I spent way too long chasing an energy-laden cricket around my apartment before shooing him out the door.

Lasiurus_cinereus · 04-18-2013, 10:49 PM

Very happy about my gym session today! I began going regularly to the gym in January (it was my new year's resolution) and I weighted myself today... lost 20 pounds since January! I was jumping all around the place and trained even harder!

always2late · 04-18-2013, 10:58 PM

Week two of my fitness challenge/bootcamp is almost over. I'm having a bit of trouble with one of my knees...so I've had to modify some of the workout. Ice and Advil are now my best friends. Lol

Rockinonahigh · 04-19-2013, 12:52 AM

Being in a pool hall has to count for something,I did do some indoor exersises today mostly stretches.On a real good note my ellipitical machine came by fedx today..it will be real fun puting it together.

always2late · 04-19-2013, 10:19 AM

I skipped my workout this morning. My knee is still swollen from yesterday's workout and, after debating with myself about it, I decided to rest, ice, elevate, and repeat today. I decided that I'd rather miss one day than risk an injury. But, the amazing thing is that I actually MISS the workout! If you had told me a month ago...or hell, even a week ago...that I would actually miss getting my butt whooped, pushing myself, being sore, etc... I would have suggested that you examine your mental health! Who knew?? Wow, what a difference a week can make!

cinnamongrrl · 04-19-2013, 10:45 AM

If cleaning counts, then I got a workout today..if not (and the personal trainer at my gym says it DOESN'T

) then I didn't. I should go to the gym later. It's amazing how good my back felt after doing some back work on the machines...

Venus007 · 04-21-2013, 09:56 AM

I took a long walk on the San Jacinto Monument trail, it goes through a marsh. It is mostly on a boardwalk elevated above the bog and the alligators. It was too windy for mosquitoes and it wasn't too hot. I was several pelicans dipping their mouths in and catching fish. I want to go back today with binoculars.

femmeInterrupted · 04-21-2013, 10:35 AM

I've walked 105km this month so far! Heading out today for another 8-10kms! Feeling really good being outside in the sunshine and wind after a long winter

Rockinonahigh · 04-21-2013, 04:51 PM

Sombody talk to me about ellipitical machines,I bought on recently so my son put it toghther yesterday,the pedals sit at a 45* degree angle in the back.Yes,I can do the exersise but feel like im gonna be on my nose if I dont watch it,I see people at the gym going fast on them but I doubt I will ever be running in place while on it...I guarentee its a good workout no matter how fast you go.I bought it so I could have something to burn calories with besides the exersise bike.Btw there is NO way to lower the back of the pedals to a more comfy position.

always2late · 04-26-2013, 11:31 PM

I am at the end of week three in my ten week challenge. Today, I am feeling absolutely thrilled about my progress! When I started, three short weeks ago, I had a hard time doing sit-ups. I could do crunches, but a full sit-up was beyond me. And I got winded very easily no matter what we were doing. Today, I was not only able to keep up with the sequences, I was able to do every type of sit-up, including the meditation sit-ups, keeping pace with the entire class without being winded at all!

Rockinonahigh · 04-26-2013, 11:40 PM

I have been on the low carb meal plan for about a week,I weighed today and have lost two pounds,not bad for a short ammount of time.My right shoulder is a problem so I am being very carefull with it,gonna see the doctor Tuesday to see what he thinks.I have had problems loseig weight for a while then I finaly got a primary doctr to really teka intrest in the fact I had all the symthoms of low hormones and thyroids,she checked and found I did have the problem I was thinking I had then put me on the right meds so now thinsg are starting to work like they should....yeah me.

04-27-2013, 05:51 AM

Approx 10miles in and around the towns roads whilst riding the Critical Mass ride.
M'hams and calves are little tight because I've not ridden a 10miler in a while (winter and health keeps rides shorter)
Another course of anti-bionics for continuing chest infection have worked and I only had to stop a couple of times because of the strong winds.
Feels good this morning though.

Ginger · 04-28-2013, 06:11 AM

I think I mentioned, I'm up to three sets of 15 reps on 13 stationary weight machines at the gym now, three times a week. My arms are feeling toned; I'm doing more upper body stuff than usual.

Yesterday I took a walk around the loop at Prospect Park. First I walked and jogged to the park; I just felt like it. It was gorgeous out.

Later, at home, I went down to the basement of my building for something and took the stairs back up to the 9th floor. I was surprised at how hard it was, considering how much I exercise. I think I'll start taking the stairs for a couple floors, then the elevator, and gradually add flights of stairs to the routine till it's not much effort.

Rockinonahigh · 04-28-2013, 05:35 PM

Afternoon everyone,it's a fine sunny sunday hear in Louisiana.This morning I managed a 45 minit workout between the basket ball court for a while then time on the bike for twenty minits at a crisp pace( odometer is busted so I don't info from it) then I went to the bowflex for a while then free weights after wards I walked t he yard picking up toys,sticks and what have you to cool down.Later this evening I played somemore b-ball then hit the dreded ellipitical.At first I couldnt do but about a half a minit,this thing is an ass kicker cause if youdon't engage the whole body to balance then actualy use the thing it can't be done..I don't think.So by now after a fue days I am able to go a full minit and a half four times today with onlythe breifest ammount of time betweek each go at it to catch my breath.My legs are the weakest part to deal with because of nerve damage from my back injury but ever how slowly I am geting longer rided at it,I even tryed a fue seconds of back pedaling...yeah right...ouch! Cary on ya'll tomorrow is monday.

Venus007 · 04-28-2013, 06:05 PM

I beat the crap out of all of my astoundingly dusty area rugs
It took longer than I thought it would and my upper back, chest and arms can feel it.

I went for a long walk around my neighborhood, the blast furnace of Texas summer is about to throw open its doors so I have to enjoy it while I can.

Mopsie · 04-30-2013, 07:14 PM

I joined Planet Fitness when they were having a sale. I've never been that great at exercising consistently ... I think I may have turned a corner! This is my third week going to the gym. Yay!

And I want to thank the anonymous woman on the machine in front of me at the gym -she's about my size and she was rockin it! She gave me motivation - I wanted to kick ass too! Woot!

puddin' · 04-30-2013, 09:17 PM

Hollylane · 04-30-2013, 09:36 PM

I wasn't able to exercise for the past two weeks, but today I started to get myself back on track. I walked 2 miles today.
