Though it was tough, got through my workout today.
Hopefully I'll be able to do it again tomorrow.

I read somewhere that it take 90 days to create a habit, so stick with it! You're almost through the first 30 days!

Got in a 2.6 mile walk at lunch. Heading to the gym at 4pm when I get off of work.

Did four sets of squats and two or three sets of lunges, I lost count. I'm planning on a walk later but don't know if I'll have the time. Also got in some arm work. I can't believe I've kept up with all of this for so long. It's a new record!

Of course! I'll answer any questions to the best of my ability. Thanks to all for the warm welcome.

Go me! I just got back from playing a mean game of baseball!
I talked my friend into playing catch with me. While we were at the local university, a couple younger kids came up and asked us to play with them, so we shrugged and said why not? And hour and a half later we felt good!
I don't know how many calories baseball burns, but my heart was pumping, so I think I did a decent workout.
Tay, quick question, if you don't mind: Any suggestions on which workouts would be best to get rid of belly flab on a woman? I'm trying to alternate between cardio and a pilates dvd that focuses on core and abs right now, but I could always use an expert opinion!

First of all, playing baseball is a great way to burn calories, roughly 300 calories per hour! To answer your question: Your definitely on the right track, cardio is the best way to lose inches. Pilates is great for working your core. Unfortunately, where we carry our weight most is where we lose last! I know it sucks. If you've been doing that pilates dvd for a while (say over 6 weeks) your body is probably ready for something new. If you got a yoga/balance ball, those are great for working your abs, floor crunches are always good...old but good. If you've got other dvd's that focus on abs, those will give you enough of a change as well. For cardio - one of the best ways to burn calories and work the abs is kickboxing. I have a few dvd suggestions if you'd like them. Another cardio option is swimming. Talk about overall toning and cardio killer! You'll burn roughly 12 calories a minute - 720 cals per hour! I hope this answers your question. If you want more specifics let me know. Great job!

OK, I'm in.
3 sets of 50 push-ups, 15 minutes on the speed bag, 15 on the heavy bag (punching & kicking), an hour on the bike.
My workout isn't bad, it's the M&M's and Singapore Mei-fun that are getting me...
Do you know what your sin is Captain?
Awww hell. I'm a big fan of all seven.
