This is Day 14 of the 21-Day Fitness Challenge held in Feb 2012. The challenge is now over but you can do the tasks in your own time. Visit the overview page for all the challenge tasks.
Hello and welcome to Day 14 (Feb 16) of the 21-Day Fitness Challenge! :D We’re now at the end of Week 2!
Day 14 – How Would You Rate Your Progress So Far? (And How Can You Make Week 3 Your Best Week Ever?)
Now that it’s Week 2, we are now two-thirds across 21DFC. With that, today’s question is: How would you rate your progress so far in 21DFC? And how can you make Week 3 your best week ever?
By progress, I’m referring to your progress in terms of how you’re faring against the objectives you set for Day 0’s prework. What got you to join 21DFC to begin with.
One of my main reasons in joining 21DFC is to lose weight, lose fat, and build muscle. I just did a weigh in today, and seems that my weight is roughly the same as when when I started the challenge. Am I frantic about it though? no, not at all.
Because I know I have definitely lost fat in the past 2 weeks. I know I have definitely built muscles too – my legs are the most toned I’ve ever seen them in my life, thanks to all the running, cycling, and leg curler reps I’ve been doing! My legs are now also slimmer too, as a result. I know that as I continue with my daily fitness sessions, I’ll see even more positive results.
Another goal I had was to cultivate fitness as a life-long habit. I think I have done exceptionally well in this regard. In the past two weeks, I have successfully identified ways to integrate fitness into my life, vs making time out for fitness – of which the latter I had been trying to do for many years prior, with lackluster results. It’s only been two weeks, but exercising has become a staple in my morning routine.
For me, what worked was bundling fitness with my other daily routines – in this case, checking email, writing articles, updating the site, connecting with friends, and miscellaneous web activities. Now that it has become integrated, I actually feel strange if I’m not exercising in the morning! I’m also very happy to report that I’ve successfully completed my fitness sessions almost every day since the start of the challenge, on some days even doing dual sessions.
In consideration of the above, I’ll rate my progress as a 9/10. 9, because I know I can do even more; I know I can push myself even further (we all can).
My plan now moving forward is to continue with my daily fitness sessions, while progressing to work out my other body parts. My legs exercises are going very well – they are now quite toned, as I mentioned above. I’d like to tone up my shoulders, hips and tummy areas too – the great thing is I can work on them with the variety of machines in my gym.
How about you? How would you rate your 21DFC progress so far? And what can you do to make Week 3 your best week ever?

My pre work stated:
1. to exercise each day
2. if I do not exercise on any day, don’t beat myself up
3. do not compare myself to anyone else or to my younger self
4. to loose some weight
5.to experience myself as successful through this challenge
I have fulfilled on all of these. i have lost 3 pounds. i have not lost as much weight as I had hoped but have also been irresponsible about eating late at night(ice cream mostly) so …yeah.
i am surprised how when it is time to go work out, i just go. kind of awesome. when it was time to leave for a gym class in the past, i would start a whole inner dialogue about whether I was going, think “its getting late I hate to rush into class” now i leave time to walk there (it is only 7 min) and it is much smoother. i feel the habit part is seeping into me.
Today I took spin class for 45 minutes.
My progress hasn’t been as good as I would have hoped, and I have fallen a bit short on my objectives. I knocked out week 1 with flying colors, but I slid off the wagon a bit in week 2 due to travel, a busier schedule, a tad bit of laziness and my injured foot.
I’d like to get my focus back in week 3 and really finish strong… although it’s not really an ending, but a never-ending journey of fitness.
^^”’ My progress is so far so good :p I’ve been sticking to my plan and my love for exercises is growing :lol:
I guess my rate is 8/10 because I know that I could do better ^^”’ So hopefully, in the last week, I can push myself more, there are a few obstacles, though. I’m in a break and stay with friends the next week. :shy: It’s possible that I would neglect exercising, however, I won’t let it happen :lol: I’m thinking of asking my friends to work out with me so that we won’t become lazy bums :lol:
In terms of day 14, I did aerobics for 30 mins apart from my usual exercises :)
Today I tried something different. I used kettlebells. Here was my routine.
Kettle bell Workouts
1A) KB Snatch – 10 reps per side
1B) KB Swing – 20 reps
1C) KB 1-Arm Press – 10 reps per side
1D) KB Goblet Squat – 20 reps
Rest 1 minute. Repeat 2-3 more times.
