It seemed like having this thread to look to helped keep me going with the exercise. I thought I would post another week of it and see if it helped anyone else.



My goal for this week is to workout at least 4 times this week and to make one of those workouts one of my new "The Firm" weight training workouts.

Up and accounted for!!! had a hard time getting there, and getting started no air!! I must go earlier as it was way to hott to get going. but i did a good leg work out and added 200 crunches in it. did only 10 min warmup and cool down.

my goal is 6 times this week

I still want to walk 30 brisk minutes (I can't stand to stroll!) every other day this week. If I can make it to the end of the week without any foot injuries, I will claim myself tendonitis free and up my quota next week.

This weekly list is great!

Well I did the eliptical yesterday for 10 WHOLE MINUTES...which is a miracle for me, and thats no joking

Hope I can repeat it again tonight

This is a great thread, thanks Annie.

Well, I gardened (heavy stuff) for two whole hours yesterday so that has to count. Also did a 2K walk with Lucy after dinner last night.

Alright!! There are 5 of us already!! Great start for the week!

Monday--Did 2 Mile Walk Away Tape 35 minutes.

Tuesday--Did the 3 Mile Walk Away Tape!!! 48 minutes. Faster pace and LOTS more weight use!! I can FEEL it!

Keep up the good work everybody!!

Monday, I was too tired, today I over slept, wonder what my excuse will be for tomorrow?

Seriously though, I did ride my exercise bike for 30 minutes. I may go down to my son's after I get home from work and do water aerobics in his pool. But I definately will get up and get to the club tomorrow. I only have 30 days until my surgery and I want to be in the best condition possible so that the surgery will go well.

Leens, I have a question about your eliptical trainer. Is it loud and (ok there were two!) does it take up much space? I am looking for something not so loud and not so big to try and sneak into the living room. (yeah right) I need variety! A view and some MTV would be a nice change.

Ruth, 2 hours gardening and 2k is great! Wow, I dunno why I am asking about eliptical trainers when I SHOULD be outside walking and exercising in this great weather.

Jennifer I like doing the exercise insede better as i can get more focused. I do mine at the local Y

additin for my exercise. I just finished 7 hours of unsuccessful plumbng but i sure worked up several sweats!!!

DH was out of town til yesterday soooo no exercise for me, could not get to the Y...today is a new day however....

Wednesday-treadmill 30 minutes

Isn't it great that we get a new day every morning?

I gardened in the heat for two hours yesterday and will be doing the same shortly. This has to count, right? I am planning on joining the 7 p.m. village walkers (new group) for a 3K walk IF we don't get a storm as predicted. Hershey needs it and so do I.

Amen Ruth! Thank goodness for those fresh starts every day.

I got in my 3 mile walk away tape again this morning. It loosened up the muscles and joints from yesterday's workout.

One day at time right?????

It was raining when I left work yesterday, so I didn't stop by my son's pool. I did make it to the club this morning, even though I was late, but I did get in one day.

Oh Whoah's Me !!

I haven't been doing anything the past few days, just cleaning when I get home at night. Guess its better than nuthin. My eating has been bad the past 2 days too.....back to the drawing board

I'm going to patent the mouth zipper with locks.

Love, Leens
