I was away on vacation this week and was active every day in the water, but the walks and kayaking are the only things I can truly count as exercise. Today's 2.5 mile walk was the furthest I've walked at one time since my surgery, and I really felt pretty good. :) I see the doctor on Tuesday and hopefully will get the all-clear to return to all my regular exercise!

Nice ladies.

Chickadee, i love kayaking and wish i had someone here to go out to the lake to do it with. It freakin burns my arms!

I accompished another shred today making me 6/27.
In addition, the hubs was updating my tablet and doing other geeky stuff, so i did 10 min toning video for abs, and a 10 min toning video for arms. He still wasnt done so i did a 30 min yog for healing video i found on netflix. So i seriously got my workout on today.
But i needed it after the amount of food i ate last nite!

I plan to work out tomorrow as well... But with church and family thing, probably wont check in til monday. Til then, good luck everyone. Keep it up!

Nikkidee: I wish we'd had another kayak so that I could have gone with someone as well. It's definitely more fun (and I'm more apt to stay out longer) with a partner. Funny that you mention getting your workout in while your husband was doing "geeky stuff" - my husband is an IT guy and sometimes he wants company when he has to go to a client office late at night or on the weekends, and so I'll go with him and do all manner of no-equipment-needed exercises (wall pushups, squats, lunges, stretching, etc.) while he fixes the server or whatever. It's a good way to fill the time!

It is really nice to see the exercise days adding up on this thread. I feel like I am actually accomplishing something. Thanks for being here ladies!

I got the all-clear to return to exercise today!! :D

nice chicadee! since youve been doing so well this month on modified exercise, maybe youll really start seeing some serious poundage gone with "real" (whatever that means) exercise!!

ladies ... i decided to move up to the second level of the jillian michaels 30 day shred today. it was my 9th workout today, so technically, i should still do two more in the first section, but i felt like i was ready.
holy smokes! she kicked my A!

i did not want to work out. im all down in the dumps today, and just having one of those days, you know. and i REALLLLLY had to talk myself into exercise. i mean i think it took me two hours haha!! i figured if i did the second level, it would be new and fun and so i finally did it. and, i dont regret it. but DANG! my shoulders were burning. i dont think ive ever used those muscles in my life. JM is insane.

sorry for such a long post - but that crap is intense.
but it also brings me to 9 of 27 shreds. im a third of the way there.

@Nikkidee, I cannot wait until I'm in good enough shape to even ATTEMPT a JM 30 day shred. LOL!! Good for you for sticking with it and even going a step further into the second level! That's gotta feel awesome. Congrats!! :D

Okay, I missed the sixth and seventh because DH and I were in the car for a total of 15 hrs.

However, we did go for a 2 mile walk around Columbus, Ohio, on the seventh. So partial credit?

Didn't know if I should repost the beginning of the month workouts that I previously posted. I'm up to double digits now....10 workouts so far this month. Don't know what I'm doing differently, but the scale is cooperating...3 lbs this week alone! It's been so slow at 1 lb a week for the last 7 weeks....That puts me at 10 lbs total.....

My LUCKY number must be 10 this week!
