Ok, put in a 3.69 mile walk (per the pedometer) yesterday at lunch. Went home and walked w/ the wife on the trails at the park. We walked the 1.75 mile trail twice, so that is another 3.5 miles. Took about an hour and a half due to the hills and rough terrain, but it was enjoyable.
Can't wait to weigh in on Friday.

I'm checking in after many days away from the board. Its good to be back. I splurged over the weekend and had 3 beers and greasy food in Vancouver BC, but since Monday morning food has been good and healthy.
I found a great recipe for Red Lentil Mulligatawny Soup. If anyone is interested in getting that email me off list (it is veggie). Unless the group wants like a weekely recipe on list? That might be fun.
For exercise, the Firefly DVD is great motivation and I have been doing 20-25 of cardio at home each day. And I walk the dog for about 45 minutes a day, but its pretty leisurely with all the places she stops to sniff and pee! This week I added cruches (100 a day) and squats (working up to 3 sets of 10) to the at home work out.
You all are great motivation! Keep up the good work. Good luck with weigh ins, mid terms and the like.

Awww, 3 beers isn't so bad. A night out for me is usually around 5 drinks and hard alcohol has way more calories than beer.
Congrats on keeping up with the workout and I think you should post the recipe on here.
As for me, I did 60 minutes of cardio today and I have to go to work tonight. I started to weigh-in today and then jumped off the scale when I remembered that water retention sucks.
Keep up the awesome work everyone!

So...I got almost a mile and a half walk which isn't as long as I would have liked but o well. Also did two sets of lunges and three sets of squats which is more than I've been doing so yay me:)

Hit the gym yesterday afternoon. I had to cut it a bit short due to dinner guests coming over. Did 25 minutes of weights, 20 minutes on the tread mill (on an 8.0 incline & 4.5 mph) & 20 minutes on the bike w/ steady incline.
Walked at lunch today & put in 3.25 miles.

Not a very successful day but at least I did something. Walked a mile and did two sets of lunges and two sets of squats. My legs better appreciate this:)

45 minutes of cardio. Unfortunately I binged like a mofo on crap that isn't even remotely healthy. It always happens this time of the semester.
Can't . . . wait . . .until . . . next . . .week . . .

Did my workout today. So, that makes 4 out of 5 days. Pretty good considering the business trip.
I'm thinking of making up that last day tomorrow, but we'll see how the muscles feel.
