walked 10 miles today!!
it was just a beautiful day that I couldn't pass it up.
When I got home I rested for a few hours then did my zumba

loriherdz- 10 miles, You go girl

I decided to take the day off today because I woke up with some pains I will workout tomorrow even if it is just walking because I will not quit.

Just got done with week one of C25k. Today was much easier than the last time I did it. Tomorrow weight lifting.

I haven't checked in because I was out of town the first of the week on a business trip. I did get in the hotel's hot tub one night and do some leg stretching and 100 modified stomach crunchies. I had a doc's appointment 1 1/2 hours away yesterday so I didn't make it to the pool last night either. They have weird hours during the winter. I do plan to get up and go in the morning. I really feel the need to stretch and get moving again. Being couped up in the truck for over 6 hours 2 out of 3 days gives one the need stretch in a big way. I have planted veggie plants we picked up in the vertical gardening system getting ready for the upcoming farmer's market season.

Hi! New around these parts. I'm thinking about going hiking in the snow by the Mississippi today (I'm in Minnesota). My bed is so much warmer and comfortable...
Well, time to get my butt in gear! Good Luck today!

om namah shivaya- Welcome, I know where your coming from when you say "My bed is so much warmer and comfortable" because I am from Mn also. I am more north of you and it is so cold outside and the snow never seems to end Hiking in the snow sounds like fun and great views if you can see the Mississippi at the same time.

Weight lifting and treadmill done for the day

Yes! All it takes is proper attire! Minnesota has hardcore seasons all around! I will admit that I AM excited for the heat.... especially to slip into some shorts and tank top (well, maybe t-shirt, depends on how the next month or two go...) and run my little heart out again!

Today I only walked 30 minutes on the treadmill. I have been having some pain issues and starting to think it is from jogging. So I am taking a week off from jogging to see if the pain subsides otherwise time to see a dr.

Hmm, sorry to hear about your pain , running can be really hard on the body. I ran three miles today (YAY!) but my hips at the end were definitely feeling the stress. I could have kept going but I didn't want to completely kill my hips so I stopped. A short run tomorrow followed by a longer one the next day. Plus my home ab workouts! Really REALLY trying to get below 150 in the next week!! GRRR!!!!

Emma- personal trainers aren't too scary.... RDC's the people who yell at you in military basic training ... Now THEY can be scary lol

So I met with my personal trainer Friday and then walked a 5k with my boyfriend. I was sore before I even started. Last night I could barely move, today is better but dang it if I don't have another session tomorrow with my trainer! Ugh lol I love going so I hope I'm feeling even better tomorrow.
Om namah- it must be awesome to run that far. I've got bad feet but keep hoping one day I will be able to. Hope you hit your next goal soon!

Mondays are my day off

Hey ladies!

I actually tried doing Insanity today and I nearly passed out lol
I happily went back to my Zumba

btw I check the scale Sunday and I WENT DOWN 2 MORE LBS!!! Woot Woot!

Skinnygirldreams- To me a personal trainer would be scary mostly because they would try to push me further than I think I am capable of. Maybe someday I will break down and see one.

loriherdz- Down 2 more pounds What you are doing is working great for you. The weight just keeps on melting off

This morning I did my weight lifting, upper body only, treadmill and took the dog for a walk already. Feels like it's going to be a great day!

It is possible that they may push you. Mine is really understanding and modifies to accommodate the fact that I am a walking disaster lol (I have bad feet and I hurt my back in July) I have enjoyed my work outs she makes them tough but I can already feel a difference. I love it!
