Not the workout I wanted or the intensity but I got meds from the doctor today and that should take care of my sinus problem. Hoping for a much better day tomorrow.

Did the FBWO, jogged 10 mins before, then 30 mins after. Beginning to regret putting weights on the same days as running, lol.

not feeling great this morning...not sure why.
I have a really busy day today...but doesn't everyone!!

4/1...60 min cardio/sculpt
4/2...30 min cardio

Dea
Sorry you aren't feeling better. I hope you feel better as the day goes on. I don't have a busy day lol. I hardly ever have a busy day.

Jam
Sounds like you are doing terrific.

Back on track
Sinus can really mess things up. Hope you feel better soon

I have lost my notebook that had all my dumbbell exercises listed in it. Oh this is driving me crazy I can only remember half of them which knocks my time down from 40 min to 20 min. Someone had a link on this site that listed a really great upper body workout with dumbbells. Does anyone happen to know the link? Some of those exercises were part of the ones I can't remember. You would think I would remember them since I do them a couple of times a week but I don't lol. I always had to look at my list to make sure I did them all.

Today

20 Min dumbbell workout

Well my first day of April I made 50 minutes of combination of weights and cardio

I tried that once..it lasted all of one week! it was way too much for me! now on running days thats it! running only, weights on days off or running. i can do other cardio (bike or elliptical) with weights but not the running!

Man, I feel good! A good nights rest, meds must have kicked in a little and I got 50 min. of cardio in this morning. Not quite the intensity I would have liked, but not bad.

45 min elliptical
25 min incline treadmill

55 elliptical
20 yoga

40 min. track

Getting things back in order after being sick or having a lot of pain can take time. Nice going on how you are doing.

Only got one hour of skating in tonight, just running late, but I made it count! Great workout tonight. :D

Shy, you might ask on the weight lifting forum...??? Sorry, I'm not familiar with the workout you mean, so can't help. Hope you do find it soon!

Yesterday was my day off.
Today 90 min LBWL and Abs.
20 min Yoga.

Can I just say WOW! You guys are amazing me, you are really working it!

KatieK
What is LBWL?

Shy moment
Thanks for all the encouragement! I want to make my Memorial Day goal so bad, I have to remember not to overdo it while I am on the mend!

I spent 3 hours washing wood floors, vaccuming and dusting my house this morning and now I have to do the upstairs yet. This may be the extent of exercise I get today unless I can squeek something in later tonight after meetings at kids school.

I'm guessing KatieK meant Lower Body Weight Lifting.

Welcome to the accountability group!

So far:
20 min walk to grocery store and back (and back, I was carrying two bags of cat food! Ooof, I was loaded up like a sherpa).

60 min total body strength (trying to get back into a 2x a week habit, I'd been at 1x per week too long).

Planned:

50 min elliptical

Today

back on track...sorry to hear about your sinus problem. Have you ever tried a netty pot to keep your sinus cavities clear?

Cheryl..what kind of skating do you do? Power skating, figure skating?? We are a hockey family, so we spend quite a bit of time that the rink!

4/1...60 min cardio/sculpt
4/2...30 min cardio
4/3...week1/day1 C25K....had to get outside today, it's so lovely!

Mandalinn yes you guessed right.
LBWL is lower body weight lifting.
I'm too tired by the end of it to spell it all out!!:D

50 on the elliptical - done!

ok, i'm joining in here, i seem to always stray although i've been maintaining.
4-1... nothing
4-2... 25 crunches (not much, but i haven't done crunches in years lol)
4-3 ...30 mins incline treadmill (ran out of time at the gym :( will do better tomorrow)

25 min. arc trainer
60 min. strength class (ow! Guess who'll be sore all over tomorrow...)

:bike2: 30min bike :lifter: 20min weights :running: 30min walk :trampo: 20min elliptical

Today, I tried running at lunch time (only 3 miles today, my sister came along to walk, but her knee was gimpy, and she seemed bored watching me go round the track), and FBWO (full body workout) with weights a few hours later. That seemed to work better than doing the weight lifting first. We'll see how I feel tomorrow, but I'm hoping that I'm past the beginner "fatigue" stage with the weight lifting.

Dea, congrats on starting the C25K! That's how I got into running and I love it! The skating I do is just for fun/fitness, mainly jam skating, which is a recreational style of dancing on skates.

Lots2go, welcome to the thread! Looks like you're doing great! I do 15 crunches every morning, before I climb out of bed. (only way I remember)

jam
Darn you are doing great on the exercise front 3 miles of running how terrific.
