3cat - good stuff!

I actually did all my exercises for a second day in a row! I did omit a couple of the upper ab crunches as they strain my neck. When my neck is better, then I will put them back in.

I love Thera-bands!

The next two days are my walking days. Since I have to walk to the store constanrly now Ive been getting some really good workouts espcially since its been WINDY!

Good job so far everyone!

I will not be using the bike today, instead I have been basically shoveling the equivalent of wet cement. We had rain, then snow, then ice, so each shovel full is very, very heavy. It probably took 45 minutes just top break up the stuff at the end of the driveway, and I am about to go out and finish the job - just the front stairs, and breaking through to the street from the sidewalk, and clearing the other side of my car are left. But it is exhausting! I'd rather shovel a foot of fluffy stuff than 2 inches of this stuff!

Shoveling snow is hard work when it's the really wet, heavy kind!

I've been doing well today, I've been tracking calories and I'm hoping to get some exercise in.

Still at work but just heading down to do my 30 min workout on the treadmill. Got my water, got my MP3 player, got my towel..... just trying to get the inspiration. See ya later.

Where is everyone????

Are we staying on track? I worked out on Monday night and will do so again when I get home tonight. I purchased a Sandisk Sansa Clip (2 GB) and have loaded it with music. It keeps me pumped when I'm on the treadmill.

My weight is exactly the same as it was a month ago so not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Yup, just was looking for this thread to post. Did 25 minutes on the stationary bike today, which I was amused to find out a few years ago is referred to as "spinning" by healthclubs. I had seen all these ads for "spinning" classes, and said to someone "Well, I have balance issues already, so if I spin around I tend to fall over." I got a very strange look, and then the person realized I didn't know that a "spinning class" was just a bunch of people doing stationary bikes together. Heck, even I, uncoordinated as I am, don't need a "class" to use a stationery bike!

I'm still working on it. I went to the doctor yesterday (we got new insurance and I wanted to get my prescription transferred), and I asked them not to tell me my weight. I always ask this, because I find it depressing, really depressing. The nurse said that was fine, but then before I left they gave me a print-out of my visit with my height and weight in BIG font. Or maybe it just looked big to me. I felt like throwing in the towel yesterday, but I didn't!! I really need to get healthier. I've been eating lots of oatmeal and drinking plenty of hot tea to try and control my appetite.

I'm still on track! Today was a full 2 weeks of p90x and a week and a half of extra cardio at the gym. Haven't seen any numbers on the scale, but I'm lifting weights (or doing some form of strength training) every day so I didn't expect to. It's still kind of discouraging. BUT, my tighter shirts do fit a little better already. What I need to start working on is drinking enough water. That's my goal for the rest of the week.
