bbl to fill in blanks.

What's bbl?

I haven't exercised yet, but I'm thinking about it. DH wants to start walking again. But I think maybe not this evening. With the humidex, it's currently 43C. That's 109F. I am NOT going outside unless I have to!!

I think Leenie means Be Back Later?

Ellis! Try to do something for the 10 minutes you promised. 10 minutes of walking even in that heat isn't going to melt you.

I really didn't want to ride my bike at lunch today, it was hot and yucky and humid and WINDY. But I dragged my sorry butt out there because I haven't been making the best eating choices and I need to make up for them somehow. And, ya know, I felt awesome when I got back to the office.

does sex count?

Okay, okay, Melissa.

I'm on it. I'll treadmill or something...

sherpamelissa · 07-19-2005, 08:41 AM

Upper body workout. I added weight to quite a few of my machines. I feel strong!

Then I did a half an hour on the treadmill.

And I ran the whole time! I ended up with 1.71 miles and 208 calories burned. I can't believe how slow I run a mile!

Bike ride, done! 30 minutes 6.7 miles. Whee!

Psst, Ellis - It does count!

I'm sorry girls, I was a slug, no excuse really but I'll give you one just for entertainment purposes. I got home at 6 pm did the dinner/cleaning thing, showered and was in bed by 8:00 (putting DD to sleep so that means I fall asleep too.

I will really try to do something tonight.

Leenie · 07-20-2005, 08:46 AM

Okay so last night I did walk, not agressive but I did for about 20 minutes. Bedder dan nuthin, bodda bing !

ellis · 07-20-2005, 09:05 AM

Yay, Leenie!!

Okay, you've embarrassed me into it. I'm going to walk tonight. It's much cool today.

sherpamelissa · 07-20-2005, 10:50 AM

Woo Leenie!

You can do it Ellis!

I did 40 minutes on the treadmill today. I ran it ALL! It was over two miles but I didn't have my stuff with to write it all down.

Leenie · 07-21-2005, 08:18 AM

(shamefully hanging head)

ellis · 07-21-2005, 10:47 AM

Melissa, you GO, girl!!

Well, I did it. I walked to my meeting last night. It was a 1/2 hour walk, which is the most exercise I've done since my meds stopped working a month ago.
25 minutes into my walk (was feeling very good about myself), a muscle in my left calf seized up. I limped the rest of the way to the meeting, and had someone drive me home afterwards. Today I can still barely walk. I'm in agony. I've just taken some muscle relaxants, and I'm going to take it easy today.
I can't believe this!! Just as I was starting to exercise!! CURSES!!!

Leenie, be careful when you walk, eh?

LegallyBrunette · 07-21-2005, 11:33 AM

What a great thread!! (I'm loving this whole website!)

Today I will spend 30 minutes on the stationary bike, 30 minutes on the elliptical and do an upper body weight training session! (No clue as to how many calories that will burn)

I don't feel bad writing it down because I KNOW I will do it! (Just waiting for hubby to get home since he took my car to his meeting this morning)

ellis · 07-21-2005, 11:47 AM

LegallyBrunette, good for you!!

I don't know about the upper body workout, either, but you know what they say... the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn!!
