I saw an infomercial for '3 Week Yoga' hosted by Leeza Gibbons and produced by Beachbody while we were doing laundry this morning. Has anyone used this program? Did you like it? Was it worth it...financially...in results?

I was not in the mood to go to the gym today but I went anyway, and I think it went pretty well. I did my usual: 30 minutes on the stairmaster, then 30 minutes of floor exercises and weightlifting and stretching.
No Judith sighting.

I was sooo not in the mood for the gym after work but I went, and it ended up being a good workout. I did the stairmaster for 45 minutes and then stretched and did ab exercises for 15.
On the stairmaster I watched Intersexion- about Intersex individuals, and it was a highly informative and engaging documentary. I watched it on Amazon Prime.

Today I worked on exercises from the bicycle and arm machine, and spent nearly one minute, shadowed by two therapists, on the elliptical machine.
I've not done a whole lot of walking today, but managed to do simple small trips going up and down three flights of stairs. I also accomplished a few hard to do stretches, aided by three staff therapists. After compression massage, I am basically a big bowl of jello....but each time I go to physical therapy, I tolerate increased models of therapy, so I'm making progress, even if it's in small increments.

I went to the gym this evening. And who else was there at 7:30 pm? Judith.
I did 35 minutes on the stairmaster and 25 minutes of weight lifting. I watched a short doc on Amazon called "Paul wears dresses." It was good. Now I'm watching this doc about a couple married 45 years called Phyllis and Harold on Amazon Prime, and it's barely holding my interest but I'm trying to stick it out.

Caught a great online sale on a more robust chainsaw ... stronger and longer than what I have ... seriously, normally $179.99 marked down to $99.00 ... no one could pass this up!
Anyway, paid for it online, then went and picked it up. My exercise experience today? Cutting down pine trees, dragging to front via tow strap using my truck's 4 wheel drive, cutting into smaller sections way down near the road ... haul away later. I am tired of hauling pine straw, pine cones, wet mulchy pine stuff and tired of seeing those slithering things that hide in it. There are plenty non-pine trees on my property. |

I’ll be getting plenty of exercise running around work short staffed for 16 hrs today and 16 hrs tomorrow! I’m going to try my best to get back to walking next week. Even if only for 15 minutes a day. I have a Pilates bar with rubber tubing on it so I might just do some calisthenics type exercises as well. I have to do something because my weight is affecting my joints bad.

Over the past three days, I've have several errands I had to do on my own. What it means is that I have to catch a train or bus on my own, to get my personal errands accomplished, outside my medical appointments. What I'd like to do is get my phone set up to measure my walking distances or maybe get a fitbit wrist band? Just so I can track how many steps I'm getting in, on these personal errands.
I'm guessing I walked about three to four hours each day. It takes an lot of energy to walk, so anytime I have to go places on my own, I count it toward my goal of walking, even though it's not like anyone else might walk. But it counts, in good ways, toward my personal mobility recovery. Maybe later on after a few months of my physical therapy I will be able to resume pool therapy again. But for now, it's one step at a time. My reward for all the extra walking I did over the past three days is to rest for the next two days, so I'm looking forward to two gentle take care of me days.

Today I did 50 minutes on the stairmaster, intervals level 1-5 and then 10 minutes stretching. I went back to watching Phyllis and Harold, the documentary on Amazon Prime about a marriage, and whaddayaknow, it suddenly picked up speed and got interesting! Glad I watched it!

On Monday -my goodness it feels so far away!- I walked for 15 minutes in the school building I work in during my lunch time. Go nycfem!

Yay, nycfem! All the steps we take, helps, I think!
Today my favorite taxi driver showed up by surprise to take me to PT (physical therapy). It was a 'lather, rinse, repeat' of guided therapy sessions. I plan to get out tomorrow for short brief periods of walking. GayandGray, how are you doing??? Gemme, how about you? Any other people managing to get a bit of extra exercise worked in during the days ahead?

Yesterday, I spent about 3 hours in my storage unit, organizing and restacking totes and breaking down and recycling boxes. It's much better now and I had an extended period of moving with intention so it's a win-win for sure.

Hi Ladies and Butches,
Well, it's my first time posting on this thread...and truth be told I am/was feeling a bit...yes, not easy for an introvert. Ok, here goes...today I began training on an indoor track, not my favorite but necessary for now...no snakes, or bushes that bite...smiling. I have been jogging/running 4 mi, but today my body went for my old familiar 7 mi...and yes it felt great...seems my ankle injury is healed. Ok, that's it. Thanks for the "encourager" she knows who she is. Greco

Last Monday I walked for half an hour during lunch inside the big 5-high schools campus that I work inside. It's a great place to walk- maybe not peaceful, but certainly spacious.
Yesterday I walked from 97th St. to 34th St. That was 13,000 steps. I counted that as 1 hr and 45 minutes but it was longer, with stopping to look around and take photos and all that. The reason I walked there was because I had bought a jacket where they had not taken off the tag with the alarm inside. So it was a walk with a purpose, a destination walk, something I enjoy. Today I did 30 minutes on the stairmaster. It felt really good. The gym was closing at 2 because it is Christmas. Judith was asleep in the locker room on a bench. I told the worker in the locker room, "Please don't forget to wake Judith before you lock up," and she nodded in agreement.

When I arrived today at the gym locker room, Judith was sitting inside having brunch. When I left, she was chatting with another gym member. It's quite curious how much time she spends at the gym just in the locker room.
Today I went to my usual row of stairmasters and they'd been replaced with matrix "stair masters". I was intimidated but I went for it anyway. I had such a hard time. I couldn't get it to pause, couldn't figure out how to turn off the t.v. on it, couldn't figure out how to speed it up. I ended up getting off, going in a corner by the window, and shedding a few tears. I felt like I wished I was the type that could just quickly figure out machines but I'm really not. Also, I missed my old stairmaster. I went back and got back on again and eked out 15 minutes before I just decided to move on. I still did not have it figured out, and it didn't feel right. Then I found two old stairmasters somewhere else and used one for 30 minutes. Probably it is only a short time before they get rid of all the old stairmasters. Technology marches on. I don't take to new technology easily. I still read paper books.

I did not do anything physical today. I was back at work and happy to be there. I could barely move.
I almost worked myself silly from Friday through last night felling pine trees, dragging them down to the road with a towrope hooked to the truck. Had a little incident that freaked my calm but it turned out okay. I sat on my left butt cheek all day long at work. I stepped in a hole, fell backwards yesterday ... was able to push the chainsaw away from me and hit the stop button. But had a tree felling wedge in my right back pocket. Right cheek received a good brusing! Bumped my head on a tree too but not much to that. I just lay there and laughed out loud. |

2017's coming to an end so it's back to the gym I go. DC will likely get a membership too. We're both going to work on getting back to Our pre-coupled bodies and maybe a little more off the top. In terms of resolutions, which I will post in the appropriate thread, I'm going to do a 44 by 44 plan. There are 151 days from January 1st to my birthday. That is 21.5 weeks or a teensy bit more than 2 pounds a week. It's feasible. I just have to get up off of my duff to do so. But not today. <--lazy bones |
