Four great exercise days in a row -- yesterday a one-hour walk at the lake with a friend and her dog who sets a very brisk pace, almost running. Weight is coming off; I'm so happy!

Still trying to figure out a bike. My husband put together a mountain bike for me, good ladies' saddle, somewhat upright handlebars, but I feel like I want a really upright old-fashioned kind of bike, that the leaning over isn't comfortable. Have wrist/hand issues, so there's that.

Goals for this summer: get bike and start Zumba, and what the heck I'll go swimming, too! Now for the snow to melt.....

Although I haven't started to exercise yet...I have been giving to green light to be able to get back to execising...hopefully will be meeting with a PT next week to start doing exercising in the pool again. It might not be the quickest way to do things...but I have to start somewhere...gonna look at getting a tricycle this weekend too...so I can ride also. have to take it slower than most folks...having some issues with my knee replacements...hopefully once more weight getting off I will be able to even do the aerobics in the pool. So here is hoping for a great new exercise bandster future!!!

Great weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks. Walking/hiking, got home this evening and went mushroom hunting/hiking. Didn't find any morels today, but still had a nice hike. The mushrooms will soon be up here. Happy Easter everyone.

Ok this is a first I ran on the treadmill at the gym . I take this class where we do like a circuit training 30 seconds of different exercises 3x each and switch exercises for a total of 3 sets of 3 but the cardio always stays the sane. Usually it's in a spin bike but Tuesday it was on a treadmill. I was scared to death but not as scared or intimated like the first time I walked I to that gym 93 lbs heavier. But I did it I ran for 30 seconds for 9 times and immediately went Into my circuit !!! I almost cried I was so proud of myself. Then a few of us took a spin class immediately after. Granted I was in bed by 8pm that night totally exhausted but looking forward when I can do it again I like the back to back classes it's a shame my job n gym schedule prevents me from doing it more often . Summer vacation is 20 weeks away so that's my plan for summer back to back classes at the gym what a difference a year in my life makes.

@readysetgo611 GREAT job!!! Sounds like mixing up your cardio worked well for you! Congrats and keep it up. You'll be running 5k's before you know it.

Today was Hiking/mushroom hunting for me. Thought I'd go biking after a short trip through the woods, but ended up finding several and got in a nice 2.5 hour walk.

5 mile run this morning after work.

Terrible exercise this week -- school vacation and morning work appointments threw off the routine. I need to look at each new day and make a strategy when things are overwhelming because of course that's when I need the exercise even more. I did get some walks in, etc., but not what I really need and my body is complaining about that.
