  • May 1st-7th
    Worked out 5 out of 6 days (started a day late). I managed at least 60 minutes each day.

    May 8th-14th
    NB: This week won't go so well. I leave town on the 11th and return on the 16th. Doubt I'll be getting in much exercise.

    5/8: 20 minutes strength training (stopped early as my elbow started to hurt ); 25 minutes on the elliptical, starting up C25k (peer-pressure and all. We'll see how this goes); 45 minute walk with DH.
    5/9: 60 minutes group step class.
    5/10: 60 minutes kick-boxing class. This will be my last workout for a week, as I'm going out of town and won't have access to a gym or really any time, plus I'm sharing a room. So I guess I really need to focus on eating right so I at least maintain.
    5/11: Nothing, unless you count running from one end of the terminal to the other to catch my connecting flight.
    5/12: Nothing.
  • Ugh.. was sick last week - having issues with a digestive disease I have - but doing better these last few days..

    Today was an epic fail at the gym. Hubby and I went to play racquetball and I forgot to eat breakfast first. I crashed, big time, after 45 minutes. I could barely take another step. Lesson learned. Sheesh.

    I normally hit the gym on Saturdays, but my husband was out of town last night and, of course, my youngest one came down sick. I got less than 3 hours of sleep... I can hardly stand, much less work out. I'm hoping to get a nap in when he gets home this afternoon.

    Gale, hope the little one is feeling better.

    Ferumbras, let me know what you think of C25K; I'm tempted to give it a go. I have some issues with my foot on occasion, but I'm hoping as I drop more weight, it will be less of a problem.