Stability Ball Plank -30 seconds
Stability Ball Jackknife – 20 reps
Stability Ball Rollout – 12 reps (3 second eccentric) Side Plank – 40 seconds per side
Repeat up to 2 more times.
Because of my workout Regimen last week, I was able to workout with 25lbs. of wieght. I am growing stronger. I will try 35lbs. next week. I will be walking today since I am in New York.
On this day, I did an intense music filled aerobic workout for 30 minutes.
I would rate my progress with a 7, I see muscles slighlty building and I am definetely more flexible then on day 1. I hope to be able to do a split by the end of the challenge.
I am also stronger because I can do more reps of exercises now compaired to day 1.
I can make week 3 better by fitting my exercises in the morning. That would be ideal, but for that I would have to rearrange my sleeping rotine and everything, so that is challenging for me. But I will definetely get by the end of week 3. :)
Oh, I was forgetting! I definetely enjoy my workouts now, and love doing them. <3
Hmm. I guess I would rate my progress so far at 7. I know I haven’t been doing all the things I said I would do every day since, but have been doing them as much as I can..I know I haven’t been truly pushing myself hard enough :(
So for the last week of 21DFC, I am going to push myself. I think that’s how I’ll make it better :)
Anyway, today, I was unexpectedly busy again, but unlike yesterday, I did at least five minutes of pushups, stretches, sit-ups, etc. :shy: For Day 15, I’ll be doing Chi Gong/Tai Chi. See you then everyone! :hug:
DAY 14
RATE MY PROGRESS SO FAR
I’m a solid 9.
I have kept my commitment to myself to be physically active whenever I can, and to do my workouts with the ocean swims and water exercises and the bands and other exercises.
Ocean swims 3x per week….check
Other exercises the other days…check
Staying on my food Plan….check
Showing up here on the forum every day….oh yea-ah!…check…really proud of this one…i have started other challenges ( and am still in the midst of them)…just got behind and could not catch up (even tho I know it’s all good to have my own pace)..and I got discouraged because I was so far behind (perhaps I was comparing myself to others…not a good idea!)
Anyway, this showing up daily was big for me, and
I AM DOING IT! Soo happy about that! Any feedback or responses I receive is just magical to me!
HOW TO MAKE WEEK 3 THE BEST WEEK EVER!
Continue to keep my commitment for this challenge.
There is always room for improvement, or I would rate my progress as a 10.
I could be do more exercises when I am doing the exercises I do on land.
I could get more sleep (I chose to stay on the laptop and write for this forum) When I write that, it sounds daft, because I need my sleep, but I was motivated to do it. :rolleyes: :D :heart:
Write the posts for this challenge earlier, so I’m not up so late. It’s a miracle that I have this post done by 11:00 p.m., which is what it is now.
ACTIVITY FOR DAY 14
The ocean was clear as a bell today…the weather is changing, spring is coming, and the ocean calms down quite a bit sometime in February, so snorkling will happen more often, so that’s awesome!
It’s like there is a program installed in the memory of me, telling me to get my exercise done. It’s really installed deep! I get antsy to get in that water and really go for it. Because of the knees, I move my body best when in the water.
I exercised/kept moving for one hour.
I had to come back because while I was searching for a different workout for in the morning, I found a video that is really great for the waist, lower back and stomach. I done this video just now. It’s 10 minutes long but it really gets you to breathing. Wanted to come back and share the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_J8btnIEKQ&feature=related
Have a great evening everyone!! :dance:
I would now rate my progress at an 8. I am keeping up with routine exercises that I’ve found I enjoy and I am confident after this challenge is finished I will continue along with these. I can see results in my abdominal muscles as well as how much energy I have. Today has been a rainy, dreary kind of day but I did do some yoga for about 20 minutes and I will probably end today with a different yoga workout.
I was looking forward to walking and though the weather was warm, the rain wouldn’t allow it. So I am hoping to get some walking in tomorrow. :clap:
Exercise progress: 7/10
Overall health progress: 6/10
My original objectives:
– to incorporate exercise into my daily activities so that it becomes part of my routine (check)
– to become fit for my holiday on 24 Feb (check)
– to support my exercise and desired weightloss by keeping to a healthy eating plan (wobble)
I’ve been overeating for the last few days and although it hasn’t yet impacted on the scales, I feel it clouding my progress. I need to re-assert the healthy eating pattern and get back into a good routine. It’s not been helped by working late (e.g. left work at 8:30pm after arriving at 9:30am) but I’ve still managed to keep up the exercise – did nearly 6km walking today. I’ve also stopped doing the floor exercises at night.
