Today is his 1 year birthday. I bought him a cupcake and a cookie from the specialty pet store. The cupcake has blue icing. The cookie is in the shape of a bone. It has white icing w/Happy Birthday in blue letters. They are totally cute!

A friend let me borrow her 21 Day Fix workouts. I think she has gone through the rotation 3 times already. I think she is trying to kill me. :rofl: Seriously! I am going to be hurting tomorrow. I am going to ask about the weights she used. I might need to go down a little on the weight.

Check-In: 21 Day Fix - Cardio Fix

YumaDeb Welcome back. Good job getting back to your program.

Teacher The rotation is only 21 days. It's 3 solid weeks without any rest days. A friend of mine is at the end of her 4th rotation with this program. She has gotten great results. I don't think I will get the kind of results she has gotten. She really cleaned up her food and all. It's no easier, :lol:. Here's a breakdown of the workouts: http://forum.videofitness.com/showthread.php?t=200893

Diana- is work really busy lately?

today- elip 45 min

Teacher Good job on the elliptical. We are not very busy right now. It's only me and DH so if we have business we are busy, per say. :lol: I tend to be more busy during certain times of the month. I have more going on during the beginning of the month due to month end closing. I tend to get to bed too late on the weekends and it really messes me up for the week. I need to try to get to bed early. I still say I need to find a way to retire. :lol:

Hello Everyone!:wave:

That 21 Day Fix sounds intense.

Last week I started adding a 10-minute walk every afternoon to my daily routine. Sometimes my partner, Woody, goes with me. Monday I added a 10-minute walk in the mornings before I start my day. Then I got busy and didn't do any other exercise on Monday.

Yesterday I worked out but forgot to post. Here is what I did:

JILLIAN MICHAELS BEGINNERS WORKOUT - FRONTSIDE: CIRCUIT 1 and CIRCUIT 2
YOGA CONDITIONING FOR WEIGHT LOSS WITH MERRILY - 1/2 MODIFIED BEGINNERS PRACTICE: BODY AND BREATH AWARENESS

I'll post later what I do today.

Enjoy your day!:flow1:

Check-In: 21 Day Fix - Lower Body Fix w/8's

I had a hair appointment today and could only fit in this one workout.

YumaDeb Great job on those workouts. The 21 Day Fix can be really intense, depending on how much you put into it. There is a modifier who does a great job.

Gingerjv HI and welcome to the check-in! :welcome2: Walking is actually the best exercise you can do.

Teacher Are you still excited about the new job? Do you think it will have any effect on your workouts or your weight loss goals?

Laura Hi :wave:

Waving Hi all around! Enjoy your evening!

Good Morning, Everyone! :wave:

Last night I added on: Your Life is in Your Own Glands from Fat Free Yoga

Hi everyone!!!

Diana- I'm still excited about the job and also very nervous. It's going to be very overwhelming in Aug but I'm looking forward to a set schedule. I'm hoping to stay focused and make some progress with losing weight. Food is always my biggest struggle. I plan to mostly workout at home so hopefully I'll be able to stay focused. Time will tell but I'm hoping not to completely fall apart.

today- elip 45 min
