Hi. I'd like to join you if it's ok. I've been posting exercise on the Sonoma exercise thread but it has gotten very quiet lately.

Tonight I biked 6.5 miles and did a stability ball dvd with light weights.

Hello Shrinking Mama. How have you been?

I did my 25 minute run last night outside. My times are getting better. Finished first mile at just over 11 minutes and the second mile just below 12.
Tonight is WT... and I'm going to do it!

45 min walk/run (I am being bad to the shoulder, but it didn't hurt too much, and i was ITCHING to run).
25 min stability ball (minus the arm exercises), 100 crunches.

Welcome Shrinking Mama.

Today was pilates, weight lifting, and exercises for legs.

Hello, hello. Thanks for the welcome. You guys are so active. It's great.

Today I did Turbo Jam Cardio Party (40 min) and TJ Abs Jam (20 min). I'm behind on my running day but don't think it's going to fit in tonight. I'm picking up company and hoping to get a brisk walk in with them this evening.

Hi Softballmom. I'm fine and exercising just having trouble fitting in the runs. I was running on the treadmill while my youngest was down for his nap but he is not cooperating any longer.

My hats off to mothers with younger children at home who can still fit their exercise in. When I first lost down 10 yrs ago my kids were toddler and kindergarten, needless to say trying to be a mom and doing things for myself never quite caught on, and my weight and health took a big ding. Now my kids are 12 and 16 (drives) so they are picking up more responsibility for themselves which allows me to pick up more responsibility for myself. It is very important for you to find time and do this for yourselves, you will be glad you did in the long run (and they will, too).

I did full body WT last night. Really wanted to take a bubble bath and escape, but once I started I was glad I did it. Had a better attitude afterwards.

Oh, I remember those days when the kids were priority and I cam in second... I managed though I used to go to the gym at 5:AM :faint:... I still do it when I have to but it's not easy...

Today I am doing legs...

This week DH and I were away in the Laurentians for a short 2 day vacation... We biked 30 in the mountains on Wednesday it was awesome and at times difficult with the hills...We had lots of fun...

I did 40 minutes on the treadmill at a 4% incline.

and on Tuesday and Wednesday I did 30 minutes at 1% incline

45 min walk/jog (with 15 of that running....I did 2.5 min walk, 1.5 min run, 10 times, plus a five minute walk cooldown).

Not feeling like it was enough cardio (I'm in workout mode, apparently) so I'm going to do 30-45 min of stationary bike on my lunch.

Stationary bike done - 35 min.

Sort of a mixed cardio with light weights today. No cheating, I had on my HRM. 40 minutes. It was nice for a change.

Got my run in tonight. 2 mile run in 23 minutes, then some walking. Total time: 43 minutes.

I ran 3.1 miles in 33:37 minutes. Then I did Turbo Sculpt (40 minutes). Tonight I did 40 minutes of exercises in the pool. I'm tired but it feels great!

Billy Blanks Tae*Bo and weights for arms.

Walked at mall 30 minutes
