So after a month of no exercise I'm more than ready to jump back into this. 169, here I come!!

I'm working a lot more, and don't have convenient access to a gym any more, so I'm lowering my total exercise time.

I'm going to start working on toning my tummy, so I want to be doing a few crunches every day. And I'm going to try my hardest to jump back into the C25K.

Exercise goals: 750 min / 14 C25K workouts / 31 days of crunches
Completed: 47 min / 1 C25K workouts / 2 days of crunches

Can't believe it's October already! I'm a little over halfway thru a Body-for-Life 12 week challenge, and I haven't been seeing much in the way of results lately because I've been half-assing it in the last few weeks. I'm ready to kick it into high gear for the next month, and hopefully lose around 5-8 lb before my friend's Nov 10 wedding.

BFL plan involves 3 days/wk of weights, 3 days of cardio intervals (HIIT) and I try to add in about 25 mins of regular cardio on all 6 of those days, with Saturday as my day off. Main obstacle this month, aside from extreme busyness at school, is a trip to West Virginia to visit my best friend Oct 11-14. I will bring running gear to get in some cardio, but weights that Friday are probably not happening.

Oct 1: weights (upper body), skipped cardio
Oct 2: cardio intervals, lite cardio on elliptical
Oct 3: 0 (grr)
Oct 4: cardio intervals, yoga sculpt class
Oct 5: 0
Oct 6: *free day

Oct 7: cardio intervals, medium steady state cardio (finally back in the gym!)

Oct 2: Walk 40 Min
Oct 3: Treadmill/Walk 1 Hour
Oct 4: Elliptical 15 Minutes & Walk 1 Hour

I am going to ease myself back into doing "The Firm" and I am still working on learning how to run (without feeling like I am dying!). My goal is to run three times a week and do The Firm three times a week.

Week One Goal (270 Minutes)
10/1- 3 laps running, 4 laps walking at park - 45 minutes total
Total Wash! Was busy moving bf into town all week!

Week Two Goal (270 Minutes)

My goal is to keep up my weekly activites throughout this month! I have a habit of losing momentum, so this will be a good challenge for me. I am also aiming to lose 5lbs by Halloween!

Oct 1 - 10 mins warm up cardio, 10 mins upper body weights (unfortunately I forgot to eat my mid-morning snack and that resulted in feeling lightheaded, shakey and clammy! I had to give up working out and get some food inside me - will make up the rest tomorrow). Tonight I'm bellydancing for 2 hrs.
Oct 2 - 45 minutes on the elliptical trainer. Walked the dog for 40 minutes afterwork.
Oct 3 - Bellydancing
