40 minutes walk/jog on the treadmill. I have consistently done my cardio and it is paying off with weightloss.

monkeymama- great idea to use the time your son is at practice to get a workout in. Keep it up!

Well today is the last day of a two week vacation. Driving today and tomorrow. I do not have a scale so I do not know how I did weight wise for two weeks. Will know on Sunday AM.

I did pretty good on exercise.

Hiked the first day 3 miles with a 1000 ft change in elevation

Hiked 2 miles the second day

Hiked 2 miles the third day

Hiked 1 mile the fourth day

Hiked 1 mile and swam 30 minutes day five

For the next five days I swam laps at the pool at the hot springs for 45 minutes.

Eating was not as good - had martinis, mashed potatoes, some candy, and even a few bites of bread - things I have not been eating. I figure I only go on vacation occasionally and since I have done well so far, I did not stay as strict.

Is that just rationalization?

Back to the gym on Sunday, I hope. I have finished with my trainer for now and will just do cardio and some of the weights he showed me until after I have a surgery on my foot on Sept 17. After that, I will probably go back and work with him some more. He really keeps me moving and challenging myself.

My goal is to lose another 30 pounds by Christmas. I hope I have not gained much on vacation.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Not sure how to count this one.... went tubing and that is quite an arm workout! Was in the Water 2 1/2 hours give or take... I think it is fair to give myself at least 45 minutes of arms... I am dreading the soreness tomorrow!!!

HEY, I AM BACK FROM VACATION AND LOST 6.8 POUNDS.

OMG!!!!!!!

I can't believe it. I am eating a bit more, more liberally than before, but in small amounts and exercising. It is working !!!!!!!!!

I have NEVER lost weight on a vacation before!

I am pumped!!!!!!!!!!

Froggie D- great job! Goes to show how much excersise helps with weight loss. I worked out with my trainer today- abs. I took a day off from cardio. Lost 2 pounds last week- I am pleased with that as I am only 4 pounds away from my goal.

vlp- 4 lbs away! That is awesome--- you are truly an inspiration :thumbup:

Froggie- That is amazing that you lost so much during vacation! Glad to have you back.

Going in to work late today.... did 30 mins cardio max this morning- feels good to be able to do a strenuous workout again- it was actually harder than I remember I guess two weeks of lighter exercise really has an effect- hopefully I will get back to where I was soon though. My goal for this week- 200 minutes!! Going to skip right over the 195...

30/200
