May will be a challenging month. Over the next four weeks & beyond, I'll be trying to get all the paperwork completed to buy my first home, a two-bedroom co-op apartment, and will also working at emptying out & packing up the contents of the overly cluttered one-bedroom apartment where I currently live. I hope exercising each day will bring me some relief from stress.
Also, mid-month, the nearby college where I work out will shut down its fitness center & I will need to find a commercial gym to replace it. Last summer, I ran & walked, but my feet still have issues, so this summer, I need to stay indoors on the equipment most of the time.
As usual, my goal is getting in an hour of exercise each day, and if I cannot, to do what I can, whether that be 45 minutes, a half hour, 15 minutes or whatever.
1: 30 minutes elliptical, 30 minutes bike, weights
2: 30 minutes elliptical, 15 minutes bike, 15 minutes rowing
3: One hour swimming class, weights, 30 minutes bike, 15 minutes rowing
4: One hour yoga class, weights
5: 45 minutes elliptical, 15 minutes rowing
6: One hour bike, weights
7: 45 minutes elliptical (lucky to get this in, as this will be a long, overly planned day)
8: 30 minutes bike, 15 minutes elliptical, 15 minutes rowing, weights
9: One hour elliptical (BAD idea, my plantar fasciitis flared up so badly I'm nearly limping), weights
10: 45 minutes bike, 15 minutes rowing (still limping, sore calves)
11: One hour yoga class, weights (amazing how yoga made my foot & calves feel better)
12: 45 minutes bike, 15 minutes rowing
13: One hour bike
14: 45 minutes bike, 15 minutes rowing (saddle sores are bothering me now)
15: 15 minutes elliptical, 30 minutes bike, 15 minutes rowing
16: 30 minutes elliptical, 30 minutes bike, weights
17: 30 minutes elliptical, 30 minutes bike
18: One hour yoga class, weights (Last Monday night class till September)
19: 30 minutes elliptical, 30 minutes bike
20: One hour bike, weights
21: One hour bike
22: 45 minutes bike, 15 minutes elliptical, weights
23: 30 minutes bike, 30 minutes elliptical
24: One hour bike, weights
25: One hour treadmill (an experiment, to see how my plantar fasciitis is doing; also, as a reminder to myself that I can run faster & have the breath to sustain it)
26: One hour bike, one hour yoga class, weights (new Tuesday night yoga class at my gym)
27: One hour bike
28: One hour bike, weights
29: 30 minutes elliptical, 30 minutes bike
30: One hour bike, weights
31: Ran about four miles at the Rockefeller Preserve, which was beautiful, densely green & cool & full of bird song, & then walked around for a while afterward, birding

Well I worked out on my Wii Fit for 30 minutes today, I know it's not much but I'm just starting. I am going to by a new Mp3 player today, along with a good sports bra so I can start the c25k sometime this month.

I have been seriously slacking on exercise and it's starting to show. I think I've lost alot of muscle cuz my pants feel tighter now then they did when I was this weight before. I had gotten down to 219 last fall but since then have crept back up. And I have only exercised about 12 times since Dec 23 (the last day of my regular exercising.) But this week I am determined to start again! I am going to do my Crunch Pilates Video 3x a week and do my Treadmill 5x a week. That is my goal this month! Next month I plan to add in free weights for upper body & lower body exercises too. Today is my first day. I just found this thread and think it is great! Coming back to post my update will definitely help me keep at it!
5/4 Hi ya'll again, I added my day two! Can't wait for the end of the month and see my progress! I guess I'm going to try and add Free Weights for my upper body 2-3x a week this month! I want my arm muscles back too!
5/9 uh oh, i'm starting to slack... so i went out wed night and didn't sleep well so i didn't work out thursday, then i slacked off yesterday too. So after work tonight I'm going to do my Pilates video... and hopefully my TM for a half hour...I just need to do it and not cave in to laziness!
5/12 I haven't been feeling so hot the last few days... I hope today when I wake up I can get on the Treadmill. I know that will make me feel better!

Well I just got done with W1D1 of the Couch to 5k and it kicked my butt!!! I will definitely be repeating this week a couple of times. But, the main thing is that I'm getting out there and doing it. The first time I switched from walking to running, I put it off for a few steps because I was worried what someone would think seeing my big a$$ running. But then I thought, who cares? I'm the one out here doing it, they're the ones watching from inside their house. So who's the loser now? lol
ETA: Now I am off to do my Wii Fit for the day! Then I will have about 40 min of exercise in!! Yay for me!!

The first time I switched from walking to running, I put it off for a few steps because I was worried what someone would think seeing my big a$$ running. But then I thought, who cares? I'm the one out here doing it, they're the ones watching from inside their house. So who's the loser now? lol
You are so right about this. The first few times I went to the gym or exercised outside I felt the same way. Then someone (a skinny gymrat) pointed out to me that most people are so concerned about the way THEY look that they aren't at all worried about how I look. Since then I don't care.
I do still think about it from time to time but I just push that thought back and carry on.
Good job with C25K. It's such a great program. I got the podcasts with the music when I was doing it.
Another good day! Scale is moving down, and my exercise calories are moving up!

well, i updated my chart but all I did to day was the Belly section of my Pilates video as that was about the only section of my body that doesn't ache! I overestimated my lunge ability yesterday and am feeling that burn in my hamstrings. So I figured I would give my self a break as my next TM exercise is a Incline Interval and not do the Butt & Thigh part of the Pilates video either. But this is good, cuz this means my body is rebuilding the muscles! Can't wait to do TM & Arms tomorrow!

6--Bike to work and back, about 50 min; 45-min stabiity ball class; 5K run with a trainer, 32:30
So, hilarious story...
I bike to work this morning, no biggie. I planned to go to a stability ball class and then bike home. So I'm walking back to work (it's about 100 feet from the mall where the gym is to the door of my office building) and I see the personal trainer who I had for my complimentary sessions (for getting people to sign up). He says, "I'm going for a run. Wanna come?!?" I say, "How long?" 5K. "Sure!" I was mostly bluffing. We walk to my building, and I realize, "You're totally going to kick my butt, aren't you?!?" But I drop my stuff at work, and off we go. It was brutal! He's so upbeat, even when I got tired and cranky, he was like, "Come on, just 200 metres to go!" But he finally figured out the secret--tire me out until I can't even talk, and I stop complaining. :lol:
In the end, our time was 32:30 for 5K, surpassing my previous best by two and a half minutes. But I know we were going much more slowly then he would have without me dragging him back. ;) That's okay--he said he likes running with company, and he was very nice about saying I really didn't slow him down that much. :dizzy:
Moral of the story: when you run into a personal trainer, run the other way!! :lol:
(EZ: I'm using this time as my 5K, s I'm going to cross-post this there. That way more people can find hilarity in my pain and stupidity. ;) )

Well Tuesday I had a day off, because I was sore from jogging the day before and I didn't want to hurt myself. Yesterday I didn't do an actual workout per se, but I was cleaning my house and that made me sweat. Does that count?
ETA: This morning I did a 15min workout with the My Fitness Coach, and 20min on my stationary bike. I got 5.2 miles! Go me! lol
