Shaping up for 2.0

[NancyIL]

Finally a nice sunny day, so I go for lunchtime walk.
Still nice after work, so I am go for evening walk.

I was walking with my partner, each of us plugged into our own podcasts on our ipods. I was walking faster, listening to the show, not paying attention, and boom! I caught my toe on a broken up sidewalk and down I went! Scraped knee, bruised hands from trying to break the fall, and slightly sprained ankle.

It was 20 minutes into the show (one mile), just heard the question about what would surprise us about the podcasters.

I didn't finish the show. My partner and I gave up our ipods and talked to each other as I slowly finished the walk. Walked almost an hour to finish up the four mile walk.

I am icing the ankle now. Saving the rest of the podcast for another walk. And, yes, I will be more careful!

Ouch - that sounds quite painful! I hope your banged-up body parts will heal quickly.

I hope your ankle is OK this morning.
Just remember RICE - Rest - Ice - Compression (Wrap it) - Elevation.
Don't try and overdo getting back out on it. Give it a couple of days to heal.

I finally got around to doing my 30 Day Shred workout this afternoon. I can tell I haven't done it in awhile, because I had a hard time getting through the 2-minute cardio sections without stopping to catch my breath! Although it isn't the 60-minutes of exercise that Jillian Michaels recommends - it's better than no exercise.

Ohhhhhhh - sounds interesting - - would you care to let us know what a "30 Day Shred" workout is? I need something new to do.

It's one of Jillian Michaels' (trainer on The Biggest Loser) DVD's:

The workouts are only 20 minutes each, but they're real butt-kickers!

Thank you so much for the link for the workout DVD. I watched the demo video they have - of course it only shows the warm-up
Everything Jillian does is kick-butt - I'm going to see if I can find it in a store locally. Thanks again

You're welcome. I'm pretty sure you can get it at Target or Wal-Mart.

Happy Friday, Everyone!

I walked this morning for 3.6 miles.

Have a good weekend!

I had my weigh in today for my WW meeting, and I lost another pound!



That brings my total to 46.2 lbs lost!

Thanks for the woohoo.

I was crazy enough to push my walk further than normal. I walked over 6 miles today.

I'm drinking water, lots of it!

Congrats on the loss!

I hope the scales are friendly to me tomorrow. I didn't eat as well as I could have this week, nothing sounded good, so I ate stuff I shouldn't have.

Good for you, make sure you stay hydrated.
Did you walk indoors or outside?



I pushed my self a little more this week too, adding .5 miles to my morning walk distance. My walking partner was on vacation this past week, so I will have to break her in to my longer distance next week.

This morning, I walked 3.5 miles at the walking track around our little league park. It is nice, but the one I walk on during the week is nicer - it has a padded surface.

Been there, done that. Sometimes you have stuff that isn't good for you, but it all seems to work out in the end. Good luck tomorrow, Tracey.

Walked in the forest preserve bike path. It was pretty hot, but there were plenty of areas where the walk took me into some shady areas.

Yeah, I need to find me a nice padded walking track.

I think I may have to try the track at the college near me. It is a very nice surface. No broken asphalt sidewalks for me to trip on like I did Thursday night. I am still nursing swollen ankle, scraped knee. And not till a day later did I realize that when I broke my fall with my arm, I really hurt my upper arm and shoulder.

My advice...
Exercise is good, but don't get hurt so that your exercise is then limited while you recover!

Ouch, I hope you feel better soon, Lyn.

FANTASTIC

You're really inspiring me... I keep telling myself that the cruise is soooooo far away - that I've got plenty of time. Well I just realized - I've got 96 days until I go to WDW for Food & Wine Festival guess I better get my butt into high gear.....

Great job, Lorie! Tell me, when you go to WDW, do you stay on plan at all or eat what you want but are more aware or just gorge? My trip is coming up fast! (Well, ok, 8 weeks, but that'll fly by!)

To be honest, I was keeping on plan for the most part when I did the Adventures by Disney trip to Disneyland/Hollywood in December. There were a LOT of buffets included as part of that trip, so I made sure I went in with a plan of action.

However, my next few trips are going to be highly food-centric. Obviously the food and wine festival trip will be a challenge. I am going to nosh around the World Showcase kiosks, but at least I will be walking in some mileage while I'm doing that! One of my friends suggested doing a lap for every item consumed, but I think that's pushing it WAY over the limit. I do like that idea, so maybe doing a lap for every third item consumed might toss in extra activity points.

But I will be planning on doing some festival dining events. The best I can do is to try to leave food on the plate. I figure that I will be doing a lot of walking on that trip, so I will indulge and not worry too much about keeping "on plan".

I have a trip in November to spend my 40th birthday in Vegas. (Woohoo!)
I have scheduled some major food into that trip, so I expect to come back a few pounds heavier! I don't indulge like this for every birthday, but I will be doing so for this birthday! Maybe I can get some walking in to counteract some of that damage.

In December, we have Dis-A-Palooza, and I know I'll be indulging then, too. I think by that time, I can try to rein it in a bit. It will probably be easier to deal with because there's no food and wine festival going on. I'll have you guys along with me, so we can be each other's "support system" if you think that'll help.

Today was weigh-in day. I gained a pound. My total loss is 12 lbs.

My food choices last week were not the best. I was in one of those nothing sounds good moods and just ate what ever was presented as a choice. I hope to do better this week.

 

[mainegal]

Tomorrow morning is weigh in.

Can't wait to see how well I balanced ---
18 hours in movie theater seats in three days -
trying not to snack too much in movie theater -
riding bike to movie theater and between shows.

No worries, Tracey. You'll do better next week.
