Workout
Breaking the rules
Okay, breaking my NoWoW ("no workouts on weekends") rule just this once, to put the exlamation mark at the end of the month-long "sentence" that has been this Challenge. In the end, it didn't feel like a punishment at all and I look forward to building on what I achieved in the months to come, at a slightly reduced pace.
Workout
Did you know you were an overachiever?
Congrats to everyone who got past the 20 workout mark during this Challenge! It feels great...
--
Today's workout: vigorous elliptical workout; no time for anything else.
Workout
Woohoo! for weight loss
Really wasn't intending to loose a lot of weight in this challenge. Just wanted to be more fit, healthier and happier--achieved all of that, plus lost quite a bit of excess fat! Wasn't exactly overweight but it's nice to be super-slim (without going overboard, of course). Everyone is noticing; keep getting compliments. THANK YOU, CHALLENGE!

Workout
Back in shape (or getting there)
Feel better, nice to be back in gym--energizing, actually.
--
Today's workout: Just did one hour on elliptical. Didn't want to overdue with slightly diminished forces.
A little time to recuperate
10/27 (delayed post): Didn't make it to the gym today because I felt like I might be coming down with a cold and wanted to avoid sharing my germs. It was a good opportunity to let my muscles rest a bit. :)
Workout
Back in the saddle
Felt a little under the weather over the weekend but a trip to the gym cures all... or so I hope.
---
Today's workout: 60 min on elliptical, weights.
Eating your way to the finish line
In the spirit of the EAT portion of the EAT, SWEAT, BLOG challenge, I have been modifying my diet and following the suggestions posted by Whole Foods. Also happen to shop there a lot, so very convenient.
Nice leafy greens, vegetables with deep colors, protein through tofu...
"Eat right and exercise"--who knew these oft repeated words of advice were so sound?
Workout
TGIF takes on a whole new meaning
I.e. time to recover from a workout-packed week.
---
Today's workout: 60 min on elliptical, upper body on machines.
Workout
That's a weight off my mind
Just read an article stating men should try shorter sets with more reps, rather than the other way around, in order to build muscle. Giving it a whirl.
---
Today's workout: dumbells and other weight-training exercises, plus 60 min elliptical.
Workout
Insert Exciting Title Here
Running out of "exciting titles" but excitement of being in better shape doesn't fade.
Question to any readers: why won't eliptical machines allow more than 60 minutes? Not that I really want to go beyond that but curious if I missing a setting or something.
---
Today's workout: cardio, cardio, and more cardio. Worked up a real sweat.

Busy days = maintenance workouts
In between a slew of appointments, made time to continue completing the Challenge!

Today's workout: cardio-only, plus warm-up/cool-down.
Workout
Nothing like a rainy day...
My doorman says there is "no excuse" not to go to the gym in grim weather and I took his advice to heart.
--
Today's workout: the usual 60 minutes on the elliptical (tried to increase but machine wouldn't allow; took that as a sign), and a lengthy weight session. Went at a different than usual time of day. Lots of "hard-core" gym-goers at this hour, which is added motivation.

Don't worry: I think there are lots of us out there in similar situations. I too struggled to post regularly and find fun ways to describe my workouts. Doing your best to meet the goals of the challenge is what matters!
Posted in response to: I Still Workout, I Just Don't Blog About It
Belated thanks, Charity. Tried to find a way to be notified of comments... but there doesn't seem to be one. (Not a very good blogger, as you can tell--working on that!)
Posted in response to: Great Challenge, cool sponsors
Hahaha! It definitely felt a little strange to post something so corny but it's great to see traditional wisdom (with a dash of modern method) is working for others as well. Thanks for the comment!
