Let's Post our Daily Exercise

Happy start of the week to all of you.  

Schlep & sculpt at my monthly MO appt. this morning.   I logged in about a mile hiking from one building to another and climbing stairs.   

Mary  Congrats that you're in on the 1/2 marathon.  Carrol2   Happy Birthday!  

Happy belated birthday, Carrol!  Mary, congratulations on the half marathon spot.  Tiffany jewelry beats a t-shirt any day!

Well I think I skipped 2 days of exercise.  I was really dragging this weekend.  Finally rebounded and did about 20 minutes of hula hoop plus 40 minutes brisk walk tonight.  I think I spotted my favorite Christmas lawn decoration in the neighborhood-- a little T-Rex dinosaur holding a present in his tiny short arms. 

Hope you had a very Happy Birthday Carrol.  Congratulations on getting into the marathon Mary now the hard work begins.   Thinking about you Misswim hoping that your dad is doing better.  Lilac I have a friend in South Darenth so I've been there tons of times ... happy memories.

Body combat class tonight and now I can barely lift my arms, that boy worked us out hard tonight.

That IS awesome, mariane.

Belated happy birthday, Carrol! Am also dreading weigh-in tomorrow. I may just skip it. And it wasn't my birthday.

Half hour cardio and half hour weights and stretches.

hi ladies, one last post before I head out.

Mary, congrats on getting into the half-marathon!

Happy belated birthday, Carrol.

Love to you all, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, I'll be back in ten days!  ((hugs))

Liv, yeah, I joke about it, but I do think it really helped me get through in good shape. If it was something I enjoyed I pushed myself to do it. All the other stuff, not at all. It wasn't only mopping, but also stuff like dinners out. If the dinner was with friends I enjoy, I went even if I was looking near death. People I find a drag? Just feeling too, too terrible to go, sorry! It is actually amazing how good a time you can have if you get all selective like that. Not a bad lesson for post-chemo either.

Mariane - fabulous news on the bloodwork - you must feel like a new woman.  Badger - enjoy! 

Agree on exercising the power of being selective about what we do and who we spend time with.  It's quite liberating.

OK - I have a training schedule designed with the assistance of my marathon and Ironman co-workers.  Now I haveto stick to it!  35 minute treadmill run last night, 30 minutes cross training (elliptical) this morning. 

Mary, that's so exciting about the half marathon. I'll be following you (virtually!) on your training runs.

Off to Zumba soon. Just have to make dinner first.

Don't make the cookies if you don't want too!

Went to another Christmas thing after school (brought the 'little wienies' that you dump in a crock-pot with a bottle of barbecue sauce), then went back to my room and corrected papers until 6 pm.  60 minutes on the treadmill & 30 Arms/Abs/Buns of Steel once I finally got home since I had no need to eat supper!

Mary, wonderful that you got a number for the run and Badger - enjoy!

Off to freestyle step and Cheryl, my gym including the classes have been sparse as well this week.

The exercise has been spotty for me lately, with too much else on my plate.  Did go to spinning class last night, can feel the legs getting stronger.  And got up and did some classical stretch this AM. Maybe a walk at lunch today.

Had a RO appt yesterday, so got some walking in from the distant parking lot   Not sure why I need to keep seeing him at this point, he said everything looked great, see you in a year.  That's one thing about cancer, you sure do have a lot of doctors - and they all want to know what the other docs are doing.  At first I was comforted by seeing so many specialists, but now 1 1/2 years later, I'm finding it annoying.

misswim: good luck with your surgery tomorrow!

Good evening all. I had a great walk/run today. Mild weather helped. 

Waiting for the email on my new computer to update.  My old one died yesterday.  Was fixable, but when I took a good look at things, I decided to bite the bullet and start over.  Loving my new keyboard, and larger screen.  Plus weighs less.

Not that much exercise today, but will be going on foot to see "Land of the Sweets".  Just so much fun, and can't wait.

Will catch up on other things later. - Claire

200 cookies done will do another 200 tomorrow night, I am exhausted.  Had planned on finishing up work on friday but people keep bringing me last minute stuff and now I have to work all weekend thank goodness I finished my shopping.  Hope all went well misswim.

Spin class tonight. 

Cheryl alias Cookie-baking Monster, I was in that area last summer. I specifically avoided that bridge while DD and DH took an alpine climbing route with their ropes, helmets and carabiners. I had major dizziness and vertigo in the summer, which turned out to be just eye issues. But my solo hikes were still gorgeous. Yes, I'd love to accompany you to a chocolate factory. I thought I'd be getting to see one for the first time with Marybe, but she didn't make it here. Now I've got tears in my eyes. Sorry for the downer post.

Did Zumba yesterday on the Wii with DD.
