2/6--41 mins. Interval training--50/50

OK, I'm in too....Thank YOu ladies!!!!
I've been hunting for a place to account for my exercise. My February goal is to do Interval training (wts./cardio) 4 hours per week....I started working out again on Jan. 2. In the last month I've lost 4 " off my waist, about 1 inch on each thigh and today I was able to zip a pair of pants that used to look like a bad joke. I've gone from zero exercising to 3.25 hours per week. This week will be 3.5 hours total.

Hi ladies, congrats to all of you on your ex. plans! I got upset today because I really had planned my aerobics today and I didnt do them! I wasn't feeling so ducky and very upset about it as I do notttt want it to affect my goal. THank goodness I at least accomplished my upper bod toning and managed that! I just don't want to start slacking! Legit reasons or not, I am so hellbent on accomplishing this goal and it upsets me if anything gets in my way. Any words of encouragment or a good swift bootcamp style kick is most welcome! bring it on!

Soon2BFitChick 02-10-2007 10:51 PM

Fullsteam, I think we all think that way. Afraid that if we don't do it perfect every day that it will hurt our goals badly. We just need to remember that no one is perfect and even with our good intentions some days are just not going to go like we would hope. One thing I see is that altho you didn't do exactly as planned, you did do toning, etc. You were still in the right mindset of wanting good health and all that. It's when we stop everything and for a good long while that we really start to slack. Pat yourself on the back for what you DID do, and don't worry about what you didn't get to. And start over fresh tomorrow. You are doing great! Keep it up! :cp:

Marble, when I came in to post the other day , somehow I overlooked the post where you fell and just wanted to say sorry to hear of your fall and that I hope your feeling much better.

I'll be back later to update my shedule. Ciao for now : )

I think when I get to 199 I will lower what I require of myself each day to maybe 7500 steps. I just want under 200 badly. I still want to lose down to 177, but I don't care if it doesn't go as fast as it is now.. I won't change my food plan but I feel like I'm on the treadmill so much I have no life. LOL. Probably has a lot to do with being couped up inside in the winter too though. I guess when it's warmer I'll be outside more and will hit it lots easier. Ah well, we'll see.

FullSteamAhead 02-14-2007 05:25 PM

Hello again, hope you all had a super day. Soon2bfit, I think you are doing amazing, I really do :cheer: I notice you had a cheering goal each 10 lbs, but I think a cheer is in order right here and now! :) Your doing great!

I couldn't agree more about what you said about nice weather and getting outdoors! We are in the middle of a blizzard right now and although I am forever thankful for my treadmill, it does get or feel monotonous sometimes. When I can get outdoors and walk or hike it is so enjoyable , it doesn't feel like exercise at all, it's just so nice! It's just a matter of hanging in there now while the weather is cold, and I too truly beleive once the weather is better and we move it outdoors , it will make a world of difference! The way I am looking at it, at least we are getting primed up for t hose outdoor activities! Usually in spring (after a long sedentary winter for me) I hit the park with hubby! He takes me up some intense trails, and as much as I love being outdoors and the rush I get from it, I find myself huffing and puffing in the beginning! Who knows! maybe this time, I will lead him up those trails this spring :D Anyhow, just wanted to say I think your doing great and to keep it up! Some days, I do my workout with ease somewhat, other days I have to push through the whole way through! I guess that's natural, but one thing is for sure........this winter working out sure is a good primer for the spring around the corner :) so let's keep it up!

I'm bummed about the stall in my exercise, but it is probably wise to rest a sore tailbone for a few days. I'm afraid I'll lose momentum which usually leads to giving up....but I seem to be healing, and had some motivation from my clothing being looser. Today was much less painful to roll down the weight bench, but I'm doing mostly cardio and standing when I use my dumbbells except for chest work and push-ups.
1/2 of a session is better than no session at all, tomorrow I'll feel even better.

Everyone else's workouts are QUITE IMPRESSIVE!!!! I'm cheering for all of us too. BBL thanks for all the good wishes, I truly appreciate it.

Friday; I'm determined to work out...but it's mostly lighter cardio this week, the sweat is not running off my nose.

FullSteamAhead 02-15-2007 06:06 PM

Hi all :) HOpe everyone had a nice valentines day yesterday.

Marble, so happy to hear that your feeling better : ). Try not to worry about the stall in your ex. , it was beyond your control and wise of you to rest and get better and to recover first. I understand how you feel though, I felt like that last week when I wasn't feeling well, worried if I didn't do it I would lose my momentum, etc. I'm sure that wont happen, your doing quite impressive yourself! :) You even managed to do some of your workout even while not fully recovered, that's great as long as you feel well enough do it and it isn't slowing down your recovery in any way. SOunds to me like your well on your way and im sure tomorrow you will be feeling even better, as mentioned :)

Ladies, I am sorry I missed so much recently. Marble, I am sorry you fell, but let your injury heal or you may risk doing further damage. Don't feel guilty, take care of yourself!!!

My kids have been sick (luckily I got over mine quickly), Makenna has Pnemonia and an ear infection/ Tommy is just getting over a cough and I think he may have an ear infection too (I think we went to the doctor too early for Tommy). We are going on week #2 of illnesses. I have been sterilizing and sanitizing like CRAZY. Washing linens every night, Lysoling Toys and furniture, Bleaching all hard surfaces including door knobs. I have tried to keep up with my workouts,I am not doing to terrible, I am about halfway to my goal. I hope to get in an extra long workout tonight.

Happy healty day everyone!!

hey jcatron, don't worry to much about not reaching your goal. Illnesses, our own or our family's, can't be helped.

I'm behind on exercise myself. I've been sick. Still am a bit. ugh! (I'm updating on pg. 1 so probably no one is reading it.) ha!

jmc

jcatron243 02-17-2007 01:27 PM

jmc that is where I update also, on page 1. I am lucky enough to have my husband. He is able to take care of the kids while I work out. I would prefer to go workout in the morning but after we joined I got a new job I have to be there at 7 am through training and 4am once training is over. I just have to get used to working out in the evenings. I got up this morning and worked out though. Today is my first day off since Feb 2. so I am going to do some deep cleaning and sorting so I can get rid of stuff we don't need (Toys and such). HAPPY HEALTY DAY EVERYONE

Oh and an update on Tommy, I ended up taking him to the doctor yesterday and he did have infections in both ears, so with the help of antibiotics my children are on the mend!

Soon2BFitChick 02-17-2007 01:41 PM

Jeni, good to hear the kids are getting better now. I know exactly how hard it is to maintain normalcy when kids are ill. You really did do great considering! :carrot:

jmc, hope ur feeling better too! :hug: I was sick but it's almost gone. Can't wait for springtime!!! :flow1:

fullsteam, thanks! I feel better since I have lost back down. I am just focusing on consistency. I want to make sure I never slip up again and gain any back. :D

marble and dust, hiya! You are both doing great this month too!! :cp:

I want to get to 199 then I won't expect so much of myself, and I won't mind losing more slowly then. But til then I have to stay with this to lose at least 2 lbs a week.

As for me..

hi there, I'm worried! : ( My ankle started buckling a few days ago (due to old injury, a break, long story) . I felt a little kink in my ankle past few days but thank god the injury has not resurfaced! I took today off! Must follow my own advice, to get better first! im just praying!!!!!!! if it kicks up again, I can t walk (cant wear shoes, go out nothing!) and can only manage to limp along in the house barefoot due to the pain! TOmorrow if I am okay, im going for it! If I am not , I wont! ohhhhhhhhhh, I was so upset this morning! anyways, as long as I am well I will fight like the dickens! I think that the exercise is helping me in the long run and my old injury! Sorry to ramble, I have a tendency to do that! lol take care and see you soon! anddddddddddddddddd keep up the awesome awesome work :) so glad to be part of this team! :)

So sorry to hear about your ankle. If you wanted, you might could do some toning with small weights with your arms, maybe some knee lifts while sitting, if you don't hurt when you do those. Keeps your mind in the right frame while you recoup. I really hope you feel better soon. And we all know, there will always be time to exercise later. :D

I lost 1.5 lbs and 2 inches this last week. Wish it were more, but ah well. I've been on plan so maybe I gained some muscle. :strong:

Hello there, hope everyone had a great weekend : )

Soon2b and marble, thanks for the input, support, etc. regarding my ankle. Much appreciated! I took a day off from exercising and it seems to have done the trick, I'm ok now (just a smidgen of a kink). I like the idea of the neoprine support, def. will keep that in mind. As far as any fracture, I broke my ankle 25 years ago and broke it again the summer before last. The occassional problems which arise are due to the old break.

marble, I'm glad your much better! your on your 8th week of regular exercise! way to go! I'm not wimping out this time either! warm weather right around the corner sure is an added incentive.

soon2b, congratulations on the 1.5 lb. loss and 2 inches! :) I think that is great! and I'm sure you have and are putting on muscle, absolutely! From the walking I just started since feb1, I see a real difference in my legs.

Keep up the awesome work ladies :) let's keep it going. Have a super day.

fullsteam; a stress or spiral fracture won't show easily on x-ray, but you will feel it.....breaking it 2X? sounds like my nose....I broke it 2X in 14 months....yes, it looked like a big smooshed potato hanging on my face, I was a big mess after a fall....but plastic surgeon made it pretty again, even my nostrils are perfect. it took over 6 months for the swelling to go down last time.

You can buy the neoprene ankle*sock* (open heel) at any discount pharmacy, I got one at Walmart...they are about 8.00. it also keeps the injured area warm..be sure to get it fitted properly, don't buy too big.
