  • Yay Doughnut!! anything is better the nothing.

    Glad to see more people posting on here.

    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.
  • Great job on the exercise!

    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.

    Now its time for my nap.

    Happy weekend and thanks for this thread.
  • You guys have done great. congrats to those who have stayed on plan!!

    I went to the gym this morning and I feel great!! going to try to go this weekend but I am swamped with homework and Grandma is coming on Sat.

    I think that next week I can go to the gym a minimum of three times, I getting the hang of it.

  • I won't be doing any today for various reasons but I will tomorrow. I will. Honestly.
  • Ya, I'm with ya Doughnut. My mother in law is coming and the house is a mess. I will be cleaning all day, I guess I could count that!

    Dana
  • 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'll let you know how it goes!! HAHAHA
  • 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!
  • Ilene,

    I love the way that track your exercise :


    I'm going to keep track of it this way:

    Running: 0/3
    Biking: 1/7
    Gym: 1/4
    Swimming: 0/2


    I'm going to copy this idea for next week's exercise .

    BTW, did it all go to plan?
  • I think I only walked five times and only once or twice was there any sort of jogging involved. And I only had one good lifting session.

    Here's to a new week http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/show...89#post1673089
