I'm jumping in late as far as your conversations regarding loss go. Also, I do not know any of you well enough to offer much support and condolence without sounding like a creepy stalker, but I do understand what loss (or, in my case, near loss) can do regarding health and exercise. In that case, I empathize with you, and I am sorry for your losses, all of you.

That being said, here are my NOV times so far:
2: 1 1-hr class
7: 45 min run/abs
9: 30 min elip, 1 1-hr class
10: 1 1-hr class
11: 63 min run

Thank you Belezura and Downer:hug: Yeah...it helps the mourning process to keep busy and LIVE..:)

Sorry, but nothing to report today...we'll see if I can get something going later today...My muscles are really sore from yesterday's outdoor trail run (2.6 miles without walking and a total of 4 miles ran with about 4 minutes walking in between 2.6 miles and the 4 miles...my all time high so far!) My muscles are actually ACHING...can barely walk...my thighs are so hard and tight...who knew running on a trail outdoors could be so much more strenuous than treadmill running? haha..

Well, THIS Fat lady didn't sing yet though...

Will report later...

Have a nice day all!:)

Hi joyfulloser
Maybe you could do something very light, like just a walk or even a Recumbent Bike, if you have access to one.
That's what I do... I always try to get something in... It make me feel better.
But I understand that some people need the time off though...
Have a great weekend!!!
Bele

Today I had a crappy day. I slept most of the day because I felt so tired. It was supposed to be my workout day, but I'll fit it in this weekend instead.
Funny how just losing a few hours of sleep can screw your system right up.
I may try to get out even for half hour walk tonight.

Hi jenjen...
To tell the truth sometimes is hard to believe I do all that too....
But I try just don't think about it... I take one day at time...
and most of the time I like to be at the gym, because it keep me from eating...
so between eating and exercising, I choose the last one as much as I can... When I miss one single day of it I feel terrible!!! I try to go even if it is to take it easy (which never happens when I get there, but it gets me to the gym)...

Wooo - just finished my 2nd round of Zumba for the day. I love this instructor - I used to take her class on Sundays until she had to quit teaching then, so I made it work so I could attend her class tonight, even though I already did a super intense Zumba class earlier today. Glad I did - put me over 1K calories burned for the day!

I'd like to jump in as well. Last month I was exercising an hour to three a day. I do mostly water aerobics and the like because I have arthritis. Losing some weight made a huge difference. I am able to start climbing stairs. However, the day my family set out to go for our first hike....I tore a muscle in my calf. So I am sort of sidelined...but not completely! I got back to my water aerobics yesterday. It was a shortened version since that was all my leg would allow but was glad to get back in it.

My goal is that next summer, I want to climb to the summit of Mt. St. Helen's.

Welcome Roxanne...the more the merrier!:carrot:

Knee injury (I think runner's knee) so took the day (November 18) off today

Back on track tomorrow!:)

I woke up with sore throat, stuffy head the whole works. I'm exhausted so am going to take the day off as well. But on the plus side, my calf feels SO much better today! I may soon get to get rid of the walking boot I am in and be full weight bearing instead of partial weight bearing!! Woot!

Woke up this morning and went for a 45 minute walk with the puppies (ok they are 3 year old beagles but we call them puppies) and my youngest daughter. We walked till just before sunrise and it was the best exercise. My daughter and I enjoyed the time together very much. PLUS I was FULL weight bearing!! Woot! 45 minutes was all the stress I wanted to put on the leg though!

Hi. I'd like to join in, too, if it isn't too late. I'm sort of starting fresh from today onward and would like to continue editing this post through the rest of the month. :) I'll list minutes and any interesting discoveries or observations during my workouts (trying to stay motivated).

21 -- Walked briskly for 70 minutes (near the end of which, I found a lovely little isolated park in my neighborhood in which I did some push-ups, crunches, squats, & similar activities)
22 -- 0 minutes (I was a little sore from the other exercise and had more writing work to do; neglecting a workout made me feel terrible and guilty; However, I did a lot of vigorous housecleaning that FELT like exercise!)
23 -- Walked for 20 minutes (Afterwards, I felt like it wasn't enough, but I was on a deadline and had some work to do; I'm realizing the importance of scheduling workouts properly.)
24 --
25 --
26 --
27 --

I've lost tracking on my page 2, but I have still been doing exercise. I'll do it week by week intead of going back and editing.

Bele, you are absolutely amazing with your exercise! Welcome Ragdoll! I just started as well.

My plan today was to do an hour of walking and an hour of water aerobics. I walked for twenty minutes and my leg was so sore that I figured I don't want to put more stress on it. So I cancelled the water aerobics (sigh) and I will do the walking in three segments of 20 minutes. Morning, afternoon, evening. That shouldn't put too much strain on a healing muscle I hope. I really wish this thing would hurry and HEAL so I can get back to my normal routine.

Really I can't complain because it is healing way faster than my original estimate but still...it's frustrating!

Chicks... Today I went to a new gym location for my usual Body Pump and guess what?
They had something different instead... They had something called Total Body... Even though I would never leave my body pump classes, this class was really enjoyable... and I liked it also because it was something different for my body!!
I would totally do it again!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!

I know I will eat a lot, so... I will be killing myself at the gym in the next few days :(
