Well it's week 10! And everyone is doing a shiny job. I think everyone (myself included) has hit some bumps, but everyone has continued along! Congrats!

New comers, or people thinking of joining, can check out the below thread to get a description of what is going on here.

Now for my update. I found time (and more importantly space) to do 1 1/2 sets of my workout. Though we'll see tomorrow if that 1/2 was a good or bad idea

Later today, I'll search for those roller-blades

Getting back on that horse

I just got back from the gym- did 30 minutes on the elliptical and 20 on the treadmill. I think I burned a total of 370 calories?- something like that. Hope everyone is doing well!

Ah, it has hard to believe it has been 10 weeks!

Didn't go to the gym this weekend, but I did do some major walking. Put in 6 miles on Saturday and another 8 on Sunday. My wife has really gotten into it & has even joined a walking club at her office. The kids are enjoying the walks on the trails at the local park, but they do whinge a mite about the pace I set.

I'll be in the gym again this afternoon. Only fourteen more weeks to Dragon Con. Got to look good in my costume.

I hear ya there! I'm going as Dancing River one day so I wanna do her justice

I forgot to add that I did my PM yoga last night as well. This week is the last week of school (I work in a public school district) so it's gonna be a bit hectic for me, but I think I'll be able to get in at least a small workout each day.

Walked a few miles to and from work today and then tossed in a short little workout at the gym afterward.

May try and step it up tomorrow if the hacking has subsided.

It's great to see people really getting into this. Persephone736, nice call


Well, that extra 1/2 did prove to be a bad idea. Gonna take a days rest, don't want to pull anything.


@Sassalicious:
It's awesome that you want to continue to workout. But, be careful. You don't want to hurt yourself.

I went to the gym and did 30 minutes on the elliptical, maybe 45 minutes(?) or so of weights, then 20 minutes on the bike and 20 on the treadmill. I had extra time since I don't have to go to work until much later so I thought I'd make the most of it. I burned just over 420 calories I think.

Ended up not working out because I went to see The DaVinci Code.

So I walked a few miles between home and work today.

Forgot to mention that after my mom came home last night we went to the park and walked about 1.5 miles. I'm a bit tired today so I won't make it to the gym but have been trying to fit in some basic toning exercises- squats, lunges, sit-ups and such.

Hey great idea! I haven't been working for a couple of months and through sheer sitting, I've managed to put on a stone and a half.

So do you post once a week about this time for an update?
