Anywho, many apologies for not having the updated numbers yesterday as promised.

i think you had a very good excuse for not doing the update, missy bio.
i hope the foot isn't hurting so much now.

i got nothing to report as far as minutes go. jack was off today so we messed around all day and took our son out for dinner tonight. i'll make up the rest of my minutes tomorrow, for sure.

I missed this board!!! Sorry for being MIA. My laptop was a very bad computer at the start of the month and burned through its second hard drive since I got it. I just got it back in the mail this week from repairs, and it's so wonderful having internet access again.

Okey doke, time to pull out the notebook I logged my exercise in. I started my first week with 10 minutes a day each day. Second week I worked up to 15 minutes by adding in more reps, but only on five of the days (went out of town 8/11-12 for my brother's birthday). Third week I did 20 minutes for 6 days. This past week I slacked on the 24th and 25th (just started a new lab job and it tweaked my sleep schedule), but 8/22, 8/23, and 8/26-28 I did 20, 15, 20, 20, and 20 minutes respectively.

Each day I do pushups (25 modified at first, now 40 at the hips), squats, jacknifes, back extensions, triceps (3-lb weights to start, now 5-lb), another arm/chest exercise (i think they're called flys), leg extensions, and hamstrings. I also cycle through about 6 ab exercises (I pick 2-3 different ones each day), but since I'm using them for another challenge, they're not included in the times.

So far, I've dropped a pants size, which is also a little bit loose now. I definitely did a happy dance at the fitting room!

Ack, rambling too much. So my total as of this Thursday is 360/400. As long as I keep to it through the weekend, I think I'll make it (and hopefully go over!).

Let me know if I should post a day-by-day as well (just didn't want to take up all that space if I didn't have to).

I'm so happy to be able to get back on the boards!
