished level one?

Echo-great job on getting up and moving. When you do running/walking intervals, at what speed are you running? Do you stretch before you start your workout? Shin splints are definitely no fun, and I tend to get them from time to time, especially if I run outside.

Onderchic-Woohoo-leader of the pep squad thanks for keeping us motivated.

Nakedmango-great job on the exercise as usual!!

Well I best head to bed...insomnia sucks. Maybe I can get a few more hours before the day begins. I plan to get 30 minutes in on the treadmill this morning.

Everyone have a great day

thanks Dream710!! i run mostly on concrete towards the park, and then run in park, abit on the grass, but mostly concrete. i walk to warm up for about 7 minutes or so. and then start running. erm i dont know what my speed is. but its between running and jogging. and then i throw in a few 30 second sprints where i have to run as fast as i can, as if a tiger is chasing me! lol

my exercise confession

I did the p90x test. i didn't compeltely pass the test, but that's okay. i will just adapt the different exercises...

I did p90x workout 1 - (chest and back).
(altogether took about 1 hour and 50 minutes to do the workout). but i subsititued the exercise to my own level. like i cant do pull ups. so i used weights instead. and i cant do floor or knee push ups, so did them against the wall instead.

i felt great afterwards!! and still do!!! i feel that release of endorphines and that that nice sweet soft feeling in your muscles after you've exercised. (the parasympathetic response) and i feel a natural high!

i really enjoyed the workout. and i think that is important. if you are not enjoying it, or doing it until it hurts and dread it, than you wont do it regularly. i pushed myself here and there but not too much to cause too much pain or injury, feel the burn, but not pain! is my motto lol

i'm looking forward to day 2 of p90x workout - bring it!

i'm going to now fill in my worksheet

This is the 2nd day of missing my workout due to the female Crampies. Hopefully today is the last day and I can feel like a normal human being again...

Keep up the good work everyone!!!
