Let's Post our Daily Exercise

coonie

I haven't rode my bike yet, but it's definitely on the agenda for today. The rain is gone for now, the weather is cooler and, uuumm......plus I had some of my DH's birthday cake.......chocolate through and through

Marple

Doggus and I went for a brisk walk for about 30 minutes. 

Happy (belated) Birthday Mr. Coonie.

Gosh, it's been raining a lot here too.  We had a sunny Sat.

coonie

I bet doggus walked YOU, huh Sharon?

Mr. Coonie thanks you for the bd wishes.

Marple

..........and I had to carry a 'weight' on the trip home

Carole, it is hard to maintain an exercise routine during active treatment.  You just have to do what you are going - start again.

 My plans for today are a lunch time walk and to go to pilates class in the evening.  After pilates class, I am going the gym and sneak in a session on the recumbant bike.  

Marple

Oh my, I was just looking at my number of posts.  Does that count as a workout?  Do I win the award for having no life outside of BCO?

Hi Sharon,

You definitely get the award for the most workouts on bco!  LOL!

 Have a great afternoon!

So, exercise of the fingers counts?  Yay!  I'm on the computer all day and then here at night.

My knee has been giving problems today but I still got on the treadmill.  Could only last for a mile/23 minutes but at least I moved.  Will be busy tomorrow so don't expect to get much done - but you never, never know!

kbugmom

I need to use my treadmill again.

momand2kids

weights this morning for 30 minutes!!!

have a great day!

Kbug--join us!  I think as long as we move and do something it's better than nothing!  

Patoo--I think it's great that you did the treadmill in spite of your knee.  Don't over do it, though!

I work today so I'm probably just going to walk the dog for my exercise today.  We walk very briskly!

Have a great day!

Phew, done my brisk walk.  I think it's about 40 minutes.........more than 30 anyway.  I feel the pressure from this thread.  That's good 'cause it makes me get off my butt.

My plans for today are:  1) lunch hour walk

                                    2) yoga class after work

                                    3) elliptical glider

Sharon, I agree with you - I think this thread is a good idea.  I think it helps me to write down what I am going to do & I don't want to have to come back and say I bailed on something. 

Patoo, I hope your knee is better.

Posting for Coonie........

Hi, my name is Coonie. And I am a sloth.

I know I said I was going to ride my bike yesterday, but I didn't because, uummm, well.....there's just no excuse. I'm working today, but I will try my best to ride tonight when I get home. Sharon is right about this thread. It keeps me accountable.

I agree, this thread is great.  My knee is not better and will have to get to my ortho doctor and check it out.  I can actually hear the fluid in it when I bend it.  Match that with a bad hip, same side, and there's a lot of pain depending on how I twist, turn or bend.

Have a 10-week support bc support group sponsored by two local cancer centers and tonight we did total body stretches so at least I had some activity today.  No treadmill though - not today.  The only other exercise I'll get will be climbing the steps up to bed in a few minutes.

lisa-e

patoo, ouch! I hope you can get in to see the ortho soon.



When I got to yoga class yesterday, I discovered that the instructor was on vacation and we had a sub. So instead of yoga, it was a swiss ball class (lots of core work). I was so tired afterwards I skipped the eliptical glider and went home,



I am climbing tonight, at the climbing gym. I will also go for my usual lunch hour walk today..

Morgan513

Good morning!  I never did get my dog walk in yesterday.  Wound up taking DS to karate and never got a chance to get the walk in.  

I'm planning to do a step workout this morning.  It's gloomy here today with more rain!  

Patoo--you should get your knee/hip checked soon.  I have friends who have suffered with bad knees and it is not fun at all.  I hope you are feeling better today.

Lisa--you sound like you really take on the day!  Are you sore from the core training?  

Coonie--you crack me up!  You are not a sloth!  Even being here means that you are at least thinking about it!

Lorrie 

coonie

hehe Lorrie!! Well, I guess hearing about others exercising is better than nothing, right?

And Noooooo, I didn't ride when I got home yesterday. It was late, I was tired, and I just KNEW I didn't need to put my poor body through that torture. I'm seriously thinking about doing it today, but it's really dark and stormy looking right now. I need to see what the weather is up to before getting out of course. Don't want to be like Dorothy and Toto and get blown away.

I promise I'll check back in later!

Hope you all have a great day!

I'll check back in later too but Morgan thanks for letting us know that Even being here means that you are at least thinking about it! - using our brain cells counts as exercise!  hehehe

coonie

Whew! Just got back from bike ride....10 miles in 39:42. I know it's not near like walking, but I sure am tired

Morgan513

OMG!  Your dog is adorable!!!  LOL!!!

I just finished my workout and let me tell you, your picture speaks for me too!  

Lorrie 

mumito

As soon as I can I will be joining this thread. Right now I look like that doggie only with a bigger belly.

coonie

Oh Lorrie.....that wasn't my dog, but this is one of mine!

And yeppers....I feel like doing this right now......LOL

Morgan513

Coonie--He's adorable too!  I felt like him earlier this morning.  I had to fight the urge to go back to bed after my boys left for school!  Now I feel like the other dog after my workout!  LOL!

How many dogs do you have?  I'm most likely getting another puppy next Monday night.

Mumayan--join us now!  No need to wait!

Lorrie---I have two dachshunds......Lucky and Opie. They're getting old (13 and 14). I just love dogs, well actually.....ANY kind of animal. When you get your pup, you'll have to post a pic:)

Morgan513

Coonie--I'm a huge dog lover.  I just can't help myself.  I had two old dogs who passed away last year while I was still undergoing treatment.  Talk about getting kicked when you are down!  It just so happened that the golden girl that I have now was returned to a breeder and the rest is history.  I really love this dog!  So, now a year later, I am going to get a golden boy from the same breeder.  I'm a little nervous about the new puppy but the dogs make me so happy, I don't think I can not do it!

Lorrie 

coonie

Ohhh Lorrie..so sorry to hear about losing furbabies during treatment. Mine were right with me during treatment. I couldn't have made it without them....seriously! They're able to sense when something is different.

Is that your pup in the avatar? She's beautiful! I bet she'll love having a baby brother...LOL

Morgan513

Losing my dogs was really hard on me.  They were my constant companions all through diagnosis and treatment.  

That's Sunny in my avatar!  I named her Sunshine because I thought I needed a little sunshine in my life all things considered!
