The Dr. that I scrub for, rides and we were talking about bikes one day. i mentioned that I was going to start looking for bike. What the hell ya know! He and my BFF went in and got me one for my Bday!! It is not the bike I would have chosen, but I really love it.

Cool @ riding bikes years ago. I use to ride when I was in my teens, but that was my transportation around town LOL! I wish I would have kept up with it over the years. That is AWESOME that the Dr and your BFF went in together for your birthday! Glad you like the bike!

I hazzz muscle. You have to poke really hard to feel it through the fat, but it's there.

I may or may not have done that a few times (haha)...You learn rather quickly especially when you bottom out!

LOL@ hazzz muscle! Good Job at keeping it up!

Not bad I think for my first real ride.

Good for you, Cowboi!

Organic and I started back working out today. Both os us pushed ourselves just a tad more than we should have but I think we're going to like this new place just fine.

I just finished three one hour yoga classes in a 24 hour period and I'm kind of ouchie.

I signed up for the Body Fit Challenge at my gym. It starts October 9th. I'm kind of scared because I'm pretty sure they're going to hand me my ass. And then laugh.

ALSO I'm signed up for a 5k October 9th AND a 5k trail run/obstacle course/mud run on Halloween.

Help?

Death wish or just a glutton for punishment?

Good luck and have fun on your run/walks!

I love 'em.

In a blender:

1 cup of uncooked oatmeal
1 cup of egg whites
1 cup of low fat cottage cheese
1 apple sliced thin and softened in butter

Drain off butter and add:
3 scoops of vanilla flavored protein (I use Gold Standard whey)
3 caps of vanilla extract
enough fat free milk to smooth batter

Cook in non stick pan until done on both sides.
Serve with low fat syrup, fruit or low fat whipped cream

Jet · 09-15-2010, 11:56 AM

So I have been totally naughty since last Thursday. In between company and birthdays, I hadn't been to the gym until today, and had eaten waaaaay more carbs than I should. So finally I get back to the gym today.

I walked longer than usual since my shins and calfs weren't hurting, was able to go up on all my weights except my arms (they're punny like that), AND had actually lost another 2 pounds! Not that the weight is that big a deal...but actually last Tuesday I was able to fit into an outfit I hadn't worn since last year that is a size smaller. Woo Hoo!!!!!

So folks. Don't give up. Even if you take a break, or fall off the wagon. Keep at it. And muscle really does keep working even when you don't.

And Jet - Thanks for the pancake recipe. Can't wait to try it!

Rockinonahigh · 09-16-2010, 08:46 PM

Have you tried a glucosamine/condroitin (sp?) supplement? It will take a bit to get into your system good, it's not an instant fix. But I use it, and I give my dog the doggy version, and both of our joints are much happier for it.

Fwi, fish oil, turmeric, and glutamine keep my joints happy. All 3 offer benefits beyond anti-inflammatory too.

Have you tried yoga? I take it through my gym & they offer various classes, including gentle yoga. Make sure to talk to the instructor beforehand to explain the problems you're having. The instructor should explain modifications to the poses and may also concentrate on poses that will most assist your problems.

Yoga helps your body learn the proper ways to moves, as well as strengthening the support structures for your joints so that they start taking on more of the work.

I hear Tai Chi is good for joints, as well, but I haven't tried it, yet.

Good luck!

Welp got back into the running after a few days at a client's. And K and I are returning back to a vegan lifestyle this week. I actually splurged on a Vitamix 5200 (I always think of Lucille Ball's skit on vitavegametin. LOL). Anyways I should be able to make fresher juices and better mixed smoothies. And get my diet closer to a raw vegan diet. Later today or tomorrow I'm going to put my bikes together and clean up the beater bike to use next week to bike to and from the facility I'll be teaching at (30 min ride based on Google maps).

And once I start unpacking I should (hopefully?) find my P90X DVDs and I can start doing that. I did get some pushup aids as well as some power blocks. So it's all coming together.
