Sorry I've been MIA this week. It has been a busy week with late work nights. I did get in abs yesterday and today so far I did back. Hope to get biceps in tonight.
Amelia, your pictures show the progress you have made. Great job. have fun with the tennis.
Roxie, enjoy your rest week. I've been trying to gently get DH back into fitness. He actually joined a gym this week. Hopefully he will use it.
Hi Elaine and Andrea.

Good Morning,
Well I don't know how other than the fact that I have been to busy to eat my snacks in the morning and afternoon and the fact that I was sick yesterday I have managed to lose inches in my midsection and hips I haven't done anything. I am on the road again today not alot of choices for lunch and still not feeling 100%.
Amelia-what is your plan for today?
Jean-isn't it crazy how all of a sudden work has become busy for everyone?

I was the last one to post? Must be a busy day for all.
Just reporting that all i did today was mow the lawn for about 45mins. My head was killing me and my nose kept running so i had to stop. I got some dayquil and im feeling kinda better...guess i have a cold.
Im going to the park tomorrow, if nothing else but to walk. This week will be a wasted week as far as weightloss goes No weight work yet, only two days of 'kinda' cardio(tennis) ugh...oh well.

Hey guys...im taking dayquil and it seems to be helping. I went to bed at 9pm last night. I was soooooo tired and my head was killing me.
I made myself go to the park this morning and walk for 45mins. I was actually suprised to see that i burned 340cals..not bad. Thats all im doing today. Besides the regular house chores(blah)

Good Morning,
Even though my body is enjoying the rest week my mind isn't I feel I need to be doing something so tonite I will try to do yoga. DD got the results of her lab back and she has and elevated blood level see has to see a hemotologist tomarrow she is telling everyone in the family she has a rare blood disease so I have spent many hours on the phone correcting everyone. 1 out of 10 people have this disease so she thinks she is one of them.
Amelia-glad to hear you are feeling alittle better sounds like a nasty cold this weather change doesn't help.

Amelia, hope you are feeling better today.
Roxie, Hope it is nothing serious with DD.
I don't think I got a chance to post yesterday. In the morning it was bis and tris with a little interval cardio from a web site. She uses tabata training. I only tried the first 2 exercises and that nearly killed me, LOL. here's the link http://www.bodyrock.tv/category/workout-routines/20-minute-interval-cardio-workout/
The site is very interesting with a lot of different exercises on it. Then last night was step at the gym. We still had a sub so it wasn't really intense. This morning I did 30 minutes walk.jog with the dogs and then chest work. I'm slowly catching up on my misses workouts from the beginning of the week.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Morning
Today im doing a circuit...not sure which one yet. I went online last night and read through a couple of success stories,which helped motivate me to get back on track agian. I also peeked at the scale this morning,thinking i would be atleast 4lbs of water weight heavier and i was suprised to see the same wieght as last week...which is weird? Not complaining though. The past two days i haven't counted cals and i only got one day of cardio in...so im calling it a rest week and moving forward
Jean-I checked out that link..those workouts do look challenging. I will have to try them. Thanks for the link
Hey to everyone. I will be alone tonight(yay) my kids are going to my moms and DH has to work...party time

Amelia, nice job on the re-motivation strategy. Good job on the maintaining too. Enjoy your day to yourself.
Roxie, good luck with the morning workouts. I prefer them, but 4:00 comes so early for me that sometimes I just want to sleep in. I only do the 4 o'clock thing 3 days a week.
This morning was a 500 calorie jog/walk. I didn't care how far or how long I went, I just wanted to make sure I burned 500 calories and I did.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

Good Morning,
Today I am going to do some yoga and then figure out how I want to put together Kelly Coffey Meyers workouts to make a rotation.
Amelia-good luck with your calorie burn.
