September 9, 201412 yr Did a small group class at lunchtime - bike intervals interspersed with tabata body weight exercises ( think 20'seconds on 10'secomds rest x 4 lots of torture ) ... crawled back to work after
September 9, 201412 yr embrace the suck.... embrace the suck....embrace the suck.... This makes my legs hurt... But I'm embracing the suck!
September 10, 201412 yr totally housework kills me too lol. Added a power walk and some exercise bike in (to combat food intake, shhhh).
September 10, 201412 yr Day 3 level 3 of RI30. My legs hurt! Can't seem to get back to healthy eating...least I'm exercising I guess! :p
September 10, 201412 yr Going to the gym tomorrow bright and early... gulp. Hopefully before the meatheads!
September 12, 201412 yr Day 3 level 3 RI30. I've not been very healthy with my food choices (and overate) lately....put on 2 lbs (serves me right!!).
September 12, 201412 yr Because of some other commitments - had 2 days in a row with my trainer - doing running, kick boxing and some killer weights - today was just gentle walking - all I could manage !!
September 13, 201412 yr Went jogging- still not fast but getting consistent with it - which is amazing for me when it comes to jogging / running !
September 13, 201412 yr I have been slacking in favor of work hours and worrying in my free time! Today I rode my bike about 14 miles
September 13, 201412 yr Last night, weights for 20 min and running 20 min at gym # 1. Today, weights for 45 minutes and spin for 45 minutes. I think I want to go running again though.
September 13, 201412 yr Author I ran 6.55 miles today.....I was thinking about the difference in my running from last year to this year I ran faster last year not a lot faster but a 9/10 minute mile this year I am running 11/12 minute mile BUT last year I stopped every mile to "catch my breath" and only ran 3/4 miles on average. This year I run 6.5 miles on average and I run for 3 miles before I stop to pee/take a breath etc..... then I run the rest of the way with the exception of the last 0,5 mile where I walk/run the last bit home......maybe I am being to hard on myself I am going further and being more consistent but am slower I dont know I would think that is better?
September 14, 201412 yr I recommit to my goal of exercise and healthy eating. Today I walked with some jogging 4.25 miles
September 15, 201412 yr The last couple of days did my form of jogging ( read old lady shuffle !). Today some fool agreed to a double session with her trainer ( for fool read Pippa !). - so just had a killer session with running ( I mean real running) kick boxing and killer weights .. It is only Monday here and I already want a wine !
September 15, 201412 yr 60 minutes at the gym. Did cardio and strength training! Zumba or Just Dance tonight and some stretching. My body's really tight and sore.
September 16, 201412 yr I quit smoking at the end of March and starting shortly after that, I started to exercise. I gradually increased my exercise to 30 minutes a day 6 days a week and in recent months I have begun to notice an increase in strength and endurance. During that time, I also decided to improve my nutrition and started to make home-cooked meals that were delicious and nutritious without being fattening. I was doing pretty good with that, too, and actually losing a little of the weight I gained when I quit smoking. Then my mother's condition deteriorated and I had to attend to her medical concerns and all my self-care activities went out the window for a couple or weeks. No exercise, sloppy diet, regained weight, etc. A-a-r-r-g-g-h-h!! That is so FRUSTRATING!!! Why does it take so long to improve our health but we can lose all our victories overnight. I don't get it! :angry: Anyway, the good news is that now that my mother is on the mend and I am home again, I am trying once again to get my diet and nutrition back where I want them to be. To that end, today I signed up at our local animal shelter to walk dogs for 1 hour 3 times a week. I love dogs but my husband is allergic to them so we can't own one. Walking these shelter dogs will be fun and good exercise for me and for the dogs. I also take the opportunity to do little training exercises with them (like how to walk on a leash without pulling the person's arm off or how to remain calm when another dog walker passes us) so that they will have a better chance of being adopted. We also had a delicious and nutritious dinner tonight (osso bucco--yum!). So having sucked my thumb and felt sorry for myself about the back-sliding, I am now pulling myself back together and trying again. It really IS hard to make these healthful changes a real, immutable part of a new healthier lifestyle, isn't it? But I'm trying, folks, that I am.
September 16, 201412 yr chrysalis, Rome was not built in a day. You have a lot on your plate, and you are doing just fantastic. I like to say I'm 'a work in progress.' Will we ever get exactly where we want to be? I'm not sure.
September 16, 201412 yr I am committed, insomnia be damned. Legs. Biceps, triceps abs. 35 min. Cardio
September 16, 201412 yr Day 6 of level 3...but I've been eating way too much of the wrong food & I've put on a few lbs :(
