This week has been a whirlwind of crazy stuff. My eating has also been crap, due to my pseudo TOM (I still get the cravings and water retention, but no actual TOM) and a family health scare. I worked out today, and am so far on plan for today. One bad day turned into four, but I'm stopping it here! Back on plan starting now.

Sandye: Yes, the workouts become more streamlined once you've seen the instruction videos once, so just bear with it, they will go away. You'll also get some nice surprise videos when you reach certain goals which I kinda liked, you'll see..

HI chickies,

dcapulet, wtg on a fresh start today Hoping you get TOM over with and feel better and that all is okay with the little one.

Hi NSM and phenomenal woman, and all,,, wtg girls!

I'm sleepy, going to do some sofa surfing tonight!!!!!! No swim today, I didn't get much sleep last night (though my sleeping has been good) and was wiped out! Good sleep is so important! I had a tough july (and part of june) with insomnia and hot spells, could of sworn I was going through perimenopause. Anyways..........that is gone, thank god! My sleep is back to normal and good thing...when one is tired like that it makes it difficult.
I feel like a good movie tonight...hopefully something good on. I did manage a walk with DH and am thankful for that. We went along the river and oh the flowers are just so pretty. Have a great night girls and I will see you all tomorrow.

End of Week One

Wow! A week gone already! We're all doing a fantastic job!!!!

I decided to sit out my extra workout yesterday--I'm glad now that I didn't make it an official goal to work out twice a day. I just didn't have it in me and I figured I should give my muscles a chance to recover. I'm doing the 30DS for sure tonight though! And I'm getting a couple of exercise videos from Netflix soon so perhaps I'll do those on my cardio days--we'll see.

NSM~ thanks for the info on the EA 30DC--I figured they would drop the instructional part and get down to brass tacks sooner or later! I'm looking forward to it!! But, like you, I might wait to start it Officially until next month, I'd like to do it from start to finish I think...we'll see.

Keep up the fantastic work ladies!!! You're doing GREAT!!!

I had a good first week and felt very comfortable with it except I may tweak things once I'm done with C25K. I'm feeling some tension in one calf every once in a while that I'm monitoring. I don't want any injuries, so I will stay on top of that. My planned rest day couldn't have come at a better time! Otherswise, I know I'm burning some good cals here and that rocks!

Hey all!
Just another drive by for me. One more Curves workout.
