biglosser · 09-12-2008, 03:25 AM

Good morning everyone!
So who's working out today?

I'm taking another day off.

Have a good workout and burn those pounds off.

Vikki

porusgal · 09-12-2008, 03:34 AM

I have a body pump weights class scheduled for today. I start working with a personal trainer next week. Yeah!!!!

mamagiff · 09-12-2008, 04:39 AM

We're at a hotel for the next few days and I'll be using the pool as well as doing my kettlebell workout in the room. I checked out the fitness room here and the equipment that I need to use doesn't work so I'm glad I brought the kettlebell! I'll get a better workout with it!

LCCupcake · 09-12-2008, 05:33 AM

Just back from a 4 mile run.

The last half in the rain! Since it was 70 degrees and not the mid 40's like earlier in the week the relief was welcome!

Great job everybody!

gharkness · 09-12-2008, 05:54 AM

About four miles around the track this morning. One day a week I normally have a caffeine-fueled workout and today was the day! Great workout!

Tiffany2288 · 09-12-2008, 05:54 AM

Heading to the gym after work for a 3-4 mile run...then off to my 2nd job of bartending (on my feet from 7pm-4am) so that counts as some cardio too!

sugarless4life · 09-12-2008, 06:31 AM

Abs, core work on the stability ball and arms (weights) on tap for today, AND a ONE MILE walk !

Bound and determined to make it !

Betty

Shimmer · 09-12-2008, 06:48 AM

I just finished an upper body workout.

skeeweeaka · 09-12-2008, 07:00 AM

I will be doing Pilates today, day 3....beginning... I can't believe my stomach already looks smaller, or perhaps I am dreaming lol...

JenGator · 09-12-2008, 09:42 AM

I did my 2.5 mile walk today - I really wanted to quit after the first circle (I live on a circle that is just over 1.2 miles, and walk two laps) but made myself walk the 2nd!

I just let myself slow down a little bit, since I am still getting used to all this exercise and have been pretty sore.

dae_tona · 09-12-2008, 09:44 AM

40 minutes of the BFL weight training...

Kris T. · 09-12-2008, 11:04 AM

GOOD JOB ALL!

I have a hellish day today..I only was able to get a 20-min run in..

gotta go!

scrappychik · 09-12-2008, 01:17 PM

1 hour of Wii Fit

tybeeanna · 09-12-2008, 01:40 PM

1 mile
16 min on elip
25 min weights

FloridaShell · 09-12-2008, 01:46 PM

Well, TOM finally caught up with me & is

my butt!!

But if I feel like it I'll do some free weights or something. I feel like a loser when I don't get some form of exercise in

cabogirl · 09-12-2008, 02:40 PM

10 min warm up on elliptical - lower body weight workout - ab workout and then hour spin class.....I'm ready for a nap!

sugarless4life · 09-12-2008, 02:52 PM

WOW! You guys are all so inspiring !!!

I love to read "I wanted to quit, but I didn't!" That rawks !

Betty

biglosser · 09-12-2008, 04:13 PM

Great job everyone!

Its raining here today and very muggy out.

Vikki

Houston Heather · 09-12-2008, 04:42 PM

Housecleaning and lugging 5 gallon buckets of water. Good workout.

Thanks to the weights, it isn't difficult at all. It would kill DH right now.

sugarless4life · 09-12-2008, 04:44 PM

O M G, why did I think that September would be cooler than August here in Tampa?

I just got done walking 1+ miles with DH. I sweat like a pig. I think its gonna take time for me to readjust to the HEAT!

I wanted to try and run SO BAD, but DH threatened great bodily harm ... dang him.

Betty

amiga74 · 09-12-2008, 04:47 PM

you will get there Betty!

i had an easier day, 35 min on the elliptical, 20 on the stairmaster. almost back to running, but not quite. maybe tomorrow.

Naz · 09-12-2008, 04:59 PM

I did Couch25K Week 4, Day 3, but was not feeling so great today, and didn't do the last 5 min run. Still! I can run 100% more than I could in April.

Goldenrod · 09-12-2008, 05:05 PM

Pretty intense lower body workout this morning. (Going up and down stairs is now semi-painful, but it's for a good cause!) It would be really nice if one day my thighs didn't rub together and I could wear a skirt without worrying about chafing!

Tomorrow will technically be a day off, but I'll go for a long powerwalk and have some active recovery.

Betty -- you go girl!! A mile already!

Just be careful not to overdo it!

sugarless4life · 09-12-2008, 05:24 PM

Thanks, sweetie! Yeah, you guys *know* how I am .. always wanting to push harder...farther ... Its really a DRAG having to take things SLOW ... but I gotta do what I gotta do, right?

Thanks so much for all your encouragement! Believe me, IT MEANS THE WORLD !

Goldenrod, have you seen the running skirts/skorts by C9 at Target? They have little bike shorties attached, so no chafing. Love them!!

biglosser · 09-12-2008, 06:33 PM

Hey Betty how was the pain tonight after doing a 1 mile walk.

I'm icing my knee right now

Vikki

Rita80 · 09-12-2008, 06:38 PM

Vikki, it was

but I just kept saying "KEEP GOING" ...

This is probably as frustrating for me as your knee is for you .. don'tcha just wanna say "look, I got better things to do than milk this injury?" That's how I feel.

A couple of times tonight I started to get into "running form" .. and DH was like "STOP!" I tell ya, it was all I could do ... I WANT TO RUN SOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!

168 days to marathon day .. I gotta get back into it !!!

TALK ABOUT FRUSTRATED !

Girl, I am soooooooooooooo proud of you taking a couple of days off. If anyone understands how tough it is to do that, it is me. But trust me, you will be glad you did it in the long run. Does the knee feel better? Are you taking glucosamine? AND DID YOU GET THE NEW SHOES YET?
