30 minutes cardio finished

I am going to join in here, if no one minds :)

I am on a rebound journey to get back on track and I know that for me everything follows my exercise patterns. i took off 35 pounds and maintained that weight for over a year, but major lifestyle changes allowed old habits to creep back in and before I knew it the weight was back on.

The good thing is I know what works for my body and I learned from this whole experience that it all depends on exercise for me. When I am working out out I LOVE it and crave it and eating healthy is very easy. When my workouts slip my eating is close behind, when I pick up workouts the eating is easy again.

So, this is the perfect group for me. I need to get back to exercising and I just know the eating will follow suit. So...I hope no one minds me joining in. I could use the accountablity to get this going again.


Today, my goal is to go for a walk (half hour at least, shooting for an hour though), and to do the Yoga Fat Burning routine from our on demand channel..it is almost an hour long but I used to love doing it, always made me feel so good afteward. I think it's a good start.

Hi! Of course you can join! We'll be glad to have ya with us :D :hug:

ok, back to this thread.

Aug 3rd-5th prepared for my trip with lots of cleaning and running errands.

August 5th-9th. Lots of activity. Swimming in the ocean in very strong currents, wading through water for resistance exercise, walking, running across hot sand, pulling beach wagon, climbing lots of steps at the water park at a good clip, lots of swimming, climbing ropes at the tree house, running across hot pavement, carrying heavy coolers.

August 10th: I am determined to do some regular cardio, and some weights. That is my goal.

Welcome back Jennifer and woooo :cheer2: :hug:

No workout today but thought I'd stop in and say HI.

Well, I did NOT accomplish my goals! Tomorrow is another day. Going to call this one quits!

August 10: STS Mesocycle 2, week 2 - chest, shoulders, triceps = 64 mins.

We all have those days Jennifer :hug: Like you said tomorrow is a new day :)

Hi Penguin, did you see the new STS tickers at cathe.com? I wonder if it would be ok to use one here. I'm not sure after reading the link policy. :?:

Great job everyone :cp: We can do this :carrot: - love that smilie!

Narnia, No, I didn't see the tickers! I'll have to go look at them! I did see the new Cathelete t-shirts and thought about getting one. From what I read on the site the XL would be too small. PFFT! My theory is if the site allows you to copy/move something offsite its okay to use elsewhere. I may be wrong here!

Chic, :hug: to you too!

Planning a workout for tomorrow!

August 10th-

30 min turbo jam

15 min walk was going for a hour but my dogs got in trouble ruined it. I will make up tomorrow.

Narnia, Step 2A # 5 of the post SNM says you can copy the ticker onto other sites including forums. Very cool!

Great job all!! :cheer2: :cheer3: :cheer:

Today is still rest day and I am happy since I got visited by TOM this morning :(

TOM is a big poop head. I'm on mine too. It's making me hungrier and just wanting to lay around! ugh!

Thanks for the encouragement ladies. I CAN AND WILL ride a stationary for 30 minutes and do some kind of weight lifting routine today!

Woo Jennifer! You can do it!!!! :cheer:
