Chicks in Control, July Exercise!
 

Okay, okay, so I'm a little late again! :lol:

If anyone would like to post their exercise, come on in! :welcome2:
I'm going to challenge myself to running at least three times a week. But I'm aiming for more.

In fact, there are a few people who should be joining me in here... tap tap tap...

I ran yesterday.
10 minute run, 2 min walk, 3 min run, 2 min walk, 3 min run. :running:

Exercises...mmh...exercises...
Here is what I´ve done so far this month:
- running around in total panic (48h til exam!!)
- running around searching my little cat
- jumping up and down and screaming while watching scoccer (you know, Worldchampion- thing here in Germany at the moment)
- walking past the hometrainer a few times per day
- fighting with my binge beast (call me Muhammed Ali...)

Ok, I guess my exercise regime could need a bit...improvment. But I begin to be seriuosly commited (??) about it. Really.

I´ll write more when I am really exercising....

Kate

Kate: Ugh! I'm soooooo sick of football and I'm sooooo glad that we are nearing the finals so that my hubby doesn't force me to watch 3 games a day anymore!!! I am interested to see who ends up winning though! hehehe

hmmm excercise! I willllll do my eliptical and my workout dvds!

Hi ellis! nice to see you again...

Kate - you exercise looks alot like mine...lol

I am so unmotivated right now...I need to get moving..lol...anyway my goal for this week is to work on my stomach so I'm planing to do at least 20+ sit ups per day and I would like to get in 3 days of cardio this week...
I managed to get in my sit ups for yesterday

Hi, Donna! :wave: Are you getting your sit-ups in, girl? :drill: Come on... it'll take you five minutes out of your day... you can do it! :hug:

Kate, that sounds like plenty enough exercise for you at present. ;) Hang in there, girl. :hug:

Scooter, how are you doing? Are you squeezing some exercise in? :)

I just ran. I am in agony. I could only run 10, walk 2, run 3, walk 6 today. My thighs are killin' me. I could barely make it up the basement stairs.
You know when you have those days when you just don't have it in you? Well, I'm hoping that's all this is. :lol:

Good morning!

Ok, my main exercise is still running around in panic, but I really made it do some REAL EXERCISES today!! Wow!!

Well, but unfortunately I noticed that our hometrainer (stationary bike) is broken...But I have a bandage for me knee, I hope that I can go walking again very soon.

So I did 15 Min cycling on an broken bike (was terrible hard), than 5 Min on the stepper (not good for my knee) and some Sit- ups etc for 10 Min.

And I am willing and prepared and everything to continue posting in that exercise thread! I am gonna make it this time!!

Kate

My challenge for July 2006 is to do cardio 3 times a week for 30 minutes. Started yesterday, so I hope I will stick to it this time around:dizzy:

Guess what I finally did? I exercised!!!! Twice in the past 48 hours actually. I've been SO unmotivated when it's come to exercise the past 2 months have once again realized how necessary exercise is if I want to LOSE weight, not maintain at a weight I am not happy with. It doesn't matter how on plan I am with my eating, the weight still refuses to budge without exercise. I did two 30 minute run/walk sessions on the treadmill. And I'm going to try to get at least an hour a day of proper exercise in every day from now to goal. And then chop it down to 3 days a week when I'm at goal.

Oh, thank goodness! I didn't know what to do ... I thought I was going to have to drag you in here by your hair! :lol:
I'm SO glad for you, Christian. :cheer: :cheer:

Lets see..
Sat. July 1st I did 4 miles walk.
Sun. July 2nd was my off day from working out.
Mon. July 3rd I did "The Firm: Muscle Scultping" (50 min).
Tues. July 4th I did 4 miles walk.
Wed. July 5th I did "The Firm: Total Body Sculpting" (50 min).

So that is my July so far. :-)

Hoping on the exercise wagon. I need to vary mine some as I had hurt myself then became lazy.

July 6 Walked 2.3 km

Wow ellis I don't know how much exercise you normally do but this sounds like lots to me. I can only dream of being able to do that much.

I really exercised.
I did one hour of walking and running this morning. I am so feed up with walking- I want to be a runner! But my knee hasn´t the same opinion. But i didn´t care today.

Exercising helps me to get rid of that dissapointed and angry feelings. Interestingly, for the first time in my life, I feel the urgent need to move.
I would love to be able to run around and kick something....Maybe i should give soccer a chance....But I am so bad when it comes to ball sports. But i would love to....

Anyway. I exercised today. Just wanted to say it.

Kate

well so far I've only managed to get in 2 days of my sit-ups this week...I just can't manage to get going right now...hope I can finish out my weekend goals...and I plan to start out next week with a bang..

Kate-way to go getting in your exercise today

Harpo-congrats on getting in your exercise...I also am so unmotivated right now...maybe we can motivate each other

gremlina-wow ..I wish I had your energy.

Oh Kate I used to love to run but my knees have been injured from it. I still burst in to short jogs now and then but my knees cry in pain. I do find walking is almost as good and I get the same getting rid of the dissapointment and angry feelings. There is something about getting out side and moving that cheers me up and puts me in a positive mood.

Thank you for saying that, Christine... that made me feel really good. :hug:
I hope you heal up soon!

Congratulations to everyone exercising! :cheer:

Ellis I don't know if I will ever be able to really run again. Injured myself in November and still can't seem to do much. Oh well I will focus on what I can do

July 8--2.3 km walking, 30 crunches

had a great day yesterday...ate healthy and managed to get in 25 sit-ups....I still need to work on getting back to the gym for my weights and cardio

Friday, lots of walking in Kansas City

Saturday, 1 hour pool exercises, 15 minutes dancing like a crazy fool in my living room!

Juchu, I walked one hour this morning!
That means: exercise challenge this week: DONE

July 6th- Walked 4 miles
July 7th-"The Firm: Fat Blasting Cardio" (35 min)..I should have done more that day.
July 8th-Walked 4 miles
July 9th-Off (I only exercise 6 days/week).

Oh..believe me every day I force myself to exercise but I usually do it before I really start my day so I have no excuse kwim? I really want to get into running but want to wait until I lose a bit more weight so it will be less stress on my knees.

Stacey

July 9~ 6.3 km walking, 50 crunches

I'm starting my workout today and hopefully can last the whole week. Wish me luck!

Good Luck Angie

July 10~ 1.4 km walking, 60 min weights, 50 crunches

I was walking/ running for 40 min this morning. Now I try to ignore my knee. Hurts a little bit....

Kate

Good luck Angie...

Kate great job today..hope the pain is not too bad...maybe it will build up your knee strength and be fine in the future

Christine great job...walking , weights and crunches...keep it up

as for me I still can't get motivated to work out...I've been working over 50 hours the last two weeks and I'm just so tired...hope things get better soon so i can get back into my old routine

Good luck, Angie!! :cheer:

Donna, I am so with you. :hug: I'm tired and irritable, and I can't get my butt moving. :(
I hope your workload eases up soon!

Keep it up, ladies... you're doing great!! :hat:

July11~ 3.4 km walking

July 12~ 2.3 km walking

I did 35 Min. Walking& running today. I actually start to run a lot more of the dustance than I am actually walking....Quite good, if you remember where I came from.

And I started to do some strengthening exercises like crunches etc. I did 20 Min yesterday and the day before yesterday:carrot:

Hey, I am a runner! I am an exerciser! Wow.

Kate

:carrot: Yahoo Kate, way to go :carrot:

I'm still working alot again this week so I haven't managed to get in any exercise...hope next week goes better.

keep up the great work to everyone else

Ok, according to my food journal I did my walking running exercise on Thursday (or Tuesday? The day after Wednesday. Always mess it up!)- I am so confused at the moment, thank god I am writing it down!

And I did my strengthening exercises in the past days. 15- 20 Min each day :D

Mmmmh, doing exercises and liking it- strange things are going on

Kate

Hello, anybody else outthere?

My report: 15 Min. strengthening exercises yesterday, 70 min Walking and running today (I ran/ jogged more than 25 Min)

HELLO ???!!!

Ok, it´s not the most vivid thread here....Just wanted to post that I did my exercises. I am now at 30 Min running three times a week and 15- 20 min strengthening exercises each day.

kate-great job...wish I could run for 30 min....keep up the great work..How did you start out with your running to build up your time?

as for me I finally made it to the gym on tuesday and I plan on going again tonight if I can get off work on time..

great job kate :)

YAY Kate!!!

Kate should inspire all of us to get off our butts!!!

I have been getting in 3 mile walks (at NIGHT of course or I'd probably die of heat stroke). I'm doing it, just bad at reporting on it.

Hey, Hello everybody! :wave:


Harpo: To be honest: I am bad at reporting my exercises as well. But I am much more worse (??) at remembering if i exercised today, how long....Writing it in that thread helps me memorizing somehow. Ok, and I am a little proud....

dgpebbles Thank you! I actually started with walking. I walked to a nice road (not much hills, forrest around, not so hot) and then I ran for a time. If I couldn´t breathe anymore, I walked again. When feeling better: running.
I am still running slowly- all that extreme fit runners are outrunning me. I was always afraid about that (because of that "Haha, see that fat girl running" factor), but there was no rude comment until now.
The strangest thing is that i still walk at the beginning and the end. Not because of my fitness level, it´s just because there are certain people who are saying that I mustn´t run because I am overweight. I should walk- but i hate walking! So I am cheating a bit.....

Kate

Hello!

I popped into this thread to get a bit of motivation and the first thing I saw was the avatar of Ellis------Wow, I know I've missed Ellis, I know its been awhile, but she looks a bit:fr: different than I recall :rofl:

Kate~:bravo: :cp: :bravo: on your running success! I'm really impressed!
