Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Come to Seattle, it's low 60s here!

60 min functional strength training and taught my cycle class this AM.

Good day! Got a call from the Fitness Director at the YMCA and they are going to use my "Lazy Man Triathlon" idea as a campaign fundraiser in September!  In a nutshell it is an Ironman triathlon that members have 30 days to complete!! I think we are going to raise money by getting pledges per mile...140.6 miles in all....

Very neat, Trchick!

Busy all day & didn't get home until 9 pm, at which point I did FIRM Maximum Cardio Burn plus Abs (so that I could check in here ).

It is nasty hot and humid here too. I think I should change my plane ticket to Seattle!!!!!

Thank goodness, Cheryl! The happy dance is the BEST exercise of all!

YAY Cheryl, good news!

Got up a bit late so just a short walk this morning.  Date night tonight so I won't post later. 

Wishing my fellow Americans a happy & safe Independence Day.  They are canceling fireworks all over the state due to fire danger but we'll still have ours tomorrow night.  Happy Birthday USA!

p.s. if anyone is interested in a free yoga for BC DVD, head to the pinned thread "How many of you do yoga" here in the exercise forum.  The woman who created them posted an e-mail address and you can write her for a free DVD. 

So glad for your good news, Cheryl!

I'm going to see my PS today, a little soon for my next checkup... but I experienced a weird sensation in my implant on Sunday during my long run, and when I called the office to ask, they said to come in just to check it out. About an hour into the run, it was as if the material got sloshy and oddly congealed, reacting to the heat maybe? Everything was back to normal afterward, but still, it's quite a disturbing feeling, having the texture change like that internally. I remember this happening on my long hot runs last summer too. It's a different implant now, but still.... let's hope this is just my new normal for running long in the heat and not a defect of the implant or anything.

Ick, Esther, I hope they can figure out what is going on. 'Sloshy' does not sound like much fun!

I got up early too to try to beat the heat. Walked for an hour & did 45 minutes of various toning activities. It is suppose to be a few degrees cooler tomorrow, and I sure hope the weatherman is right. We will be hosting our annual backyard 4th of July picnic, so will have a bunch of people over. The yard is very shady, but it still won't be very comfortable if the heat index is 95!

I am off to buy the rest of the groceries & then do a surface cleaning of the house. Stay cool girls!

Can I vent a little? I posted this in Whippetmom's thread about breast implant sizing since kayb (a runner, don't think she's posted here) had presented my question to her already.

Saw my PS today and boy did he try hard to make me feel stupid for my questions! But I showed him, hah!!  

Turns out it's when the muscles get soft and pliable and swell a bit from all the heat and movement of running, I can feel the implant moving around under them, and that's what I experience as the sloshiness. And the cut and dry of it is, if I weren't so keenly aware of all these subtle goings-on in my body, I wouldn't be troubled by them. So sue me for being in tune with my body... But is it really that hard for a woman who's had this procedure to get a list of what the "new normal" in sensations is going to be? And especially a runner?? Sheesh....

Sorry for the vent. I figured this crowd might be tolerant of it more than most. Thanks.

Vent away!!! I think that most surgeons like their patients best when they are unconscious! Many of them don't does as well when they are awake and asking questions.

I have very sad cat news. Our missing kitty is dead, and in such a bizarre, freak accident way that I don't even want to post it. Lots of tears around here. DH found her on his doorstep at work when she was a 1 pound stray kitten so felt like her rescuer.  I always thought of her as my 'life goes on' reminder, as she joined the family shortly after I had finished my last treatment. She was also the only pet that DS ever got to name.

So sorry about your kitty, Ruth....

Nancy, I must've missed your post the other days.... here's good thoughts your way...

Oh, but I've got some good news to share too: my GF and I finally booked our flights this morning for our week at trail running camp in Colorado! So excited!! 

Ruth - I'm so sorry about your furkid.  I was hoping so much for a happy ending.  Gentle hugs to you and your family. 

My condolences to you ruth.

Oh Ruth I am so so sorry, I know how broken hearted you are feeling (((HUG))).

Orangemat we are atuned to the workings of our bodies and when something strange happens we need our questions answered.  Misswim I love the title Sprawl and Brawl please let us know what it entails cause it sounds fun to me.  Did a Body Step class tonight, we had a young man come in for his first class probably 18 to 20, had to leave 3/4's of the way through he was covered in sweat and said he'll come back but I don't believe him

Happy 4th everyone.

I try to get in as much walking as I can, without "Walking like a duck", due to my incurable disease, which makes working out below the waist almost impossible. But I try. I especially love to walk along the beach with my husband, and sister, who dutifully  bends to pick up seashells for me. I also play with my wii, using my upper body which is somewhat satisfying.
