I started a new thread - but made it for Saturday AND Sunday as I thought the posting might be light.

I will stick with Marvin's Question of the Day for the weekend: What are you going to do for fun/exercise this weekend?

My update: I didn't do any exercise yesterday. I just felt exhausted. I watched a good movie - Frequency - that I rented. My fun/exercise plans for the weekend are yoga class this morning (which I did) and swimming and hopefully at least yoga tomorrow. It may rain and I'm watching my friends kids for a few hours tomorrow. Today I worked out in the pool for about an hour but I was doing water aerobics and using the kickboard and dumbells. I got a perm this morning and didn't want to get my hair wet.

Morrigan: I hope you had fun with your friend from California. When is the triathalon?

Marvin: Did you get the two yoga sessions in? What movies did you watch?

Copperblu: Hope you enjoy your cardio sessions at the gym.

Winterstar: How are the house repairs going? That can be a lot of exercise too.

That's it! Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Hi, I'm Ageoldie and I been around the 3FC site here well over a year and jump in an post on anything that catches my eye. I am a regular poster on the Oxycise thread among others. I am having a really tought time staying focused right now. Iknow what to eat, Iknow to drink plenty of water, and I know I need to exercise every day.. So WHY can't I DO it???

I thought If I hung out with you guys a while your enthusiam for exercise would rub off on me

I live in Dallas and I am a member of The most up-to-date, sate of the art health club in the city.(and let me telly you there are a lot in Dallas) and try to go every morning during the week. I mostly do water aerobics. They have three different kinds of water aerobics classes. The one I like best is one called H2O Pump. It's a strength training class in the water. The other two are just regular shallow water or deep water classes. I do the Pump on Mondays & Thursdays, the only days its offered and then on the other days just do whichever one I feel like doing that day.

The club has started a contest that they are giving "points" for different activities you do to try to get us our of our ruts and to try something different. You can get a max of 5 points per week. If you get 10 in the first two weeks you get a free beach towel, and if you get the total 20 for the whole month you get a free shirt with the club logo. I'm determined I'm going to get the shirt, So I need you to prod me along. And also I thought that during this contest would be a good reason to get back in the weight loss mode.

So to ramble on about myself, but I did want to let everyone know what I'm thinking. Wish me luck and I wish the same for all of you.

Hi Ageoldie - Welcome! I find this is a very motivating thread. The people on here are doing a variety of different types of exercise and we all try to motivate each other, especially when we hit those plataeus.

The thread has been really busy lately but I guess people aren't posting this weekend. Everyone must be busy exercising! I know a lot of people were going out of town.

The contest at your club sounds like a good motivator. I also really like water aerobics. We have a pool at home but in the winter I swim and do water aerobics at the YMCA.

My update for today: I did about 40 minutes of yoga, targeted at the thighs and abs. Then I did leg weights for about 15 minutes and 30 minutes of water aerobics in the pool.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
