  • Last night's impulse buy: a pair of cheap rollerblades from Target. I racked up 20 minutes in my parking lot and I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with them over the next month.
  • Ok, Monday workout: done

    ellis: In my opinion it is much more efficient to do the best work YOU CAN DO at the moment without comparing yourself to others. As I started running regularly, I was so proud!! Like: Wow, 30 Min running! I am so great!! And the i met someone, 30 years older, a beginner in running as well, and he told me about the hour long runs he did....and all the stuff. He was faster, better conditioned....It took me a while to figure it out that my achievements werenīt rubbish just because someone else is doing better. You have to aknowledge were you came from.

    Flying Betty: Rollerblading is such a great exercise! Unfortunately I couldnīt do that myself: I am really, really untalented in rollerblading.

    Transformation: You have ambitious plans for this week and month!! And it sounds great!

    rochemist:Dancing at the airport? Even as people stare at you? You are really, really great!!
  • sunday complete with weights and cardio
  • Kate, you're so right... thanks, hon.

    I did some more ball-work last night.

    It's only September 4th, and we're all exercising!!
  • Bike and ball last night, and a 30 minute walk this morning.
  • Walked about 2 miles the previous day. Yesterday we cleaned all freaking day, and if anyone doesn't think cleaning is excercise can take a punch in the nose I scrubbed nasty tar off my blinds, after I let them soak, the water was black, here'd to quitting smoking Kate!

  • i'm still in! i've done my 30 minute workout every day. cleaned and walked and cleaned some more over the weekend!

    sounds like everyone is doing great keep it up!!
  • i'm a little concerned about getting my exercise in...school just started today and it looks to be a truckload of work. i got a bunch of textbooks dumped on me today and a few chapters of reading + notes.
    at least i still have my weekends. i also may be able to get out in the mornings, and run or bike or something, since i am leaving about half an hour later this year.

    everyone seems to be doing great this month! keep it up!
  • tuesday complete with 60 mins weights and 30 min cardio..
  • OMG what happened to everyone....its been 6 days since the last post...I hope everyone is still exercising...

    I finished last week with 4 days of workouts
  • I'm here, Donna!
    Good going, girl!!

    We joined the Y again last week, and yesterday I had a GREAT run on the treadmill... 15 minutes total running out of 30 minutes. And I did a little leg workout.
  • you go ellis!! great job!! i want to run some day, i am so jealous!!

    great week for you donna keep it up!!

    i'm sticking to my weight/circuit training with my sister. i'm feeling stronger already. i need to check in at the Y and see if they added back my early sat am water aerobics, i really miss going to that.

    have a good one chicks!!
  • great job ladies...

    jodi-- you will get there one day with the running...it just takes time to build up your strength

    ellis 15 mins is great...I've never tryed running on a treadmill..I always just run outside

    yesterday I did nothing...I was so tired that I came home and went to bed at 8:30...going to the gym tonight


    have a great day
  • Ok, I am back to my exercise plan after 10 messy days.
    Workout for today: Done
  • Kate, I'm glad you're back exercising! I hope things are no longer too... ummm... messy for you.

    Donna, I always ran outside, too, but I find running on the treadmill is easier on my joints at this weight.
    Did you make it to the gym the other night?

    How about you, Jodi-girl? Been back to the Y yet?

    I went on ummm... Wednesday, I think. Had a TERRIBLE workout. I only ran for 3- 3 minute intervals. I just couldn't get moving, you know? Anyhow, I did it.
    Today I had an excellent workout. Did some weights and I ran:
    8 minutes
    5 minutes
    3 minutes out of 30.
    My legs are still sore, so I took a couple of advil before I worked out. It helped a lot.
