Monday a.m.

Did 32 minutes on the TM today. This is my first Monday getting up at 5:50. Seems to be okay. Am I getting used to this????
Kim

Starting the week off on the right AND left foot! Got in my 4. 5 miles. Took me longer than I'd like, 55:35, but feel good that I got my butt out there. Next stop, this morning's yoga class!!!!:D

Got to the gym and rode the bike over 30 minutes...at a level I am not used to Cross Country - over 200 cals burned - felt great! Tonight before bed will be 50 tummy crunches.... I am feeling really good - really positive - and I know from last year how exercise makes you feel - like on cloud 9 -

Sabrina

Day 1 of this week's challenge...
Walked 2 miles this am...33 minutes

Got up early and did 30 minutes of high intensity intervals on recumbent bike. Then "arm day" at the gym. A starting a new split this week and my arms feel like noodles now. :)

Did my three mile walk video. Thought I might bail at two miles but finished the tape...woo hoo.

Love,
Crystle

:p Which tape do you do Crystle? I am doing the Leslie Sanzone tapes Walk Away The Pounds for Abs. Good job going all the way through the three mile!!!
I am still on the two mile and usually just make it through to 1 mile and 3/4. It's really more a time issue, as I do it in the morning and always seem to be running late (it's so hard to get out of my warm bed with all the snow outside!!)
I usually do a pilates video when I get home from work (and often only go most of the way through that too!!!) I must have a short attention span...but I figure at least I'm getting some exercise.

Renee

I walked 1.8 miles....wanted to do Pilates...but have not moved it upstairs yet--thats the next project for DH
rb

Played 4 games of badminton.

Marie.

Tuesday a.m.

Wow, this board is so busy!!! It's great to see all the exercise posts!!! Congrats to all you busy people who are making time to move your fabulous bodies!!!!! I am so proud of us all!!!

This morning I did 33 minutes on the TM by myself. No phone conversation today as our scheduled days are M,W, F. It was still a good workout. Read the entire time.

It feels good to move!
Kim

Walked 4.5 miles in 59:07-slower:snail: than I wanted but a lot better than doing nothing at all!!!:D

I've completed my 3 days for the challenge!!!! Now, I'm stretching it and will continue on.....:D

No really, you are doing great Deb!!! You won't have to worry about your anniversary weigh in with all this exercise. The pounds will just melt right off.

Wednesday :)

I am so excited!!! I missed the gym this afternoon because of work, so tonight I did my best - I walked 1 mile in 20 minutes....and now I am going upstairs to do my stomach crunches.

Sabrina

Wednesday - Had 4 or 5 games of badminton - was playing for about 1 1/2 hours with a short break between two of the games.

Marie.

Worked out to the Grind today. Broke a sweat and felt sooooo invigorated. Great workout. Later in the evening my honey brought home a tread mill. Got in 20 minutes. So if I get to cheat I have my 3 times in for the week.....LOL

Love the challenge and look forward to getting more exercise this week. It helps having ya'll for the accountability.

Love,
Crystle

Thursday

30 minutes on the treadmill Bumped up my speed a bit, and even ran for 2 minutes!

Walked my entire 4.5 miles, used my POWERBELT which gives me a better workout AND works my arms. Haven't a clue about my time though, screwed up my timer at the beginning of my walk:shrug:

4 days in a row walking and 18 miles logged!!!:D

Aunt Flo is visiting (happy happy joy joy!!) and it's been a busy week at work, so nothing. :faint: :tired:

Put in 32 minutes this morning.

Love,
Crystle

I was able to get in 28 minutes this afternoon.

Love,
Crystle

Walked another 2 miles this afternoon, after work. Time much improved...29 min :bravo:

Day 3 of the challenge

3 days of wt training completed. Today was shoulders, abs, and quads. :strong:


Off to clean the upstairs those bathrooms ought to count as some exercise. :lol:


Hey we have compiled 3 pages of exercises. Good for us. :bravo:

Jackie

Thursday is easy day- 30 minutes of intervals on recumbent bike, and 20 minute dog walk. mel

1 hour of Pilates at noon and running camp this evening, which included 30 minutes of run/walk.

A late report for Thursday . . .

I did 45 minutes on the TM yesterday, because I had a dinner meeting on Wednesday night and ate more than I would have normally eaten. That's my new rule for me. If I go out to eat, I do a longer workout the next day.

Congrats to all who have taken and met and are working on the challenge. GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!! You movers and shakers!!!

Kim

What I posted on the weekly board about my exercise today:

Lack of sleep=lack of desires=lack of energy=lack of sex! Okay, I threw the last one in there for sympathy!:^: I had a very PATHETIC walk today, BUT, considering the obsticales just mentioned with an addition to a painful area on my ankle, I actually went out and did my walk. I hymed and hawed, dilly-dallyed around and finally pushed myself out. I thought I'd just do 2 miles, but as I was thinking as I was crawling, I mean walking, on the street I passed where I would turn to go only 2 miles, so I figured 3.5 miles, but when I got there I said, oh, what the heck and ended up doing the entire 4.5 miles. Now, all considered, it took me 1 hour 5 minutes and 35 seconds. Now for me, that's like a dead mans crawl, so you can only imagine how I was feeling today. I kept feeling a pain right about where my shoe heel hits and when I got home found like a cut and bleeding, not sure what the heck I did there:shrug: Anyhow, I did it and now I'm happy!:D


Throwing in the 13 stairs I walked up and the 13 stairs I walked back down yesterday. I think I did it about 15 times, surely, that counts as SOME exercise:shrug:

Friday Report----

Just finished 46 minutes on the TM. My friend called halfway through. She got stuck somewhere and didn't get home in time. I read and like MONET says, the time passes so quickly when reading and treading. I did one 100-step jog this morning. No reason why, just felt like I had a little extra energy.
Kim

33 minutes this morning.

Love,
Crystle

1 hour of mat Pilates at noon.

Got my second treadmill time in this evening....33 minutes.

Love,
Crystle

Heavy day here: 30 minutes HIIT on spinning bike in early am, then gym in the late afternoon for back and hamstring workout. I barely stayed awake the rest of the acternoon.

Saturday: 30 minutes HIIT on the elliptical.

Sunday is REST day! Yahoo!

mel

Played badminton again yesterday - four games. Day three of challenge.

Marie.

Just finished 41 minutes. It was great flipping through the music cd channels on the sadelite (sp).....made the time go much faster having a beat to walk with.

Love,
Crystle

30 minutes of run/walk, more running than walking
