I set my alarm for 6:20 on Monday with the hope of getting out of bed and getting a solid half hour of exercise in before work. I got up at 6:50 and got a solid 20 minutes in. And was extremely late for work. I decided to do a Cardio Dance workout from the On Demand section. It said no dance experience was required. It lied. I had to turn it off after 10 minutes because it was getting ridiulous. So after that I did 10 minutes of arm exercises from one of my magazines. Supposedly it's a routine from the woman who trains Madonna and Gwenyth Paltrow (hopefully my arms turn out more like Gwinnie's than Madge's)
Set my alarm early again on Tuesday. Up at 6:50 again and late for work again. Big surprise. This time I did one of Jillian's 30 day shred workouts from On Demand. KICKED MY ASS. I knew I was in trouble when she had fitness models doing the workout with her instead of Biggest Loser people. By the end even the models were sweating. I'll definitely do that one again. It's a 40 minute workout too which is good.
It took me 30 minutes to de-snow my car today so I'm trying to decide if that counts as day 3!

Week 1, Days 2 and 3, Cristin
I managed to get in a workout on Friday and Saturday. Nothing on Sunday unless you count the 10 minutes it took me to get the snow off my car. I’m pretty sure I burned at least 15 calories doing that.
I was treated to a vacation in the city this weekend and stayed at a hotel on Friday night. After finding out that there was an $18/day per person fitness charge (18 dollars!!) we instead went up and down 12 flights of stairs 3 times. It resulted in a tough 15 minute workout. Not as long as I had hoped but still something to make me feel that I earned my steak dinner.
On Saturday I went ice skating for the first time! And here’s the amazing thing: I didn’t fall! Not once. I was really impressed with myself. I thought for sure I would be holding onto the rail the entire time. I was also really excited that 45 minutes of ice skating took the place of the gym that day. I think I worked muscles in my legs that have never been worked before. It's going to be my new thing. I just know it.
The Holiday eating is going to be my downfall. I'm hoping I can at least maintain throughout the season. Just maintain. I think that will be a feat in itself. I had so much good food this weekend I don't even want to talk about it.
