Exercise Week of June 17th
 

Lets get moving!!!! I propose we all throw ourselves into some exercise this week and see how much better we feel!!!! I commit to exercising 4x this week.

Monday - going to the Y will post what I did later.

Well, I WAS going to commit to exercising more than once this week but have already met that goal. Miss Lucy and I just came back from an hour and a half walk. Of course, in Delta, you have to visit with folks you meet but we did cover 3 miles despite the delays. Now it's raining again so our timing was perfect.
This week I will walk at least three more days.

I Know how much better I feel.
 

But yhis week is going to be a bust for me. Monday I will probally go to the club, but Tues I have furniture being delivered, Wed a Dr appt, and Thurs I leave for CT So I guess it'll just be riding me exercise bike. Maybe I should dust off my Oxycize tapes.

Ok. I'll commit to increase my 3xs a week to at least 4 (try for toal of 5).

Good luck! :wave:

6 days for me! headding our when i drop the kids off.

Exercise is where I have been really lacking since getting out of the hospital.

I'm gaining strength all the time so I now will state..........I will ride my stationary bike 3 times this week, working up to a few minutes more each time.

Debbie

This is a great idea. Over the weekend I did my 1 mile Walk Away tape twice on Sat. and my 2 mile tape once on Sunday. So, I am going to set my goal to workout at least 4 times this week. Got stuff going on on Wed. and Sat.,so I might not be able to those days. But I have no forseeable excuse not to the other days. :p Here we go!

UPDATE:

Monday- Treadmill 30 minutes, lots of walking at work

Tuesday-Exerxice bike 30 minutes.

notice how i've been avoiding this thread!!!
 

ok ok ok. i'll do my best to go sign up with that sweet boy rafael at that gym. and i'll call the hotel across the street from work and ask about swimming at their pool.

ya guilted me into it!!!!!:(

jiff, wish I knew how to swim, swimming is one of the exercises the doctors keep mentioning to me, but I have to say "I can't swim. next."

I managed to ride my exercise bike yesterday, not for very long, but at least it was something.

Debbie

No exercise yesterday - except whining - but am off for a walk to the cemetary with the dogs in a few minutes. It's only 2K there and back but better than butt-sitting! We have such a shiny morning!

Debbie - learn to swim. You will love it!

well, deb.. all i can say is: buy yourself a bathing suit before i show up!!! i used to teach swimming to terrified 5 year olds, and i never lost a single one!!!

you and i have a fabulous advantage.. WE'RE NATURALLY BUOYANT!!!! [remember? fat is less dense than water and floats on top???]

we'll get started in the hotel pool.

Update:

Monday--2 Mile Walk Away The Pounds Video--35 min.
Tuesday--Same Plan--will update later.
(Did 2 Mile Walk Away Tape in the morning and 1 Mile Walk Away Tape in the afternoon--the first step on the scale this summer motivated me!!!:eek:
Wednesday---Amazingly enough I got in my 2 Mile Walk Away Tape today--didn't let myself make excuses after I got home from Summer Reading Program:D
Thursday--2 Mile Walk Away The Pounds Video--35 min.
Friday--2 Mile Walk Away The Pounds Video--35 min.

That makes 8 days of exercise in a row for me! :strong:

Gosh sorry I have not posted my updates but

Mon-upperbody workout

Tue rode bike to get the kids 4 miles total and then did lower body workout. did for about 1:15 min Killer!!!

Wed bike to the kids to school then to the Y did killer upper body workout about 1: 15 again then did a 10 mile bike ride this afternoon.

Sadism requested, please!
 

Ok you guys, I need a royal kick in the butt. Somebody remind me how good exercise is for me, and how I had better get on the treadmill or be disowned from the site! I've not done ANYTHING while recovering from tendonitis, and I finally feel like my foot is well enough to walk without damaging it.

Also, any suggestions for making a somewhat musty cinderblock basement more cozy for treadmilling?

I'm ready for my beatings, mistresses!

Jennifer

Walked for an hour this morning with teh grown-up dog. Guess we covered just under 3 miles.
Hey Jennifer - quit flogging yourself. Put some scented candles in that basement for the musty smell (or bowls of vinegar), maybe paint the walls or hang them with sheeting and JUST DO IT!

OH GIRL You do not want me to start on the benifits of exercise you would have a site full of good things!!! But get a dehumidifyer, small tv walkman, candles, anything but go for it!!!

here's a link follow it and you will start to see the light. If you need more reasons let me know!!!

by the way did you know that we woman do not sweat .... we glisten!! LOL I did some major glistening today!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Did lower body workout today KILLER!!!!

No treadmill, but...
 

I did play barefoot football in my backyard with Cody and Rob. Oh dear, I think it has been a very long time since I have been this badly out of shape! It was VERY hot and we live on 'the tree streets' and we don't have any trees! No shade to hide in, just lots of sweating and running. It was fun, but it was embarrassing to huff and puff the way I did. Rob smiled and blew kisses at me, and Cody never seems to notice when I don't keep up. He just thinks it is because I am so old! :lol:

I haven't walked for weeks and now that the tendonitis is healing the rest of my body is out of whack! I will happily walk on the treadmill in the morning. Just no more football!

Cut the dog garden yesterday - took an hour and it was hot as heck! Did another hour of gardening and am a bit sore this morning.

a hot and busy day coming up so I will probably do my walking tape this afternoon.

I finally walked. Just now got off the treadmill. I did 2 miles in 40 minutes. Whew, off to the shower.

Upperbody workout today not as much as i would have liked but had to get ready for the interview

Hi, I made my goal--I said I would exercise at least 4 times and I exercised every day -- Mon-Friday for a total of 5! :D Added to the 5 the week before it was 10 days in a row. Took Saturday off because we were gone a lot. Back at it today!Shall we do another of these exercise threads this week????

I don't know about anybody else, but this thread helped me. I almost didn't get on the treadmill tonite, I've been procrastinating it since I woke up this morning, but I knew I needed to do it and post it here. I may have gotten on the treadmill anyway, but being accountable sure did help!

Great Jennifer!!! way to go.

I will admit that i did not exercise today I slep in for the first time in months. then had tons of things to do so it was put off. but i did give 5 extreemly hard days this week

i will promise for 5 next week but will try for 6
