  • Good job, Kathy! I bought a new video to work out to. It's a Leslie Sansone video. I like it so far.

    Everybody else still with us? How's it goin?

  • Lol, not completely alone... I'm still goin at it, albeit slowly. On Thursday I start Phase II (just a little bit of running) so we'll see how that goes. I've been using videos on my in-between days since i started this BL contest just to keep something going, and I think it's really helping my c2k progress.

    I've noticed you've been consistently doing more minutes than you planned for. Looks like you're getting stronger and stronger every week!
  • Whew! Got in 3 workouts today! I feel really good now, but I bet I'll be sore tomorrow!
  • I'm back. I took a vacation with my husband. I ate badly and didn't exercise. Since I've been home I'm having a hard time getting back into my good habits. I did Wii Just Dance this morning and I'm back on my diet. I'll try to get back on the treadmill today.
  • I know what you mean about it being hard to get back in the swing of things...I've been noticing that if BF and I go out to dinner on Friday night, that sets it up for me to eat badly until Monday morning.. i've got to stop that!
  • Guess who's back?!? The ankle boot is gone, the break is most of the way healed, and I am ready to kick some asphalt!

    Today's total

    Tues-10/10 YAAAAAAAY!!!!

    I'm moving fairly slow to give the ankle time to get used to things, but my doc said I can re-start my training regimen, so re-start I did!
  • Yay! So glad you're back and doing well. Keep it up!
  • I forgot whether I was supposed to do 10 or 15 minutes today, so I decided to do 15 just in case.

  • Started the running phase today and OUCH! My feet are killing me. I have fascia problems to begin with, but 300 lbs pounding up and down on them really didn't help. I'm gonna stick it out though. Losing weight is about the only thing that will decrease the pain right now so it's just one more piece of motivation for me!
  • Holy crap, it was slick out on my usual walking trail! So I stuck to walking around the basketball court so I don't get sidelined again.

  • Hey everyone! Sorry I have been so absent from posting, but I have been of pocket taking care of elderly and ailing parents (actually moving them back to their permanent home from Oregon to Texas).

    I had been doing great through the first 4 weeks, walking various routes through the neighborhood, and using one of Leslie Sansone's videos when I couldn't get outside.

    Today I will get back on track, even though it is raining and cool here in Southern Arizona. I need to break through a nasty plateau I have had over the past month and being more active hopefully will help. It certainly should help my stress level from family stuff.

    And, congratulations to lavieboheme for healing up so quickly and returning to exercise.
