Let's Post our Daily Exercise

TwoHobbies, repeat 5 times, "any amount of exercise is not measly".  Now believe it.

Ginger48, think about joining us in San Diego in June 2015.  We have 2 condos so plenty of room and tons, tons, tons of fun.

30 min walk on treadmill with incline at 5.

Night my sculpted friends.

Hi Ladies, I have been visiting the gym regularly and had a half hour session with a trainer on Monday. Yesterday I did some of the weight machines and half an hour on a cross trainer. I was quite excited as my FITBIT arrived. My best effort so far is a 5k on the treadmill that I managed in just under 45 mins - part jogging and part walking (well more walking) but my knees get a little sore if I try to jog too much.

Wednesdays and Thursdays are my long drive to office days so I don't do a whole lot. I managed just a 10 minute walk around the parking lot that felt like a mile as I forgot to put on comfy shoes then walked up and down the stairs several times in my bare feet as they were so sore!!

It was fitness check up appt. at work today to get a small discount on 2015 health insurance. Numbers were all fine except my fasting blood glucose was 102, which is not high but is high for me and I am thinking it may be the tamoxifen that I started last month or maybe I was a little dehydrated. Not to worry.

Yesterday I did get in some exercise in the afternoon. I walked down the street to the store to get some milk and cough drops for hubby for his throat.

Today's excercise: laundry!

The running clinic schedule had a 3 mile run on the calendar for this morning, but it was pouring rain like crazy, so I opted for 45 minutes on the elliptical instead.  

It's DH & my 32nd anniversary today - we're meeting with a bunch of friends at the local pirate tavern after work for pirate-y fun and a mug of grog.  Arrrgghh, mateys!  

iyzzysmom, welcome and 5k under 45 is excellent! Yes Ruth, apple shape and supposedly, skirt is easier to convey overall meaning than bmi stats.  I enjoyed the comments (scroll to the bottom) regarding the article, the most.  

Body balance, pink pilates, and yoga today. 

Man, I am TIRED! The 7th grade science classes were crammed full of students who were doing a small group activity, so I did not sit down for even one second but spent the whole day roaming the room trying to keep kids on track. Lucky I was NOT wearing a step counter or it would have blown up! I had already made a date to walk with my fast walking neighbor; so after school we walked really far and long, and now I am going to sit in a chair with my feet up and do NOTHING!

 Happy Anniversary, Natsfan! Welcome, Iyzzysmom! Happy Birthday, Wonderland! What kind of cake? 

Ears plugged on what kind of cake.  I'm low carb this week, can't even hear about cake!  

Wonderland, breast cancer took plenty enough of my money already!  

I don't know if skirt size will work in the US.  They have altered sizes to make us think we're not fat.  Anyone else notice that?  in my twenties I wore size 6 pants. I wear size 6 today and I'm 14 pounds heavier and in fact, have worn size 6 as high as 20 pounds heavier, depending on the brand.   

I ran errands this evening.  I hope the "ran" in that sentence counts because that's all I got done and now its dark already.  I think I'll have to do the exercising first and errands afterward. 

Went to my livestrong.org YMCA class tonight and there were no other participants but me so I had the trainer all for myself. So she signed me up in the computer and set my baselines for 8 different machines 5 to work on range of motion for my legs and two for upper torso fitness, afterwards I did 6 minutes in the nustep machine and 6 min in the bycicle and ended with stretches. It was a really good work out and I felt great.

Happy anniversary Mary. Love hearing about couples lasting these days when it seems like most people just toss in the towel if things get tough. 

Happy Happy birthday Wonderland!!! Enjoy your cake as a wise person once told me that birthday calories don't count...LOL

Today's exercise was bootcamp. Shocking I know.....LOL 

Sweet dreams all!

Mary, congratulations to you and DH! Happy Birthday Wonderland!! Aurora, well done on your livestrong class and it's great that you had one-to-one training no less.  TwoHobbies, sizes here are different and I'm sure you are muscle (per Ruth's theory).  Hope you feel better soon and back out running Ginger.

Powerstep with hand weights  and body balance this morning at the gym.

Went to Yoga, took a walk, washed clothes, washed floors, cleaned the kitchen, cleaned bathrooms.....whew, now I need one of MOmmy's pumpkin iced coffees!!!!

I either need the coffee or a nap!

Haven't posted on here for a while.  My exercise routine for the last few weeks has consisted of refinishing the kitchen cabinets, doing a tile backsplash, painting all but two rooms in the house, and of course the daily and weekly cleaning of the house and the 15 loads of laundry I do each week for the five of us.  I'm sure it's not actually 15 loads but it sure feels like it sometimes!!  I'm down to eight more T/H/P treatments.  I've felt pretty good so hopefully I'll be able to get on the treadmill next week.  

I sure wish I liked iced coffees!  Maybe I'll find something else to reward myself.

RedReading - Cleo is a cutie!

Hi, ladies - So, I added this thread to My Favorite Topics earlier this week.  I peek at it and read what everyone is doing but haven't posted because, well...I haven't been doing anything...yet!  The key word here is "yet."  You all are motivating me and I hope to get moving soon.  I think I've managed two, or maybe three days on the treadmill a few weeks ago before, as my best friend says, "the wheels came off."  I've been sick with a virus since last Wednesday...the cough is lingering so I'm anxious for it to go away so I can make an attempt at this exercise stuff that I know I should be doing.