On a positive note: apparently my gym is re-opening on 25/Feb (right after the challenge ends!) so my plan is to be able to use the equipment there without feeling too puffed! :)
To deliver best results for the final week I plan to:
– reintroduce my floor exercises and 9:45pm stop-doing-stuff regime at night (tomorrow!)
– carry on walking as much as possible
– get back on the healthy eating bandwagon: no snacks at work nor home
– reflect hard at the weekend (probably using NLP techniques) to remind myself why I’m doing this and what I’m after
Go go everybody!!! :dance:
zingfairy, it sounds like you’re doing great. Don’t be too hard on yourself for wobbling on your eating plan. What a great opportunity for you to explore WHY you’re doing that! Now that you’re keeping up with your exercise and have a plan for improving results, it could be time to really challenge yourself with the question of what else is going on with your extra-eating.
One suggestion? Instead of thinking “no snacks at work nor home”, think about what you can snack on that will add to your overall health. Experts say it’s OK (in fact, it’s *best*) to eat up to 6 small meals a day, the idea being it’s not good to let ourselves get hungry because then we risk eating unhealthy things. Instead, have on hand a few little (fist-full sized) bags of healthy snacks, like some nut/fruit mix or some prepared carrot & celery sticks, or some tiny chunks of chopped up *dark* chocolate mixed with some nuts, etc. One of my favorite grab-n-eat snacks is half of an avocado. It satisfies the body’s craving for fat, yet it’s all *good* fat, and the texture is so creamy it’s like having a real treat. I’m sure you can come up with your own ideas to fill 5 or 6 little ziplocks of snack foods and always carry them with you so they’re handy when you get the urge to splurge.
I would rate my progress at 7/10. This is because I am happy I have exercised everyday and have kept my commitment to doing something everyday for at least 20 minutes. In my running exercises, I have been focusing on working on my form, not as much on the actual length or speed I am going at. My goal for this challenge was to work myself into the mindset of doing daily exercise and to test whether my knees are better after my injury/growth problems from before. For the last 14 days I have been mixing walking, running intervals, and body weight exercises into my fitness plan. Now, the reason why it is not very high is because I am not taking my fitness very seriously. I know that I could be doing longer sessions and harder exercises, but I have been working with my brother in order to try and help him get into the habit of regular exercise, and therefore I have not been able to work as hard or as much as I could. Then again, maybe that is the best way to come back after not doing exercise for so long.
My workout for the day was running intervals. Run for 2 minutes, walk for 1.5 minutes and repeat until you go over the 20 minute quota. Stretching then followed.
Good job everyone! Only 1 more week to go!
I’m giving myself a 9 today. AND a round of applause :clap: I’ve been meeting my pre-work goal, “to do something active every day.” I’ve been acting daily on each of my game-plan list items. I’ve tackled the 4 “biggest obstacles to success” by consciously incorporating the strategies I listed. http://kate-is-pre.posterous.com/my-21-day-exercise-challenge
I’m not getting a 10 out of 10 because of the goal I’ve defined more recently (it wasn’t listed in that pre-work but should have been!) — my goal of making daily activity a :!: HABIT :!: . I’m not there yet. I’ll know I’ve got the habit when I get that feeling Celes described: “I actually feel strange if I’m not exercising.”
I’ve made a new goal to help this habit-formation: I’ve moved my target forward from Feb 23 (the end of this challenge) to April 28th.
:dance: **I’m going to do something active every day until April 28th**. :dance:
(That’s the day we leave for a 2-week vacation in Kauai.)
Yes, having the habit will mean I’ll do something every day FOREVER. Even in Kauai ;) .
But first — one day at a time, one goal at a time.
………
Plan for today — it’s aquafit day again. Yay!
I start with a 15-minute sauna, then 15 minutes in the jacuzzi with a strong water-jet directly on my sciatic hip to loosen it up, then 45 minutes in the aquafit class. It’s like having a spa day!
