Susan -- Goals when you are slacking or not feeling like exercising is a great idea...

Today I did legs :strong: and biked 18k...

Ilene :s: , I believe God put you on Earth to make me feel like a weenie little woman. 18k????!!!!! :lol: I do 10 and think I'm supermom or something.
I'm going ... now ... right now.

Ilene - I too, am quite impressed. Makes the 2.23 miles that I went on the elliptical rider today seem like small potatoes...hold the phones...I did do 2 miles on the treadmill and 20 minutes of weights!!! I wish that I could bottle the feeling that I get when I do workout, and stock pile it for when I need motivation. Of course, then again, this site provides a tremendous amount of motivation especially all of you "exercise buffs" out there...You're fantabulous!!

If you find a way I will happily pay lots for a supply. I was sitting here all afternoon thinking about how I didn't want to go to the gym. Made myself anyway and once I got there I felt absolutely splendid and completely enjoyed myself. Why can't I remember that from one day to the next? :?:

I'm new to the board, but I feel if I post here when I accomplish my workout then I'm going to be more apt to do it! :)

I worked out upper and lower body today and 20 minutes on the treadmill (until I got a big ole cramp :lol: )

I stepped out the door and DH the carpenter said "Can you help me with this for a minute?"
Two hours later ... it was dark :(
I'll do legs tomorrow ;)

Susan and Holly -- Your making me blush !! With time you will bring your exercise time up a bit too ... I've been at this for 20+ years now and in order to get the exercisers high that I like, I need to do more, PLUS I've gained 4# lately and I'm kicking the exercise up a notch :lol: ...

Today I ran for 1h07 don't know how far it was but I felt like I jogged all over freakin' town !!

Today I worked chest and triceps and some easy hills on the treadmill for 30 minutes...

My week is going 'you know where' :devil: in the proverbial handbasket! I can't believe it! My new car is having a stereo installed. So here we are the 3 of us working with one vehicle. I've been home for almost and hour and in another hour I have to take someone somewhere and shortly thereafter pick someone up. Then if the dealership ever calls, I have to find someone (who I probably have to pick up) to take me to get my car! And of course today is the day I got called to work at 0700 hrs :yikes: and they kept saying "I'm not sure when you can go home." :s: My poor old husband (who had the only vehicle) had to call twice.
All this is interfering with my fitness plan :tantrum:
So ... since you're all thinking then why is she sitting at the computer? ... I'm going to throw all my shake stuff in the blender, go for a bike ride and ignore the dust bunnies. The car dealership can leave a message!

YEAY!! Its been a while since ive been around, but hey!! Doesnt mean i stopped doing anythign!! Anyways, on Tuesday I joined a gym! I joined a gym (OMG not again)...but I actually like going to it ^_^. Its only $10 a month (+$5 for tanning wohoo).--Their whole thing is so the people who go there dont feel intimidated!... They even have a separate floor for people who want a quiet area!. Also...if anyone starts grunting, or having a bad attitude, they sound a really loud alarm and embarrass that person (bcause they are making people feel bad) :P ITs great!!!


Anyways, for my accountability: Today I spent 2 hours... O_O. 20 mins warm up on bike....9mins in the tanning booth...(snicker), then i did an Ab workout, then i did muscle build on legs (lots of knee work, i need them stronger so i can run soon) then i did 30 more minutes on the bike....and went home and waiting for the shower to be clear ;_; (does walking up the hill count from my parking spot ?) lol.

I'm feeling much better now. I biked five miles, did three sets each of calf raises and dead-lifts and my shake is delicious!

Good for you Susan!! I've been lack in reporting here, and not too good on exercise either. Sigh. :( I went to the gym on Mon and had a good UBWO, but no cardio. Today I have my stuff in the car, and hopefully the car will make the turn to the gym instead of home when I leave work. Can't trust myself to not just go home and veg - as that's the mood I'm in. I know if I can just get to the gym I'll be fine. :lol:

Susan good for you for getting out there when everything goes to :devil: in a handbasket :thumb: The dust bunnies can wait, I know they do, cause they wait for me here ALL the time :yes:

Hey Luna welcome back...

This morning I ran for 30 mins, that's all I had time to do today, the rest of my day was filled with appointments...

:coach: PAT, GET TO THE GYM !!!!!!

Yes, Mom! :lol: But I still have 4 hours at work to go...
