Thanks Souix! I figure I'm on a ten day streak so I better make today 11. It's actually rather motivating to know that each day I am making changes needed to achieve my goal. Plus I get a lot of motivation from you all. When I have people I know will tell me if I let things slide - I'm more apt to stick with the plan. I also don't want to let the Red team down. Here's to hoping the scale will be kind to us all. *raises water bottle in toast before skipping off to her morning workout*

I am right on track for my goals! Currently sweaty from a workout, but I feel great! Yesterday my food choices were very poor (best choice was water and apple, but I also had a milkshake, kettle corn, twix, and basic junk during the 9+ hours spent driving). Today is a better day.

Just got back from Seattle. I'm exhausted. Got all my goals in for the day (will post the usual update in the morning when my brain isn't in zzzzzzzz mode). Happy to say I am on the RED team. Go RED! Guess my motto should be "from Big Red to Red Hot" hehehe my tired brain likes the sound of that. *slips off to sleep* ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Seattle

Started the day off right! Got my EA Active workout in! Off to Seattle! *skips happily* Workouts may make me a morning person again...

6 day streak!

6 day streak!

Thanks Debbie! I'm keeping going. Today I had to squeeze in my workout between my morning job and lunch with my grandparents because I overslept my alarm and thus missed my morning workout time. I managed to get in 2 miles on the elliptical.

You crack me up Scott. I think I'd need the shoes off of everyone I know too I agree that it is great knowing that there are others going through the same self butt kicking exercises too. I know that right now I am really looking forward to either a) getting used to the pain of sore muscles or b) my muscles getting used to working so they are not as sore.

I don't think I realized how much coughing/laughing engaged my ab muscles until now

Achievement of the day - two 11 minute miles!

Tomorrow I drive my sister to Seattle so she can fly to Switzerland. That means leaving here by 6am and not getting home until very late. I have a EA workout scheduled for tomorrow as long as I wake up when my alarm is set I can do it before the drive. Otherwise I just need to make sure I get my miles in walking around the Pike's Place Market. I need to clock at least 2 miles tomorrow on my feet (I'll clock more than that in the car).

5 day streak!!!

5 day streak!!!

Thanks Don!

"there's no deadline on the million . just do 'em with a smile on your face " - Ketchuplover

ketchuplover - I got through 1 today. There was no smile though. My abs are killing me. My abs are telling me that the ab workout in my strength training program and in my walking dvds are killer. It may be next week before I start trying to knock anything off of that million.

I'm on a five day streak!!! I got in 2 workouts today! This morning I did the 4th workout in the EA Active 6 Week Challenge. Then while watching the Biggest Loser I hopped on the elliptical and walked for 75 minutes. I clocked 5 miles while watching the show. I feel good.

Day #5
1. Apple - check.
2. 8 + glasses - check.
3. EA Active 6 Week Challenge Workout #4 - 30 min - check.
75 min on elliptical - 5 miles- check.