Aquafit sounds so good! :o I would love to do something like that but I’ve never heard of it in my country. Maybe it’s because I never frequent Spa-like places with swimming pools&Co. Plus I don’t know how to swim (though I imagine water level is low for aquafit. Am I wrong?).
Hey Kate – it sounds like you’re having fun with your aqua-fit sessions, which is great! :D Like Lina, I’ve never heard of aqua-fit too. What exactly do you do during aqua-fit?
It sounds like you are doing excellent. Aquafit sounds exciting and fun. I would love to check into something like that in my area. Congrads :!: :clap:
Wow, thanks for your interest in aquafit, Lina, Celes, and Netta!
I do aquafit classes at the local community center, which is a full-service center with classes of all sorts (I go to yoga there too) plus a pool, gym, squash courts, seniors’ activity center, and more.
To imagine what aquafit is like, imagine a regular aerobics + strength training combo class. Now imagine everybody in the class wearing bathing suits and being immersed in swimming-pool water. :cool:
The instructor is at the side of the pool leading us, just like in any fitness class. Activities vary with instructor, as in any fitness center. With feet on the bottom, we’re up to our necks in the water, so everything we do is affected by water resistance. Plus you don’t get hot or sweaty because the water keeps you nice and cool! (Instructor says we DO sweat, we just don’t feel it under water.) This is just as hard a workout as a gym aerobics class, but it FEELS like way less work because it’s so much less jarring on the bones and muscles.
There’s also a deep-end class going on next to the one I go to, and that works out a different set of muscles and uses different actions/motions. I prefer the standing-in-water class.
Ahh, thanks for the explanation, Kate! Come think of it, I just saw “aqua-aerobics” as one of the classes offered at my gym today. I think it might be the same thing, just under a different name.
It’s already 2 weeks~! After 2 weeks, my weight is still the just losing 1kg… However, my waist has become lean for about 1 inch. I hope that I can make it better in the last week! :) If I would to rate myself, I would rate as 8/10 this time. This week, I did better workout compared to last week, although it seems not shown up from my weight.
Today, initially I planned to go for gym in my college after class, but my forgetful brain asked me to leave my sport shoes at home!!! >.<
In the end, I decided to take a walk in a recreation park. When I reached there, then only I recalled, there were a few simple exercise equipments as below (I took these photos 7 years ago).
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v316/ben3981/life/IMG_1905a.jpg

There is an archery field and a skateboard area in that park. While I was exercising using those machines, I also enjoyed seeing people practicing archery and skateboard. :)
I exercised for 45 minutes, then I went for the "stepping stone" road in the park for 15 minutes. I'm not sure what it is called… It is a road that fulled of small and sharp stones, which are for leg massage purpose. That was really painful when I first stepped on the stones, but I enjoyed the pains. XD
The feeling was nice to enjoy the natural environment while exercising, but I felt unsecured when I took the shower in the public bathroom. :S
Congratulations on making your fitness session happen even though you left your sports shoes at home, Jaleen! :D I know what you’re referring to about the pebble path – I’ve seen it around here in Singapore. I heard it has a positive effect on the body (improving blood circulation, acupuncture-related philosophy, I gather?).
Public bathroom! O_O It was a communal showering space?
Oh~ Yeah, now I know it is called as pebble path. Thanks, Celes! :) Yup, according to what is mentioned on the sign board, it has a lot of positive effects on the body. But I heard from my mum that, it is not good for women in period. I haven’t search through the why it is not good for women in period. I guess, probably because of the blood circulation, it will increase the period time…? =.=?
There were 2 individual bathrooms inside the washroom for there public, not the type of bathroom that many people can go in at once like we can see in Japan (This type of bathroom can never be seen in Malaysia). The bathrooms have only walls but not fully covered with the walls, the walls are only around 80% of the height of the washroom’s roof, so there left blank space without the wall surrounding the bathroom. People can climb up the walls and look into the bathroom actually. =.=”
At the beginning of the challenged, my goals were to reduce weight and make exercising a part of my daily routine. At the end of second week, I have lost around 1 kg and feel myself quite regular with daily exercise plan. I would rate my self 9/10. In coming months will bring some variations in my daily exercise plan.
Today, exercised for 45 mins..
Hopefully will continue the same routine in coming days.
9/10 is awesome!! well done on losing the 1kg too!
