Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Just wanted to checkin. I really need to be more active on this thread. I just hit a very emotional weight that brought back a lot of memories and sadness but at the same time I am so happy and relieved to be living this WOL. I honestly hardly think about it anymore It just seems natural. I took my kids to the park with an ex BF and his little boy yesterday. We hit Scandia and I didn't even think about the pizza or diet sodas. I had some homemade yogurt with flax for a snack. When I took the kids to carks jr, I had a low carb burger (6gr) and stayed right on track. (That said, order w/o the catsup and mayo I found the ingredients list for all their foods on the web site. WOW! The catsup and mayo has sugar). I didn't drink enough water though and when I weighed this morning the drop was a shock and only compounded the emotional visit with the ex. I'm doing really well.

I need to add strength training to my routine. I haven't ever been able to stick with exercise that feels like exercise but I want to do some core training so I can start hiking. Hiking and backpacking doesn't feel like exercise to me at all and it's something that would break up my weekday walking.

Hey, good for you! Already on your way, aren't you!

I'm getting more miles in on the r.bike. 15 miles between yesterday and today. I would like to do at least 10 miles a day - hoping to get to that point in April.

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

100 crunches on the ab lounge. Brother showed me a way to deal with the foot rest. If anyone is considering the ab lounge, you want to get one that has adjustable foot rests. My brother is going to modify this one for me. In the meantime, I'm placing my feet at the joint where he's going to put a bar for the foot rest. It made a HUGE difference in how I'm using it and not putting any stress on the lower back.

Just tried the jeans on that I'm trying to get into. They seem to be a *bit* looser but still have a loooonnng ways to go!

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Sorry I took Sunday and Monday off after the torture I put myself thru on Saturday. Back on track today -

Got in my crunches, squats, pushups, stability ball, pedaling and some walking -- almost forgot the arm weights.

Hope everyone had a great April Fools!

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Yeah! It was finally warm today! 75 degrees! I walked outside for 55 minutes! Then, after I made myself come inside, I did 35 minutes of 5-pound weights.

At one time, I had firmed up very well with a lot of exercise. Since I had to stop for so long for various health problems, I feel so flabby and jiggly when I am exercising. As much as I enjoyed my walk today, I felt like a big sack of Jell-O jiggling all over the place! I have to keep up the exercise and get back in shape.

It was nasty cold and rainy/snowy yesterday, so I didn't do anything. My legs were still very weak from standing/singing for the better part of four hours at church on Sunday.

Sunny!

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

Well, I actually did my 1 hour "cardio sculpt" tape from The Firm after work today--oh, man it was tough but I did the best I could. It is a combination of step aerobics and weights with about a MILLION lunge type exercises on a nasty piece of equipment called the "fanny lifter"---these women are sadists

I dread how sore I know I am going to be tomorrow AM but I am glad at the moment that I did it. Plan to do TaeBo tomorrow night

Hope everyone is having a good week so far!!

It appears that I must come to CT to let your chickens out so you have to chase them to get them back in the coop! Maybe you should get some guinea hens so you have to walk all over creation to find the nests. I hated that job even worse than pulling weeds when I was a kid. I had to stalk them every day to see where they were hiding their eggs.

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

I'm super excited! I joined curves last night with my friend and they seem to have a really exciting program. My first workout with them is on Monday. Their machines kinda look fun and tough at the same time. I have a feelling its gonna hurt but I'm still looking forward to it

Re: Spring Into Summer Picture Challenge

I swam a mile yesterday alternating between back stroke, breast stroke, freestyle and kick paddle. I also walked 30 minutes on the tread mill. Which is good because by the time I got home, an hour later, I started my period and thought I was going to die. I couldn't do anything but lay down. This morning is going really slowly too.
