OK Slackasses! Who's working out today?
After a way too long hiatus I hit the gym last night... Did 25 mins on the eliptical and 25 mins on the treadmill... Once I get myself used to working out again I'll throw some weight training in the mix... I'm actually really REALLY excited to be back at the gym. I missed it more then I thought!

Hey Norm,
I'm only a day late in responding to your post, but I got my sorry butt to the gym last night, as I only managed to get there 3x over the holiday's and I put in 1 hour of cardio and 1/2 hour of weight/core training. . . feeling good today as a result, not to mention I actually lost 3 lbs. over the holidays this year. . .
Have a great New Year, but then again, you are marrying Mary, so how could it be anything but great!
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Hi Norm and PA!
Ok so I'm a few days late reading and responding to this post but I'm here nevertheless ;)
I worked out a lot while I was in Florida (went to the gym, walked/ran outside, played tennis and waterskiied!)
Then as soon as I got back to Boston, I got sick and was sick all last week and didn't work out at all :(
Still not 100% yet...wanted to get back to exercise this week, but I'm taking it pretty easy.
So here is what I did on Monday:
one 10-minute walk outside
40 minutes treadmill
If there are other workout posts for the week, I'll post in the appropriate thread ;)
Lisa :)
P.S. Norm -- I used a gift certificate I had to get the "Perfect Push-Up"...oh my gosh, they are SO hard (for me, at least!) How you doing with them?