How would you rate your 21DFC progress so far?
7 of of ten.
And what can you do to make Week 3 your best week ever?
To make week 3 my best week (of exercise) ever, I think would have to:
1. Learn to do burpee
2. Do burpee more
3. Exercise 2-4 times a day
4. Try to exercise more at the park in the morning (where a lot of people exercise too, which motivates me)
5. Do more planks
6. Ask a cousin/s whether she/ he/they can play badminton with me
7. Do more chair dips
_____
Today I exercised for more than 10 minutes. I did chair dips, the planks, trunk twist and waist curls.
Badminton’s a great sport….when i see my kids play that with their cousins i often envy them……i so want to learn the shuttle-racket game, its top on my priority list, and would definitely try to get my son/daughter to teach me that….kweeep upppp with the goood work!!!
Thank you, ASLO! :heart:
Dear All,
I am writing this out to you to tell you all thank you all for how amazing reading your posts has been. :clap:
This has been an awesome and moving experience and a ka-ching $-) rings out every time i see a reply on any of my posts, its like i’ve succeeded in passing on my message…..
So how have you all been lately? i am doing great, this whole :idea: idea :idea: has an incredible phenomena and its really inspiring…its worked out a magic, that i think if i had set out to do this alone, it would have taken eons to achieve….
Many I times while exercising i tire out, then i think, at that very moment, the probability of another 21DFC participant working out too and that pushes me to carry on…so that’s how cosmic this webspace attachment means to me….thank you Celes….
Today is my 19th wedding anniversary :clap:, yet fitness first, i had my routine 35 minute walk….am preparing an exotic (calorie full :rolleyes: ) meal for my family and running around the kitchen fixing it up for me is considered to be part of the exercise too…then while shopping out, i walked a long, long way….my joints are creaking a wee lil’ bit, so my mind tells me to skip cycling….but i know my loving kids and my driving conscience wouldn’t allow me to do so….
BTW, its raining outside after a long, dry spell….oh the smell of wet garden soil……
Love, happiness and fitness. to y’all
ASLO
Hi Aslo, you are very kind :) It’s nice how much 21DFC benefited you :heart: Happy 19th anniversary! I had to give a short reply to you since I have to get ready to go :D -Much love
Not a problem, you checking out the post itself matters most…even the inward appreciation is accounted for in my ledger of post likes and dislike, and in some wicked yet beautiful way that works and gives me the drive to write more……Loadsa love to you too…and thanks for the wishes…. :hug:
Oops missed out the important bit,
I’d rate myself a 9/10, because when i started out ascending the most picturesque mountain in the world, i never imagined i’d climb past base camp I, but with every day i see myself reaching the peak with ease….the 1/10 i miss, is probably the bit of doing more of yoga and also taking care of my diet….
Week 3? Darn, i need to go through some soul-searching to come up with an :idea: to end this beginning on a high…….would get back with that…. :heart:
I’d give an 8 out of 10 because I know I could go further than my current level of fitness, plus there are many other types of exercises that I could include in my routine. Until now I’ve been doing mostly aerobic/cardio workouts combined with some basic Pilates moves, but I’d like to try jogging for a change (when the snow finally melts and the weather warms up a bit) and some more strength exercises for legs.
Today I’ve done my 30 minutes workout (I’m still getting a great workout from that video, I’ll keep doing that until I feel I have no problems with going through all the exercises in it, then I’ll look for something even more challenging) and now I’m preparing to meditate (writing this comment while waiting for my heart rate to drop in order to meditate calmly :) ).
Have a nice day, PErs! :D
sounds like you’re doing fabulously Lina – bring on the melting snow too! :) well done on your workout today! :)
Thank you :D
20 minutes of knee strengthening exercises, 10 minutes of stability ball work, 15 minutes of stretching (before and after) and 10 minutes of meditation.
I have notice a stronger core and more sculpted arms and shoulders. My posture is better and my lower back pain is starting to decrease. I’ve also noticed that it is easy to fall off a stability ball so I’m lucky not to have hurt myself too bad during the past 14 days. :dance:
I am quite happy about the progress so far.
Today I walked to yoga practice (4km’s) and back again. Plus 1 hour yoga.
Because I am hardly loosing weight I’ll have to examine my eating habits. Although I understand muscle tissue weighs more than fat tissue.
