[Tallulah]

Did a 3-mile walk tonight!

 

[INTJMom]

I did my exercise program this morning!

 

[Laurie]

^Yay!

I did my workout this morning. My 4 year old is doing the target workouts with me every morning. It's hilarious, she never gets any of them quite right.

 

[EffEmDoubleyou]

Got back on the horse this week and lost 1 pound for a total of 9 during the challenge. I think I should have counted Saturday for like THREE workouts. I did a citywide scavenger hunt/Amazing Race type game, and I was running all day.

Improper technique, eh? Don't tell me your 4 year old is going to have to use some cheats!

Sounds adorable. Don't tell anyone I said that, k?

[DiscoBiscuit]

I think my body is settling into the training groove.

You just kind of hit your stride with these things.

 

[kyuuei]

Ran two miles, did arm work, and ab work in gym class today.

I haven't posted in a while, but I'm essentially out. Since I closed up my windows for the winter I just can't muster the energy for a proper workout, and I also wake up tired in the mornings.

I'm pretty sure that it's allergies to dust or cat dander. Having my windows open allowed for rapid air exchange for my smallish apartment, but having them closed keeps all that in a small area. I have a doctor's appointment to see what my options are. I may try offsetting with medication, or look into a high quality air purifier.

10/15 was the last time I posted here I think so between then and yesterday I have not done my exercise goals.

I did make the goals today,lol.

I am sooo bad!!!!!!!!!!!

1 million cheats for me I am afraid.

I have decided to switch from night exercises to morning- hubby and I tend to get into treadmill wars and so it is too hard for me to do 1 hr on it and him do his 30 minutes and then have time to spend together. I have been putting time together first. I have been doing 30 minutes on treadmill and situps but not both 5 days a week and not the 1 hr on treadmill like I wanted and made goal.

Hubby has recently gotten back into going on the treadmill every other day basically- he fell out of it for a while and just did push ups and sit ups.

I am needing to learn how to refocus and replan my day now that I have more things I am juggling.

You could always do something together that constitutes exercise.

 

[Laurie]

I did my target training and my biking today.

 

[kyuuei]

Aerobics class was a lecture, and commando krav maga was lecture oriented. No working out, just technique focus. So even though I didn't do much exercise wise, I Did go to the classes I think I'll make up for it with a DVD session tonight.

Wink wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean, say no more, say no more,lol.

 

[Domino]

I haven't posted in a while here, though I'm working out almost every day anyway. Thanks to my new medication, my body pain has dropped to the point where I can really push myself without harrowing effects.

Yesterday, I did time on the exercise bike, walked 30 minutes, did (100) leg lifts, plus vertical push-ups, leg/calf raises, vertical crunches, and weights.

I'm really going to try for that bikini body, y'all! I've set my sights on next spring/summer, and I'll be buying (and wearing) my first bikini since I was 20. *shudders*

 

[Haphazard]

Did weights, instead of just doing what the teacher said I focused on exercises that I knew wouldn't raise my heart rates with the massive number of reps required, so, mostly weight lifting. Also, walked to school.

Also eating carob chips every day for insulin management, but I have no idea how much I have to eat or how long I need to eat for me to see results so I'm really just guessing :/
