Cathie in UT · 10-23-2011, 07:36 PM

Sorry I was away for so long!
Life kind of went like that for me LOL
Last week I mostly did OK
MON. walked the dog aprox 1 hr, Tues OFF

Wed. walked the track and some Elliptical aprox 50 min Thurs Zumba 50 min Friday dog walking again aprox 1hr. Sat and Today off.
I really need to add at least one more day of something but it just seems like everything else wants to take my time! LOL
Hope all had a good weekend and start on Monday with a workout or walk of some sort.

SherriS. · 10-24-2011, 04:41 PM

OK, I'm back! Walked my first mile in 15:13 (so close to a 15 minute mile) and walked my 30 minutes for 1.79. My thighs feel like they are on fire

Wow Cathie you had a great week!

Cathie in UT · 10-24-2011, 04:45 PM

Thanks Sheri
I have been at it about a month or so now so my "workouts" are pretty set
Congrats on the 2 miles...I walk for time for now but I should figure out how far it is shouldn't I?

nikki · 10-24-2011, 05:05 PM

I'm in! Today I walked the dog for an hour.

Cathie in UT · 10-26-2011, 07:04 AM

yesterday Belle and I walked! Hurrah, usually Tues is an off day because of commitments most of the day but I decided I would try and fit it in and it worked.
45 min walking the dog

Cathie in UT · 10-26-2011, 02:37 PM

Wednesday workout was 25 min elliptical and 30 min track
Anyone else?

SherriS. · 10-26-2011, 03:44 PM

Awesome ladies! I always find it strange that the elliptical is really tough for me to do even for a few minutes!

I walked last night for 27 minutes. Hoping to do it again...but crazy here.

Jeanie & Leisha - y'all doing ok?

jeaniem · 10-26-2011, 04:34 PM

Hi Sherri! Been off track the last couple of days but plan to wake up early tomorrow and get back at it.

jeaniem · 10-27-2011, 04:54 PM

20 mins lower body toning

Cathie in UT · 10-28-2011, 10:47 AM

yesterday (thurs) was Zumba Day even got to do a dance to Thriller! So much fun and who cares how silly I look!

Already walked Belle for aprox 1 hr today.
Sherri I like the elliptical to replace running, which I hate. I keep the resistance low and the incline low and just go for time.

DimSumKitty · 10-28-2011, 11:08 AM

My new exercise goal is to just do something (usually some Callanetics or a walk) every day. No more stressing about a monthly goal, it ends up making me feel bad if I miss it and work seems out of control right now (sucking up all my time). I just do something, some exercise, every day!

Cathie in UT · 10-28-2011, 07:08 PM

Great goal Kitty and good luck

Thank you, Cathie! Today did a bit of yoga and Callanetics and had a tiny walk. Smiles and good wishes to you

jeaniem · 10-29-2011, 07:55 AM

Hi everyone!

Friday - UB Weights
Sat- 1.5 mile walk & whole body toning

SherriS. · 10-31-2011, 12:53 PM

I'm gonna have to take a break from this site for at least a month or more. I just found out today that we are going to have to move and as you can imagine there's a lot to do.

When I come back I look forward to "seeing" all of you again!

jeaniem · 10-31-2011, 03:17 PM

Best wishes Sherri. Come back when you can.

Cathie in UT · 11-01-2011, 03:42 PM

Monday walked Belle aprox 1 hr
and Sherri good luck with your move I know it can be a very stressful time and hard to stay on plan so sending prayers and good wishes to you

leisha · 11-01-2011, 06:20 PM

Good luck with your move Sherri!!! I actually walked almost a mile today and picked up the pecans on the ground! First thing I've done in a few days! ....quite a few days.....

Cathie in UT · 11-01-2011, 08:38 PM

Did some light weights during Biggest Looser tonight now I will see if my shoulder has problems as that is why I stopped doing weights
Yum leisha...fresh pecans sound so good!

Cathie in UT · 11-02-2011, 10:22 AM

aprox 30 min on the track brisk walking and 30 min on the elliptical today
Didn't like the one I had to use at my Fitness Center it was messing with my knees

Today the shoulder is OK after I took some Bayer Back and Body early this morning LOL

Cathie in UT · 11-03-2011, 11:00 AM

Thursday my usual Zumba class...no Thriller this time but plenty of hip shaking! LOL

SherriS. · 11-03-2011, 02:01 PM

I feel like a bad penny! Thanks for all of your good wishes which I will save for a later day. My husband called me at lunch and shared the good word that he has WORK thru the end of December < whew >.

I didn't share earlier but we were gonna have to move into my in-laws until things got better for us! Now I had to share my miracle with y'all. I love my in-laws but really don't want to be room mates

I took the weekend off due to stress and TOM -- but I walked 30 minutes Tuesday and Wednesday.

jeaniem · 11-03-2011, 05:17 PM

Glad things are better Sherri.

I have been lazy the last couple of days but got in a nice whole body weights workout today.

Cathie in UT · 11-04-2011, 08:10 PM

Sherri great news for you and your DH about his job. Everyday can make a difference.
Dog walking again today but it really should have been earlier but I had a bit of a sleep in! aprox 50 min (I think I am getting faster LOL)

leisha · 11-06-2011, 05:52 PM

Sherri...so happy for your miracle!

I picked up another big bucket of pecans today! I'm so happy we have so many this year! Cathie...I wish I could send you some through this computer! I just walked forever around Wal-Mart too. That's all I can report for the entire weekend. Now the time has changed here and it will be dark before I get home from work. This is when I either have to get out the Walking Away the Pounds cd's or start walking during my lunch time. I'm glad I just typed that...I'm going to put my shoes in the car right now for tomorrow!

Keep up the good work girls!
Leisha

Cathie in UT · 11-06-2011, 08:42 PM

Thanks for thinking of me and the pecans LOL
I walked around Wally world on Sat if that counts. DS said I was gone forever
Hope it warms up tomorrow as we are in a cold phase right now...

Cathie in UT · 11-07-2011, 02:38 PM

Dog walking this morning and there were snow flakes floating around us as we walked. Luckily the sun has broken through for the rest of the day.
About 1 hour

SherriS. · 11-07-2011, 03:23 PM

Oh Cathie it seems so early for snow!

I took a few days off for a mental vacation. Walked for 30 mins today, will try to up it to 35 by the end of the week.

Good news - I dropped 2 inches from last month!

jeaniem · 11-07-2011, 04:52 PM

Congrats on the 2 inches lost Sherri!

Lower body toning- 20 mins

jeaniem · 11-08-2011, 05:54 PM