And I still have several months to go before “bikini” season. :shy:
Urgh. 21DFC is not going well for me in week 3. I’m having stomach crams due to the (meagre amount) of sit ups I did during PE on Tuesday.
I can’t bring myself to walk AT ALL. :( But, I did do some walking (holding my stomach!!!) when I walked home, to the shop for lunch, across the overhead bridge, etc.
Amanda, the body has its reasons, and i think it’s wise to listen to the body when it just wants to rest. Sometimes we can work through a barrier, sometimes we just need to wait it out and let it pass, and live our life in a way that it doesn’t take much too much out of us or too much recovery time.
Do you think the stomach cramps are from only the sit-ups?
Hope you feel better soon and can get back to your activities!
:hug:
My progress has stepped up a notch because I am on holidays & have so much more time for excersise because it’s fun to do when your away from the normal life, so today I walked approximately for 2 hours then came back to the hotel & did a weight workout with my husband at the hotel gym, then went swimming for 20 minutes then climbed the 9 flights of stairs to our room!!!!!
I haven’t weighed myself since the start & there are no scales I can find here, but I do feel my pants getting looser on me!!! So that’s just great. :shy:
I think I’ve done pretty well. I’ve only really missed a couple of days whilst away on the weekend, although I was walking for a lot of the time there. As a score I would probably give myself 7/10. I could be doing more, such as push ups etc. And I haven’t been exercising as early in the morning as I woud like to. Sometimes clser to lunch time for the rebounder.
When I go for a walk, I’m much better climbing over the steep hill at Queenscliff. No more running out of breath, as has been the case in the past.
Today I went for another long walk. Probably 90 minutes again today. I didn’t end up going barefoot, although I seriously think I’ll need to get some toe socks for the Vibrams. There seems to be some friction from my skin rubbing against the microfibre inside.
Tomorrow, back to the rebounder :)
Finished my gym session today! :D I’m extremely proud of myself for today because originally I was considering missing my session – only because my computer is damaged and I need to get it fixed. But I really didn’t want to miss my exercise though, so I reworked my schedule to fit it in. 1 hour today – 30 minutes of recumbent biking, 20 min stationary bike, 10-15 min using a new leg press machine (?). Of course, with the usual 30 min walking to the gym / 15 min walking to nearby mall post workout.
Now I have to get to my computer issue. Even if I do get it working, I think I’ll probably buy a new laptop, because my current old laptop has been hindering my productivity for a while. I’ll probably give away my old laptop so it doesn’t go to waste.
You’ve done well Celes! Especially with all the gym workouts and runs. Although I guess early in the moring isn’t so bad with no midday sun to melt you. And I’m still the same weight too.
If you get a new laptop, you might want to check the Asus ZenBook. From what i’ve read, that performs a bit better than the MacBook Air.
Really? Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve heard about the brand but never used it before. I’ll check it out. Thanks for the tip!
For my exercises, I don’t do them *early* in the morning anymore since I’m working out in the gym which is cool all the time. And I find that fitting my sessions at 11am or so works best since I can head off for lunch after that. But weekends I plan to so the usual morning runs since my gym pass doesn’t give me access for weekends.
That’s great Celes,
Well I hope I am not trying to force advice onto you but I too think that the Asus Zenbook is a great laptop, yes the Macbook is the desirable utimatimo, but performance wise the Asus is great…..i’d advice you not to get Dell, Acer or HP, unless its the HP Envy or any high end Dell….though this might be a `nouvelle` idea, you can try out a tablet pc from HP or LENOVO….it works the same way as a laptop only difference is that it runs on fully tough….that might be fun….again, i’m sorry if i seem to thumping advice on you…
You’re not thumping advice – you’re sharing your thoughts and recommendations ASLO, and I really appreciate that! :D I ended up getting a Toshiba Satellite – I did check out the Asus Zenbook series and the sales person told me it’s more for business usage (lesser on graphic / video processing power, more on battery life and portability). Their K series is more relevant for my needs, so I narrowed it down to 1 of their models in their K series and another model in Toshiba, and picked the Toshiba under high recommendation of the assistant. In fact, I’m using it and loving it! Very happy customer. :D
Toshiba…..awesome choice….its true that the Asus is quick in performance but that eats onto your graphics and media acceleration…….
Anyways wishing you loadsa success and productivity with your new laptop……
