okay SHovelled snow today for 2 hours, ran all over town and did step aerobics AND abs... *whew* lets get back on track finally!

Nice job Jessie, needed some reading material to keep me out of the kitchen so here I am. Keep up the good work. You can do this. I haven't started a gym log yet, but I have been on my treadmill faithfully for 3 days straight now doing a mile. This is a major accomplishment for me. Keep it up

Jessie, every time when I saw your avatar I must smile:-)
Regarding the snow shoveling. I read an intersting calculation. To clean up a driveaway from a couple of inches snow requires the same amount of work/calories than to move a piano up two floors.
So it seems you do have a very effective workout routine already.

Oh, how much I envy you... Having adult kids, living in South CA - I miss both kids, and the snow. What a wonderful memory: shoveling snow from our house all the way to the school, so kids did not miss even one day...

WOW...visitors in my gym log!!! I am sorry I sort of abandoned this thing! lol

I have worked out almost evyerday all week... 45 minutes of step aerobic and the ab workout from H***. plus I have been trying to get in crunches morning and night and usually get at least one of them in. I took yesterday totally off becuase my muscles still hurt SOOOO bad. Today it was somwhat a struggle to get through it all but I did and I am proud of myself. I wish I knew why I am so strong somedays and so tired and weak on others.

well..I do not know what's going on but I just cant get through a workout anymore these days! I am so weak and tired and I always end up doing the bare minimum AND stopping halfway through so I dont fall over. I am very depressed about it because I should be in better shape than this! I was 20 pounds ago... This happened to me the one other time I tried to get into better helth at this exact same weight and 2 weeks later I found out I was pregnant. I do not expect that to be the problem this time so what IS the problem?!

Aerobics today. full strength high imapct...I feel GREAT..no weakness or exhaustion. trying to figure out this pattern. I am aiming to do this 2 more times this week.

aerobics today lowish impact made it through whole thing. half abs workout. will do yoga ABS tonight.

yesterday I did 39 mihnutes of aerobics

Aerobics WHole tape including FULL Abs. felt great was no problem even with this headache!!!!!!!!

I DO need to get another step video though for variety..maybe will go looking for one later today.

getting back on track today--I WILL!
