I am about to embark on my 31 day, October Workout Challenge. I am going to the gym EVERY day in the Month of October. As of now I am at 224, and my next mini-goal is 215 by October 17th (Family Reunion)! WOOT WOOT! Anyone interested in joining??

Ooh, I'll join! In my case I'll amend it to "work out every day" since I'm at work when my gym is open Friday-Sunday.

I'll be very careful not to over-work-out and hurt myself. This is a great way to hold myself accountable.

I'm in. I am keeping my exercise goals the same as last month, with a few modifications.

Do weight training 4 times a week.
Cardio in some shape 5 days a week
Work on increasing efficiency of workouts

I am currently at 157. I won't make a goal for my weight- but I want to see a noticible difference in my body by the end of the month.

Good to see I have some company for this....thanks.

Didn't get to the gym for very long yesterday, but made up for it by dancing for 2 hours straight. Hosted a school dance last night...it was a blast!

Workout
~20 minutes cardio (eliptical)
~2 hours dancing
~2 hours setting up and cleaning after the dance

Look forward to hearing from everybody....have a good weekend!
