  • Last night:

    5 mins walking for warmup, 59 mins elliptical (4.3 mi).
    I should have just done that last minute, huh?
    It was kinda killing me toward the end.

    Susan:
    Thanks...it's the only exercise I can halfway stand so I'm going to stick with it for now. And, if I didn't have my ipod and some rockin tunes, I wouldn't be able to make it! It's my hour of the day to hang out with myself and listen to music...

    Thanks,
  • Ah, yes! The power of music. Really helps doesn't it?
    We will forgive you the one minute. Congratulations on admitting that you were a minute short. I fear that some folks think they're fooling somebody when the round up.

    I biked 5.6 kms today. Much nicer weather. I still was pushing wind but a little more exertion probably won't hurt me.
  • Thursday -- chest and tricep, 1hr run
  • I would like to join. I am going to make my goal a minimum of 4 days of exercise of some type, at least 30 minutes at a time.

    April 8 Walked at mall 30 minutes
  • Welcome dustcatcher!


    I'll have to change my sig because I didn't get my 1/4 of my 100 kms done last week. I'll go biking in a few minutes here and try to do better this week.
  • But this week is looking up. 5 miles today (8 kms)
  • Ran 12k this morning, I'm freakin' pooped!!
  • Ilene - I wish I could say I just ran 5k!!! That's awesome!

    I don't usually exercise on the weekends, but I did have a softball scrimmage game today. First game is Friday.

    Thursday and Friday I did one hour on the elliptical.
    On Thursday night, I reached a goal of hitting 10,000 strides in an hour - it ended up being 4.8mi....but now I would like to hit 5 miles in an hour. I might take a while.

    I'm really frustrated because I gained 2.6 pounds at weigh in on Saturday...and after all that exercise. My food was okay. I think it was because I was feeling bloated (my first TOM since starting WW). And my leader asked me if I had eaten soy sauce the day before and I had - I ate Chinese stir-fry on Friday. I had a good week and it's just so frustrating. How can you gain that much in a week?

    So I'm going to just do my hour of cardio every day again this week and see what happens. I hope it all comes right back off.

  • Girlie -- If TOM is there and you had soya sauce don't fret too much about it, just keep at it...
  • Today walked at mall 30 minutes

    dustcatcher
  • 4 kms today. I stopped to talk with my neighbour. He thinks I should raise the seat on my bike. Says that it's too low and that's hard on my knees. Any thoughts anyone?
  • Newbie here.

    I did 20 minutes on the elliptical today (vs my normal hour)
    And danced around with the kiddo for a half hour or so.

    My goal for this week is to be active every day...and hit the gym at least 2 more times.
  • Did 30 minutes on the rebounder (alternating one minute as fast as I could with two minutes more moderately) and 30 min strength training with my stability ball / resistance tube combo. My abs might be very mad at me tomorrow.
  • Oh my gosh folks we're laggin here!

    I like mad abs. I feel like they're still using calories the next day

    I've been spending some time redecorating but that uses calories. My biking is falling behind. I'll try again today.
  • There ya go! I had to go to the post office, so I biked. 9.6 kms! That's much better.
