Been outta topuch with you guys for awhile. I've started my own personal "learn to run" program...On Monday did my 3rd session of walk/run 90 sec. intervals 8x. Did an hour of weights today and tomorrow AM will do my 4th 90 sec walk/90 sec run training. It ain't easy (the running) and at this point I'm still so new at it I can't say as I'm really enjoyig it, but i think the effort will pay off so it will be worthwhile keeping up with. I found some info on a web site regarding how to increase the run interval and decrease the walk interval, but I think I will continue at the 90 sec each interval until I've done it at least 6 times...then i'll work at increasing the run interval....haven't lost anymore weight, which I blame on the Hagen Daz sale, but I haven;t gained either so.....keep up the good work everyone. i'm very impressed by you all!
One day.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.
On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

Didn't get to go to the gym last night. 
Got stuck going to my mother in law's to help w/ yard work since she twisted her ankle.
Did I mention my mother in law is the devil? 
Going to the gym tonight unless I get ambushed by Reavers.

JBW- sounds good, keep it up!
Went to the gym today, got in 30 min. on elliptical, 15 each on bike and treadmill. Not sure if I'll get to weights or not.

@CoPilot:
Hope you get better soon 
Today I had to run around a fair bit which intailed a bunch of stairs. To my surprise it didn't leave me out of breath! So, looks like it all hasn't gone away
For my current situation, I think the only practical thing is to include as many stairs in my day as possible. It'll stay like this until the end of June. Then I can get back to some actual workouts
You guys keep up the great work

Hi all!
Just a few sets of lunges, squats and resistance band work today for me. Oh, and some crunches with my exercise ball. Not a very challenging day, but it's the best I could do. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to put in a good jog!

Is "Reavers" a pseudonym for the mother in law as well?

Like I've said before, every little bit counts.
Me? Haven't been to the gym since my early morning escapade on Monday, but I have been riding my bike all over campus and mostly living off of Sugar Free Red Bull, Coffee, Tea, and the odd glass of vanilla soy milk. Healthy? No. Convenient? Yes.
Also managed to go to sleep last night for the first time since Sunday at noon. That was awesome. Also been working a lot and that's sort of physical.
As for working out, I squeezed some toning in tonight. But I just did some laundry and now I have socks again. This means I can go to the gym tomorrow!!!
Informal Poll: Should I take my birthday money and buy a scuba mask & snorkel AND something else, scuba mask & snorkel AND new rollerblades, or scuba mask & snorkel AND new rollerblade wheels?
It's so hard to decide. My blades right now are about 1/4 to 1/2 a size too small, but aside from the crappy wheels, they're alright. If i don't do anything involving rollerblades, the money will probably be put towards the 1.5-2 months I'm taking off of life and spending in Hawaii (since I won't be working, I need airfare, etc etc etc).

Could be, though I would rather run into actual Reavers then my mother in law. LOL!
Hit the gym hard last night. Did 45 minutes of weights then an hour of cardio. Burned a total of 600 calories between the cross trainer machine & the stationary bike.
Scale is busted at the gym & we don't have one at home. Really wanted to weigh in last night to see how I am doing. Had two ladies in the office comment on how I am losing weight & looking better.

Wow, best workout day ever!! Went to the gym, did 20 minutes each on the elliptical and treadmill. I then did around 30-40 minutes of toning/weights and such. I went back to the bike for another 15 minutes and back on the elliptical for 20 minutes (because I had an unnatural amount of energy today:) I burned just over 400 calories I believe, so yay!

Persephone-
I don't know how fast you move when you're on the equipment, but I'd hazard a guess that you burned over 400 because the elliptical can usually get a person to near 400 in 30 minutes.
AWESOME work though. I'm jealous.
Here the gym already closed for "finals schedule", which is lame because my job stays open normal hours for finals week. Boo.
