Ilene- I'm with doughnut, I don't know where you find the energy! With the amount of exercise you do, you'll hit your goal in no time!!
Michelinwoman- trust me, I find it really hard to get up and go, I have only gone once this week so far. I'm not sure how I would do if I was working out at home, takes even more willpower. They say if you can do something for 2 months, it will become a habit. Gonna give it a try.
Liz- sorry to hear you get breathless so easily, do you have asthma? Good thing is exercising can only make it better.
Susan- sounds like your scurrying is actually turning out to be good exercise. Since I started doing fieldwork I have lost 7lbs just from scurrying after infants. So, there is something to be said for movement that just doesn't feel like exercise!
I have packed up my clothes for tomorrow and I am wearing my gym outfit to bed. Tomorrow I will go to the gym!! Back and biceps and the usually run on the treadmill. I've committed and I have no excuses!
Well the week has gone to plan. I feel good about it, even though I'm a bit tired for kickboxing tonight. It's a good job I love it otherwise I'd be a lazy bum!
Tomorrow we are even scheduling a game of frisbee Extra exercise!
Oh and I forgot to post this in my earlier thread on page 1, but on Sunday I am aiming for a 2 mile run. If I don't get round to it I'll do it in the gym on Monday.
I met all my exercise goals this week! Woo-hoo! It was pouring this morning, but I went to the Y and did a "bonus" cardio and lower body/core session. I'm visiting parents this weekend--just an overnight--so I feel OK about missing my usual Sun. morning Boot Camp class.
Anyway, this exercise thread is really helping me. Let's keep it going.
I have done pretty well this week. Stayed on plan with a few minor tweeks.
Wound up running MWF
LBWO M
UBWO Tu
FUll BWO TH
So I got strength training in. Not in the exact order that I had planned but all was accomplished and since this week has been particularly fatiguing for me (allergies?) I feel good about that.
I just couldn't bear running AND doing a LBWO on the same day. All is good and even after some weavy weighted squats yesterday I was able to get in 2.5 miles. Not as much as my normal run BUT the longest I have been able to run on a day after weights. And I put in plenty of sprints.
I made all the workouts I planned this week. Originally, I said that I'd do 30 minutes on the tredmill today, but I think I'll give the cardio-kickboxing a try instead. I'm not a big class person and the class is a bit intimidating, but I'll give it a shot.
I am soooo shallow! many of you know that I cannot get the hang of jogging. I can go a block or so but it's pretty pathetic and not getting much better. However ... today ...
My BIL is a round little truck driver. Not jolly, not pleasant. Basically sits, eats and sits some more. As I rounded a corner this morning, I spied his 82 y o Daddy waiting to pick him up from where he parks his truck. Two and one half blocks from his house! All he has to carry is a little duffle bag!
So I ran .... until I was out of sight. Legs darned near fell off!
