Sun 9/21 - 6 mile walk up Provo Canyon - 16 min miles

Mon 9/22 - off

Tues 9/23 - 17:35 cardio warm up on treadmill, push ups, core and lower body strength training

Wed 9/24 - 10.2 mile (very painful!) ride. Legs were totally sore from Tues, this ride HURT, but I did it faster than I've ever done that trail.

Thur 9/25 - 30 min. yoga, push ups, core and upper body strength training

Fri 9/26 - 6 mile walk up Provo Canyon

Sat. 9/27 - off - We were going to do a family ride, but I've got two sickos on my hands! My hubby and daughter have colds so I'm playing nurse. So, I didn't get two rides in this week, which is my goal, but I'll live. It was a good week overall.

I LOVE reading this thread, as everyone here is so darn motivated and energetic. Great accomplishments all. Thanks for motivating me. I dropped out of the weekly weigh-ins because my scale was erratic, but I'm anxious to start the next one. In the meantime, I thank you for this motivation!

Monday, Spinnervals on trainer: 60 minutes "aerobic work"; pushups and situps.

Not too bad but the lack of running slows my weight loss. That kick of running really helps but my new HR monitor should be in today and I will be out to try it!

Wednesday: 16 mile road ride, rolling route
Thursday: Commuted home 20 miles
Friday: rest

Alright, I've been dreading sending in this post. For some reason I really lost steam last week. Of course, it didn't help that we had a family birthday and I was preparing for / dealing with company in from out of town. I think it became all too easy to use those as an excuse for not working out. Can anyone relate? On the up side....my house got a super cleaning that it really needed!

total body strength training

49 pushups

Thurs 10/2 - 18 min cardio warm up on treadmill (10-12% incline)

I only really worked out three days! Well, maybe the mental break will keep me psyched up for the rest of the month of October. I also have a question for you all...Do you have a different "winter weight" goal than you would have for "summer weight"? The weather got cold here for the first time this season and I was reminded how much my appetite goes up. I was wondering if I should give myself a couple of pounds of leeway for the winter months?
