Sunday and Monday, I was stuck in the house due to weather.  I did a 30 minute routine consisting of planks, girly push ups, crunches and upper body weights on both days.  I can't get my car out of the driveway today, but am borrowing a truck for a couple hours am going to the gym in a bit :)

Bike to gym where I did 20 mins run and 20 mins weights. I've gained 4 kilos since I stopped smoking on Jan. 9, and it feels very unpleasant when I run. My knee bothers me much more with this weight, too.

keep running and not smoking and you will be in the best physical shape of your life.  :) 

Make sure you wear proper running shoes...they are worth the investment and could help with the knees

So tried out a new trainer today ... Not sure how we are going to go as there wasn't a lot of cardio. - but will say I had a killer upper body and ab session !! Stay tuned to see how much I whinge tomorrow about how sore I am :-)

26 mins running, 20 mins weights, sun salutes, stretching.

 

I hit that bliss stage when I ran, where I know the endorphines will keep pumping for the rest of the day. Sooo sweet! Many hours later now, I still feel in bliss-land! I'm floating....makes me forget my sore muscles..... :)

Been killing it at the gym this week and working hard. Today, on the other hand, the only exercise I am getting is raising my wine glass ! :-)

- 30 minutes on the treadmill at 3.0 mph. I have only been able to do up to 2.5, but I really wanted to push myself today.

 

- 20 minutes on the exercise bike.

 

- 30 minutes of walking.

 

- 20 minutes strength training. 

 

- 25 minutes of aerobics.

 

- This is kind of embarrassing, but 4 minutes on the elliptical. It's a machine that really hurts me, so I have been trying to build up stamina every time I hit the gym.

I dont like the elliptical as it hurts my hips but I like the arc trainer at my gym it gives you a more natural movement I think it is an adaptive motion trainer type of machine

I don't know why I can't do the elliptical. My feet and legs always hurt too much for me to do long stretches on the machine. It might be because I have a lot of weight to lose still and the machine makes me put too much pressure on my ankles.

Sunday: leisure day. Walked to supermarket, back with heavy groceries in my backpack  Stretched, sun salutations, Sun salutations can be done as a fast flow and can be quite vigorous. 5 kilo dumbbells I have at home. That's it. 

 

Oh, this morning I woke up feeling all sorts of nicotine deep in my throat. Yesterday I ran in pretty cold weather and I think it may have affected my throat and lungs. 

 

I'm still several kilos over my preferred weight and it feels really uncomfortable. I think I'll start a thread about sugar tomorrow. I want to get back to eating almost zero sugar.

I did not want to go out in 3 degree weather and drive my butt over to class at 430 am on a Monday no. But I did. And I'm so glad I did.

 

Cardio workout done.

Good for you guys - I almost feel lazy in comparison - I only did a 4.5 mile run on Saturday after work - yesterday was just a relaxing day with the kids - I better step it up this week before I am left in the dust-  Today just a 3 mile run (just a warm up) Wednesday 4miles (another warm up) Saturday will be my first longer run as I am starting to train for a 1/2 marathon in November - so each month I am going to do at least 1 long run every week or 2 - Saturday's Goal is 6.5 Miles -

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
