  • crispin- those two pounds were waiting a week which is about how long it took for the water weight (i think) to disappear. Originally it was closer to 6, which was still better than I thought it would be after 3 weeks of pretty much eating every meal out.
  • Did the Sansone video again last night for another 2 miles. I need to get some cardio in today. I'll have to tell my lungs to prepare for panting.

    GOALS:
    • Complete lazy man marathon: 4 miles
    • 12 hours cardio: 30 minutes
    • 8 hours yard work: 30 minutes
    • Be able to do 50 squats in a row: No
    • Be able to do 2 full on my toes pushups in a row: No
    • Learn 2 beginner yoga poses: No

    Turtle11, I bet that Shred does do great things for the body. I'll have to try it later this year.

    Great job everyone!
  • I started level 1 again yesterday and barely broke a sweat, so I did level 2 also. I might have to revise my goals, but I want to see if I have the time commitment to do two a day. Plus my legs are really sore this morning.

    September goals:
    20 Days JM 30 day shred
    40 miles walking

    Sept 1: Hiking
    Sept 2: Off
    Sept 3: JM Level 1 AND Level 2 (18 left) plus 1.5 miles treadmill (38.5 left)
  • Ok I am doing a pretty crappy job of getting in exercise. I can make some pretty compelling excuses (my infant is teething and is constantly strapped to my chest, the two littles I take care of haven't been napping properly, and I have been working 15 hours a day) but even if the excuses SOUND like reasons, I know they are really just excuses. I am still going to get my 1040 minutes in this month! Just need to get inspired!
  • This is an awesome idea!!!

    In September I'm really going to focus on my yoga practice because it is building incredible strength and even though I haven't lost tons of weight yet, I can feel the change in my body from it.

    My September Yoga Goal: 1,000 minutes of yoga
    Sept 3 - 38 minutes (962 to go!)
    Sept 5 - 40 minutes (922 to go!)
  • 17/40 miles already done and it's only the 4th! I think I'll reach my goal and go beyond! Joining the gym on the 2nd was the best decision. Clocking up a bunch of miles on the cardio machines.
