1. Sunday- 4.5 mile run/walk on the beach 1 hour of various exercises from the PT, Monday Yoga, Tuesday rest. Wed Yoga, Thursday Rest Friday 75 minutes of pre work surfing.

2.Saturday hope to get a good 2 hour surf session in and some weight work/ pt exercises in at home. Sunday planning to surf but if surf is too big then i will most likely go running. Monday will surf and do yoga.

3. just started doing yoga again hope to get my practice back including arm balances and headstands and handstands.

4. take my surfing to the next level-increase my run/walk distance to 8 miles. get my waistline under 26 inches-not certain if it is possible at my age.

5. had a really strong yoga practice on monday night with a very challenging class-almost made it to headstand unspotted

6. have not been surfing up to par these last few weeks not sure why so want to refine my technique and kick the bad habits

1. How much have you exercised this week? Ugh, I was really bad this week and only worked out once (I blame the Superbowl, work and the weather)

2. What are your exercise plans for the weekend? CrossFit workout on Saturday, CrossFit workout on Sunday plus rowing

3. Short term fitness goals - Get outside and run again

4. Long term fitness goals - to be stronger and more fit by May when I leave for training so I can carry my own weight in pre-deployment training.

5. Fitness Achievements of the week? Blah - none this week.

6. Miscellaneous?- Anything else you would like to add. - Just need to get my diet stabilized. No sense working out hard if I'm not going to be able to see results because of my diet (that's been my problem FOREVER). Starting the clean eating plan...

Alix - you are my yoga hero. I really want to get in to yoga but there aren't any classes available where I'm at (except at 10 am during the week - which doesn't work because of my work schedule). I am the least flexible person in the world.... and I know there are so many benefits from yoga. I just ordered the Mandy Ingber Yogalosophy DVD (I feel kind of silly about it). I hope it is not only worth the money but that I (A.) actually use it and (B.) see results in my flexibility, etc.

you are my fitness hero i hear that the cross fit workouts are really challenging!! as far as yoga goes it is such a great thing to practice-i practiced hard core for about 15 plus years-at the end i was working with private teachers etc....then back injuries re-surfaced, my teachers all left la, etc....and this year i finally said okay don't need to practice the way i used to but at least need to make an effort to get into class 2 or 3 times a week-so there you have it, there are some great teachers and dvds out there-Shiva Rea has a bunch of dvds out she is fantastic-rodney yee also has great videos out he too is an amazing yogi and teacher.

Ooooh thank you for the recommendations. I will definitely look into them.

1. How much have you exercised this week? Not at all. Been sick with head cold, double ear infection and throat infection. Today I feel better.

2. What are your exercise plans for the weekend? Walk/jog 1.5 miles Sat, again on Sun if I feel ok.

3. Short term fitness goals? Get back into the routine of working out 4 - 5 days per week, including at least one spin class (my favorite). Make fitness part of my day. No excuses!

4. Long term fitness goals? Haven't set any besides just wanting to lose some weight, firm up and feel better about myself.

5. Fitness Achievements of the week? None Sad physically, but I have been cooking 'lighter' for the family.

6. Miscellaneous?- Anything else you would like to add.

1. How much have you exercised this week? Um....none. In Rome I walked a ton, but that was it. Today is my first day back and I'm doing a 3 mile walk and a pilates class tonight.

2. What are your exercise plans for the weekend? Tomorrow I'm doing a strength training class and a yoga class, Sunday will be a Partner Yoga class with MH for Valentine's Day, and both days will have training walks. Probably 3 miles each day. My training walk schedule is totally out of whack after being gone.

3. Short term fitness goals Lose more body fat, walk another 39.3 mile Avon Walk, start eating as clean as possible.

4. Long term fitness goals Become a BodyPump instructor.

5. Fitness Achievements of the week? Getting back on the wagon after my trip!

6. Miscellaneous?- Anything else you would like to add. It feels so great to be back to a normal routine. It's amazing how one day of getting back to your norm helps you feel.

1. How much have you exercised this week? Twice, but my last schedualed day is tomorrow (3x/ week for right now until I get back into the swing of things)

2. What are your exercise plans for the weekend? Tomorrow I'm just doing 30 min cardio and 30 min strength

3. Short term fitness goals - Lose 10% body weight by 4/22/10 for our trip back to Maui

4. Long term fitness goals - Reach and maintain my goal weight range of 135-145 lbs (I'm 5'9")

5. Fitness Achievements of the week? Actually working out I'm back on the wagon so I'm going 3 weeks strong of a steady workout routine. It's nice to back into it.

6. Miscellaneous?- Anything else you would like to add. After 3 weeks of being active again, it's been nice to see and feel the energy and change of attitude I have already. That to me is motivation enough to stick with this

BooHOO!!!! I can't even go on a walk until my ankles healed. And I've been using that as a convenient excuse to do no exercise at all and eat ice cream

1. How much have you exercised this week?

Other than carrying a 9 lbs baby and lifting her in/out of her crib? Nada.

2. What are your exercise plans for the weekend?

At least one 20 minute walk...preferably outdoors if it's warm enough otherwise, the treadmill will have to do...wonder if my sports bra still fits now that my ta-tas are filled with milk?!

3. Short term fitness goals

Walk 20-30 minutes at least 3 days/week. Stretch everyday.

4. Long term fitness goals

Walk 60 minutes/day at least 5 days a week, strength training at least 2x week and stretching everyday.

5. Fitness Achievements of the week?

Since delivering Libby I am WAY more flexible than I've been in literally 2 decades! I chalk it up to the relaxin coursing through my veins. So, I've been REALLY stretching deeply each day. I have so much more range of motion in my left knee that had an ACL repair back in 1991 and has never quite been as flexible as it could be. Very exciting. I hope to be able to retain this flexbility as my post partum body and hormones return to "normal."
