I discovered a lovely secret today. The gym is totally empty at 1:30 in the afternoon. Have a great day everyone!

My goal is 20 workouts this month.


5/01 - 35 min run and 20 min stairmaster (1)
5/02 - 20 min stairmaster and 30 min dance (2)
5/03 - 10 min walk and 20 min stairmaster (3)
5/04 - 35 min stairmaster and 15 min elliptical (4)
5/05 - 50 min elliptical and 18 min incline run (5)
5/06 - 15 min run and 12 min elliptical (6)

I'm going to start training 3 times/week, and in addition to that taking long walks.

I'll also try and throw in some swimming in my schedule, since it's nice doing something different in a while.

I made it to the gym today, though my workout was a little lighter than usual. From time to time, I have an issue with plantar fasciitis and my foot is hurting today. But, I'm proud that I made it to the gym anyway.

Have a great day.

DH, DD, and DS all have to work today and felt bad that they won't spend Mother's Day with me. (How do I nicely tell them how much I'm looking forward to a day to myself!) But the kids don't work until this afternoon, so they asked if I wanted to go to an early brunch. A buffet of unlimited foods that I love seems like a disaster waiting to happen at this point. Instead, the three of us are going to the gym together.

If you'd suggested that to me last Mother's Day, I would have had a good laugh.

Have a great day everyone and Happy Mother's Day to those who celebrate.

May Exercise Goals:

- Go to the gym AT LEAST 3 times/week
- In addition to that, ride my bike to school, or walk
- Swim at least once a week
- Run twice/week, in the mornings

Hope you'll all succeed! Good luck!!

rmc9142: love your idea of celebrating Mother's Day at the gym!
