Sounds like a great workout Liz. WTG.
I didn't get in my c-5k workout last night like planned. Jeff had to fix his motorcycle and by the time he got home and could watch the kids I couldn't convince myself to get my nose out of my book and outside in the cold.
I'm planning to walk during survivor and possibly do the c-5k while the kids are eating. we'll see on that though.

Liz, isn't that pain just great! That elliptical is a killer in my opinion. Dawnyal, I hate it when I plan on something and other stuff gets in the way. Can't stand to exercise outside in the cold either--don't know how people do that.

Sad to say that I had a nasty virus yesterday and so did absolutely nothing. My mind said yes, but my body just wouldn't follow through. Today I'll probably do an abbreviated workout since I'm not 100%--but much better than yesterday.

November 17
35 min. weight lifting
40 min. treadmill (jogging/walking combo)
10 min. abs & stretching

Decided to go for it, and did okay. Feel pretty good right now. Zicam is great stuff!

Sheila - you definitely want your body to heal! Hope you are back too 100% soon!

I did 2 miles WATP (which I believe you sent me Sheila?), I didn't really enjoy exercising... well I can't say that. I got on the scale, and I just feel like crying, I am eating whole foods, lots of fruits and veggies, drinking more water than normal (but not retaining), and it just doesn't fricking BUDGE! I'm watching those calories, fat grams, exercising... I thought maybe it was muscle gain, but everything still FEELS tight. I'm just frustrated.. Thanks for listening to me rant..

Well, I feel good. Just finished doing a half hour of cardio, would have done more but I have to leave the house soon and I got in some walking this morning so I don't feel bad about it. It feels good to be moving.

Meant to do more exercise, but life got in the way. That's okay, though! Maybe it'll keep my body guessing.

I went last night and did 10 mins on the elliptical, 5 miles on the bike, 7 mins on the arc trainer and upper body (push and pull) 3 reps of 10 each

Gonna try to go tonight too.

Liz, if you're just adding weight training and increasing your exercise, you might not see a difference in your weight in several weeks. Don't let it make you give up!! I've been sitting at around the same weight for a while, but my body is changing for the better. I can see it in the fit of my clothing, and everybody keeps asking me if I've lost weight. It's a bit disconcerting for me to get on the scale (and you might not want to for a while), but I'm confident something will give soon. So hang in there and don't let it get you down, okay?
