Let's Post our Daily Exercise

1/2 hour brisk walk yesterday but nothing today:( Jazzy I like the idea of a Vivofit!

Yoga tomorrow AM

got a couple loads of laundry to do today!

Okay ladies, I have decided to join your group in the hope that you girls will keep me motivated, inspired and just plain "make me" exercise. Today, I did the 30 minute stretching class @ the gym. I get very bored doing the same routines, so I try to mix it up. I start radiation 12/1 and after I finish that I will be on Arimidex for 5 years. Hearing all the comments about the joint pain from the girls taking it is kind of making me a little uneasy so I thought I should try to get into some kind of routine.

Nash54,

Motivation is what I'm looking for. I just wish I enjoyed exercising the way I enjoy eating lol. Good luck to you too...you've started & that's the hardest thing to do.

Hi LilacBlue,

I'll have no trouble with slow...it's the steady that might take a lot of effort lol.

30 minutes at the gym today, plus some walking!! Hope everyone had a good day!!!

Welcome to the newcomers! Pita119, I too wish I could enjoy exercise as much as I do food...LOL But there is incentive since it does tend to keep the joint pain away.

Cheryl and Wonderland, thank you. I consider myself extremely fortunate that I was not injured. I just hate the hassle of buying a new car when I really liked mine. As if the holiday season is not busy enough.

Ok, enough whining. Got back on track exercising today by going to bootcamp. Today was a blend of upper body and abs.

Sweet dreams all.

20 minutes of abs (crunches, planks, etc) today. Does sex count as exercise? If, so that was my exercise for yesterday...maybe tonight too. Just began OS so trying to make the most of my estrogen while I still have it

Hard to get out from under the warm covers but am on my way to my 6AM spin class!

Hi everyone,

Back from my travels, and must say, it's great to be home. Didn't get that much exercise during the conference, but did walk whenever I could. (I was usually the only one from my group walking, and consequently, the only one who really got to see/experience the place.) However, my friend Nadine and I walked our legs off as both of us love to explore, and were more than up to it. She can't wait for our next adventure. I also got in a swim, which was great fun. But do have to say that it's wonderful to be back in cool temps and back to my life.

Lesson from my travels is to drink mixed drinks or local microbrew unless in a place with great wine. I had way too much bad wine, which wasn't cheap BTW.

Miami Beach was created to be the New World answer to the Riviera in the 1920s, but as seen through the lens of Florenz Ziegfeld. Now, it has a decidedly Latin overlay. Liked Brazilian food best. I was sorry that so much of the original Deco details have been lost in the upgrades. But very fun just the same.

At the conference, I got to learn about some of the work being done to prevent brain mets, particularly in HER2+ patients. Trials will be getting underway soon. So, that is very exciting. Plus, thrilling to learn about the work being done on behalf of primary brain tumor patients.

I was so glad to have new professional duds and look the part. But marred the look a bit by wearing flats. My feet thanked me for that.

For anyone who ever has to plan conferences, DO NOT take away the coffee. I got in major exercise sprinting to make sure I got some before they removed the food/coffee. One time, I had only cream cheese for breakfast as they had taken away everything else. Overall, the food was mediocre at best, but elaborately presented. So just ate enough to fuel myself for the day. Had to do a couple of coffee runs as energy wanes in the early afternoon. Got taken out to some great dinners (with good wine).

Still processing the week, but a major milestone in my life. Now, to face reality and a lot of work. All sorts of catching up to do. Plus, get back on the exercise wagon. Was great to do my weights routine last night. Crunches as soon as I have another cup of tea.

One final treat: it was a great flight back and I got to see 1) the Mississippi Delta which was just spectacular to fly over and 2) the sun setting over the Great Salt Lake. Both were amazing moments and so glad I had a window seat to enjoy them. This was Dallas-Seattle so we flew over vast tracts of nothingness, which I always find so awe-inspiring.

But so glad to be home, and back to my life. - Claire

no exercise for me today...but I did get my muscles worked over during a massage....

3 mile run with temps in the 20's yesterday - quite brisk!

Yoga DVD this morning. Off to an appointment after work for a way-overdue cut and color!

great photo ruthbru!

Went to Sh'bam this morning.  Ruth I just saw your Penguin shake on FB, you girls "rocked" it or should I say "Shaked" it.

11/19- recovered from my virusy thing and got moving today. Did an end of the day 30 minute walk in the cold. What I notice now after all the personal training is that I miss it when I cannot exercise.

I will hit my target of 10K steps today once again after doing less the past few days. The Vivofit band is really keeping me watching how much I move or not each day, and motivates me to do more. Tomorrow I hope to get back to the gym for my bike cardio work out!
