  • Renewed Membership At Stinky Man's Gym
    Well My Ladies:

    Bit the bullet again and renewed my membership at the stinky man's gym. What is this gym? It's actaully called Ultimate Fitness and is on the bottom floor of a local Holiday Inn. It is not owned by the hotel...but their guests use it so I think the owners of the gym get a break on the rent.

    Anyhow, only muscle guys go there and a few women, and the place isn't the greatest looking but it's huge and has lots of weights and circuit training machines, and many treadmills. Also when it is full of the muscle guys it does get a bit stinky, but these guys are so helpful...and I don't have to look at any Gym Hootches (Tiff's terminology for the leotarded, thonged skinnies!).

    We women who go there are serious, so we wear serious sweat pants, cause we sweat and also get stinky.

    Oops almost forgot....70 minutes of exercise at the gym this morning (cardio and weights).

    775-70= 705 minutes to go.

    Tkae care all!!
  • Congrats DNW! Back on the track or treadmill should I say. This is gross, but does your sweat smell different when you lift weights or exercise verses just getting hot when the temp is up? Mine does and I just wondered if this is normal.

    Went to visit my friend at the hospital yesterday and with it being an hour drive one way I only have 15 minutes of exercise to report for yesterday. It was late when I did get home, then had two hungry guys waiting on me. I swear they would starve before they would look in the frig. Anyway, they do a lot of good stuff so I shouldn't complain when they don't.

    Tuesday, November 19th ~ day 14

    440 - 15 = 425

    KitKat, sorry about your back, take care of it and don't push anything until it gets all better.

    Gotta run.
  • DWN: Nice rebound. I'm glad you renewed your gym routine.

    Kathy
  • KitKat: Thanks for the good cheer I need all the encouragement I can get. See the fat devil is always on my heels

    Semo: I think we spew out more toxins when lifting weights, at least that has been my, and apparently the stinky guys experience, too. But it is a good sweat, very healthy.

    Ah-A-h-h-h!! New motto: "If you're stinkin', you're shrinkin' ".

    Sheakspeare has nothing on me!:
  • No exercise last night, due to back pain. Tonight i'm thinking of doing 60mins of cardio, probably Cardio Kicks by Cathe.

    DNW: You are a funny one! "the fat devil?" hey I know that guy, when you shake him loose make sure he doesn't come snifin round my parts! lol

  • Good Morning All. Only did 30 minutes last night, I'm still working on getting my house in order before Thanksgiving. And there is a hugh craft show this weekend that I want to go to, so If the house isn't in too bad of shape I can slip off for a day. Lets see....... exercise.....or.......craft show.............

    Wednesday, November 20th ~ day 15

    425 - 30 = 395

    Looks as if I'm going to have to give up my free day in order to make my goal. At any rate, I'm doing much better than I would have other wise. Where's the rest of our group??????? We want ya back.

    Kathy, take care with your back, we don't want you to push yourself then pay a bigger price later.
  • Got up a 5:30 To Exercise...aren't I Special.
    Gym this morning.

    705-70=635

    You know I may catch up to you frontrunners!

    Have a great day.
  • Sorry I havent' posted in so long I have exercised a total or 135 minutes since I posted a week ago. I am not getting in 30 minutes a day right now, but I am just happy that I am getting in the 20 consistently. I am sorry to have let you down on this one. I will join up the first of the month next month and make some adjustments to my schedule so that I can meet my goal. I am not going to make it this month. I am losing though (27# in 11 weeks which i am happy about), so I must be doing something right!
  • Erin, sorry but we are not going to let you off the hook that easy! Now here is a high five for getting your 20 min in daily. We want you to keep posting your time everyday, you have not let anyone down, you know things happen and we do the best we can. Finish out this month (believe me if you stop posting until the next one starts you will quit exercising...been there and done that) and get ready for December knowing that you stuck with it thru November.

    Thursday, Nov 21th ~ day 16
    (I'm counting the days, they say after 21 it becomes a habit)

    395 - 60 = 335 30 min wt lifting & 30 on the Orbitreck

    Woke up at 2am this morning and at three was still wake so I put in my MBC Yoga tape (heehee hubby didn't complain that I had the tv!) and did 60 minutes.

    Friday, Nov 22nd ~ day 17

    335 - 60 = 275

    I'll be out of pocket tomorrow, my only living Aunt passed away yesterday so I'll be in Mississippi for her funeral. Try to post on Sunday, take care.
  • Mornin yall!

    No workout again last night. I am so bummed! I'm going to try to do 45mins of weights depending on the ole back and do 60mins of cardio tomorrow. We'll see about Sun. If I do or I don't i'll post either way.

    Congrats to all who are making those minutes everyday!

    Erin- Semo is right. Your not going to get away that easy! Post those 20mins sessions each day girl! OH, congrats on loosing all that weight!

    Kathy
  • kitkat: Give your back a break and see if you can do some sort of exercise that is not too strenuous...maybe your best bet is carido for a couple of days until your back is OK again....back injuries can escalate ...take care.

    Erin: Don't give up before the miracle happens ...we want you here with us..with or without exercising..you can't stay motivated if you don't talk to us right? I haven't done very well myself, but no matter how many minutes I get in it's still a positive....not a negative...negatives are weight gains...everything else is a positive...ask Semo!
  • Uh, excuse me? Where is everyone? No checkins since Fri? Well ladies, we have to do better than this! Everyone took the weekend off? lol Hopefully I can post some minutes later after I get off my lazy butt!

    Well ladies, come post those minutes! Erin you to! 10,15, or 20mins it all counts!

    I spent the weekend nursing a bad back and avoiding asthma (that totall sucks!) but today i'm feeling much better, so back on the exercise horse I go!

    Kathy
