This was a quick and dirty workout. JP had me on limited time schedule. This was slightly annoying since I dislike starting a workout and not finishing it. Somehow feel like I copped out. SIGH! Next time I'll be sure to ask how long she has. Better than not working out I suppose.

So last week, in total
10 workouts (or just exercise planned)
6:24:10seconds
Cals burned 3375. I should really start weighing in everyweek with measurements like Julie does.

Top of the list being VERY BAD!!

Tweeted about this last week, but it's so important. Print out a copy and put it on your fridge! If you're on a budget like me, buy only the top 5-10 in organic. Not eeeeeeeeverything needs to be organic, but replacing the worst will certainly help!

Another thing I think is useful is knowing what fruits and veggies are in season and when, to further help cut costs of organic f&v. Check out this link for oregon (pretty close to me)

WTG on the chin ups! I'm starting a new program tomorrow that includes them. Well, chin ups are in my B workout, so I'll do them Thursday but I'm super excited. Like you, I have to put them at the beginning LOL I have a 5x3 goal for that, but I know I won't be able to do it right away. Good job!

Great job with the chinups, Cath! Well, and all the rest of it too :) Sounds like a lot of hard work there!

Hey Cath!
Nice work on the chin-ups!
(Must be an echo in here...)
Seriously, m'dear, 2 bodyweight chin-ups is nothing to sneeze at! I know plenty of people that won't even try them without assistance.
Kudos to you!

Here's a 'game' for you, if you're up for it: Every time you pass the chin-up bar/station do just one, even if it's not on your workout for that day...do just one with perfect form...every time you pass it. After a couple of weeks go for a new personal record...betcha crush it! [ ¡Garantizo que trabajará! ]

Thanks for the list of fruit that's probably gonna kill me...my co-workers are going to be hating life soon since it looks like all I can eat are onions and asparagus! Ewwwwwwww!

Great blog! Love it! You're now on my blog list!!!

Stay strong,
Fred

As always I am humbled by the encouragement I get from my blog & twitter buddies. :) Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
