You gals have really inspired me! I have been having trouble getting back into some kind of routine.
These are my "old lady exercises". I am getting better all the time. http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/...ger/index.html
So, today I did all the exercises. I am so proud of myself. I want to do them 2-3 times a week.
I will recommence walking on Wednesday.
MrsJ2013, thank you for starting this thread. I like it that we can each choose our own exercise.

firegirl441- You have a very good start to your 200 crunchie goal already.
loriherdz- I used to do dance routines to popular songs about 10 years ago and what a workout that was. It never seemed to feel like working out though.
Looks like my workout today will be shoveling a lot of snow, it will probably take me 2 hours I really need to invest in a snowblower.
Hello everyone!
Once farm chores are done I will walk for 30min. I will cut down to 2 diet sodas today.
Welcome gailr42! I have some back problems and love to do the streching at the end of a workout. Your workout is similar to the one I used to do. I should get back to doing it again. Thanks.
Yes, the little dog is adorable. I have a big, giant German Shepherd who is also adorable. He has a very non threatening personality. His bigness says all he needs to say, I guess. He doesn't care much about watching me walk in my driveway, but he likes it when we hike.
My DH and I and the dogs hiked on Saturday. I was a little sore afterwards, but not bad. I am not sore from doing the strength building exercises. I was afraid I might have to start over from scratch, since I have not been exercising for a while. I am very happy to find that I haven't gone completely back to square one!
Dang, Emma, you are going to be an Amazon with all that snow shoveling.
I can't believe how hard it has been getting back into the habit to exercise. I give you credit for sticking with zumba, it's a work out loriherdz
Yes, I love my dog-my sister gives me a hard time about treating her like a person. How did I turn into a pet parent! We both have gotten pudgy over the winter so walking benifets us both. We used to have a border collie on the farm -big dogs are great too.
Emma4444 and gailr42-Exercising outside in the freash air plays me out too.
I will remember that it takes 21 days to make a good habit. Stick with the exercise girls!
Thanks mrsj2013 I just know I can't give up on myself! I have to keep going! Bonus, my husband says he already sees a difference in my body!
This Saturday is my weigh in day and I'm really hoping I hit 10lbs! Trying to loose 10 a month.
I talked to my friend Daisy today and she told me of this simple shake diet that I'll use to replace my dinners. I bought all of my ingredients today and just picking up a blender later on tonight.
Basically all it is,
Spinach,celery, baby carrots, frozen mixed fruit, PLAIN yogurt, and Bolt House Farm's juice Green Goodness.
I'm going to eat this for dinner every day except on my rest days, but still eat light on those days. Wish me luck guys!
We went to Bakersfield today, and did I ever walk. Left DH at Sears and I went to Macy's and others. It was a long walk back to sears and I really hustled. This was enough exercise for me to feel it in my legs and feet. Sadly, I didn't find anything to buy. It was hot and crowded and everything in the store was a mess. I found some shoes at Sears, but they had not one pair in my size.
I sure like hearing about your hard work girls! So true loriherdz, we can/t give up on ourselves. How does the shake taste? gailr42, walking in a mall is perfect. It was too bad you came home empty handed. Emma4444 I have needed a push to get going more than once this week. It's been so cloudy. Mr. Sun come shine on me! I will go for my walk today.
I really need to invest in a snowblower.
Making exercise a habit
I have some back problems and love to do the streching at the end of a workout. Your workout is similar to the one I used to do. I should get back to doing it again. Thanks.
