Good morning everyone!

Just finished running on my glider this morning - 1st workout of the day completed.

Lets make this a fabulous low carb day, eat well, drink plenty of water and enjoy some form of exercise.

Have a wonderful day!

No workout for me yet today (unless you count walking to the bus stop in a blizzard!). It is NASTY outside today! Looks like my (real) workout will be the wii fit or the treadmill tonight.
Didn't do much meal planning, shopping or cooking this week-end, but have lots of legal stuff in the freezer, so should be OK Doubt I'll be going out for groceries in this weather, but I'm pretty sure I have enough fresh veggies to get by for a couple more days...by then the roads should be better, although it is supposed to get really cold...

Hey Julie....be careful out there girl when you're walking around!!!!

I have to look into this "wii fit" thingy...I'm so out of the loop on it...I've heard a lot of great things...do you like it? Is it effective/do you see results?

I don't think I get as good a cardio workout on it as I do on the bike or treadmill, but I'm sure that my sense of balance is improving. I have had problems with my feet, and this really seems to be strengthening the muscles in my feet & ankles. It is a "fun" thing to do for exercise, but I'm not sure it can replace a "real" workout. Having said that, according to the wii & the bike, I burn about as many calories in 30minutes on the wii as I do in 20 minutes on the bike...so calorie wise (assuming both machines are in the ball park about this) I am burning the same amount (since I never do less than 30 minutes on the wii & usually do 20 on the bike).

That is quite impressive....it sounds like it does provide quite the workout...thanks for the feedback/review...I appreciate it!

Glad to hear that the muscles in your feet and ankles are strengthening. When I was younger I seemed to suffer from sprained ankles a lot...thankfully that changed...my ankles always seemed to be weak but have been great through my adult life.

Stay warm and bundled up Julie! You could send some snow this way....we're in great need especially with the Olympics being JUST around the corner!

No workout for me today either. I'm feeling a bit puny and will most likely be snuggling pillows more than weights for a few days.
