Hi all - I am in Feb Challenge on Sparkpeople, may as well keep track with all of you well. Love the tracking over there, but the boards over here.

My plan: C25K - the three workouts/week and work in some additional workouts, maybe alternating swimming and elliptical on non-run days.

Hey all!

Well I understand whosya!!! I see how you are! LOL! Anyways yeah I went to church but I have to cook for the dinner tonight were are having a band so...I made some good stuff to take...So I did my elliptical today but no gym...I was really wanting to go too, but church, dinners, cooking. I couldn't fit it all in. Okay well I am down 4 lbs, so excited...I am on my way! Have a good week everyone...

Glad to have you!!!! i would start slooooow. I started with about 25 mins swimming 6 days a week. That did wonders!. i worked it up...added weight lifting...did couch to 5K ...added bikeing....added spin class...

Cardio is imprtant but building muscles is also excellant and zapping calories. In other words the denser your muscle the more calories they suck up to keep them going. Weight lifting is way overlooked by most women as they think they will get all muscley...this is not true.

4lbs is amazing Jess!!! Way to go!!1

I had a super workout today.... 60mins running yes 60!!! I made over 5 miles...10 min walk.....25 mins on the bike and 30 mins swimming laps..

That is the furthest i have ever run and it wasnt that bad.

[Jess30 1]

Welcome Brandymom1234,

I really like the elliptical, and I do weights, and zumba. You can also work out to tapes..at home. Welcome to the exercise thread, I am glad to have you!!!!

Whosyadaddy! What a great job of running today! You are smokin!!!

Stef, you can put me down for another 2 lbs lost. I am like Jess, I am now only 10 lbs shy of 100 lost. I'm not sure when I'll hit it though. I've got a "guys" weekend coming up. I don't plan on drinking like I did last year, but the diet won't be great. I'll just have to work extra hard to make up for up before and after.

Sidenote, I started doing interval training on the elyptical machines in Cardio Cinema at the gym this weekend. I'd forgotten all about that until some of you started talking about it recently. Thanks for the reminder. It was great and added a little something extra to think about instead of thinking about how much I had left to do.:eek:

[Jess30 1]

Congrat Ceraded!!! You can do it!!!

Congrat Ceraded!!! You can do it!!!

Thanks Jess. I just noticed we were banded 2 wks apart. It's nice to see another one in my time period getting "it". Keep up the good work. As I stated, you'll probably hit 100 sooner than me, but I won't be far behind.
