Exercise check-in. Are you still doing it?

[glo]

Did the 3 mile today... With 3 pound hand weights...I am tired.


Yes, TIGH all it took was someone to push me over the edge. Your words to me really sparked something, and I thank you very much fir it. It is true the determination is in there for all of us. We have our good days and our bad days, but it is still there. If we want it bad enough that little seed of determination will grow.


I know this sounds weird, but I am going to see a few people I have not seen in a while soon. I am hoping like you would not believe that I get atleast one WOWser. It is not enough for me to see it, and people who see you daily do not notice it, but I am hoping. If it doesn't happen, then it means I have to try harder for the group I am seeing in July

I know I can do it...I may not get exactly where I want to be, but wherever I get has to be better than where I ws

Hugs TIGH...your words inspored me and I thank you

Exercise is now a part of my life. After dinner, I put on my workout clothes and head to the gym.

How about a weekly exercise challenge and checkin? People can post what type of exercise they did and how they feel.

Wow! You guys are so inspiring!

Unfortunately, I did zip this week. I have had a miserable cold (head and chest) and could hardly breathe to get to the couch from the bed. It's on the downhill side now, so I should be able to take up my walking again. As much as I hate exercize, I actually missed it. I think you guys are really getting to me! LOL!

Believe in yourself!

Thanks, Katholyn! I think the PD you sent my way must have helped! I was able to do a 30 min workout last night with my dumbells, crunches, stretches, etc.

Today DH & I walked outside for 30 min (just under 2 miles) complete with hills. I also did 5 loads of laundry & other housework so I've been running up & down the stairs all day, & I plan to do some more with my dumbells & crunches after dinner. It's good to be human again! Now where else did I hear that line????

I really want my 5 lb clippie this week, and my 10 lb before we go to WDW next month. That will mean 15 lbs overall - short of my original goal of 25 lbs overall by then, but still a good loss for me. Exercise really does make me feel better, and the weight does come off easier, too!

I'm still exercising almost every day. The weather hasn't been warm enough to walk outside, so I'm using my treadmill 4-5 times a week. I have quite a few aerobic tapes to do on the days I don't use the treadmill.

I was a pretty consistent exerciser up until we got back from our WDW trip in January- I even used the gym at the Villas at Wilderness Lodge!!!

Then the cold weather came. And then I was a juror on a rape trial and that started to play with my head for a couple of weeks, believe it or not. I could start to hear myself saying "Why get in shape if this could happen to you?" But I slapped myself into reality because I know that's not why it happens. But that and the cold weather here kept me out of the gym for a good 6 to 8 weeks, but I'm back now.

Three days each week of free weights one upper body, one lower body, one total body workout. I'm at the Y at 5:00 on those mornings and I've joined a Water Aerobics- Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-8pm. I figure with the good weather coming I'll be throwing in a walk and/or bike ride here and there!

Good to see so many others getting in shape. I really believe you have to do both diet and exercise if you really want to see results.
