I shovelled snow today!

Oh, exercise. Sat I did a 90 minute racquetball clinic which was really fun! Then yesterday I did a mile :tread: followed by a body pump class :strong: which is a killer. I do lots more reps - though with lighter weights - than I do on my own. I do LOTS more squats, lunges, and crunches than usual too. Needless to say I am nicely sore today. :carrot:

Today I ran 5.37k, this afternoon I will go do chest and triceps, tonight it's swimming...I WILL DO IT ALL!! I've been so lazy food and exercises wise...

Ah ha! :gossip: Ilene's being lazy! Where's that darned horn thing she's always blowin' at me .... :coach: Turn off that chair and get up off your TV and go pump those pec's. The next time you shake your finger at me do you want those arm flaps waving too? :nono:

:faint: I'm devastated! My idol had a lazy spell.

TAEBO DONE! WOO HOO:carrot:

I have an AB DOLLY that I keep in the laundry room closet ("out of sight - out of mind").... well, I've brought it out and am keeping it under my scrapbooking table now so that it is clearly visible. I have a new rule...every time I enter the laundry room (which is quite a few times every day with a family this size) I have to do reps. This is the third day and my abs are really feeling it. It works upper and lower. This better start paying off!

Must shower. Hope you are all having great workouts! Glad to hear you were heading to the gym Ilene!

Oh, and yes, I can speak from experience since we get pleanty of it here - that snow shoveling DOES count! LOL;)

Ilene, you know I appreciate you very much. I suppose, in my class clown way, I just wanted you to be back 'up'. I don't like my friends to be down.
I think you're an awesome inspiration for women of our .... um .... life stage :)

So I just wanted to be an encourager like you've encouraged me. It really never crossed my mind that I might be a 'pita' instead. ;)

Too funny!

I can't wait to shovel snow in Alaska! We're waiting for the house to sell, then we're on our way!

The weather has gotten cold and work has picked up, I am going to have to make a better effort to get moving!
