Motivation

45 minutes on the elliptical today. Rain rain rain. Work is ultra gross. (lay offs). ugh. Trying to stay positive and hopeful.  I was not impacted this time but other really good people were. 

Do'nt forget to change your clocks this weekend.

Everyone on the West coast - stay safe.

Kari, I agree, the situation in Japan is so scary! And the nuclear reactors! :O

Dearest Harley -- Thank you for your prayers. I am trying so hard to make it to retirement eligibility. That way I can get benefits in at the compay "group" rate vs the open market!!! That will be HUGE as you know, with a "pre existing condition"!!

So today, I did my 30 minutes of weight training at the gym. I am so good on my exercise routine if I am home!! (Being away, another story!)

Love to all! Keep moving! Spring. 

Hi all, haven't been on the boards much, but, wanted to pop in and say hi, I'm still getting the exercise in.  Yesterday treadmill, not sure yet today

Hi everyone- Went to the gym with my husband this morning to do weights and now I am heading outside as the weather is warming up to do my 3 mile walk.....I am such the outdoor type of gal....luv that the daylight will be longer.....yipee!

June, it;s all messed up for me too when I open this thread. I have to click "147" or whatever the last page number is for it to load!!

KMMD, Yoga by the fire sounds so delicious. Good for you!

Saturday I did a 50 minute BIKE RIDE with DH and today I did 30 minute weight training at the GYM with BOTH DDs!! (home from college!) and then DH and one DD and I did a one hour plus bike ride. The weather in NC was GORGEOUS today! 77 degrees! Lovely day to speed along the greenway trails here. All that "winter work" on the eliptical paid off - the bike ride was enjoyable!

Does anybody else notice their LE act up when they do "inversion" stuff in Yoga? (up-side-down). Like Down Dogs or shoulder stands?? I believe these moves are causing me issues!! 

Spring, not as bad as some things, but, yes, especially if you hold the positions very long

Happy four year cancerversary, Harley!!!  Congrats & hugs!!! 

Harley, CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is FANTASTIC!! You are in inspiration to me!!

Slinky, I know you feel better to get moving! Don't overdo, but keep going! It alraedy sounds to me like you are feeling empowered! This is what it's all about! Exercise can help prevent cancer recurrence! Another motivation!

Well Monday I did weights at the Gym, and again today (trying to get the LE to be less annoying! I've decided I'm oing every day until it is better!) I also did 90 minute Yoga today, but it was a make up class, and it was "gentle" Yoga and it was very nice! We used chairs for some of it and that was cool. Wonder if I can remember to do some of those chair moves sitting at my desk all day!!! 

Springtime, Congrats on your workout, too!  Before cancer, I worked out for an hour and a half a day for 4-5 days a week.  Weights, elliptical and body resistance.  I ate well and my weight was very normal - obviously my healthy lifestyle couldn't prevent cancer.  Everyone is stunned that I got cancer, because they know me as the "workout girl".  I plan on showing everyone that I am still the "workout girl" who survived cancer!

Harley, Congrats on your 4 year anniversary! 

Stephanie,

Hope you are feeling better soon, girl!! 

Thanks, everyone, for the Happy Cancerversary wishes!!    Spring, you inspire me!!

It is a nice day out today.  Think I'll go for a short run through the neighborhood.

Have a great day!!

Harley

Isn't the weather beautiful?? Sitting on my back porch enjoying this lovely weather. Fresh air!!! Been doing the Wii. Ainm is an inspiration for this. Hate it when I step on the platform and it goes "OOHH" Doing about 1/2 hour every day which is better than I was doing. Still walking twice a day with the Dd. I might not be burning calories but I mainly need it for toning and strengthing some. The yoga part is tough too.

I got a new blade for the lawnmower so that means I will get more exercise in the very near future. Going up to visit my future DIL and granddaughters next weekend.(25th) Have to cut it short because there are only 2 ferrys running on Saturday. Well at least I won't wear out my welcome this trip.lol

Hope all start feeling better and Slinky, take it slow and don't push. I use to teach aerobics and walked up to 8 miles a day at my job. And I came down with "C" too. I feel I could handle it better than some one that doesn't stay active.(Like my sister) Stephanie-get well soon. I hate spring colds and flu, and allergies. Since Chemo I haven't had to take my allergy meds that I took 365 a year. Go figure!!

Thought I had done something to the computer-glad to see it isn't just me. I have to click on the page to get back to where we are too. Everyone have a great day. I'm enjoying my day off and the weather is cooperating today.

Glad to see everyone up and movng around!

Sobx, you are right about being in shape and then getting the "C'.  I am the most active in my family and if anyone had to get cancer, I am glad it was me.  Physically and emotionally I am able to remain strong (even though I have my very weak moments) throughout this whole "C" journey.

I am very sore (in a good way) today and I wish I could lay on my stomach to get a massage!  Darn TE's!

Same to you Ainm!! I think of you every day I get on the Wii.

I see nothing?????
