Exercise Accountability -- FEBRUARY!!
 

Wow, Februrary already ...

Back and biceps, run later... Gotta go...

Just a quick post - Krista on Stumptuous.com is looking for heavier female athletes to answer a questionnaire - if you go and check out the iron bit on her site, it's under "What's New?" on the right hand side.

Cardio and weights for arms.

A killer hour-long arm workout (I walked in and said to my trainer "I had a really frustrating day - I'd like you to kick my ***" and he said "we can do that") followed by 50 on the elliptical.

2 hours kickboxing (more like 2.5 but that was just logistics!)

Nice long run/walk this morning (well, long for me...3.6 mi...and I ran the first 1.6 without stopping to walk, which is more than I've ever done, so I'm happy. Had to do an early workout because I have a blood donation appt today, and I always get dizzy afterward if I work out.

No exercise, but I did go to the podiatrist and got cast for orthotics (Ilene, you said you had them right? tell me they are wonderful and worth $380) and got a prescription for physical therapy. Hopefully I wont be running in pain soon.

I did go to a 2 hour long intro to belly dancing thing last night.

3 mile run/walk

I did nothing the last two days, because I can't shake the sickness, and I shouldn't have gone on the group run this morning. Oh how I wish I hadn't! I had to take lots of walk breaks, and then when we were nearly done I fell and slammed my face into the sidewalk. Huge bruise and swelling around my left eye, cut knees, and a chipped front tooth.

Pilates and some push ups.

My knee is getting better so hopefully I can increase my workouts.

Ennay, they are the BESTEST investment I have ever spent $400 on HONEST.... DD had sore knees before orthotics and no longer has problems... Well worth the price.... But it just bugs me that they take pennies to actually make :rolleyes:... my nephew used to work for a podiatrist and this is what he told me :mad: .... Oh well, they know when they have us...

Ennay -- Just wanted to add that the Doc had said it would take a couple of weeks for me to adjust to them, but my first run with them in my shoes were the best and I haven't looked back since... So they may or may not be comfortable the first time out... I also find that since I wear them all the time, at the gym too doing core standing stuff, that if I forget to wear them I am totally off balance now...

Lisamarie, I hope you are doing better! That sucks!!! I feel for you! I am lucky, I have thought about what would happen if I fell while I was outside walking, and the thought isn't pretty. I have done the Richard Simmons Tonin Downtown this morning, and have walked 1 mile ( so far ) to WATP today. ( intend to do more though...)

Legs :strong:

Thanks, luckyducky! I feel much better today -- but my students really got a kick out of my big black eye, let me tell you!

today: 3 mile run, 30 min strength training (total body)

50 minutes stationary bike, 40 min full body weights
