Last night's impulse buy: a pair of cheap rollerblades from Target. I racked up 20 minutes in my parking lot and I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with them over the next month.
ellis: In my opinion it is much more efficient to do the best work YOU CAN DO at the moment without comparing yourself to others. As I started running regularly, I was so proud!! Like: Wow, 30 Min running! I am so great!! And the i met someone, 30 years older, a beginner in running as well, and he told me about the hour long runs he did....and all the stuff. He was faster, better conditioned....It took me a while to figure it out that my achievements werenīt rubbish just because someone else is doing better. You have to aknowledge were you came from.
Flying Betty: Rollerblading is such a great exercise! Unfortunately I couldnīt do that myself: I am really, really untalented in rollerblading.
Transformation: You have ambitious plans for this week and month!! And it sounds great!
rochemist:Dancing at the airport? Even as people stare at you? You are really, really great!!
Walked about 2 miles the previous day. Yesterday we cleaned all freaking day, and if anyone doesn't think cleaning is excercise can take a punch in the nose I scrubbed nasty tar off my blinds, after I let them soak, the water was black, here'd to quitting smoking Kate!
i'm a little concerned about getting my exercise in...school just started today and it looks to be a truckload of work. i got a bunch of textbooks dumped on me today and a few chapters of reading + notes.
at least i still have my weekends. i also may be able to get out in the mornings, and run or bike or something, since i am leaving about half an hour later this year.
everyone seems to be doing great this month! keep it up!
We joined the Y again last week, and yesterday I had a GREAT run on the treadmill... 15 minutes total running out of 30 minutes. And I did a little leg workout.
you go ellis!! great job!! i want to run some day, i am so jealous!!
great week for you donna keep it up!!
i'm sticking to my weight/circuit training with my sister. i'm feeling stronger already. i need to check in at the Y and see if they added back my early sat am water aerobics, i really miss going to that.
Kate, I'm glad you're back exercising! I hope things are no longer too... ummm... messy for you.
Donna, I always ran outside, too, but I find running on the treadmill is easier on my joints at this weight.
Did you make it to the gym the other night?
How about you, Jodi-girl? Been back to the Y yet?
I went on ummm... Wednesday, I think. Had a TERRIBLE workout. I only ran for 3- 3 minute intervals. I just couldn't get moving, you know? Anyhow, I did it.
Today I had an excellent workout. Did some weights and I ran:
8 minutes
5 minutes
3 minutes out of 30.
My legs are still sore, so I took a couple of advil before I worked out. It helped a lot.
