Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

48 flights is awesome Jimmie .... 60 makes me gasp! Don't overload yourself...save a few mins between flights and exercise to make yummy Atkins dishes too!

Denise... nice to know there's another 'country' walker around, as opposed to a treadmiller; though confess there are many times in the winter when I'd dearly love a treadmill. My hounds have a campaign against it though!

On track with the doggy tramp and exercise routine. Tough going these days: it's hot as hades (99° F) and humid.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

All right long weekenders I'll bump us. I skipped last night, got some disappointing news and was dreading the weekend w/o DH, so had a drink and crashed w/the boys. Today chased them all day, went swimming, threw water balloons, swimming again. Now, most of the swimming is on my butt with the baby, so it's not really exercising...but it is tiring But, tonight doing the 8 mins for sure, may do the WATP too, we'll see.

Hugs

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

oh i had a lovely sluggy vacation just swimming, soccer, and walking in the mountains no treadmills nor weights.

Back on the treadmill this morning. How was your weekends?

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Hi 2big! Glad you had some nice relaxing time. I didn't hear you mention SLEEP, but I hope you got some of that too.

I started WATP last night and only got about 6 minutes in, I was just beat. Maybe tonight. Maybe. I have been secret squating, clenching and lunging at work, the might accomplish something DH will be home tomorrow night, til then if we all survive, I'll call it a successful weekend, even exercising wise, I just KNOW I move with those kids. Heck, I practically PULLED a muscle yanking Benji out of the pool

Hugs
Denise

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

i am hanging in there too. i have tried to get something in every day for this current challenge. some days it was mowing and sky does count that. today i just barely made it. i didn't do much but i got 3 sets of 12 flights done. tomorrow will be my final day for the virtual buildings. i am very anxious to reach the top of this last tower.

sal and 2big, your award for the summer read is on page one of our thread! pick your favorite!

2big, thank you for helping out with our reading project! i am hoping the thread will be looked at in the future and i hope that some more posting goes on through this week as we discover some new recipes.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Good to hear you had a fine time 2big.
Nice awards for the read, Jimmie! Ty ty ty!
Denise...aren't kids the greatest for exercise!!! Lol!

Been on track with exercise routine but didn't walk the dogs yesterday as I did three hours cleaning, watering, yard sweeping etc. etc and was just too tired with this hot humid weather (99°F). Hounds were not impressed with a ten minute lollop behind the car...but for me it was bliss.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

2big, i am happy that you enjoyed your time off. you needed the break, i am sure of that.

how did your sister fair with your mom? when you aren't use to things, that kind of change can throw you for a loop!

sal, that sounded so funny about the dogs lopping behind the car and you being in bliss. lol aren't you glad they have unconditional love for you? lol

[sallyseachange]

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Oh too right Jimmie! Unconditional love is the best! Also... dogs don't care if you're blue some days, or now and again you don't look your best... They don't worry if you wear smelly old jeans and put off your shower until the next morning. They just love you the way you are, warts and all...

...or am I being blind? Is it all simply cupboard love???

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

LOL at cupboard love. I think it's both

JImmie, good to see you!

2big, hope you and mama are getting back in to the swing of things well.

1 mile bike ride pulling trailer w/boys in it yesterday, squats and lunges at work (25 ea and 12 "pops", kind of holding/bouncing at the halfway part), 3 sets of 5 pushups, and 2.7 mile bike ride sans boys tonight. Going to work my arms now while I watch...something

Hope you all have a great night.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

Busy days post-holiday, huh?

Went for about a 2 mile bike ride tonight. Carried Benji around farmers market and outdoor concert about an hour. Squats and Lunges and pops at work. Arms work.

Off to shower and sleep. Boys have been ROTTEN sleepers this week, I'm beat.

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

sorry, denice. i just have been taking some time off the board. had to cut it lose for bit.
i am glad i don't have wee ones to care for anymore. have you lost any more of the 3 pounds you're hanging on too? those last ones seem to take forever!


i biked today and did 15 flights. yesterday i was busy sewing and actually liking it so exercise didn't happen. i completely let time get away from me.

anybody heard from sadie lately?

[2big4mysize]

Re: The Goalie's Challenge Exercise Thread

looks like y'all are doing great. Days off are great as long as they are not days off from Atkins. Mother survived but many things they were supposed to do didn't happen and it was basically a vacation for the two oif them too. My body reminded me why it loved the gym and why skipping working out is bad LOL. my coming and going muscle cramp in the right upper sixpack is really getting annoying and I'm seeing my doc when he gets back from vacation about it.

where is Sadie? both are missing.

I got to take something out to add the reading award Jimmie jo. hey how about moving the DANDR reading topic to the most memorible forum so it will never get culled should emergency culling ever be needed again.
