Daily exercise log for everyone :)

[Pippa]

Did a small group class at lunchtime - bike intervals interspersed with tabata body weight exercises ( think 20'seconds on 10'secomds rest x 4 lots of torture ) ... crawled back to work after

[Becca]

[Still winning]

[Leanna]

Does laundry count? I've been hauling big bags of laundry around all day.

[Still winning]

totally housework kills me too lol.

 

Added a power walk and some exercise bike in (to combat food intake, shhhh).

[Gemzee]

Day 3 level 3 of RI30. My legs hurt! Can't seem to get back to healthy eating...least I'm exercising I guess! :p

[Leanna]

Going to the gym tomorrow bright and early... gulp.

 

Hopefully before the meatheads!

[Gemzee]

Day 3 level 3 RI30. I've not been very healthy with my food choices (and overate) lately....put on 2 lbs (serves me right!!).

[Pippa]

Because of some other commitments - had 2 days in a row with my trainer - doing running, kick boxing and some killer weights - today was just gentle walking - all I could manage !!

[Nicole Diver]

Jill's 'Shed and shread' again.

Bless her heart =/

[Pippa]

Went jogging- still not fast but getting consistent with it - which is amazing for me when it comes to jogging / running !

[Gemzee]

Day 4 of level 3 RI30.....followed by a pub lunch and drinks! Oops.

[beacon]

I have been slacking in favor of work hours and worrying in my free time! Today I rode my bike about 14 miles

[Colleen]

Last night, weights for 20 min and running 20 min at gym # 1.

Today, weights for 45 minutes and spin for 45 minutes.  I think I want to go running again though.

[Frezflops]

I ran 6.55 miles today.....I was thinking about the difference in my running from last year to this year I ran faster last year not a lot faster but a 9/10 minute mile this year I am running 11/12 minute mile BUT last year I stopped every mile to "catch my breath" and only ran 3/4 miles on average. This year I run 6.5 miles on average and I run for 3 miles before I stop to pee/take a breath etc..... then I run the rest of the way with the exception of the last 0,5 mile where I walk/run the last bit home......maybe I am being to hard on myself I am going further and being more consistent but am slower I dont know I would think that is better? 

[beacon]

I recommit to my goal of exercise and healthy eating.

 

 

Today I walked with some jogging 4.25 miles

[Pippa]

The last couple of days did my form of jogging ( read old lady shuffle !). Today some fool agreed to a double session with her trainer ( for fool read Pippa !). - so just had a killer session with running ( I mean real running) kick boxing and killer weights .. It is only Monday here and I already want a wine !

[Leanna]

60 minutes at the gym. Did cardio and strength training!

 

Zumba or Just Dance tonight and some stretching. My body's really tight and sore. 

[beacon]

Today, chest, back, shoulders, calf. 30 minutes cardio

[Chrysalis]

I quit smoking at the end of March and starting shortly after that, I started to exercise. I gradually increased my exercise to 30 minutes a day 6 days a week and in recent months I have begun to notice an increase in strength and endurance. During that time, I also decided to improve my nutrition and started to make home-cooked meals that were delicious and nutritious without being fattening. I was doing pretty good with that, too, and actually losing a little of the weight I gained when I quit smoking.

 

Then my mother's condition deteriorated and I had to attend to her medical concerns and all my self-care activities went out the window for a couple or weeks. No exercise, sloppy diet, regained weight, etc. A-a-r-r-g-g-h-h!! That is so FRUSTRATING!!! Why does it take so long to improve our health but we can lose all our victories overnight. I don't get it!  :angry:

 

Anyway, the good news is that now that my mother is on the mend and I am home again, I am trying once again to get my diet and nutrition back where I want them to be. To that end, today I signed up at our local animal shelter to walk dogs for 1 hour 3 times a week. I love dogs but my husband is allergic to them so we can't own one. Walking these shelter dogs will be fun and good exercise for me and for the dogs. I also take the opportunity to do little training exercises with them (like how to walk on a leash without pulling the person's arm off or how to remain calm when another dog walker passes us) so that they will have a better chance of being adopted. We also had a delicious and nutritious dinner tonight (osso bucco--yum!). 

 

So having sucked my thumb and felt sorry for myself about the back-sliding, I am now pulling myself back together and trying again. It really IS hard to make these healthful changes a real, immutable part of a  new healthier lifestyle, isn't it? But I'm trying, folks, that I am.

[Nicole Diver]

chrysalis, Rome was not built in a day. You have a lot on your plate, and you are doing just fantastic.

I like to say I'm 'a work in progress.'

Will we ever get exactly where we want to be? I'm not sure.

[Gemzee]
